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.

Some of you might remember the massive RPG setting I designed and put out some months ago... 4 books totalling around 1,000 pages. Chock full of illegal art and errors. Well, I just finished converting the entire thing to a True20-esque hybrid system, with legal artwork, and (hopefully) few if any errors. I think it looks better than the original, and as it's a stand-alone game, easier to understand and use. PLUS, I was able to condense it down to just 254 pages! It's in .pdf format and I offer it to anyone who wants it, free of charge. If you want a copy, send me an email to moogspaceport@gmail.com. The .pdf is under 3mb in size.

Also this is an open call for critique, so if you find errors (be they factual or opinion) please feel free to let me know. Thanks in advance,

Just checked my email and I have my copy.  :)

I will print it out ASAP and then begin going through it.  Poke me if you haven't heard anything in a week -- I won't be making any snap judgements.  :)

Darlena's last final is next Friday, so I'll have her look at it after then.  :)

You and the Dar rock! I think people who saw the D20 one are going to be shocked. I am proud of how this turned out, even though I am certain there are errors I missed. Thanks again! :)

I missed the original version, but I look forward to this one.  I'm sure you'll have errors, 'cause self-editing can only catch so much.  :)

Very, very true. My orignal D20 release was full of errors I missed, simply because of tunnel vision and eagerness to get it out. I tell you one thing, it was fun to do but it sure wasn't easy. :)

Got it, thanks.

First impression is...whoa. :)

It looks good. It will take a while to read though - it's a massive document.

Thanks for the copy. Need some time to absorb the setting/game. I'll take it for a spin in a couple of weeks and drop you a line to tell you how it handles.But from first looks it reads like something the crew will really dig :)

Haha! Lucky for me, the boss is on vacation so I printed it out this morning on our bulk printer. :D

Your opening bit of fiction is actually interesting!  And good!  That puts you several steps ahead of a lot of game systems right there.  :D

I've got read a bit of it here and there so far, and I have to echo CZ.  It's pretty damn good.
