It would be great if you were to start on the wizard as soon as possible.

I hope you feel better. Drink tea. Tea helps. Also take baths and read books.

Nah, books don't really matter to the recovery process. Tea, which contains caffeine, isn't helpful, either. I suggest fruit juice, chicken soup and DayQuil.

...I'd offer my own 2cp on the system, but I think I lost track of what's going on. Gimme a bit for that...

Tea not only contains calcium, protein, and healthy fat if you include milk; it is good for the soul. It soothes the senses, strengthens the body, stabilizes the mind, and warms the spirit. Tea, sir, is what you need.

Books help with relaxation and improve your mood.

I got better a few days ago, and I will start on the wizard as soon as possible. Should he be more "Cultist-cthulu" feel, or more "Vaarsuvius-generic magic/bookish" feel? I await your response. Also, could you inform me if you have saved the revised dwarf?

I have indeed saved the revised dwarf. For the wizard, I was thinking more of a meddler in things man was not meant to know look.

He needs shoulder-length hair and a thin beard. Also, the book and hands don't look very natural. They would use a re-do.

Thanks. However, the Book you refer to is meant to be a cigar. Does your advice on this matter still stand?

I don't think a cigar really fits the character.

If he's addicted to anything, it will be a stimulant that allows him to stay up later studying. He's kind of a puritan who believes in the scholarship above all else.

Hi guys! I've finished the warlord and am working on the cultist and dwarf.

Chainsaw, should the female dwarf have hair, or be bald, like Gligarman's?


Either way, I'm basing mine of of his.

I would prefer it if the dwarf was bald.

So, there is this roleplaying game system called Savage Worlds. It makes use of many mechanics and concepts that bring Fourth Edition to mind, even tough it pre-dates it. I think we should kill it and take its stuff, or even use it as a spring-board to the same level we will use the D20 srd.

I'm not seeing anything about power budget from various sources anywhere in this thread or the documentation.

Is there a location where meta-design docs are? Or is your plan to just throw things against the wall and see what sticks?

(Ie, writing a system from the perspective of "here is what characters do", instead of "here is what we want characters to do", seems ridiculously hard.)

Who wants to have a 4e Skype game with many Magic Sword concepts worked in? It wouldn't be so much a playtest of Magic Sword as a playtest of some Magic Sword mechanics in a 4e context.

Also, you would get a taste of my now-improved DMing.

Firstly, I could make such an image. Secondly, has the drawing been saved?
Thirdly, yes, with the proper information of time, accounts, and etc. I could roll up a character. I will curb my munchkinism.
