Susano Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Okay, my mistake, it's more like 3,300 pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Those 797 pages are in a LibreOffice file. Did I mention the 3400 page PDF? I can send you a thumb drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susano Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 So, I've finished reading and skimming the hundreds of documents that make up what we have from Aaron's files. And I thought I'd share this screenshot of the final folder, which contains files Aaron wrote for this planned multi-volume guide to Strike Force. This is what we'll be working with and from in our efforts to make a 6E version of the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 A multi-volume guide sounds good to me. Make it so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susano Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 A multi-volume guide sounds good to me. Make it so. That would require the proper amount of Kickstarter funding. We would like to, but.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuestionMan Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Interesting to see character advancement in stages. 250, 300, 350, 400, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susano Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Interesting to see character advancement in stages. 250, 300, 350, 400, etc... I am fairly sure we won't have the room. What I want to do is follow the original book's approach. Which was 1st appearance and then the latest we can find (both updated for 6E).

Christopher R Taylor Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Maybe in an online supplement, a PDF or something? With a few notes if they exist of Allston's thoughts on character development and spending xps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susano Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Maybe in an online supplement, a PDF or something? With a few notes if they exist of Allston's thoughts on character development and spending xps This is a matter of time, energy, cost, and having the files showing the various power levels. Which, as far as I know, we don't have. What I have access too are the Strike Force character sheets in the original book, and piles of Hero Creator files showing various characters as of 1994 or so.

bubba smith Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 update the original to 6th then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susano Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 update the original to 6th then That is basically what we are doing, but also expanding it to show the evolution of his world over 25 years or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 That is too bad; would have been a great opportunity from Allston's perspective about the problems, opportunities, and benefits of building characters over time with experience.

I'm not sure if this was something he was going to address anyway. The files I've seen do talk about GMing, but much of the PC development was up to the players. I have an email where a player returns to play after spending 5 years away and he rebuilt his PC on his own, based on the new rules (4E and Aaron's house rules). Aaron didn't (AFAIK) ask for (or require) any changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja-Bear Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Just wondering is there any notes or impressions on how he dealt with player expectations? Did he change rules to better reflect how they felt the game should play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susano Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 So, the first 1,000+ words have been written. I'm working on the introduction and will then go into various campaign elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptnStrawberry Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Just curious, do we have a rough idea as to when the Strike Force kickstarter will, well, kick off?

Steve Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 How much of the text will be Mr. Allston's work? Will it be a total re-write from his notes or will there be sections taken whole from his writings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
