Thanks man.

Sci-fi stuff was the big thing I thought was (very stupidly) missing from the DCC rules.

Of course in my own campaign I've fixed that, in a big way.

Quote from: Brad;709388Does anyone else think all these retroclone/OSR games are becoming nothing more than, "Hey, buy my house rules for D&D"?

Actually, I'd say they are staying more: "Hey, buy my whole game with its own brand name."

Labyrinth Lord and OSRIC seemed to me to provide enough cover for publishers who wanted to offer new material for use with old rules sets. Prefer Swords & Wizardy? Fine! A growing sprawl of retro-brands, though, seems to undermine the benefit. It also means more of much of a sameness to wade through before you can fish out the gems buried in it.

Want to share your house rules with me? Cut to the chase and give me something like the OD&D Supplements or Arduin Grimoires. I'm personally a lot more interested in new monsters, spells, magic items, tricks & traps, bits of color, and scenarios, than I am in yet more "mechanical" hacks.

Shit, we've had 40 years of variants, amounting to a few thousand different rules sets. How many people who actually play are really still unable to find a decent basic game system? How many more iterations of treatments of the same old stuff can actually offer something even remotely new under the gaming sun?

I couldn't pass up the $20 incl shipping for the hardback.  Curse you RPGSite!

I look forward to receiving the book!

Cheers

OK, I joined the bandwagon and ordered a hardback of this for myself, as well as a copy of Raedwald for Heroes & Other Worlds as a Christmas present.

You got me here as well, just ordered my copy. The Weird fantasy and Sword & Planet classes just look very good and the take on religious classes seems very interesting as well.

And I like the level of crunch, it really looks like a cool toolbox.

Again, if the author is reading this, I'm interested in doing a review for my thousands of blog and forum and G+ readers...  Check out the

Ah! Incredible! I wasn't aware of this thread! (Someone told me at DF, and I came and now will respond.)

So, first of all, I would be GLAD to have a review, thanks a lot for the proposal. (Especially if at some point the review could be posted on Amazon too, when the V.1.3 is released on Amazon).

Now, let me read the thread and answer some questions I could find.

Quote from: LibraryLass;710151I just think it's a pretty mercenary way of incentivizing it. Tip of the hat for deviousness.

Years of game-mastering has developed my deviousness. (In fact I am renown for being a devious GM...)

By the way, some people out there, found a way of turning around the two-pages layout and make it a one page layout...

Quote from: Phillip;717784How many more iterations of treatments of the same old stuff can actually offer something even remotely new under the gaming sun?

Well, I would like to point out that I am not trying to produce a new game. It's the same game, but reworked from the various editions I played and ran over the years, putting together what I like the most. As such, the idea behind FH&W is that if you know the other editions, you just already know how to run this iteration of the game. Simply, this book gives you more of everything (classes, spells, ray-guns, etc., to choose from). For example, coming from my years of GMing, I had a need for rules about PCs who try to put a dagger on a NPC's throat to coerce him. If not, they want to just declare doing it (with maybe agreeing to a surprise roll), then, when the blade is there, automatically slay the NPC if they decide so. Now there is a rule to keep things under control and avoid useless player/GM arguments...

Anyway, just so you know: the lulu sales are currently on hold. After doing two initial proof-readings, I was ashamed to find even more typos and errors on the books sold. So, we are at version 1.2, but it needs another proof-reading (which is slowly done with the help of a benevolent buyer of the book), and sales will be resumed with version 1.3. Thanks for your understanding. (Of course an errata will be put for download.)

Blarg...so do I need to order copy #3 to get the latest and greatest?

Quote from: Brad;720570Blarg...so do I need to order copy #3 to get the latest and greatest?

I think it is just typos.

This is my new DnD. I love it.

According to USPS's tracking, mine should be getting delivered today:)  Treated myself for Christmas this book and a few rpgs from Precis Intermedia.
