The multi matrix talent Utsukushi described is interesting and I think would be balanced. But one of the stated design goals seems to be 'easier book-keeping'. I doubt they would go for this. But as usual, could be a cool optional rule based on what the final ruling is.

I garner no enjoyment from games where PCs need to only fear death at boss encounters. As a GM I garner no enjoyment from killing a player for no narrative reason. If he was foolish or the encounter was a big deal then let the dice fall where they may. If its some thug in an alley I don't want a li...

Number of items which Weaponsmith can work on should be bigger. I think about one item taking two hours a day what allows for three-four items a day. Imagine (forging rules as written), a four persons team arrived to village and all of them wants to forge they weapon twice but there is only one Wea...

D'oh! Somehow I didn't know that was in Atlanta. Its definitely a con I've been meaning to check out. Alas, my day job doesn't allow me to take off for every convention. Sorry I'm not in your area, Slim!

Haha, tell me a good Convention and maybe I can get there with new stuff next year!

Tickets are already going quick, but if you want a hands-on chance to play with a rough cut of 4th Editio...

Fourth Edition sounds like it may cherry pick a few things from those books, but for the most part pretend they never happened. Hope ...

My group does the same thing. Over a two year campaign we have had some river combat and more than a few airship tussles. In each case the actual ships were largely narrative devices to keep the battle feeling dynamic. With a system that is supposed to be as Narrative heavy as Earthdawn, I feel like...

My personal opinion is to make it a bonus for second circle (if not first). Third is too long of a wait. Thats at LEAST five sessions of the caster unable to do much of anything. If you leave it as-is players will either have no fun playing the discipline till third, or take the option and perhaps f...
