I mean, it is still a re-roll but it is not how pushing works.Ā See Fate Points, BGB Page 176... š 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ The Ronin Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 But that's not in the list of Prohibited Content, nor it is part of the trademark of any of the lines.Ā It is literary a mechanic (that I wouldn't even call Fate Points since that's the trademark of another game line) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Henerson Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 This sounds great! I need to play the game and get the hang of it, but then I might make some time to work on a Nightlands RPG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Henerson Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 What kind of program would you use to make a project like this? Is Word sufficient? Also, are you supposed to take the SRD and edit it, or is it just the guidelines? Finally, is it acceptable to add your own art work to the product?

Old Man Henerson Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 The logo is good, but I think the dragon was cool too. It made it feel classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright, thanks. I was just confused weather you had to write up all the material yourself, or if you were supposed to include the document within the product.

Archivist Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Just curious. CoC 7e doesn't use a resistance table, but I see that in the SRD. Why is that? Is CoC 7e a different thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond that, you can make what use you want with the OGL material - ie, create derivative works of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Will you be opening an errata thread? For instance, "Technical Skill" in the skill list is missing a bullet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 After aĀ quick read, I see no difference between this and the Quick Start document, save the Poison spot rule at the very end. Are there any substantial differences you've all found? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have a lore book started so I will just need to add the license and the basic mechanics than I will be golden. Absolute final question, do we need to totally make up new magic and power systems or is it okay to use and expand upon the ones in the Big Golden Book?

Just don't use what is listed as Prohibited Content - so don't repackage the RQG magic system for example.
