The Immortals Handbook

[Upper_Krust]

Hey all!

Thanks so much for the opinions.

Hi Krust!

Use Latin for some flavor.

immortalislibri.com
factusdeus.com
factusdivinus.com
superum.com

I actually tried a number of Latin words and phrases (such as deusexmachina and demiurge) which turned out to be already taken.

I don't really want to use any latin that won't immediately be recognisable to english speakers.

This one really grabbed my eye: metamortal.com

Funniliy enough everyone seems to have been picking up on that one and liking it.

My preferences (in order):
1. metamortal.com
2. immortalshandbook.com
3. craigcochrane.com
4. upper-krust.com

Integrating Chosen01's suggestions:
1. metamortal.com
2. immortalshandbook.com
3. craigcochrane.com
4. superum.com
5. upper-krust.com
6. factusdeus.com
7. factusdivinus.com
8. immortalislibri.com

(Sorry, Chosen01!)

Well I think Chosen01's suggestions were a bit obscure.

upper-krust.com seem the most reasonable to me. Using your real name just seems hokey to me, and I'd consider Upper Krust almost to be your online persona. Metamortal definately sounds better than immortalshandbook to me....

Well I agree using my own name sounds naff. I dunno about Upper-Krust; I mean the site is only indirectly about me. Its more to do with Immortals and that sort of thing.

Its cool. I just thought you might like something that sounds esoteric. Anyway, I vote for metamortal.com

I like metamortal.com as well

Hey Krust, if you choose to go the Upper_Krust.com way, www.uk.co.uk is free

Personally I would prefer www.upper-krust.com. It has a nice feel and it would allow for many other products, not related to the Immortal's Handbook in the future. To me metamortal.com sounds a bit blaaish. While you may want to have a domain that associates to your main product, I think it is a bit narrow in scope. You never know what you will do in the future. That's my reasoning. You don't want to create a new domain each time you create a new product (unrelated to the WPS)?

If you do want to associate the website to your WPS, I would certainly go for www.immortalshandbook.com. That's standard procedure and it won't lead people astray (as it might with www.metamortal.com).

I did like www.uk.co.uk (-;

Hmm... If it were to become upper-krust.com.. wouldn't it be better to make it upper_krust.com?

Well esoteric...but familiar.

Anyway, I vote for metamortal.com

Thanks for the feedback mate!

Thanks for the feedback too matey!

The thrust behind the website is the Immortal stuff though.

I think these sites need a unique selling point and I think Immortals are mine. Of course I have ideas for non-immortal stuff but for the forseable future I will be concentrating on Immortal related material.

Hmm... If it were to become upper-krust.com.. wouldn't it be better to make it upper_krust.com?

Tried it. Apparently you can only use certain punctuation.

I appreciate all the feedback, at this point metamortal is the clear favourite. I have the basic site design worked out, but I need to create all the various elements and so forth. Then theres the web provider. Then the Message Boards. More content, yadda yadda.

Hello

Hello,
I just wanted to say that this thread caught my eye a few days ago, and from what I have read so far, The Immortal's Handbook is definitely going to be on my shopping list. The party that I DM is only 10th Level, so they still have a ways to go, but in the meantime I will definitly use the IH to flesh out my campaign. (Deities and Demigods was rather sub- standard IMHO, was only useful as a sort of divine monster book). I do have one question: will the IH be 3.0 or 3.5 compatible (or both)? Anyway, keep up the good work.

P.S. I like Metamortal too, but I also think Omnipotence would be a very cool URL that would sort of reflect the IH and your sig.

Hello,

Hi there Valnauron Isthiliel!

I just wanted to say that this thread caught my eye a few days ago, and from what I have read so far, The Immortal's Handbook is definitely going to be on my shopping list.

Well I certainly appreciate the interest mate.

The party that I DM is only 10th Level, so they still have a ways to go, but in the meantime I will definitly use the IH to flesh out my campaign.

Thats what its there for, there is a lot of simple stuff for detailing religions from deities and vice versa, before you even get to Epic/Immortal levels.

(Deities and Demigods was rather sub- standard IMHO, was only useful as a sort of divine monster book).

It was a bit confused to say the least, neither one thing nor the other with regards creating a proper framework for either Immortal Characters or Religions.

I do have one question: will the IH be 3.0 or 3.5 compatible (or both)?

3.5 Compatible. I thought most of the changes were beneficial.

Anyway, keep up the good work.

Hey thanks.

P.S. I like Metamortal too,

Yes, it seems 90%+ seem to like metamortal as the site name, and since you can't please all the people all the time its plausible I may run with that.

but I also think Omnipotence would be a very cool URL that would sort of reflect the IH and your sig.

I just checked its unavailable unfortunately.

 

[Valnauron Isthiliel]

Hello again, Upper_Krust;

3.5 Compatible. I thought most of the changes were beneficial.

OK, just wondering (Currently their is one 3.5e PHB and one DMG between our whole group, but that should eventually change...).

Thats what its there for, there is a lot of simple stuff for detailing religions from deities and vice versa, before you even get to Epic/Immortal levels.

That's cool. I am curious to see if the entities that I currently have penciled in as Greater Gods (and one Over- God) do not actually fit in somewhere above that. As it sounds from what I have read so far, I think most of my pantheon could be expanded into other categories above "Immortals". The one overgod is neutral and is sort of supposed to be the universe incarnate, and the greater gods personify the other eight alignments (with pure Good, Evil, Law, and Chaos being stronger then the combination alignments. My intermediate gods are kind of like the things in Greek mythology that came right before Titans and right after Chaos (i.e. Gaia, Tartarus, Erebus, Night, Hemera, Phos, et al). Can you tell me where these types of beings fit under your system?

Hey U-K!

I know it may seem like too little, too late, but the SRD has been updated for epic levels, which is pretty much everything you need, eh? And uh...Hi by the way. I've been gone for over a month due to a problem with my cable co.

here is a link to the SRD:
SRD 3.5 with epic.

So happy birthday!
