[QUOTE="Nisarg, post: 1705185, member: 19893"] Dustin, If any setting has earned the benefit of the doubt its Blackmoor. I hope and pray it will be done right. Maybe to assuage our fears you could tell us more about what IS in the book? Because so far we're learning about what isn't, and its not inspiring us: There isn't, from what I understand, the stats for laser swords or rifles. There isn't, from what i understand, stats for black powder weapons. There isn't, from what I understand, stats for steampunk stuff. There isn't, from what I understand, details about the Egg of Coot. If you want to get laser swords or rifles, as I understand, you'll have to wait till a sourcebook comes out and pay extra for it. If you want to get black powder weapons, you'll probably just have to use the DMG. If you want to get steampunk stuff, you'll have to wait till a sourcebook comes out and pay extra for it. If you want to know the truth about the EGG, you'll have to wait and get a sourcebook for it. So, as far as we know, the current Blackmoor main book is a 240 page tease and a 240 page ad for more books that we will be forced to buy if we want to play in the complete setting. Can you see how that would be frustrating? I hope you can answer the following: is the main book itself a complete setting?? Can I play in the EGG Of coot with it? can I play with high tech and steampunk with it alone? If not, what the hell can I do? It sounds like you're becoming frustrated with the pessimism we're showing here.. part of that pessimism is because so far you've only told us "no, sorry, that won't be in the book.. nope, neither will that.. if you want that i can just stat it out for you here, but you sure ain't going to find it in the book.. that? nope you'll have to buy another book for that.. nope, you can just use the one line entry in the DMG for that one.. sorry.." So how about instead selling us on what the book DOES have? Convince me it'll be worth my time to get it.. not with vague promises that "you'll like it, trust me".. tell me what it has that will make me like it! Nisarg [/QUOTE]
