People fear change. They may not admit it, but that's really all it is. Change makes people uncomfortable. Gamers get cozy with one game system, or the way some game mechanics work, and as soon as you try to discuss altering the game or the rules, they start getting defensive. No matter what you do...

All the rest of them are standard size and hardback and full color... L5r 4th edition, Star Wars EotE, HackMaster 5e, Primeval, Serenity, Firefly (GenCon release is softback), Tenra Bansho Zero (larger digest full color, 656 pages, $70), Werewolf 20A (Print on Demand premium color edition $90, 500 ...

To answer the question, since I guess it could have been a touch clearer: The hardcover edition is *only* available via the Kickstarter. We will be doing a run of enough hardcover books to fulfill the pledges (plus perhaps a handful of extras). If you don't get the hardcover through the KS, odds ar...

The raise mechanic is sort of already present in the current system by use of the varying successes. The main difference being that it does not have to be declared beforehand by the player, and they are not punished with total failure for the action on a roll that would have succeeded normally. As ...

Oh all this does bring up a question I hadn't thought of before... When this KS is over and Earthdawn goes public, what will the main release version be like? Will it be softback or hardback? I had been under the impression that it would be the hardback version because, well, more and more people li...

Who says people fear change? I love change and embrace change and in reality change is the only constant... however I love this change in a game when it Makes Sense. :!: I would be fully on board if the designers wanted to change the entire dice system from the ground up, up to and including a possi...

I have a serious question now... As a Browncoat and fan of a very particular tv show and movie that is ten plus years old I was wondering what part of Earthdawn would translate well to running a Firefly style of campaign? :D If we were to somehow apply the Earthdawn world to the character's of Firef...

Does anybody know how big the two core books are going to be approximately? Would the developers be able to give us a ball park figure please? Mataxas said in another thread, approximately 350 pages for the digest size books; anything beyond 400 would be bad for the binding. I assume they either sh...

Honestly I wouldn't have a clue without being able to truly playtest it. That's the only real way to determine if the changes you are proposing would work well or not. First gut reaction is to keep DR/UR as it is especially if Durability is no longer its own Talent, so if Durability is Circle based ...

We're looking at a (roughly) 350-page target per book. At digest size? If its digest size than a 350 page black and white book for $50 is seriously overpriced when compared to many of the other books of the same size when Fate Core at 300 is only $25 and even Burning Wheel Gold is 600 pages at $25....
