not surprised...happy holidays!

Keeping the children safe I see! A good scenario to keep the holiday spirit, complete with blood and death.

Or, what of some mechanic where a player or NPC could "force" an opposed roll, rather than trying to penetrate Resilience? The opposed roll would bypass Resilience if effective, but would otherwise work exactly as described (points exceeding the opposed roll affects toughness, or the spell...

So, I do not yet put the Resilience houserules (suggested earlier in other topic) in the Eldritch wiki, as the development goes on... If most monsters use HP instead of active DPs, why don't they use Resilience even if PCs use Saves? So monster creation won't become more complex. Also, it's quite e...

I have been thinking about the game mechanic of Resilience lately. First let me say that I really like ERP. It has some great ideas, and some great strengths. Thank you! Things I don’t like about Resilience: ...The game needs “saves”. To make it compatible with previous modules from D&D, C&...

You're fired! Your punishment is to watch Dilbert animated shorts for at least one hour. www.dilbert.com

...actually, those animated shorts are hilarious.

Sounds like the game continues to run smoothly. Also, it just occurred to me...have you introduced any magic items? Do you think ERP could use a magic item and spells supplement? I think so.

Also, I'm curious,

What were the RP and VP points given (ballpark) at that session?

Poor bad guys, now they have an angry paladin/ranger looking for them.

What are the names of the characters?

...Almost all of them got to the point where all CPs was spent on concept abilities and then - "wait, I have to raise my reflexes or I'll be sluggish!". Something like that. There surely should be something that can be done to avoid that. I suppose you could split your ability selections ...

hey, just checking in. I haven't had time to respond yet, but I'm still here. Nothing is wrong with your tone, Evilcat! I always appreciate suggestions

I'll be back...

I think that annoying thing is not the obligation to buy non-tailored abilities, but the need to remember them. No matter what great abilities you imagined and plan to use - to stand out - you have to keep in mind that some points should be stored for mechanics-tied abilities. In other systems this...

The knight/cavalry occupations have mastery <horse> in their lists. There does not seem to be any effect for having this mastery. So I am proposing this idea as a possible effect: Horse type...Effects..................................max armor rider wears..(max armor of horse) Light..........Adds 2...

Thanks for the summary! No questions, eh? Looks like the sessions are going smoothly.

Now that it's released, any comments on the first mini-supplement

I checked out the skeleton and made some additions. Also, I added some stuff to the optional rules section: Eldritch Focus is described on page 46, in the sidebar of the core rules. It's a way for arcanists to "push" their magical effects through a target's Resilience without inflicting ex...

I think so. I haven't had time to play with it, but it should be open to the public to add stuff.

I don't know the license stuff well... I just remember "no copyright material" statement in previous wiki. As I understand, one can use the open content (even for commercial purposes), if the OGL and a proper list of copyright owners is included. I don't know if it's applicable to non-d20...

That concept makes sense. Adventurers have always been sort of like bands of mercenaries, even if heroes. I used the exact same idea in my adventures, and I'm sure many others did too. I bet these will be much fun!

I wonder if it's possible to craft OGL conversion documents for a non-OGL game? Why not, right? Differentiation from the D&D norm is desired, achieved by the forthcoming campaign setting material and monster articles, but I see great potential in an OGL conversion guide penned by the other frequ...

Yep, those answers are correct. Thanks!

I just realized something... Writing the "manifestation" and the "aspect" when creating spells annoys the f&^% out of me. :lol: I don't think I'll do it anymore, because those things are better described in the spell's notes, allowing for greater description and variance in i...

It seems that rules issues are nonexistent at this point in your game. I am surprised they haven't gotten beyond 2nd level is eight sessions. I'd expect they'd be third or forth by now. Maybe it's because they are, for the most part, plowing through the encounters? :?: The only complaint I have with...

Wouldn't you rather play using a virtual tabletop? Something like the one offered by rptools.net?

...and you're right, the game's method of figuring costs works well, but with the current market turmoil, it's going to create interesting results.

... but this time around it appears to require quality product, good partnerships, effective marketing, and all the other nuts-and-bolts business basics , GSL or no GSL. You sir are an entirely new class of awesome :D I just wish I'd been around during Goodman's 3.5 days as well, it seems I missed ...
