Tywyll Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Well, after many life upheavals and set backs, the Grimoire is finally finished. I sent it to Chaosium today. I was told there are several Monos that need to have lay out finished first, but since mine is already laid out with the art and stuff done, hopefully that will speed it along faster. Don't know though. Anyway, fingers crossed it will be available to everyone soon!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narl Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Awesome! Congratulations! Can you say a bit more about it? What power systems are spells included for? Magic? Sorcery? Quote 129/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywyll Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 Hey Narl, Yes, I included all the magic systems for BRP (Magic, Sorcery) as well as the magic systems included in Basic Magic (i.e. the old Spirit Magic, RQ Sorcery, and Divine Magic). There are new spells and new optional mechanics for (most) of the systems. Also I have sample magic items (and how to create them under the various magic systems). Hopefully there is something in it for just about any group that uses magic in their BRP game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Venomous Pao Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Very cool news, Tywyll. I can't wait to get my hands on this baby. Congrats! Quote 75/420 --- Geek blogging at http://strangestones.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewilen Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Yes, I included all the magic systems for BRP (Magic, Sorcery) as well as the magic systems included in Basic Magic (i.e. the old Spirit Magic, RQ Sorcery, and Divine Magic). There are new spells and new optional mechanics for (most) of the systems. Also I have sample magic items (and how to create them under the various magic systems). Does this mean the spirit, sorcery, and divine materials depend on having RQIII, Basic Magic, or zomben's forthcoming Magic book--or are you reprinting those magic systems in their entirety?

Thalaba Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 As it stands now, it requires having those books. It doesn't duplicate the content of them. But at this point I don't think Chaosium has commented on the final draft, so I suppose this is subject to change.

Tywyll Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 Pretty much what Thalaba said. A large portion of the book is usable simply with the Big Gold Book. If you use Basic Magic, or the new book, you'll get more out of it as there are new spells and options for those systems as well. The enchantment stuff also is usable with the BGB. I created a Ritual magic system that is a basic version of the rules from Basic Magic but with a vastly expanded selection of ritual magic. And of course there are the enchanted items that work straight with the BGB. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewilen Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 It does indeed, thanks. I have RQ III, so I'll probably forego Magic, but I'll keep The Grimoire in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mankcam Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Any idea when 'Grimoire' is released to the public?

Thalaba Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I've heard from Tywyll on this issue and he said the last communication he had from Dustin indicated that the Grimoire was 'likely to be published before the end of the year' - but that was a month or more ago and there hasn't been any fresh news since. Still, if all goes well, it could be released pretty soon, which would be nice!
