The (new) Immortals Handbook Thread

Hey there thundershot!

*wanders into this note with his hands in his pockets*

HOLY MOTHER OF HEIRONEOUS! I want this book. In print. Yesterday. I love your previews, UK, and... I would hate to wait until the end of the year before a possible print version comes out... but... Wow. Compiled, this sounds like a truly worthy book to add to my collection.

I appreciate the interest. I'll be updating the website tomorrow with the latest news and some other stuff.

I'm trying to get everything done as fast as I can without compromising the quality.

It is in your best interest to compromise quality slightly if it will allow you to finish and sell your product by the end of June.

Quality is so subjective anyway. Some might really dislike the book no matter what you do.

Hey guys!

I know dude - don't worry.

By the way that site update will have to wait until tomorrow, things seemed to get away from me today. I have the CRs for the monsters all but ready to add to the site, and a new review (The Book of Immortals no less), and an addition to the the personal stuff - specifically my favourite movies (which has been 90% finished for a while now, so it wasn't something I took time out to do).

Quality is so subjective anyway. Some might really dislike the book no matter what you do.

Mistakes are not subjective.

As for the content, I suppose I am my own worst critic in that regard.

My deadline is for the WHOLE bestiary, if you recall, not the preview. You may want to hurry.

Hey all!

Interesting point to note, I was toying with the magic system last night and realised something I had previously missed. A flaw with a certain facet of all ultra high level spellcasting (epic spellcasting and even my own system*).

*until I corrected it of course.

I won't say exactly what it is just yet, but I think it has some exciting repercussions for epic games.

...including being able to destroy a planet (Earth sized) with one spell before 100th-level (although admittedly thats a totally min-maxed caster).

I still have to run tests, which won't happen in the short term since I am concentrating on the bestiary, but it should be interesting to see how it all pans out.

I'm curious what peoples thoughts are on the prospect of really high collateral damage.

Personally I think it makes epic ideas like the Rain of Colourless Fire and the Invoked Devastation plausible without having to make the spellcasters involved 1000th-level +.

For the love of god, man - you're going to keep seeing things to improve and add until you die of old age. Finish what you have and save the rest for the Revised & Expanded Immortals Handbook.

Hey Impeesa mate!

I only realised the spellcasting thing at about midnight last night. I spent an hour examining it and my initial impressions are that its feasible.

Though I agree with you that I sometimes...okay all the time...seem to keep tweaking stuff. But what I am saying is that it didn't really eat into my time spent working on the Bestiary...this time at least.
