Well, I read a few articles, skimmed the Wyvern Coast entry , and did the "grad school skim" on the rest. I must say, very nice. The world itself is reminiscent of JG's Wilderlands in tone and feel.
I most assuredly enjoy how you are using concepts from AD&D for use in OD&D (like the expanded fighting men subclasses) without cluttering up the rule set and making it more complex.
Definitely a series I shall follow. Thank you for sharing your ceation with the OSR community.
I forgot to mention that I like the idea of the adept as a NPC class for encounter groups. Also, I can see the Psychic as filling a similar role.
The Psychic will probably remain a NPC class in my game, a new challenge for the party. This is not because I won't allow it, but rather because the player would not be interested. :( I, on the other hand, would love to play the class as presented...but then, I like Katherine Kurtz's Deryni novels. :)
Thanks everyone for the warm response! I've already noticed a few errors (no page number being the most obvious). I'll probably clean things up a bit on Monday and re-post it. I'm thinking of offering it on Lulu as a soft cover book.
Looks awesome, but before I keep reading I need to know are there spoilers? Is there a players guide to Nod? Because I live in Vegas and sure would love to play in it .. *hint, hint*. ;)
Well, it is probably best used by Referees rather than players. My own players never got too much of a guide since I wanted them to explore the world in play. I'm on a hiatus from running the game right now, though if there's enough interest maybe I'll try to schedule a game at the next NeonCon.
I'm looking forward to looking this over. A great deal of work went into this and I thank you for sharing it with us all. It looks excellent and I'm very much intrigued to see how you handled the Adept class.

ReplyDeleteI think you meant to put the year that the cover painting was painted, but forgot (on the bottom of the contents page)
