Quote from: Silverlion;287978Well if you do the dungeon crawl/hero team thing right, I'd be glad for it! Sometimes that's all me and my players want is to throw some dice, descend into dungeons, and whack the monsters.

The game's design focus is "killing things and taking their stuff." But it has adopted MMORPG concepts, such as:

Special areas (dungeons): "instances" as they are called in WoW, where monsters (opponents) are tougher than usual and the rewards are better. "Dungeons" can be anything from temple complexes, bandit camps, classic castle ruins, to whatever the GM wants.

PC teams: again like MMORPGs, the players are encouraged to put together well-balanced teams (with armored warriors taking to the front line and absorbing the shock of combat; quick melee, ranged melee, and offensive casters peeling health off of foes; and healers keeping everyone alive).

There are other MMORPG concepts built into the game, which will become apparent as you read through the text.

Hey guys, if you can PM me an email address to send the PDF too that would be great. Remember, this is an alpha document. Of course, suggestions and input would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know how to convert a Word doc. into a PDF. This is holding up the release of the alpha (version 1) document. I have to reset all the type into InDesign.

There are various free pdf virtual printers out there. You should look around. I think Open Office comes with one, if I'm not mistaken. I use Adobe for everything, so I'm not sure.

I just want to make sure the spam filter did not get your email. Did you send it?

No, sorry, I haven't. I will do so today.


...and sent...

I sent it through my better half's yahoo address, so your filter might intercept. The title of the mail is Game "X".

Thank you, thank you, thank you...and (with respect to posting it up) sure, why not?

Sorry. They apparently have the limit on PDFs set to 19K...19K....

Quote from: HinterWelt;291141Sorry. They apparently have the limit on PDFs set to 19K...19K....

Ah, now worries Bill.

19K! Wow! That's...pretty small.

I am incorporating some changes into the text that came about through game play. Bill has the original doc. I am sending the revised edition (a few small revisions only) out to those who asked for it. I still need some email addresses though.
