>>1978 Hey there Crux, found your way here too, huh? I think I already gave you class suggestions ages ago so there's not much for me to add.

>>1979 Yeah, at this point what I need to do is a ton of converting my text notes into actual CYOA images, so not really something I can use help on. The biggest thing is finding images, which I've decided I'm going to do an initial WIP version where although every class will have an image, not every skill will, and then I can let people who are interested help with images there as I fill them in for later. I'm posting here more just to share it at this point, both because other people may be interested and because it helps me formulate my thoughts sometimes. I may request help/feedback later but I don't expect to need it for weeks. I'll answer questions about it for anyone curious though.

Shit, hey Crux. Sorry I didn't come here earlier. Couldn't figure out how.

I wrote some of this class stuff long enough ago that I can get excited about it as if it wasn't my own writing, now. I got through the bread and butter martial classes, which are a bit boring but I don't really know how to fix that besides ramping up the power level. Now I'm doing my favorite classes, which are the weird ones like Analyst, Voyeur, and Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver might be my favorite of all, it has a diverse array of useful abilities all of which are quite unconventional. >>1989 Why apologize? You owe me no debt, and we are all scattered to the winds in any case. There were never many of us, but for all I know there are more elsewhere that we haven't found yet. Though I suspect most are content to let the thread sleep until 4chan comes back. I'm just too psyched about what I'm working on.

>>2000 The best template for martial classes is something like Anima: Beyond Fantasy, The Book of Nine Swords (DnD), or Path of War (Pathfinder.) Basically, anime martials instead of mundane ones.

>>2000 Nice trips. >>2001 >Anima: Beyond Fantasy I'll check this out.

>>2001 > The Book of Nine Swords (DnD), or Path of War (Pathfinder.) I'm familiar with these two, I played a fair amount with Path of War. When thinking about the concepts of characters I made with it, the important parts are also in other classes I've done though. And ultimately, it's something that gets really into the nitty gritty of mechanics (and then is kind of bad at it; for damage dealing you pretty much always want primal fury for example) rather than having big ideas. Then again, the martial disciplines themselves do have big ideas, which I could use to come up with some classes. Cursed Razor in particular is a cool premise. >Anima: Beyond Fantasy I'm not familiar with it. Where does one acquire game books that fell off the back of a truck these days? I haven't been in the market for a while. It looks like it's largely ki-based though, and I do have plenty of stuff for qi-using classes, it's the pure stamina-using classes I have in mind when talking about martial classes.

>>2009 No idea, I got mine before all the cryptography autism.
