logomancer Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 I've been lurking and reading for a while on the forums, sampling the good ideas and getting the feel of Fantasy Hero, 5th ed. I've been working on a campaign setting for a couple of years - - well, it started out as the setting to a novel and grew into an RPG setting. Thus, I'm presenting my website detailing the milieu to my peers. http://primeval.logomancer.net It's still largely in development. The magick system is fairly basic and I'm busy expanding some of the "flavors" of it. There aren't a lot of professions yet, but the races are somewhat fleshed out. I'm detailing it all as I go; as most GM's do. At any rate, your input and opinions will be welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Obvious Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Re: Introducing "Primeval" It looks interesting from the cursory glance I've been able to give it. With this post, I'll surely be reminded to come back and take a closer look later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logomancer Posted August 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Re: Introducing "Primeval" Yeah...I know it's a lot of material sorta' a dense read. I've been trying to keep it broken up into easily digestible sections, but that only goes so far. Thanks for your interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Obvious Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Re: Introducing "Primeval" Still haven't read it all, or even done more than scratch the surface, but I will say your esoteric forces are pretty interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logomancer Posted August 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Re: Introducing "Primeval" I developed the Arcane Forces as a means to delineate special effects for the milieu. Sometimes with the Hero System, because it's framework is a generic toolkit, the powers and spells that are created by characters can come off sterile (i.e., focused so much on the generic framework definitions that they lose flavor) or very random (i.e., a bunch of disparate powers strung together). I wanted to give characters a context for the special effects they might choose. I've seen this in other games, notably D&D3E, where they have energy archetypes that "do a certain thing" or have "certain ramifications" if used. They do the same thing with categories of monster and it seems to matter when unifying the milieu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
