Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Éran on Fri Jan 30, 2015 5:39 pm

Hello All,

I'm new on the board, but not to role playing.

My interest is primarily in 'tabletop' games - face to face. As an ex computer systems designer I've stared at screens for long enough! On the other hand that gives me the mental tools to design systems and the computer knowledge to know how to use computers to help make solutions more efficient. In this case by taking most of the maths (yes I'm a Brit) out of the game time by pre-calculating most of the numbers, leaving just the dice for the players and the task difficulty for the GM.

In case you haven't already guessed I'm now writing games using a novel system that's about to be launched.

In play testing so far, character creation can be done in 30min for simple characters, although it can take up to 2 hours to optimise supers and magic users. Despite this simplicity, no one has yet complained of a lack of flexibility (only that their starting level character wasn't powerful enough to teleport 10,000km with another person in tow). And incidentally, both modern supers and ancient magic users can co-exist in the same game.

Since I'm retired it's my intent to ensure the games and system are made available free of charge.

So watch this space for announcements over the next few months.


Just to explain my avatar, it's an accurate picture of one of my D&D characters (wait a day or two, then go to the favourite characters thread to find out more).

Please excuse speeling and language errors, I'm dyslexic and have trouble with worms.
