Being from the Silicon Valley and I always leery of Feature Creep.<br /><br />I also think it would nice to give players a taste of the various types of material available these days - "Adventures, sandbox, Hex, etc".<br /><br />I was hoping for a sanity check and it seems to have passed .... this time ;)ch\/\/olfganghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06604371392964649395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-68138990935663309022016-07-03T13:36:46.675-04:002016-07-03T13:36:46.675-04:00All anyone will need is the 4 page ruleset.
The a...All anyone will need is the 4 page ruleset.<br /><br />The adventure will be very useful for a new or lapsed GM but certainly isnt needed.<br /><br />Deadly Machinations would consist mostly of tables for mundane items, tables for magic items and some sample encounter tables. Throw in some DM advice depending on space. Totally optional.<br /><br />Sandbox setting - optional but useful. Will include hooks and locations.<br /><br />Extra Light - For those that don't want to move on from the Light Rules - so optional it's not even funny.<br /><br />Supporting a ruelset, even a 4 page one, is important I think for it to be a viable option.Tenkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05159289652051155824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-33467509138611110282016-07-03T12:28:01.147-04:002016-07-03T12:28:01.147-04:00Ruleset, adventure, sandbox.

That of bringing people (back) into RPGs. A safe, easy stepping stone leading to other, grander adventures. <br /><br />To me, it is starting to feel like the creation of YAOSRG (Yet Another OSR Game).<br /><br />I don't want to be negative, but rather cautionary that the original idea is kept to. Or, perhaps, the vision needs to be changed/updated. These things do happen during development - just be aware of it.<br /><br />My $.02. Please take this as meant - a comment and conversation.<br /><br />\/\/olfgangch\/\/olfganghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06604371392964649395noreply@blogger.com
