[QUOTE="SteveC, post: 9510961, member: 9053"] I think I definitely misspoke if I gave the impression that I was going to do anything genuinely new, or that I was going to set the world on fire. I am firmly of the belief that there's nothing new under the sun as far as RPGs go. What can be different is how you assemble the different components, and how you present it. I'm putting my inspirations directly in the game for everyone to see so that you can go and look at other games for a different take on things if you like something I do but not everything. And I'm not quitting my day job. I'm quite fortunate in being in a stable job with a great boss and I can do this for fun. I think there will be some folks on Enworld who would like what I'm doing and many who wouldn't, so I'll definitely be sharing here but also not expecting anyone to want to abandon 5E or something. It's funny. My dad was an economist who told me that the vast majority of writers live below poverty. He told me that they didn't even have a category for game designers. But he also encouraged me to write and design. [/QUOTE]
