The (new) Immortals Handbook Thread

[Anabstercorian]

It's almost May 1st! You better finish up that beastiary by the end of May or no amount of honeyed words will convince me your work habits have improved for the better, and I will forsake your empty promises.

 

[Sledge]

Yeah um so do we have any confirmation about how long this will take the editor?
My wife goes into surgery on the 12th and I'm sure we will be playing before then. I would like to be playing with some of the rules I've been reading all codified.

Ya know, I don't even think there's a book anymore and this whole thing is just a hoax.

Wow, Dyson, I didn't even know your evil was spreading over these parts! Foolish me, believing Dicefreaks could contain one such as you!

Who are you?

 

[poilbrun]

Who are you?

My nick here is the same as on Dicefreaks, but I more of a lurker there... Such as I am here, come to think of it. Anyway, my posts over there do not attract the kind of attention yours do

 

[Dyson]

Wow...even lurkers fear me. I didn;t know I affected the pansy's!. OH!

The Diceman cometh.

Coincidentally, that's my thought on the ninth chapter on the Gates of Hell.

 

[Baronovan]

Trust me, devilish, Chapter 9 is not a hoax. I just looked over Dispater and have started helping out on the finishing touches for Mammon. It's in the works. It won't be much longer.

Yeah, but at least that's the only part of their book that they're waiting on. Wanna make sure all the big boys are right. What have we gotten from IH? Definately not 8/9ths of his book. So next time you wanna compare make sure you choose two apples, not an apple and an ashtray.

Look, let's be reasonable. This book has been talked about for what, 2 or 3 years? Maybe more. It's only been that long since i've known of it's supposed existance. Let's also look at all the things to have been shown to us from UK about his book.

1) Monster builds for some more mythological characters.
2) An apendix, which all it did was leave questions unanswered and conjured up more questions to be thought of. But it did leave us with a taste of what (at the time) seemed like a very neat system. More logical.
3) Descriptions to some feats.

Now let's se what Gates has givin you.
1) Chapter one
2) Chapter two
3) Chapter three
4) Chapter four
5) Chapter five
6) Chapter six
7) Chapter seven
8) Chapter eight
9) Templates that the creator himself has put out in public before his book ever came out. So you can make your own Demogorgon and not wait for his.
10) Most of teh creatures in chaptor 9 were previously posted, all we're waiting for is the complilation and whatever tweeks have been made since. But most of the entities are already posted.
11) Didn't TAKE 3 YEARS. The templates were concieved and only later was the book idea handled. And since that birth it's only been a year. Three times the time. Maybe putting some help on his book would increase the production.
12) No secrecy.


My point is this.....for so much talk for so long. I think it's crap. I think he wanted to be thought of as a good designer around the boards, made up some junk to get us flock to him, and just periodically makes up stuff to give us the impression of 'work' being done.

It's a damned hoax.
