Hey BARDStephenFox and Paragon mateys!

*sidles on in and looks around*
*notices that there is nothing new for almost a week*
*Kicks this thread back up to the first page*

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.

I always get burnt commiting to release dates, however I have made a lot of progress this week.

Unfortunately I got distracted with something else this week instead of working on the website side of things but there are still complications that end at the moment that haven't been resolved as yet (not in the website itself that is, but rather in other aspects).

I appreciate the interest guys and as soon as I have something concrete you'll be the first to know.

Howdy Krust!

Unfortunately I got distracted with something else this week instead of working on the website side of things but there are still complications that end at the moment that haven't been resolved as yet (not in the website itself that is, but rather in other aspects).

I hope the distraction isn't what I think it may be -- I enjoy other boards, but some of those guys over 'you know where' need to bring it down a couple of clicks (sorry, I had to comment). In my experience, many of the most firmly held beliefs are the least rational.

I found your contributions quite useful. I've been tinkering around a bit with the new MURPG, but have found that it didn't scale to my liking. I was able to use one of your charts to 'bring in it line' with my worldview of that universe. The only work left is coming up with a cool supra deific-mystical character idea (to shake things up a bit -- I have the outline for a character who I envision being along the lines of an IG Thanos to LT power level, but I'm trying to develop a different background and origin for him than what's prevuously been explored).

Take care in the meantime dude.

Hi historian mate!

Unfortunately yes. Wasn't impacting my work on the IH but I was spending a few hours at night, so it was encroaching upon my website time a bit.

Thats pretty much finished though so...

Well I can never resist a good debate.

Glad I could help. I have a conversion charts for how the IH parallels the likes of OD&D, Primal Order and MSHRPG on the website.

The MSHRPG one is interesting because when you couple it with the Modern weapons charts in the IH you can start using any comic book character (at any measure of power of course) and you have the option of comic books (logic-lite) physics* or brutal real world physics.

*like d20 Modern - where Orcus can take a low yield nuke.

Well of course it could be an object rather than a being.

Take care in the meantime dude.

Thanks mate.

Hi U_K,

Hey Derulbaskul mate!

Any more news?

Cheers

I'll post the first quarter (32) of the list of Divine Abilities tomorrow. Just to give you guys something to chew on. Don't want to give too much away.

I am tweaking some of the names at the moment just to get things perfect. Trust me, the abilities chapter is a complete gem. You'll love it.

Hey U_K!

Wow, 32 Divine Abilities, I'll not only chew, I'll probably choke!

Still lurking....

Well I can never resist a good debate.

Indeed -- it can be quite difficult with "fanboys" though.

SWEET! I like how your version sets forth Class 10,000, 30,000 and so forth. These distinctions become relevant at extremely high levels, even if most folks don't tread there.

The MSHRPG one is interesting because when you couple it with the Modern weapons charts in the IH you can start using any comic book character (at any measure of power of course) and you have the option of comic books (logic-lite) physics* or brutal real world physics.

*like d20 Modern - where Orcus can take a low yield nuke.

That's a cool observation, knowing my tastes I tend to like physics-lite at higher levels of power, but prefer real-world for lower levels, particularly the horror genre.

In addition to tinkering with my old MSHRPG stuff, I picked up a copy of the MURPG, a diceless sytem Marvel put out about a year ago. I'm not sure it was made available on your side of the 'pond' though.

Well of course it could be an object rather than a being.

I think you may be on to something here - but I'm still working on an origin. If I do settle on an object, I suspect it will be the type that "was just there" i.e. never created, it just was.

I'm looking forward to the first 32 DAs tomorrow.

Hiya mate!

...and hello Dark Wolf matey!

Indeed -- it can be quite difficult with "fanboys" though.

I can handle them.

SWEET! I like how your version sets forth Class 10,000, 30,000 and so forth. These distinctions become relevant at extremely high levels, even if most folks don't tread there.

Absolutely, you have to give people a definite beginning and end, can't leave them in the lurch.

That's a cool observation, knowing my tastes I tend to like physics-lite at higher levels of power, but prefer real-world for lower levels, particularly the horror genre.

Well you can use both, since you can always have high and low physical factor worlds.

In addition to tinkering with my old MSHRPG stuff, I picked up a copy of the MURPG, a diceless sytem Marvel put out about a year ago. I'm not sure it was made available on your side of the 'pond' though.

I prefer the MSH RPG which you can find here:

I think you may be on to something here - but I'm still working on an origin. If I do settle on an object, I suspect it will be the type that "was just there" i.e. never created, it just was.

There are a lot of different approaches you can take. I like the Wall of the Source in DC, thats an interesting idea.

I'm looking forward to the first 32 DAs tomorrow.

I might post one or two in full in a day or so...
