I'd like to hear more about that stuff, rather than everyone talking about how great the higher-level realm-control mechanics work (since that's what everyone's talking about for the most part on the blogs).

Being Alex he has a very convincing argument for why they don't make sense as a player race. Being fallible human, we all forgot to remove them from the open content we used as the basis for the starting age table. <br><br>As you say, porting in halflings from another game will be no problem, and will likely fix Alex's main complaint; your halflings will be exceptions to the rule that they don't normally risk their lives on adventures, which is what makes Frodo special.Tavishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08589149850152191198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-12893271810425470782012-02-03T08:26:39.324-05:002012-02-03T08:26:39.324-05:00Thanks for the super-fast mini-review, Tenkar! @Gr...Thanks for the super-fast mini-review, Tenkar! <br><br>@Greyhawk Knight, we recommend that everyone who's going to use it in play have ACKS in both print and PDF. If you get the $9.99 PDF first, it has a coupon for $10 off the hardback. If you get the print version at your local game store, or from our sales partners online, you always get the PDF for free through Bits and Mortar. We expect to have the books in print in time for Gary Con IV.Tavishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08589149850152191198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-18052423267594282122012-02-03T04:45:29.028-05:002012-02-03T04:45:29.028-05:00Will ACKS be available in print?Maybe using the pr...Will ACKS be available in print?<br>Maybe using the print option of RPGnow?Greyhawk Knighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06730467399899194610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-29432371672861082272012-02-02T21:55:58.508-05:002012-02-02T21:55:58.508-05:00You had me at "world creation".You had me at "world creation".mythusmagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10458869083534878283noreply@blogger.com
