Upper Krust, where are you? [Immortal's Handbook]

[Upper_Krust]

Hi Impeesa mate!

Weee! Hm... I guess that means... *mumbles incoherently about someone living a little longer, makes hasty call to korean mafia contact*

I thought I was being shadowed!

Well with that out of the way... congratulations. Are you allowed to tell us what all's going in?

Well considering there are only 30 pages of rules in D&Dg its a safe bet all thats going in!

Also obviously the core epic rules are also making the grade, I think you could safely also include all of the first chapter (maybe not the Prestige Classes?).

I wasn't given specifics, I just hope they include the epic magic system - that will save me a world of hurt.

I heard from WotC_Ted on the boards not too long ago that D&Dg and the ELH were both on track to be added soon... no mention of how much of each though... Anyways, after all this, that book better be running off the presses the day after the update.

Well I am sure there will be one or two things I'll need to double check so I wouldn't say the day after, but I would hope within a week.

Hi Buddha mate!

Despite what gets added to the SRD, I can't wait to give the IH a once over to see what I can actually pirate idea wise for the campaign I'm starting next month.

I'm sure there will be something in there for everyone, even those not running an epic/immortal campaign.

I'll post the FAQ soon. I wonder can I use the titles Deities & Demigods/Epic Level Handbook in the FAQ...I would presume so? (maybe I should email WotC again)

My game is going to be neither an epic or an immortal game at first. I'm starting the group of at 10th level. This doesn't mean that the IH won't have something in it that I couldn't use.

Sounds like good news... and if some if my predictions were right...



Now what was I about to do... working on my monster file, yeah... what? What PR conversions? Oh, that thing, yes, I remember...

Hi Buddha mate!

apologies for the slow response I have become embroiled in an argument on CR/EL with Andy Collins (of WotC) over on his message boards.

My game is going to be neither an epic or an immortal game at first. I'm starting the group of at 10th level. This doesn't mean that the IH won't have something in it that I couldn't use.

The first chapter certainly has a lot of material on religion; clerics; worshippers and so forth in the first section that is useful at any level.

Portions of the Divinity chapter will also be useful; for determining things like divine progeny; proxies and avatars; all applicable at non-epic levels.

Elements of the Portfolios chapter are also specifically targeted at worshippers, and as such by extension those who encounter worshippers/clergy.

On the surface the Powers chapter may not have much for non-immortals; however there is always the thing about mortals gaining Salient Divine Abilities...but I probably shouldn't talk about that.

Hi Knight Otu mate!

Gluckliches Neues Jahr mein Freund...I think?

Sounds like good news... and if some if my predictions were right...

What predictions...remember my short term memory is terrible.

Now what was I about to do... working on my monster file, yeah... what? What PR conversions? Oh, that thing, yes, I remember...

Monster File you say...?

PR Conversions...?

I fear I have been away too long.

 

[Knight Otu]

Hi, Upper_Krust!

Gluckliches Neues Jahr mein Freund...I think?

Almost, but I think you may have trouble typing üs on an english keyboard.

What predictions...remember my short term memory is terrible.

The prediction that these two books enter the SRD early 2003.

Monster File you say...?

I've been rather active on the CC boards, and I compile my creations (also unposted ones) for possible future use, if you know what I mean.

PR Conversions...?

My Perry Rhodan conversions. You might remember them.

I was just glad I didn't accidentally type happy easter or something.

It was indeed prophetic...if only you could have warned me a year ago.

Excellent. I'm sure Scott appreciates all the activity.

My Perry Rhodan conversions. You might remember them.

That just goes to show how bad my memory is.

HALUTANS RULE!

I reckon the Perry Rhodan would make a great d20 setting, though to stand out you would perhaps need to make some changes to the d20 system (in the sort of way Star Wars deviates from the core rules...only different - if you know what I mean?) Personally I would love to have a stab at revising the core rules.

I'm not that good yet. Maybe I should continue my Vorlon training.

Excellent. I'm sure Scott appreciates all the activity.

Possibly. Of course, I would appreciate if he or another member of the crew would make a few more comments.

I personally agree, but of course it is not on me to decide that matter. Of course, with D20 Modern, a possible foundation has been laid, though some things would need adjustment, especially psionics.

Keep at it you never know!

Don't be too hard on Scott, hes a great guy and I know he works his socks off.

To be fair I wasn't totally happy with d20 Modern. To me it seemed like D&D Modern (rather than d20 modern). I would have rather they kept the fantasy elements seperate rather than intrinsic. Though I know some people prefer it like that.

Regarding Perry Rhodan, I wonder if someone gave them a good enough proposal would they be interested in allowing the official name to be used for a d20 setting book...? Food for thought eh mate!?
