Let's see how that ignore button works.
Edit: Cant see shit now, it sure looks peaceful in here.

Quote from: HappyDaze;1092216Is there some history with this poster's products that I should be aware of?

Apart from them being universally panned by everyone except a handful of DriveThru reviewers sharing Felix's passion for poor grammar?
No, they're perfectly fine.
Since he's welcoming shit linking, here's a link to an actual review by an actual reviewer, with hilarious rebuke: https://www.rpgpub.com/threads/knights-legends-tabletop-rpg-from-a-hobby-into-a-best-seller.2790/

Hilarious indeed. What's more hilarious than this? adding you to the ignore list too!

Go for it.

Oh, yeah, HappyDaze:  I forgot a couple of awesome bits.

First, his "main" reddit account, EquisDigitalStudio has been suspended from reddit due to the amount of spamming he was doing.  Not blocked from a sub-reddit, fully suspended from the entire reddit service.

Second, and he's since deleted the reddit account used, but, he posted on r/gaming, with an alt account, pretending to be someone who "just discovered" his game:

https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/85fjsi/found_this_on_the_web_its_an_interesting_game/

He was outed in another post, can't readily find that link.

"Bizarro @zweihander" is a good one, I gotta admit.

ETA:  THANK YOU for that link.  Good stuff.

Where is that one brave soul here who actually bought the game? Maybe he can come and tell us about it, because Felix sure won't.

PAGING CHUNKTHULHU.

Please come tell us about Felix's #sword-ream.  If this thing is going to replace D&D some day, I gotta know!

Thanks. I've seen enough. I'm done here.

That classic move... Pretending you don't know each other. Love it! Looking forward to see your staged reviews in a couple months. Meanwhile thanks for the publicity, as a startup, you're really bringing me a lot of views everywhere and I appreciate it.

Hello folks,
Just a reminder, the publisher newsletter, goes out on the first of each month.
Subscribe for publisher updates at DTRPG to receive exclusive updates and offers!
I'll be posting more about NH, and all the new stuff that's coming shortly.

This weekend I'll be going over the process of building a custom actor, the equivalent to a playable character, or PC.
Basically, these are the first steps, to build each player's CA. Perhaps by then, I'll also get into how the family tree system will work.
In the book there's a comprehensive tutorial which will walk you through this process.

The commitment to quality has already started. Stay tuned for New Horizon! Q1 2020 | I'm striving to deliver the best tabletop RPG you've ever played. Thank you for your continuous support, this wouldn't have been possible without each one of you!

Following down the left column, past the self explanatory basic CA info, comes the class and occupation blanks.

Classes: Paladin, Warrior, Samurai, Shinobi, Mage, Templar, Shaman, Dark Knight, Warlock, Hunter, Ranger, Marksman.

Lv.1 classes: Warrior, Shaman, Hunter.
Lv.2 classes: Templar, Samurai, Mage, Ranger.
Lv.3 classes: Paladin, Warlock, Shinobi, Dark Knight, Marksman.

Players won't be forced to upgrade to any class, but by doing so, they won't be able to enjoy exclusive benefits the classes grant them.

The level system offers stat increases of its own. More about how the level system will work remains to be seen at this moment.

Occupation & w/ K$
Everyone needs a job, since the very beginning of our existence. W/ K$, stands for weekly Kescs, the game's currency.
Jobs: Wench, Bartender, Farmer, Blacksmith, Tailor, Carpenter, Mason, Watch, Tailor, Councilman.

Lv.1 jobs: Wench, Bartender, Farmer.
Lv.2 jobs: Carpenter, Mason, Watch.
Lv.3 jobs: Blacksmith, Tailor, Councilman.

Jobs are a important part of the LGS2 system, why? While you step away, your character will be performing their regular duties, which will grant you some $K when you come back to the table. But also giving your CA, particular benefits that can be exploited during certain scenarios. You can do whatever you want with the earning. finetuning and weekly rates, are currently being elaborated.

Players won't be forced to upgrade to any job, but by doing so, they won't be able to enjoy exclusive benefits the jobs grant them.

Weapons & Armor
There will be a variety of weapons and armor, each with its own stats.

•    The type of armor you wear, will influence your sneaking success rate.
•    A Custom Actor, with a sword and shield equipped, will be able to take advantage of the new parry & counter maneuver.

Buffs & Ailments
They are basic stat mods that can last for a short period of time, or long term. Could be triggered by a spell, wound, disease, etc...

The Base Stats
Every new character will start with their base stats locked at 5. Classes will provide attribute points that can then be allotted to the specific stat of your choice.

Levels will also provide general stats increase. Although I'm still debating if the HP should be influenced by levels or not.

Will continue sometime later this week, until then...

Here's the follow-up for this week of development,

I've done some edits to the occupations system, making it more unisex, new jobs were added while the wench, which was mainly a female job, was substituted by a better job title. That way there aren't limitations to what kind of profession a character, or CA, could have.


This week I took care of the Occupations, Classes, and Skills & Spells systems.



As you can see, the skills & spells will run mainly on a d20 system, while I plan to keep other dice for other exclusive actions.

Right now there's a concern that the game will be intimidating to newcomers, due to the various new rules that keep getting added daily.

Sense New Horizon will be an all-in-one core book, all the rules will be contained within, that includes the campaign setting, and things like, bestiary, how to craft your own adventures, task resolution, etc...


I'm taking the uncommon approach of using bigger fonts due to eye strain and constant zooming. The contrast also goes easy on the eyes, opposed to a black on white background. Bluelight exposure, was already confirmed to be a health hazard, and that choice was made to help you and me make the most out of our eyes.


Before I forget, these aren't the only actions players will have in combat. There will be other alternatives such as, parry & counter, evade, sneak attack, and others that were mentioned, and some that weren't.

I'll be making some significant progress with the New Horizon core book during the holiday weekend. All is on schedule for playtesting to start around mid-July. If you'd like to test the game, just send me a PM.
