SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Quote from: trechriron;1123369I downloaded the quickstart yesterday and was pleasantly intrigued. Now I find out that the Outrage Brigade is still filled with untempered irrational hatred?

I'm so in. PARAGON!

So, you planning on a compatibility license so other peeps can make cool things for Acendant?

Yes, I will definitely do that! Thanks for backing the game.

Saving it towards the $1 billion stretch goal where I become Batman!

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

Re: The Quickstart vs the actual book

Is the same type size used in the actual book?

I'm not sure yet. I'll probably collect feedback from the backers before deciding.
What's your sense?

Thanks for answering, too small IMHO, what's it? 10 points? In the quickstart I mean.

Tiny print sucks. Easy to read is always better.

Quote from: amacris;1123388For about 3 months, each time he made a new character, I had to make a new draft of the rules to fix what he broke!

Those are the best playtesters. Better to break the game now than after its published.

Have you considered providing a early play-test version for backers? Could be fun to kick the tires on a game or two waiting for the final version...

Quote from: amacris;1123388That is the hope, in any case! I'm fortunate in that one of my playtesters is absolutely committed to designing paraplegic space aliens if it means he can eek out one extra point here and there. So far his most triumphant success was an armless floating invisible sphere with telekinesis and cause fear... For about 3 months, each time he made a new character, I had to make a new draft of the rules to fix what he broke!

I had no idea my brother was one of your playtesters! :p
