Aug 23, 2008 5:56:35 I have been working on a setting for the past few years, on and off, building it up, tearing it down and starting from scratch. At any rate, I was planning on using 4th edition D&D for it, but I'm not satisfied with it (I like magic, and I find its system underwhelming, and I am also not pleased with WOTC's idea of marketting a product, i.e. leaving the Sorcerer/Druid etc out of the PHB), and so I am going to opt for AE as the framework for it, alongside the Spell Treasury, Transcendence and the Book of Experimental Might. One thing I do need some help on is the rules, and particularly merging certain rules, e.g. I want to incorporate some elements from 4e, as I'm not too familiar with tabletop (most of what I know of D&D comes from the books themselves and CRPGs), so I might be a bit off on the balance aspect. Is anyone willing to communicate on this either by PM or an IM? If so, PM me. If you're not familiar with AE, no need to reply to this.

The folks on monte's boards are far more familiar with AE rules since that is all we play with HERE

since I am only playing with AE and BoXM I and II, but not 4e I am alas not much help.

I know there is an idea to adapt AE to 4th going on behind the scenes over there.

Aug 24, 2008 19:09:00 Thanks. I have asked there, but the forum is pretty quiet. If there is such an attempt going on, I'll keep my ears open for further information, so to speak.

specifically reply # 10 by Mr Staun

I think the reason is that Monte has stated he has no intrest in seeing a 4e/AE conversion so the idea went underground. Its a fanboy board what can you expect

Yet there are always a few rebels like mr Staun that will help you out (he runs The Akashic Record

Hope that helps.
