Revised HARP question
« on: August 22, 2012, 11:50:49 AM »
Since Dr. Nick wrote College of Magics, is it compatible with the new version of HARP fantasy?

The new version of College of Magics will be compatible with HARP Fantasy and vice versa - all the spells in HARP Fantasy were built with the revised system to appear in the enhanced College of Magics, for instance.

Best wishes,

So, would that be a no, the old CoM is not compatible with the new HARP??

Is Something Wicked being reworked for the new HARP, being dropped or is it going to be included in the new CoM?

The old CoM will have some incompatibilities with the new HARP Fantasy. However, we expect to make the same sort of arrangement with CoM as we have done for HARP Fantasy, i.e. a time-limited discount so that you can update to the enhanced version.

The monster chapters of Something Wicked (and there are almost as many monsters in Something Wicked manuscript as there were in the old Monsters: A field Guide) are moving out of Something Wicked and at least two chapters  are moving into the new HARP Bestiary. The Mystic, which was originally written (by me) for College of Magics but got cut from the original College of Magics for space reasons, will be moving into Something Wicked instead.
