Hi all, I don't know if any of you who might be reading this followed us when we had the Black Orifice blog on webjam, but if any of you were I am trying to locate the files we had up on the site (Etherscope stuff and the other stuff). If anyone has copies of these they could send me I would be very...

Hi folks (if anyone's still checking these forums) If anyone's interested I was at a warhammer campaign weekend at Games Workshop head office the other weekend, and there's some pictures of me online, at the warhammer world Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/?_rdr#!/media/set/?set=a.342335462452...

The trouble I would have is getting the time to make the changes. What precious time I have available for writing at the moment is spent on a new system I am creating, and the space-western-horror setting I intend to release it with. Sorry if that's a bit mean of me, but D20 feels like a long time i...

Etherscope is released only under the OGL license, whereas DarkLore was released under the D20 System license. I believe that the D20 System license was revoked shortly after 4e being launched, and so we are no onger able to sell products released under the D20 License.

Sorry, but my understanding of the licensing rules is that we're no longer able to sell anything put out under the old D20 License, and hence cannot sell you DarkLore.

cheerio,

Ben

Hi folks,

Just to let people know I will be attending UK Games Expo this year in Birmingham (UK), 5th-7th June.

Looks like it's going to be a great convention this year, so come along and look me up.

Cheerio,

Ben

RANT ALERT (Artful dodger, please note this is not a rant aimed at you) The "new system" is unofficial and is something Nigel and I are just doing for our own enjoyment. If anything its actually helping us get out some semi-official stuff for the official rules. We've already put out one ...

The first blog-post for the new system is up at our blog: http://www.webjam.com/the_black_orifice/bens_blog/$bens_blog/2009/03/09/new_etherscope_system__first_details Feel free to discuss this anywhere you like. I'll be regularly checking RPG.Net, 1km1kt, Goodmangames.com and my own blog and respond...

Hi folks, Nigel and I have begun working, unofficially, on a new system for Etherscope. I know there's been a bot of discussion on the idea here in the past and thought i'd invite teh truely dedicated "friends of Etherscope" who post and lurk here to join in and help us out. We're planning...

Nigel and I have started putting out some of the first-draft material we have stored on file on our blog. First up is a short PDF of rules tweaks and other some game material. We'll also be putting up more stuff soon on the War for Haven campaign, setting info on Haven and even a speculative alterna...

Pop on over to our new blog to read my thoughts on what we might do for the future with Etherscope: www.webjam.com/the_black_orifice

Cheerio,

In fact Nigel and I will still be producing stuff for Etherscope, amongst other stuff, on our new blog: webjam.com/the_black_orifice We're just giving up publishing and "professional" writing, not writing full stop. We've got a few bits of Etherscope stuff ready to go which we will likely ...

Just my opinion, but I don't think 4th edition D&D is the system for a continuation of Etherscope, much too combat- and miniatures- oriented, and not nearly role-playing. (Oh, I feel a side note is in order to correct something said earlier. The largest documented number of players of Dungeons ...

Sorry, I think you misunderstood me. Malladin's Gate Press was the PDF publishing company Nigel and I ran together, but Etherscope is published by Goodman Games. Whether Malladin's Gate is operational or not has no bearing on Etherscope whatsoever. It just explains why the malladin's gate forums are...

Can someone in the know give us an idea of what's going on?

Nigel and I have decided to wrap up Malladin's Gate Press. Hope that clears things up a little.

Cheerio for now,

Ben

Hi,

I've just set up a forum site for Malladin's Gate (Nigel and my PDF publishing company). Thought some people here might be interested in signing up.

Cheerio,

Ben

Sorry, Tad, I didn't reply because it's not really a question I can answer, you'll ned Joseph for that, I'm affraid.

PS Plus Nigel and I are busy writing Etehrscope books atm

Cynic :wink: Its more a case of not developing Palladiumitis and announcing vapourware. We are working on new material and discussing how/when it may be releaseable. Lots of factors have to be taken into account other than what we'd like to do ,and so prefer not to get peoples' hopes up too much bu...

So was last night a successful session? It was pretty good. We were just creating characters, but we had a nice group of four player (plus Nigel). There's one savant/program crafter, one pursuer/combatant/demon hunter and one social character (Nigel was helping create that character so I'm not sure...

Its a bit too early to say anything yet

For anyone who might be interested/able to play, I was in Fan Boy 3 for a bit last night and put up the sign up sheet and dropped off a few leaflets about the game. I'll probably be there next week for 30 mins or so from 7:30-ish and will be there for character generation on the 30th. But you can no...

A war is coming to Haven. For Etherscope fans living near Manchester this is a unique opportunity to take part in an official playtest of the first steps in the Etherscope metaplot and play with the game's designers. The year is 1986. Haven has grown to a size that rivals the Scope domains of the la...

Okay, here's how I'd do it: New cybernaughtic app: Cybernaughtic body replacement Cost: 7 (you need two major cybernaughtic app feats and the enginaught talent to get it at first level, the second feat is available to proletariat) Tolerance: 10 Minimum Con: 19 Size: n/a Effects: Your entire body has...
