"Hoody Freaking Hoo"

I'm considering converting my post-apoc game over. It already has a fantasy vibe and I think the way I'm handling Psighted (beings with psychic potential) could be handled with the magic system. High-tech is extremely rare so I may even handle guns as magic items!

Hey Dancross,
Do we have a firm date on the mainbook or quickstart yet!

April! When do we get a glimpse of the quick start?

That sounds pretty damn cool!!!

Hey Dancross,
In any of your playtesting did you ever try a different genre. Sci-fi, western, post-apoc... Just wondering how versatile ERP could be.

Dustin

Hey, hope you are feeling better. I didn't mean to pester, I just want to see some more ERP goodness !

Hey dancross,

Things are getting quiet how about a new designers blog.

Thanks in advance,
Dustin

So if a PC was attacking the Giant Rat above would they need to inflict 4 threat [4 hitpoints] or 8 threat [4 hitpoints + 4 bite/active defense] to dispatch in a single hit? I like the fact that a typical PC won't get mowed down the first round of combat. It also seems that having the various defens...

So are scrolls "used up" after a single casting? How are magic items paid for? Does the crafter have to spend personal energy? XP? Using an energy pool system for magic items sets up some cool permutations! Perhaps having hereditary items that run off of the energy of their wielders and th...

It is mentioned in the Ad copy for ERP that there are rules for magic item creation. I was wondering what the flavor of items were. Do they give bonuses to skills/potential threat like weapons? Can they grant new "spells"? Increase die ranks? Just curious! Again, I can be patient if you pr...

So there will be little or no chance for a PC to get felled in one shot at the beginning of combat. I assume also that there are creatures who have such low active defenses that they can be taken out by a single blow.

Hey Dancross, I've been pondering the combat mechanics of ERP alot recently. I think the "layers" of defense will certainly make it easy for players and gamemasters to visualize and narrate dynamic battles. I was wondering however, if there were any critical hit style mechanics which ignor...

I can't wait to see more! Any thoughts on when we will see the quickstart?
Dustin

Sounds great! A can't wait to get this game.

Hey Dancross, So how will monster creation work? Will creatures possess levels? If so, is this how monsters are balanced vs. pcs? Will there be example monsters? Will gms have a "shopping list" of abilities to choose from when generating baddies? Are there minion/mook/popcorn rules in plac...

Thanks for the info. The system sounds pretty flexible both on a personal (character) and global (world building) scale. I really like where this is headed! My next question would be, is it more “expensive” to gain the Arcanum ability? I know you mention it was restricted ability that required train...

Please! Is there an arcane/divine split? Can Mages wear armor? Is their rule for rituals (great for the BBG) and/or item creation? Magic systems make or break a fantasy game for me, so that is the 1st place go to in a new system. Well, right after the Character Sheet anyway. :D Thanks in advance, Du...
