If there are any active games out there, I'd love to hear about them. I still watch this forum.

Well I ashamed to say I figured out what my difficulty with the magic system was, It's really easy to make spells. <sigh> The tight rope spell is the transport effect it lets him move in way he couldn't without magic. There is one mechanic to cast spells so you only need to list the power source an...

I think we're on the same page then. ;-) Your Handicraft D6 > Repairs D6 works just as well. The ability/skill trees are designed to be malleable. Changes in Eldritch should not causes a "cascading" effect on rules as it often does in games like D&D. I would LOVE it if you posted your ...

Greetings! Sorry it took me so long to see this. Being a shrewd bargainer is more of a "charisma" thing. You could assign a die-rank value to it, and pay for that ranking in CPs. I think the reason the gap---between abilities like persuasion and other more specific skills-- existed was bec...

I'm going to GM Eldritch RPG for Gameday of Russian Rolecon. I think that for fast-paced play that is required for such events Eldritch works fantastically. I'm going to run the Swamp adventure , though I may add a few NPCs to it. Were there any rules changes I should know about, comparing to one o...

Joseph Goodman backs Eldritch and believes the game to be fun, otherwise I suspect it would just vanish from the site. Still, since I own all rights to Eldritch, it makes better business sense for him to forge ahead with his own labor of love, the upcoming new Dungeon Craw Classics RPG (for which I'...

14 days to go. If you pledge, and we meet our goal, the product can be layout with art in under two months. The setting is already written. Eldritch fans, for more information, see below...

The Eldritch Role-Playing game was launched in 2008, published by Goodman Games. Created by Dan Cross and Randall Petras, the game system is written for gamers who enjoy having myriad character options, exciting and diverse action scenes; all without losing a narrative focus. Adventuring campaigns a...

First off, the updated version of Eldritch looks much better Dan, congratulations! I see you liked my idea regarding movement well enough to adopt it. I'm glad the max movement per phase was removed, it makes combat much easier. So then, by default, the calculations for DPs should be: Weaponry- bas...

I'm looking forward to showing you the new material soon.

Yes, actually. It's in the book too: Spell Name: Hasten Power Source: Mystical School: Wizardry Effect: Augment Range: Area This spell speeds a creature in battle, allowing them to attack faster and more accurately. Add the result of the ability check to the target’s Reflexes (adding to effective r...

You've been running Eldritch for quite some time now, SotrmPatriarch. So, how do you feel about GMing for this system compared to others? Would you say it's your preferred? I know you play a lot of systems. Session 31- All players present. As requested, the PC names will appear before the log entry....

You're making me want to play this game! ;-) Would you be interested in playtesting Eric Bergeron's new campaign-centric edition of the game? If so, you know where to reach me, old friend. Session 30- All players present. As requested, the PC names will appear before the log entry. Knight- Hyfaidd M...

For information purposes: We used a variation of my propossed mounted combat. We assume all the mounted people made their horse combat rolls at exactly 1/2 of allowed rolls, all for knights, just base and spec for cavalry. So adding that value for lance/spear charges, or versus foot targets. It see...

Hey, ya know what, reverse what you're doing with the PC names. List the classes/races, and then use their actual names in the narrative. It will read more like a story then. I'm enjoying your updates. Session 28- All players present. As requested, the PC names will appear before the log entry. Knig...

Actually, I think another playtest group for Eric's new iteration of the Eldritch game will be a fine idea (I am the editor for the new book, he is the principle author). I'll talk to him about it. Just email me at danhcross@facebook.com to remind me. You can friend me there too. The game is evolvin...

We were discussing how blind, blind is in game numbers terms. You can still fire an arrow in the general direction of the noise and you can still swing a sword, too. What number would you subtract from everyone's rolls to account for being blind? Ah...it's in the updated PDF. Dunbruha’s Rule on Hit...

One thing I've seen little feedback on are the optional rules designed to "balance" encounters. A tough thing in Eldritch, where there is a lot of chaotic "swing" in battle. Most find the odds are stacked in favor of the PCs, but like Games of Yore, the odds can turn quickly agai...

What did you want to know about "Blinding Light"?

That sounds like it was an exciting battle! Not a Total Party Kill, but heart pounding. Are you finding it easy to balance combats in advance, or are you just "winging it?" Session 24- All players present. As requested, the PC names will appear before the log entry. Battle was pretty much ...

Thank you for the update!

Would you provide a brief summary of the names of the characters before the posts?

Thank you for the write-up! What are the character's names again?

Great news! Please let me know how it turns out. We still have great plans, and we're working on new stuff, so stay tuned.

Thanks! Tell me what you think of the adventure!
