Ahhh... I think something just clicked. I was thinking of the Demorthen as another form of religion. But it is more like a wiseman/wisewoman whose knowledge has been passed down through the ages, what has worked and what has not. One able to see patterns in nature and with the knowledge of the elde...

While this is certainly true, players have a strange habit of wanting *more*. As a GL, it falls on me to provide the players with information about the various factions for a player who wants to play a member of the faction. Several of my players (in both gaming groups) considered the material to b...

If I was to get the $60 Verigal pledge, How much would I have to add to get the new and old music CDs? You can't add the old CD to Varigal at this time. However, it looks likely that you will be able to add the old CD to Farl pledge levels and above (not Varigal though) once we hit $35K. As for the...

EDIT: I just pledged, but now I can't find the option how I change it to HC? Are yu sure this is possible? Its here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1176616619/shadows-of-esteren-a-medieval-horror-rpg-prologue/posts/337265 The Special Edition will be the softcover version, in hardcover with alt...

I approeciated the normal softcover in addition for another $8, but it's the shipping costs mentioned with that book that are the killer (that's why I've got my $80 down, and then an additional $40 on top of that). That $20/40 shipping cost is only of you want a physical copy in December. If you ar...

Just on the subject of shipping, I want to say thanks for making international shipping free for th $60 Varigal level and above. Personally I am in at Farl as I love the journey of all the added stretch goals that grow over time and the LE covers :) Being able to add a normal softcover for $8 was a ...

I also think Journeys is a better title for a book than Travels

Thanks for the reply. :) For it to have a decent chance to block a powerful opponent, the Attack roll would have to be generally higher than Defence. Is that the case? The two look roughly equal to me - it seems that a Parry could just as easily be worse than Defence as better. But I've not had a c...

That is essentially it. If you read Empathy narrowly, then AssenG's logic holds. However, I think to do so is a distortion of how its intended to be read. Effectively, you are creating a limitation and then criticising the rules for the limitation you created. Fortuitously or more likely by design, ...

Wait, you think an weapon attack doesn't produce "cruel amounts of pain" on the target? In my book, cruel is cruel, even if it's necessary. No, I don't :). But I do think empathic people can fight without being hindered by their ability to sense feelings and thoughts of others. Its too simplistic t...
