Thanks, Rob. And I hear ya. I almost didn't pick the game up because it wasn't going to see PDF. But with the Fighting Fantasy line being my first exposure to role playing, temptation ran high. An Amazon gift card tickled that temptation till I could wait no more.
Last night we ran our usual test scenario and it was one of the most memorable instances of playing it. And it wasn't even nostalgia talking. My wife who has never touched a Fighting Fantasy book first made that comment. A writeup of the mini-session is in the works. I better hurry up because today I'm going to see if I can find Out of the Pit locally.
I like the character sheet. Now only if Myth-Weavers could put together a sheet like this...(Unfortunately, they go in what is in demand and who on their team knows what system. It's taken them over a year and change to get a Pathfinder sheet done.)
Since it was first announced , a lot of work has gone into the Amplitude Engine. We hit a point where the thing needed a character sheet to help others quickly grasp the game. So, here it is!
Just throwing this out there to see what kind of feedback I get. I've got a couple of projects that I'd really like to work on. One's fantasy and one's sci-fi. To get past the spinning my wheels phase I gotta decide on system(s). Even though it might be advantageous to go Swords & Wizardry and Fate, I'm gonna go other directions. Currently under consideration: EABA Fudge Open D6/Mini-Six Custom Why these three options? EABA I've been running EABA, Hero and Gurps to explore the universal system field. I like each of them for various reasons, but two things stand out for me regarding EABA. Its universal chart is an incredible game resource and it has an upfront permissive license. Fudge The open license and the fact that it's a framework are really attractive. Besides that, there are a lot of shoulders to stand on. Also, I've wanted to explore Fate's roots. Open D6/Mini-Six Beyond the open license, nostalgia...
Very nice indeed. I'm conflicted about whether or not to get the game--the lack of a PDF is an issue here, alas.
