I apologize if this has been cleared up already, but I figured I would ask since I can only find bits and pieces.
The rulebook gives us a sidebar that tells us the stripped down mechanics of how to build our own characters. Boxes and numbers only, though. A clear issue comes about when trying to determine powers and balancing them with the existing characters. Now, I'm a roleplayer (I also enjoy design) and so my instinct is just to muck about with creating my own powers from scratch and playtesting the crap out of them. But a few of the people I play this game with are better described as board or card gamers. There will also be some people I play with who are new-ish to games in general. They might prefer the comfort of an official system.
I read somewhere, here or at bgg I'm sure, Mr. Selinker saying in August he was going to work on some kind of character creator or creation thread here in about a month. Is that still in the works? Or did I just skip over it?
I also read that these rules weren't included in the base game because the designers wanted to see how the fans might go about creation first and to judge whether there was significant interest in doing so. Which is totally understandable. I just wondered if that data had been gathered and if any such rules were forthcoming. And if so, when.
