Re: Magic Sword: Fourth Edition Reborn
Why do people buy PF? It's a continuation of their favorite game, with new content and improved, cleaner mechanics. Also, are we really going for commercial success? I was under the impression that labor costs was the only money contributors would get. Any extra is, well, extra.

Re: Magic Sword: Fourth Edition Reborn
Huh? I was under the impression that we were shooting for it to evolve into the 4e version of Pathfinder.

Re: Magic Sword: Fourth Edition Reborn
Each edition of D&D is like a different roleplaying game, with different flaws and merits. If they already own Fourth Edition, one might pick up Magic Sword because its hopefully better and free. If they do not own Fourth Edition, they might pick up Magic Sword in order to be able to play Fourth Edition, as the books will soon become expensive and rare.

Re: Magic Sword: Fourth Edition Reborn
Wait, free? How are you going to pay for business or labor costs? How is this going to work? Are we a professional company or an indie group? What the heck is happening?

Re: Magic Sword: Fourth Edition Reborn
We could do sort of a DDI thing were we post new material for those who donate. Money starts rolling in by the ones .

Re: Magic Sword: Fourth Edition Reborn
Alright. I still feel as though the setting is...lacking. I just feel kinda like this isn't new. I'm sorry, I just don't see much of an identity in this game.

Re: Magic Sword: Fourth Edition Reborn
Like that. Books for free, browser stuff for money.
The setting is meant to be traditional enough that nearly anything from D&D has a place in it, but new enough to have an identity. I think that was accomplished, with strong fae themes, Tolkien inspiration, Grimm-style lore, and a dash of Ravenloft.

Re: Magic Sword: Fourth Edition Reborn
Compare everything game-related to PF. Golorian wasn't very original, but it had stuff to do and places to visit. Plenty of campaigns are run there. Is it what makes PF what it is? No. Is it a ready to play setting? Yes. Soon the people will move on to their own worlds.

Re: Magic Sword: Fourth Edition Reborn
Things have quieted down a bit, and I have a bit more time.
Who here wants to play some straight-up 4e (with me as DM), and then have a brainstorming session afterwards. We could even do something of a campaign, and think of things that could be improved at the end of each session.
This could be done via Skype (text chat only) or PBP. If we did PBP, a frequent and mostly consistent posting rate would be required.

Re: Magic Sword: Fourth Edition Reborn
I'd be interested. I suggest Myth-Weavers personally. I think we should go with relatively high amounts of combat, with varied builds.

Re: Magic Sword: Fourth Edition Reborn
I'm working on a recruitment thread now. I think we should play some published adventure, so we can also examine what works and what doesn't with the writing.
No, but I'm looking for people interested in Magic Sword and game design theory.
Agreed.

We could do KotSF if we really want to grind.

Re: Magic Sword: Fourth Edition Reborn
I definitely am in. LOVE LOVE LOVE playing 4e. Don't have a Mythweavers account though.
What's KotSF?SpoilerThis is the thief who likes to hoard,
That loves the bard with the puppet Lord
That admires the fighter with the green-hilted sword,
That employs the Wizard, whose bird is ignored,
That has the gender unexplored
That intrigues the Halfling, usually bored,
That slew a mountain of the goblin horde,
That follows the cleric,
That serves the lich,
That seeks the gate,
That guards the snarl,
That lives in the prison the gods built.

Re: Magic Sword: Fourth Edition Reborn
It doesn't really matter if you've played the adventure before, so long as you're able not to metagame. I would like at least one fresh player, though.
If you're interested, please get to work on you character sheets. I'm ready when you are.

Re: Magic Sword: Fourth Edition Reborn
I know this might seem a bit early, but once we are done the Magic Sword Core Rulebook, what kind of supplements should there be.
I think ...
- Some kind of monster book, containing enough monsters to at least mostly fill a campaign.
- A book that fleshes out the setting a bit more.
- A book with more classes, and perhaps more races.
- A book of several short adventures for a variety of levels.
They do not at all need to be in that order.

Re: Magic Sword: Fourth Edition Reborn
Just found this project. I'm a little confused on your structure. Are you a group of collaborators or are you an actual indie company (i.e actually registered as a company)? Either way I'd like to help contribute to the project.

Re: Magic Sword: Fourth Edition Reborn
Okay, look: If Magic Sword is going to happen, we NEED to get the playtest done so we can raise money. I'm sorry I haven't been more present. I've been busy, and I will remain busy for a while, but we need to finish.
Everyone, please get to work. You are needed. I will do as much as I can.
