Rorik36 Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Absinthe isn't an acquired taste. I just beats the brain cells that don't like the taste into submission. Okay, maybe that is the definition of an acquired taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goblyn13 Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 :focus: So um, with that all in mind, I think Hamelin needs more naughty kids. Maybe something in the vein of Augutus Gloop (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) a non-human eating machine, or maybe, a couple of twins, Dee and Dum, Dee would be the brains of the outfit while Dum is your typical point and shoot type.

Nathan Caroland Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Always happy to see someone do some writing, never know when it might turn into a gig here to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinton Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Always happy to see someone do some writing, never know when it might turn into a gig here to be honest. Yeah, but would you prefer that people write stories about Wyrd characters according to the official guidelines (whatever they may be) or just writing whatever comes to mind?

Nathan Caroland Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Whatever comes to mind right now to be honest as frankly, I'm not ready to release anything to the public on the fluff yet, but will soon enough. Anything written can always be adapted though and frankly, I very well may be looking for additional writers in the very near future.

Vytis Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Groovy! I may dust off that section of my brain. Although I'd guess I'd enjoy the playing and playtesting more (but I know thats WAY off). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberdark Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 woo hooo!!!! cool then....i will right something up. i've had a sick story in my mind over the rotten belles for a while. *rubs hands together* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinton Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Well, I don't know if my story came anywhere even close to how things are actually going to be, but I did have fun writing it. Not sure what I might write up next, but I'll give it some thought and see if I can come up with a story with some of the other characters. Or maybe another story with the Ortegas.

Nathan Caroland Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Right now we're pushing for a late December open beta test for the game. I think we should meet it, but if not, shortly there after. Probably do something along the lines of two to three months of beta testing and rehashing of rules and clearning things up, and if all goes well, see about having it in production and available between July and August of 2008. Likely not quick enough for some of you, but we're working on making this the best we can make it, expect that there will be rules rewritten and new ideas implimented through extensive beta testing, and then of course, the actual putting together of the production product which is going to be a good deal more work than just throwing together a word document and calling it good. Love for it to be quicker naturally, but I won't get overly optimistic about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinton Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Personally speaking, I would prefer to wait for a quality product than to have it rushed out and not be done well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Is it true that this game will be written by a mentally challenged dwarf that talks to monkeys and has been raised in an underground lair by insects???

Xenon_Wulf Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 From experience, I'd say that doing a beta in December/January for a July/August release is optimistic - take your time to go through everything, you don't want to rush anything here, and pull a *insert name of a certain company which changes rulesets every other year* due to needing too many changes to the ruleset. Rushing things is the last thing you want to do here. Take your time, and make sure you've got a quality product - if you want to have a uniquely original and extraordinarily Wyrd (pardon the pun) product, you should take the time to do things right.

Nathan Caroland Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 We've put ourselves on our own time-line for releasing the game. It 'may' or 'may not' happen as smoothly as I would like it to and I well know that there are many pitfalls and delays that aren't always in my control. That being said, we're working towards a quality product. If I find that it isn't going to happen to my satisfaction within that time frame, then I will simply allow for it to take the additional time that it will need. I am not going to put out a half assed, half put together game. We'll put out a quality product, mainly as I believe we've got some quality folks working towards it. That of course doesn't mean I'm not stressed out of my mind. None-the-less, when the beta comes around, we'll take comments, insight, suggestions and we'll work with what we need to. I plan on about three to four months of serious beta testing outside of the testing we will be doing on our own 'in house'. During this time, we'll be doing the layouts and getting everything ready for print and making the changes. Ya'll keep me on my toes though!

EricJ Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 I'm just going to be the confident one here, because Nathan made all sorts of disclaimers, that we'll be on time and with a quality product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valmont Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 How about a really minor question....planning on a D6 system like SO many others, or planning to be more bold and moving into the worlds of the d8 through d30? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
