[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 9250617, member: 326"] Hey there DirectMethod! :) Happy to have you onboard. Thanks! Although on 3.5E matters I generally defer to the likes of Beefermatic, Obly99 and others who post some fantastic stuff. Thanks so much! Really appreciated. Coincidentally enough in my new 5E book (coming soon guys - I know I keep promising but not long now) I spend the few pages of chapter one ([B]Chapter One: Epic[/B]) actually outlining how and why players (and DMs) might be interested in playing an epic level game. I then go on to explain what an epic game entails with some new quick features/rules to reinforce what I mean. That's what I love to hear! :love: Not to worry....I got you covered. 8 page section of [B]Chapter 2: Immortality[/B] in the new book goes into detail on Divine Realms and its a SUPER simple set of options for customizing divine realms....and I don't mean "change the weather" nonsense that is largely cosmetic at epic levels, I mean PROPER customization. I know this is for 5E, but large parts of the book will work with ANY system. Okay well to [B]very briefly [/B]go over the new Divine Realm options, immortals FREELY get to choose either a Realm-wide "Regional Effect" (from a bunch of options) or a Lair-Wide Effect/Action (doesn't have to be an action - can just be an effect) for every Divine Status...again from a list of options. e.g. A Lesser God (Divine Rank 4 in my 5E rules) gets 4 total effects, could be 3 Regional/1 Lair effect, or 2:2 or 4:0 etc. On top of that Lairs also get Defense Options (with about 20 materials to choose from - about half are new), Attack Options (new energy types) and a Mobility Options - but these cost "Quintessence". So an immortal could build their Divine Lair out of Adamantine, feature Anti-Matter Ballistae and get up and fight like a City-sized Golem...if you can pay for it that is. The new book is basically Ascension for 5E, with all-new re-jigged (ie. Simpler AND Better) rules, PLUS Chronicle, PLUS Grimoire, PLUS Gods & Monsters all rolled into one book. Now I was planning to have a FULL Divine Realm as a sort of example/mini-adventure hybrid in the Appendix of the book, BUT I am not sure I can fit that in and I don't want to go above 400 pages, so I might have that as a separate release 48-64 pages or so. Current plan is to release the PDF for the rules around April/May* 🤞 then finish the Epic Bestiary (at least 5 months after that) and do the Kickstarter for the Bestiary AND the Print Version of the Rulebook. [B]Full disclosure[/B] my pricing is going to be $35 PDF/$70 Print BUT buy both for $50/$100 respectively. So if you want to wait a few months longer to get the Rulebook when I release the Bestiary it will be cheaper if you buy both together, but I want to get the Rulebook on sale because (even though I am reasonably comfortable) its scary seeing savings only going one way these past 4-5 months. *So New 5E Rulebook coming soon...again this is me, trying my best here guys, I promise you will be blown away like never before...once its done. [B]Best case scenario[/B] - so take this with a HEAVY dose of skepticism: [B]April 2024[/B]: 400 page Rulebook pdf available for $35...I might Print maybe a handful of prototype hardback books at Mixam just to see if everything looks good on page (but don't be expecting to pick one up for anything less than a silly price because I got completely stung on those Ascension 2023 special editions and overall lost money giving them for such a price. Much better to just wait for the Kickstarter for a Print copy). [B]September 2024[/B]: 400 page Epic Bestiary (month-long Kickstarter) with Print and/or PDF Options and the Rulebook Print and/or PDF Option for $35/$70 for one or $50/$100 for both (saving 30% if you get both together). PDF obviously "free" when you buy the Print version. I can't do Print-On-Demand for the 5E Rulebook at Drivethru RPG because the cost of their colour printing is bonkers and the quality will be nowhere near that of somewhere like Print Ninja or Mixam. Its just not a viable option. So that's currently where things stand. [/QUOTE]
