I like the cut of your jib, mister.Outsiders68 wrote:No hard feelings, just drives me and my team to deliver the perfect product for you all.
This is good news and thanks for the example. Modules and world books are nice but I almost never use them and I have literal stacks of old Judges Guild, TSR and OSR products that are still unread. I buy them in the hopes I will one day read them I guess. Something like a patron pook though I will be all over, reading as soon as I buy it. A patron generator is even more useful to me. I enjoy creating things myself and random generators help get the creative juices flowing.ragboy wrote: I'm also involved in this project, and you and I are of a mind. I've started a patron generator -- really more of an idea generator -- that gets you to patron power level, "sphere," Invoke Patron results, and availability of patron spells. The rest is left up to the imagination of the GM -- but running through a few of them, I genned some parameters in 30 seconds and had a fully fleshed out patron in just a few minutes of thinking and writing.
I've proposed this generator to the group, as you've suggested actually, as a stretch goal inclusion.
Great attitude. Of all the DCC Products this one is the one I am most anticipating.Outsiders68 wrote:No hard feelings, just drives me and my team to deliver the perfect product for you all.

Luckily, my memory is good enough that I knew that and you just imagined I suggested a toad god.Ravenheart87 wrote:There's already one in the core book...danbuter wrote:There really needs to be a giant toad/frog god/patron. Just saying.

I know there are people who claim "I write professionally and edit myself in my books but let my punctuation and grammar go to crap on message boards, because, well....who cares?"
It leaves an impression, and says something about who you are to have half-assed punctuation/grammar.
