All Kinds of Fun!
In my work with Nevermet Press, I wanted to work on providing statblocks for the free content, there. I wanted to choose a Neoclassical system because 4th Edition appears to be well covered. After researching various systems, I chose Basic Fantasy. This system feels the most familiar to me, based on my history of playing. The differences from Basic D&D make sense to me, but also allow for some flexibility in classes, rules, etc. The real winner for me was the ’source’ content published in OpenOffice file formats. This demonstrated to me that the philosophy of the BFRPG developers is very much in-line with my own.
So, there will be content on my site from this point forward designed specifically for the BFRPG. This month will include new dragons, as well as statblocked content from Nevermet Press.
Did I forget M20? No, I start with M20 and work my way forward. I also intend to provide M20 statblocks for everything as well.
Here’s to a reboot of Sycarion.com
Sycarion Diversions is a sister site of pinakidion.*. pinakidion.* deals more with religious and writing topics. This site houses information on games. Specifically, this has information on card games, board games, and role-playing games. Card games and board games are a collaborative effort with my friend Jeff. Jeff has created and briefly marketed one board game and has idea for lots of others. Role-Playing Games are my bailiwick. I've been playing since I was 10 starting with the Mentzer Basic D&D box. I stopped playing in college, but recently renewed my love for RPGs. In 2005, I discovered the Action! System from Goldrush Games. Since then, I have also found Microlite20 and OpenD6. It's a good time to game.
For what it is worth, feel free to use anything that you see on the site. It is not copyrighted or even placed under a Creative Commons License. Part of the reason for this is that rules for games cannot really be copyrighted. However, the main reason is that the value of this site is the community I am a part of. Restrictions on ideas and games can delay innovation, even simple restrictions can be an impediment. Sure, I'd like a link and to be given credit, but that's up to the person.
