Did we ever resolve the part where players make up their special abilities. Is there a supplement of our defined ones on the horizon

That would defeat the point of defining them ourselves, wouldn't it?

I am reluctant to do this because I dont want to taint a table's view about what power level their unique abilities should be. But on the other hand, there's been quite a few requests for guidance/examples in this area. So what I might do, once the setting is finished (soon), I'll put up a free doc on the site with some examples of what I would consider "low", "moderate" and "high" power abilities. Of course tables will be free to ignore this but for those who would like more guidance, it might assist.

Thanks! I have to agree with Pundit's review, thought, that the clear emphasis which the author puts on "table" consensus removes this game from being an OSR game. Anyone can use any word to mean anything they want, but when you stretch a word/concept too much it's not useful anymore. One of the key OSR concepts is GM authority. Having game-breaking powers up to table voting is certainly something you can do in your game, but it's not an OSR game. If I wanted to play games where as a GM I was constrained and the table voted on stuff, I wouldn't look for an OSR game, I'd play something else.

Naturally the GM has the final word, but yes the Unique Abilities are supposed to be developed by the players and GM together. Re OSR etc - I took what I thought worked best from the old, and the new, mashed it together, then sprinkled in a few new ideas of my own, and cooked it all on a low magic base.... The LFG pizza was the result. Is it OSR? Is it modern? I dont know. But does that even matter, as long as it's fun?

We always seem to come back to food metaphors for this, for some reason.  If what you define as "fun" (tasty on a pizza) would be anchovies, and I don't like anchovies, then yeah...kinda does matter if you tell me whether your pizza has anchovies, doesn't it?

If you have players who prefer to Explore and Discover their setting and don't want any part of Authoring any of it, then yeah, kinda of a little important, especially if you're trying to get the Brand noticeability of a definitional tag, without actually being covered under that definition.  

But, from what I've seen so far, you make it pretty clear you pull from new school and old school liberally and aren't planting a flag as OSR, or Forge, or whatever.  You're also pretty clear that that as you see it, the GM is the final authority on all rules decisions and interpretations.

So, I'd listen to people's comments without dismissing them as irrelevant, especially when they're not, but I also would defend the actual record with regard to the game.

Finally took a look - looks great, terrible title though - even "Low Fantasy, High Adventure" would have been better. Bit on the fat side, I tend to think 128 pp should be able to cover the core rules in any OSR game. Will keep reading...

Yeah not the most inspiring title I know. I primarily wanted to convey the system has a low magic base.
