The Immortals Handbook

[Upper_Krust]

Hiya mate!

Any idea of how long it'll be until we have a print version?

Approx. 3 months from the release of the first pdf.

Heck, do we even know for sure that there will be a print version?

I appreciate the concern mate. I am confident there will be.

I appreciate the concern mate. I am confident there will be.

I'm glad you're so confident. Have you worked things out with a publisher 'for sure', or are things still subject to change?

How much of the ideas (as opposed to the rules) of the book could be yoinked or adapted for another less d20-y system (like Mutants and Masterminds which I feel will consume most of my groups gaming time come summer)? Also, is there any use or mention of different ideas of divinity in the book, like really-powerful aliens as gods, or (similarly) that idea about "sufficiently advanced technology being indistinguishable from magic?" (I can't remember who it was that said that, but that guy should probly get some kind of credit for the paraphrasing above)

Hi CRGreathouse mate!

I hope you don't mean for the pdf.

Things are still subject to change.

Hey Bjorn mate!

How much of the ideas (as opposed to the rules) of the book could be yoinked or adapted for another less d20-y system (like Mutants and Masterminds which I feel will consume most of my groups gaming time come summer)?

Well from the first pdf - All the worship point stuff. Probably all the powers. The Divinity and Portfolio Templates; dependant on the campaign I suppose, I could see them working in a superhero campaign.

Also, is there any use or mention of different ideas of divinity in the book, like really-powerful aliens as gods,

Yes, although in the 4th pdf - about campaigns; cosmology and pantheons.

or (similarly) that idea about "sufficiently advanced technology being indistinguishable from magic?" (I can't remember who it was that said that, but that guy should probly get some kind of credit for the paraphrasing above)

Yes. I have a big section on using Technology (Modern and Future vs. Immortals) - and I have two physical factors 'real' and 'comic book' (the latter being consistent with d20 Modern incidently)

...oh and Arthur C. Clarke I think you are quoting.

I agree. It'll be finished when its finished. Knew I should never have said March - what the **** was I thinking.

Definately April though.

...DOH!

YOU PROMISED US! You TRICKES US!(cough)
We wants our PRECIOUS!!!

You BETTER have it by the end of APRIL! (cough, cough)

Hey U_K

I was just wondering.. From all you've read about the character creation system I'm working on, how easy would you think it is for me to port all the things you've made in the IH to my system?

I'll be getting the thing either way, I'm just thinking that I'll most likely be adapting things greatly to fit into my system.

Hey U_K

Hi Kavon mate!

I was just wondering.. From all you've read about the character creation system I'm working on, how easy would you think it is for me to port all the things you've made in the IH to my system?

Well the IH is a supplementary system; with a lot of modular components. Added to that its all balanced by yours truly so you shouldn't have any trouble.

I'll be getting the thing either way,

I appreciate the love dude!

I'm just thinking that I'll most likely be adapting things greatly to fit into my system.

Does anyone ever use anything exactly 'out of the box' (so to speak) nowadays though...?

Hey Upper_Krust!
What's new/how is everything going/do we have a release date yet?

Please?

Very much looking forward to seeing the PDF's are they are released.
