Re: Amazing Adventures at The Side Quest

I know this is probably not what you meant by your reply, but I would not be opposed to a Jason Vey rewrite of the C&C rules with the same amount of time, energy, and love you put into Revised AA. Just saying... Just saying. ~O Nope. I'm not touching the core C&C rules. Those are all Steve,...

Re: FREE AA Character Class: The Demon Hunter!

Jason, I like it! But, I will it is not balanced with C&C Classes. This class is far more powerful than the Paladin. JLL I disagree and would encourage you to playtest it before making that call. There's a mathematical formula that goes into building the XP progressions for these. That being sa...

Re: Amazing Adventures at The Side Quest

Two things, though most of them are not helpful to the point of this thread: One, I bet we could get a kickass game of a cyberpunk-style AA game up at the Side Quest. Model it somewhat off the old Shadowrun Missions system. Alas, there needs to be more support for that style of Amazing Adventures I...

Re: Any difference? Old AA vs Kickstarted AA?

Hey, all, The new corebook has been revised, updated and expanded across the board. There is intro fiction to set the tone of the book, but even not counting the intro fiction the book is about 20,000 words longer than it was before, and it's all new material. The most obvious change is that all err...

Hey, folks, in case you missed the news, our new Kickstarter for Brimstone and the Borderhounds is live! I wrote this one as well, and it's 100% compatible with Amazing Adventures. It's got a number of new classes, a few that are from AA but have been tweaked/improved, new rules for wielding the pow...

That's ok. It had nothing to do with Amazing Adventures. And I learned a lot more about the game. I still have a C&C game running at Immortals Inc., and down the road I may run one that combines C&C with some of the classes from AA. Jason put a lot in the companion book about how to do that...

Re: AA as the ruleset for fantasy INSTEAD of C&C?

That's a really nice compliment, but I'd never suggest that C&C be overhauled to incorporate AA. Rather, I like to think that people who own both can easily adopt whatever they like from AA and dump it right into their C&C games with little to no adaptation necessary. What adjustments do nee...

I have not considered AA as a total replacement of C&C, but I will draw heavily on both AA and Victorious to flesh out my fantasy game. I like the Gumshoe and Raider character classes. I also like the Mentalist class, which I am modifying into three versions based on each mental attribute, (Wis...

Re: AA as the ruleset for fantasy INSTEAD of C&C?

When I look at tweaking C&C rules, I view AA like an extension of the CKG. The CKG offers a lot of ways to tinker under the hood and modify what you want. I look at AA that way for my C&C game. My buddy Jason put a lot of golden nuggets in AA that are fun ports over to my C&C game. It's...

I'd recommend for what you want to do, to pick up the C&C Castle Keeper's Guide, if you haven't already. The current edition of AA is 100% compatible with C&C and the Companion includes guidelines for mixing the two. The CKG, then, has pretty detailed sections on creating new races for your ...
