He's both an artist and a writer, although he dabbles in video stuff. I'm not sure about DA.

If that's his art, the video will send me back to my printer paper and pencils.


Which is what I use already.

@Dark Elf Bard ...

What class are you planning on playing? Also, any suggestions for Ravenfolk powers or feats? Now would be the best time.

Bard, may I see some of your work, by link or by URL spoiler? Just curious, again.

It would be highly appreciated if everyone involved were to share Magic Sword with their gamer friends. We need all the help and support we can get, especially for playtesting and raising money.

Also, the broader the fanbase, the more fun the game will be!

I just shared it with Qwertystop. I thought he might be interested in the concept.

Would you like me to send you a link to his drawing of the wizard?

So far, that is his only drawing. I'll post the drawing as soon as I find it.

If you have any questions, comments, or contributions, now would be the time to post them. In under two hours, I will leave for roughly a week, during witch time my posting rate will significantly drop or halt altogether.

@Dark Elf Bard ...

The ravenfolk is now playable up to level 5. Commence character creation.

So, I have SOME internet, but its spotty, and I'm really damn busy. I'll ckeck the thread maybe once every 1.5 days, and probably won't update the doc.

While I'm (mostly) gone, get your human and ravenfolk characters done.

Oh. I forgot. Pseudo-playtest characters get +2 to two of the core stats of their class (to compensate for no racial bonuses), and use the standard point-buy.

I actually have already seen the wizard, but I could not see it now. Good job getting 3 done. I have only done 2. Does Cronoplasm scare you as much as he scares me?

Chronoplasm has a different style, and different merits. He occupies a different space. Don't be scared by him.

Yes. I'm worried that Chainsaw will pick ALL of his. Hope fully I'll get at least one.

Dark Elf Bard will do watermark drawings, in-universe sketches, and drawings in places where I want the book to look like a dusty old tome. You will do a lot of conceptual art, monsters, and illustrations of the effects of powers. Chronoplasm will do major characters and landscapes.

I plan on basically spamming those quizzes. Expect a couple every week.

Think of it as a coffee stain on the page, but a picture. Look at the first page of each chapter in the 3.5 player's handbook. That sort of thing.

So far, the people seem to want a rough average of four races, and seven classes; as well as the Shadow and Primal power sources. They would rather race effects speed and ability scores, but it is not a moral imperative.

Is this accurate?

Wait. If I am doing monsters and such, should I continue with the characters? Is that Chronoplasm's Domain? If I shouldn't do the characters, what should I do?

(Also, I just bought a PS3. It rocks.)

No. Continue with characters. I need multiple illustrations of each, and Chronoplasm is currently occupied with the video.

(I don't understand the point of consoles. Why not WASD and mouse?)

Well, I, being an artist, have a mac. As you can imagine, that is not satisfying for gaming, and I'm not buying a specialized gaming computer and the upkeep. Just my opinion.

Fair enough. There is some GREAT art software for Windows, though. Have you every heard of MyPaint? Its a sort of open source painting and sketching program for various platforms, and its very nice.

So, Chainsaw, when I finish the characters, is that when you are going to tell me to work on those things you said earlier?

Are any more artists/writers/etc joining? How can I help alongside drawing?
