Magic Sword: Fourth Edition Reborn

[Chainsaw Hobbit]

My third point is what I've noticed fans of DnD are getting into a rut about, so something should be done. Also, may I have a description of Playtest Art?

Please ask Daemonhawk what he wants you to draw, as he is the primary author of the playtest adventure.

The powers structure is not hard to justify with non-martial characters. With martial characters, powers that have longer recharge time are more draining and hard to pull off, and circumstances do not always favour them.

[Gligarman2]

Would you kindly write that in? Daemonhawk? What do thy command for art?

PS: Mr. Akins? You know how there is a 4e power that let's you shoot seven guys in the head once a day? Can you have a consistent answer for why the plater can't shoot one guy in the head many times? Could you make the powers more flexible?

[Daemonhawk]

Would you kindly write that in? Daemonhawk? What do thy command for art?

I, your ever loving and kind dictator command thee to draw a scene of thee gravesite, a map of Mistspire, which you shall refer to Sir Chainsaw Hobbit for, and iconic characters. That is what I most immediately need, and I shall instruct you further if I shall need more.
You may work. Now.

[Chainsaw Hobbit]

I'm constructing the IndieGoGo campaign right now, in anticipation for working PayPal. I can do everything but the video.

Once it is launched (which will be as soon as the playtest is ready), I ask you to donate all you are comfortable with. This project is a true labour of love, meant to bring dice-slinging fun to thousands of tabletops around the world.

Rewards will include custom-written Magic Sword adventures for your home campaign, advance copies of the game itself, hard copies of the game (very few of which will be printed), and your name in the credits.

[Waargh!]

Without reading the whole thread, I might be able to offer my services on game mechanics. If needed just IM me.

[Gligarman2]

Cabo0se would like to know what to draw, Daemonhawk. Also, Mr. Akins? You know how there is a 4e power that let's you shoot seven guys in the head once a day? Can you have a consistent answer for why the plater can't shoot one guy in the head many times? Could you make the powers more flexible?

Perhaps after shooting seven people in the head, the gentleman in question is tired?

Daemonhawk is currently in charge of what people draw.

[Gligarman2]

What? I'm just saying that I would like to have the powers be flexible and highly mutable, if possible. But seriously, thanks. I love this job, I love the project, and I think that all you guys are awesome.

[Chainsaw Hobbit]

Do you think $5,000 is a reasonable minimum to raise?

[Dark Elf Bard]

Maybe 4,000. If we do 5,000, we need more publicity. But that's just me.

[Daemonhawk]

$5,000USD is a reasonable amount. I would recommend having this get more publicity, though.

This is most likely a VERY stupid question, but what is the money for, anyways?

4-6K, but invest it into a consistent method of revenue.

To hire professional editors, writers, and artists; to pay our existing writers and artists; and to publish hard copies of the core book.

[Chainsaw Hobbit]

We desperately need a video for the IndieGoGo campaign. If anyone is willing to make one, I implore them to do so.

Basically, they would need to describe the project on screen.

[Gligarman2]

I, your ever loving and kind dictator command thee to draw a scene of thee gravesite, a map of Mistspire, which you shall refer to Sir Chainsaw Hobbit for, and iconic characters. That is what I most immediately need, and I shall instruct you further if I shall need more.

What gravesite? What does Mistspire look like? I can't draw maps! Am I drawing Mr. Akins' (Hobbit's) Iconic Characters?

[Chainsaw Hobbit]

If there are adventurers in the dungeon, I would like them to be the iconics.

I shall describe Mistspire when it comes time to draw it. Its a bit of an undertaking, the city currently being the most detailed aspect of the setting by far.

[Gligarman2]

So keep drawing the iconics?

[Chainsaw Hobbit]

Gligarman2, could you make some kind of promotional video?

I could even write a script.

[Gligarman2]

I have good news, bad news, and bad news.

BN1: I can't make movies in any kind of professional manner.
GN: I have a friend who is as dedicated to video-making and SFX as I am to art.
BN2: He may be busy due to all the requests for videos. If he is, can't Cronoplasm do it? If Ch. can't, my friend would be more likely to do it with a script.

Note: I will keep on the Occultist.

Chronoplasm seems to have disappeared.

I would love to talk to your friend. Can I have his email address or Skype name or something?

[Gligarman2]

I'll call and see if he'll get you a phone number.

[Chainsaw Hobbit]

I'll call and see if he'll get you a phone number.

I would rather talk to him via text. Can I have his email instead?

[Gligarman2]

Is there a reason you'd rather speak in text? I don't even know if he's got an email.

[Chainsaw Hobbit]

I'm somewhat shy. Does he have Skype? Or any forum accounts?

[Gligarman2]

I'll see about that.

[Daemonhawk]

Uhm, I can't get paid via Internet, so, is there another way to go about it?
If not, I don't need to be paid.

[Chainsaw Hobbit]

If not, I don't need to be paid.

Could you get a PayPal account or something?

If not, I'm sure we could figure something out, provided we raise enough money.

[Dark Elf Bard]

Have we decided on a company name yet?

[Chainsaw Hobbit]

I'm really liking D&D Fifth Edition so far, my only complaint being the fact that it will probably not be published in PDF format. I plan to play it along with Magic Sword.

What do you guys think?
