4th Edition Etherscope?

Post by Stomphoof »

I was curious if there was any intention to update Etherscope to 4th Ed? I don't mind it being "3rd Ed" or "3.5 Ed" but was curious.

I know alot of gamers out there want to do Steampunk-esque games. Its what made me hunt down and find Etherscope, and the more I read about it on the web while I wait for my copy, the more I want my copy to get its little softcover behind here.

At this point, there are no plans to apply 4th edition rules to Etherscope. One of the reasons behind adding a complete set of rules to the Etherscope Core Rulebook was so that it wouldn't be tied to any changes to the base d20/D&D rules from WotC. To run Etherscope, all you need is the core book, and that's been a plus for the setting, I think. Thanks for the support!

This makes me smile. I'm not overly enamoured with much I've seen of the 4th edition thus far. And I'd hate to have to buy all of the Etherscope books all over again.

I gotta watch the spam, seeing as how I am at work.

Thankfully it does not appear to have spread here *knocks on wood*

Totally off topic (then again this thread is ALREADY off topic) has anyone ever thought to make a Goodman Games Wiki?

Where you can find info about the games ect?

Wiki

I really do not know how to work a Wiki, but I am sure there are many others on here who can do so.

Only one I would really be interested in is the Etherscope one. Maybe the Dragonmech one once I find a copy of the rules for myself.

An Etherscope wiki sounds like a good idea, but I'm maxxed out on time these days. There is a Wiki for the DCC line, though.

If anything Etherscope owes most d20 modern which, as much as i like 3.5, is a better system, though Etherscope created its own OGL identity for the reasons Ken stated and because the game needed it, though I'm sure most designers say that to justify their tinkering :D
