Other than honing my MS paint skillz this morning, thoughts of the full Peril RPG book fill my head. You can download the sample pocket rules for the Peril RPG here.
1. I am contemplating either using only 2 classes (Adventurer/MU) or possibly 3 (Fighter/Specialist/Wizard)
2. No clerics, their turn ability will be put into holy symbols/ magical items and the spells will be integrated into spell list choices
3. Demi-humans: While I prefer race as class, I also see value in having them being antagonists.
4. I want the core rules to be about 24 pages in booklet form. Something I can print and mail out from home in envelopes. I don't want any item to be more than 24 pages, and the range should be 12pg to 24 pg
5. Color code the releases: Red cover for rules, Silver for supplements and Amber (orange) for adventures.
More to come...
I like the idea of a humancentric world. Otherwise race as class.
ReplyDeleteTo me one of the best decisions for dnd was leaving the 'race is class' behind. i never found it very fair that being a race pigeonholed you into a certain role. That's only me though.
ReplyDelete@Narmer--I agree I can't think of a D&D rpg with demi-humans being competitors and dangerous. Not saying it hasn't been done-I just have not seen it.
ReplyDelete@MJ-I think I may go humancentirc in the core rules and possibly have a demi-human supplement and class choices would apply to demi-human characters as well.
