CLASSIC FANTASY - A Return to the Dawn of Roleplaying

[Mechashef]

Those are some nice looking maps! :thumb:

They are indeed. I'm very jealous of people who can produce nice maps. I am seriously lacking in such creative ability :-(

...Additional playtesting has showed that because of the fact that a magic-user has to build up all his spells with skill points in addition to purchasing other skills as well, it was almost impossible for him to be good at anything...

But... but... I thought that was intentional.

I mean, how else capture the experiences we had at the Dawn of Roleplaying?!

Besides, that mistake is exactly what legions of rpg designers did during the 70's and 80's, so you're in good company!

Oh, believe me, he still won't have many skills/spells. But at least in D&D, the spells he had he could cast.

I'm putting the finishing touches on the cartography and redesigning the stat-block in BRP to a more gui-friendly format that'll fit on the adventure cards I'm making but man has it been fun so far!

Really nice job on the maps! :thumb:

As I continue to read and get my arms wrapped around BRP in general it's got me wanting to do a BRP/Classic Fantasy conversion for my as of yet unreleased FantasyCraft and Savage Worlds adventures.
...

Any chance you would like to playtest those adventures for BRP in Milwaukee sometime soon?

As soon as I get out of my turkey coma (assisted by plenty of Scuttlebutt 10 Below - Beer Styles ) and good sweet German red wine ) and get done with the 2009 black hole of hours (a service desk implementation for a local college )

I'm thinking of doing something with OpenQuest as well...(more to come).

Will you be changing your name to "natural-oh-one" anytime soon?

Is there a place where I can view a preview of this work? Has the pdf edition been error corrected? Thanks!

There is no preview of CF online, other than reading the forums here to see it sounds of interest to you. Just do a search for Classic Fantasy. Also Sword & Spell and Chaos & Catacombs as they were all possible titles throughout its design.

I am just finishing up the re-edit of the initial release and plan to turn it in on Monday. But if you are interested in the PDF version, then downloading it now is no problem as you can ALWAYS re-download a PDF. There is even a check box to be notified of updates when they are ready.

I will be happy to answer any specific questions as well.

Rod,
Thanks for the fast response! Will the revised pdf be available next week?

Questions about the game: what kind of "benefits" do various races receive? Attribute and skill bonuses? Does character background play any role in the chargen process? What type of magic system is in place -- it is vancian? Spell points? Fatigue-based? Roll-for-success? Are there schools of magic and clerical domains a la AD&D 2e?

Thanks!
