Notice they want to get Cavalier and Oracle out first. Personally I'd think that the Alchemist and Summoner might be tricky enough that they'd want to start the playtest on those right away.

We're going with Cavalier and Oracle first because when design began, those were the two who were going to have their sketches done first. As it worked out, Wayne got us all six sketches in, but by that point the Cavalier and Oracle were already mostly done.

So... the schedule has little to do with "which ones need the most work" and everything to do with "which ones can we illustrate first."

HOPEFULLY... we'll have an announcement about the Playtests for this book next week sometime on the blog.

Thank you soo much for entertaining this rather silly request for as long as you do.

So any news on the PDF, cause I am dying to playtest the summoner class.

Just got the book, and was wondering if anyone could help me figure out the Character creation, actually the basics of the gurp system? I am such a hands on learn by playing. I mostly get books for the cool pics and ideas.

Where is the PDF?

thank you all so much i feel like i have gottena lot of help i truly appreciate it. Now i may be able to venture forth with gusto.

45 minutes for a good game? i used to live in plentywood montana, we had to drive an hour for groceries and 300 miles for a kmart back in the day.

if your moving further west, and if you are within 100 miles of something you like, then you are doing well. there are great games in omaha. i am in lincoln now.

you may want to do a really good recon of the area, it very well may be to quaint. i know somebody from sioux city, nebraska. that is just across the boarder, and he is a gamer. he may know some gamers up there.

OK I am just saying I will drive up to an hour for a good Game!

Yep. It's pronounced Wes-triver for those accentually challenged.

Souix Falls is on the far right of S.D., Box Elder is on the far left about a 4 - 5 hour drive.
I'm right on the edge of the Black Hills, way out in the boondocks.

Those would be several hours from Sioux Falls. Myself, I'm in south central South Dakota. Several hours myself.

Box Elder (Rapid City), sorry.

There is a chance I will be leaving my Chicagoland Group, and moving to Sioux Falls South Dakota, before the new house or the new job. I have an important question. Is anyone in Sioux Falls playing PFRPG, and if so can I play maybe? I am pretty sure that if I do move I will need some RPG group therapy. So contact me at blakewcraig@gmail.com. I am also available to play Star Wars RPG, or Mouseguard Rpg

Hi, I live in Chicagoland, and would like to play Mouse Guard even it is only one time I would like to play. If anyone is interested, please feel free to contact me at blakewcraig@gmail.com

Interesting that A.S.P. choose to go with Burning wheel , especially after the utter brilience that is artesia.

I read Mouse Guard. Didn't know there was a game. Link?

The company doint the distribution IMO is a little weak. I however support them in this endeavor. Mouse Guard is a Rocking book, and the concept is truly sweet for it to be an rpg.

Is it any good, i reald mouseguard so i am kind of interested to know.

Just checking if anyone outther is playing or interested in the mouse gaurd game. I had some questions and clarifications...

Thank you all for your input these ideas Rock. Tell me does this sound medieval super hero enough?

You live in a world that is under siege, there are no heroes, there is no hope. The nation is controlled by an Evil King and his flunkies who have the people of the land under there thumb. When you come of age you are approached, by a bizarre merchant whom by some means has become very rich. He tells you of an idea that he has to hand pick some heroes to fight against the evil king and his minions, and the best part is you are one of them. He tells you that he will do what he can to support you monetarily, and make you even as you are just starting out capable of saving the day. It will take many battles to get to the king, but in time you and your companions will become powerful enough to defeat him, and make the word a better place.

Ok so I have this idea for a campaign.I wantto make the PC's deal with and face heroic situations that are common place in comic books. So if usually a group fights off Goblins, and loots the corpses. In a Super-heroic campaign They are fighting off Goblins that are attacking their City of origin, while wearing matching tabards, and only barely saving an important NPC from certain Death. Then When they save the day the villagers celebrate their triumph, and award them with fame and fortune.

THOUGHTS?

My real big issue is that as a DM I tend to be Loosey Goosey with the rules, and the players i will be DM'ing for now them front and back. It is my first time Dm'ing for themin Five years that we have been playing together, and i am incredibly nervous.

Thoughts?

I got a used PS2, thank you all for your help.

looking for players for a new start up thursday night game in chicago or the suburbs we can find a central location if necessary.

Yes.

Yay! Bubbles to pop! Starts sharpening his stick

Seriously, anybody ever driven up and down South Padre beaches when they were covered with man-o-wars, running over them and making them go pop - pop - pop! The most amazing sound! Cuz, I...no, I just wondered if anybody else had...cuz I'd never...

I to am trying to get a new game started on Thursday nights in the city or in schaumburg Starting in Janauary. Contact me at blakewcraig(at)gmail.com

just want your opinions?

Isn't that what a Flumph is?

Yeah but flumphs can fly and like salt, not salt water. I was thinking a disgusting highly-intellegent Portugese Man-O-War jellyfish with a NE outlook and a rasher of offensive arcane spells that casts Watery air on itself and mounts its trusty Giant Dire Poisonclaw Spidercrab to indulge in a little payback on Timmy the peasant boy who ran along the beach and jabbed sharp sticks into its children who washed ashore at high tide.

Joelf, can I have a Pengwolf for Christmas?

I just checked the dungeon; we're all out. Sorry :( Can I interest you in a nice goosepoodle?

You know what a great show for mix and match animals is Avatar the last airbender. I think their Badgerfrog, and their Mole badger are super cool..

How about the protien polymorph? You know it's good to eat, cause it's high in protien!

So yeah I don't know if anyone else has mentioned cause I haven't got the gumption to read 14 pages+ of threads, but Has anyone thought Of cryptids as a great source for creatures.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cryptids

I understand many are the source, but some of them could be really cool with tweaking...?

Ive always had this issue with lich and vampires. How is it that the lich is considered the ultimate undead and usually in control of a few vampires.. Yet its the vampires who run around with near flawless looks and undying bodies while the lich is doomed to continue decaying and eventually become immobile pile of (very powerful) bones?

I know they come from separate fantasy traditions, but I think its about time to make them more consistent when compared to each other. maybe trade the vampires feral good looks with the lich's decaying flawed body. Vampires require blood to sustain themselves but the lich does not. Therefore it makes sense for the vampires to have the comparatively imperfect bodies.

Dragons do rock...Greens are my fave.

I am currently backing the Rust Monster Ticket, but i will take your advice...

Ewoks, I want there to be Ewoks.

OK so I was looking at the SRD, and WOTC took ALmost all the good ones! I am not even sure I can find a new one to support.

but seriously what monsters are part of the OGL?

Wait to see the new Pathfinder Bestiary. I bet we get some new favorites outta Paizo, even if they're old ones shined up.

Well WOC seemed to really love them they didnt put them in the OGL so they are only theres

I am completely and totally Pro Umber Hulk. I think for too long this quality monster has not been given it's Kudos (not the delicious snack). If you agree say so, If you disagree make me believe your argument.

My entry was sent in earlier.

Now to start brainstorming my villain.

Hope everyone has a good holiday season. I'll be hanging out watching the mad rush towards the January deadline date...that is when I'm not outside shovelling snow :P

Hi, I'm Lee Garvin, the author of the aforementioned Noble Wild. I'm really glad that someone was asking about this subject, because it's the whole reason I wrote the book.

Talking animals have been a part of fantasy fiction since there's been fantasy fiction. So I figured there ought to be a way to represent it in games. I'm really happy with the way it turned out, and I hope other folks will find new and fun ways to spice up their campaigns with it.

Just as an example, in one of my playtest campaigns, we had an owl wizard with an elf familiar, a rhino cleric, a tiger paladin, and a rabbit bard. And no, these are NOT anthropomorphics, but real, honest-to-goodness animals.

If anyone has any questions - please, post them, either here, or on Skirmisher Publishing's forum http://skirmisher.com/forum/index.php?board=28.0

Keep it Wild,

Lee

If you like Animorphic games you could try this: Kevin & Kell Role Playing Game

Not to mention I commute 3-4 hrs a day so i do a lot of Listening to books in the car, and always fantasy so. My Whims may change, next month i may be campaigning hard for my group to allow PCS who are the children of greek gods, ad goto a camp called camp HAlf Blood...I am really looking for the Talking animal stuff though for a game i am running in January for M.S.(4th-8th)kids. SO keepit coming if you have ideas or product suggestions.

I also DM-ed a villain once, who was a talking badger rogue. I called him King Badger and he was a crimelord who used animals to spy in the city. He intrigued the PCs to no end, especially when he began to infiltrate the group via familiars, animal friends and pets.
