Myth & Magic Kickstarter is blowing up!

[Papercut]

Myth & Magic a 2e "future-clone" (kinda like Pathfinder or C&C) is up on Kickstarter right now with its full Player's Book and it is blowing up. Up until now, it has had its free starter set available, both Player and GMs book.

If you like the playstyle and feel of 2e but enjoy more modern mechanics, or are looking for a system that is not reliant on minis while having customizability, M&M might be for you. Check out the free books, on rpgnow or available as direct download from here:

I am playing 2e for the first time since 1999 this weekend and I have to say, as I am going through the books some really clunky bits jump right out that newer editions have addressed. I feel M&M has a good compromise for some, not all in on certain things, but cleaning up others.

I worked up some 2e conversion notes if anyone is interested.

Full disclosure- I am in on the Kickstarter, and just an enthusiastic fan.

Cheers

Definitely going to check it out, since I've always been curious about older play styles, but, I recommend against shortening the name to M & M.

Over 50% funded in less than 24 hours. I am looking forward to the books, hardback, all four of them!

The last time I looked at the Myth&Magic starter, there was no Paladin (sub)class. Is there one now?

 

[Papercut]

The Paladin will be in the Player's Guide. The Starter Set is the core four classes levels 1-10. There was a playtest paladin offered a while ago, but I think at the moment I would use the 2e paladin, with the M&M Bab and such. The playetest paladin was very much an alpha concept.

If you get involved in the Kickstarter, there will early releases of more refined playtest material. Paladin will be in the mix, as well as many other classes.

Cheers

Quick update, the project has reached two mini-stretch goals of including TSR artists (Clyde Caldwell and one more atm unannounced artist) in addition to being very close to the next big milestone:

$8,000 - We'll use semi-gloss paper with a full bleed page layout and include grayscale full pages and better shaded art.

Woot

Will we see any version of the Psionicist? Psionics has been on a downhill slide since 3E came out...

They have stated that they are going to do psionics, I do not know if they are going to be in the Player's Guide or in a future book. Something good to inquire about:
