SDLeary Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Nope. The ETA of Dragon Lines has (unfortunately) shifted to March 2010. But the plan now is to make it available also through regular shops. Woo! Along with the previous titles? Rome? VVV? SDLeary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosenMcStern Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Yes, along with Rome. By the way, if you live in the London area you can already get BRP Rome and Stupor Mundi at Leisure Games. They just received a new batch of books. Unfortunately it is not so easy to contact at supply many shops if you do not have access to regular distribution.

Might be worth seeing if you can get orc's Nest to stock some as well: Orcs Nest Online Roleplaying Games Shop They're the other major RPG stockist for London and do mail order sales as well. I've bought a fair bit of stuff off of them down the years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GianniVacca Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 BTW why is the game called 'Dragon Lines'? Are you using dragon lines (the Chinese equivalent of the Western ley lines)?

Jason D Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 ...where dragon magic permeates the land... BTW why is the game called 'Dragon Lines'? Are you using dragon lines (the Chinese equivalent of the Western ley lines)? I suspect so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Green Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I suspect so. Jason is correct. The book is called Dragon Lines because the flows of Chi are a core concept-it gives Martial Artists their powers, and makes it so spirits and ghosts can exist alongside humanity.

Trifletraxor Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 The definite data on Dragon Lines, from Alephtar Games: A Martial Artist's power comes from life-giving Chi, which suffuses the land of the Dragon Empire. It is your duty to use your martial skills and amazing Chi powers to protect the Forbidden City from the hungry ghosts, hopping vampires and Foreign Devils who murder and steal from the innocent. With Dragon Lines, you may: Use an expanded Martial Arts system that is compatible with any Basic Roleplaying game. Characters may employ real-life styles, like boxing or ninjitsu; mystical styles that stem from magic; or design their own styles with the tools provided. There are dozens of styles to choose from, and over one hundred Chi Powers. Explore the expansive Dragon Empire, where beauty and culture are marred by corruption and decadence. Due to high concentrations of Chi, magical spirits live alongside mortals. Players can choose to be humans, spirits, or something in between. Reap the rewards of piety: you might become Enlightened, find a position within the Celestial Bureaucracy, or even take a sip from the Elixir of Immortality. Dragon Lines is a game of high flying action. Characters can wade through hordes of Lesser Foes, and then duel with another Martial Arts masters. You can survive dangers which would slay ordinary mortals. Walk on water, run up walls and along rooftops, and harness the very powers of Heaven to shoot lightning from your fingertips!

Liberator Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Any chance of getting a character sheet PDF posted somewhere? Is it on the Alephtar website? I've looked around but haven't found one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosenMcStern Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 We are now in the process of transfering all the free goodies from the old site to the new one. Once all the download sections are complete, you will find the character sheet and a colour version of the maps on the Dragon Lines web page. This will take no longer than 24 hours.

d(sqrt(-1)) Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Hi, I picked up a copy of Dragon Lines on Friday and have had quick a read through it. One question - I haven't seen an actual definition of the Chi rating for a PC anywhere. I assume that it's the same value as Magic/Power Points would be, and several of the Chi manipulations etc seem to imply this but I haven't seen it explicity stated. Looks like lots of nice ideas in the system as far as I can see. I would have preferred not to have a background to the text as I find that makes it more difficult to read though. cheers, Mark Quote Always start what you finish.

RosenMcStern Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 Yes, Chi is a synonym of Power Points. It is explicitly stated in the text, but if you just skim through the book it is very easy to miss it.

Trifletraxor Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 What's the actual pagecount? SGL. Quote Ef plest master, this mighty fine grub! 116/420. High Priest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosenMcStern Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 128 pages. Dario managed to squeeze more content per page than we expected. The data on our web pages has been corrected after we realized this, maybe this is not the case elsewhere.
