It was never published, though.Regarding advice, I'd say you should have a clear vision and stay true to it. What eventually killed my game was trying to put too many things into the game: Every kind of influence from novels, movies and other rpgs eventually turned up in some way in the game, resulting in a bloated kitchen-sink setting of half-baked ideas.So don't make that mistake. Instead concentrate on what makes your game unique and distinct from existing rpgs. E.g. my game featured two things that I very much liked and didn't in other rpgs until very recently:- 'gimmicky' monsters: Many monsters simply could not be defeated by straightforward combat. Instead, you had to find out about their weaknesses and exploit them.- 'power strike': every pc had the ability to go all-out when attacking, once per encounter (more often in higher levels), leaving them exhausted and with worse defenses afterwards.</blockquote>
