What the World needs: E6 in Book Format

[prosfilaes]

Well, that's the plot...

I'm going to take my response to another thread, so as not to clog up this one.

I love the dedication to the E6 idea but for required reading, nah.

Heh, the challenge of arguing the point

I'd go further and say it's general D&D reading that should just be done. That and the Alexandrian article on Einstein being a 4th level Expert (which I think *is* E6). As a GM I'm still enjoying throwing economic realities at my 20th level party: they have a pile of adamantine daggers, enough for millions of gp, but selling them is going to be a pain: who in a medieval world could afford a million gp pile of adamantine?! (well, I know who, but I won't say here).


I'm not sure what the point of re-publishing same old same old -type critters would be. Some samples of staples, sure, along with one "big dang monster" that can serve to scare the poopies out of characters, even if it's just CR10. Unless they're original (which would be best), why waste the space?

E6 on its own could do a very short pamphlet without having to do a big reprint. Maybe one of the pathfinder chronicles books, like the guide to Absalom, with a focus on level 6 feats. Otherwise old hands (ie: people who know about E6; let's face it) will say "ew, redundant material" and go buy, like, 4e or Gurps or something.

Is anyone working on such a book? I'd LOVE to see one in print!

Is anyone working on such a book? I'd LOVE to see one in print! E6 is the most appealing version of 3.xE D&D for me!

I don't think anyone's working on a book per se, but there was a project going on here at ENWorld to essentially make an E6 SRD type document or website. It was going along pretty good but then the guys working on it had other things come up which forced them to take a break from it. I don't know if they are back at it again or not, but I haven't seen anything about it for at least the last 6 months (maybe more).

You can try searching for it if you are an ENWorld subscriber. Just type in E6 as the keyword and set it to look at thread titles.

If you don't have the search function, you can try searching from Google, or just go through the D&D Legacy forum until you find threads about E6.
