This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

AEON - A Crunchy D100 Game
« on: December 04, 2011, 08:16:06 AM »
Work on AEON Quickstart is going as fast as it possibly can, though in all honesty I think Christmas (2011!) is going to be a tough deadline to meet. To update you on what the Qickstart edition includes: basic character generation, game mechanics, skills and combat - basically, the sort of things players might need to have on hand when sitting around the game table. AEON Quickstart will not have rules on background and previous experience, magic, creatures or treasure; what you might term as 'referee rules'. Nor will there be any interior art, although Ganbat's beautiful cover will be there in black & white.

As AEON is not an OGL game, the Quickstart rules do not represent a System Reference Document. However, a copy of the AEON Logo Licence agreement will be included in the back of the book. This is a free licence and extremely easy to use, and it should not put anyone off creating 3rd party supplements for the AEON system.

AEON Quickstart will be available in digest-size (5.5 x 8.5") PDF and POD format from the OneBookShelf websites (DriveThruRPG, RPGNow).

Oh, and keep an eye out for the updated D100II SRD v1.2, which will be up in the BRP Central Downloads section by Christmas! :P

The playtest for AEON Quickstart is beginning. This is an open playtest as the Quickstart edition will be a free-to-download PDF, so please do chip in if you like. Files will be uploaded to BRP Central and playtest comments can be posted to the dedicated thread there.

Oh, and the D100II SRD v1.2 can be downloaded from BRP Central or the Dreamscape Design Blog (link in the sig).

White Wolf hasn't hit you with a Cease & Desist yet? Aeon is taken as an rpg name.

Only if you spell it 'Trinity'. :)

But I'm beginning to think it might be worth changing the name just so I can stop explaining that ... :rolleyes:
