Title: Something Wicked : bring Nightblade/Shadowblade in or put in Subterfuge
Post by: NicholasHMCaldwell on July 28, 2016, 02:32:59 AM: So we have room in the HARP ecosystem for a magic-using assassin profession, which used to be called Shadowblade but we ought properly to call a Nightblade. Should I bring this into Something Wicked (where it could be argued that it fits by virtue of a potential evil dimension) or should we hold it until HARP Subterfuge (where it has an obvious fit)?

Anyone willing to write HARP Subterfuge?

Best wishes,
Nicholas

If you choose not to put it in then it may not be seen for a long time since it looks like you need a writer for Harp Subterfuge. Depends on how important it is that it see the light of day (or the dark of night) in the near future.
Also if you don't put it in would something else go in its place?

Post by: NicholasHMCaldwell on July 28, 2016, 08:54:05 AM: We are no longer bound by page count targets of perfectly divisible by 16 pages, so I don't have to find a replacement for the Nightblade if it waits on HARP Subterfuge.

Best wishes,
Nicholas

I like that.

+1 Sounds like a perfect idea!

Post by: NicholasHMCaldwell on July 30, 2016, 04:40:25 AM: Possibly build the Nightblade and if no one has volunteered to write HARP Subterfuge by the time I have completed the revision of the entire document, then the Nightblade goes in the new Wicked?

Best wishes,
Nicholas

Post by: Zhaleskra on July 31, 2016, 08:41:45 AM: I prefer the name Shadowblade, and I admit it can get confusing: a permanent magic weapon called a Shadowblade, a Shadowblade profession, and a temporary magic weapon thanks to the Shadowblade spell.

Post by: Alwyn on August 01, 2016, 03:43:52 PM: I would say to go ahead and put the Shadowblade/Nightblade into Something Wicked. To me, it seems to fit.

Post by: dranthor on June 29, 2019, 08:28:47 PM: I'm curious. the last post on this was in 2016. Did this book come out under a different name? Is it still in production? If so any idea when it might be ready for purchase?

Post by: Colin-ICE on July 01, 2019, 06:43:19 AM: Hi dranthor,

It's still in production. It is currently with me to sort out the imagery. I'm not sure how long it will take from then, but it is in the pipeline.

Hope that helps
