More likely to be "Look what the Easter bunny got me!"...

Well, hopefully it won't be that long.

But don't despair... it will be worth the wait...

That does seem to be the consenus among the playtesters.

to whet the appetite a little bit...

In an earlier post, I attached an image of one of the attack tables. Here is it again, along with an image of part of the weapon statistics table

Next up is an image of one of the pages from the magic chapter (this is from the playtester's PDF, so it includes some markup text about the tables to be inserted, even though the tables are there). It shows 3 different Folios for mages and mentats from Cyradon.

And the last image shows the professional level bonuses for some of the professions.

Thanks again Rasyr for the previews

So hopefully between now and Easter for the finished product? Sounds good......the sooner the better! Will there be a 'first draft' release like there was with Combat Companion in pdf form perhaps? (without the cover art, etc) - it's a good way to pick up some typos and errata

Another question I have is about the Grimoire you've mentioned - how is this product progressing and will it be ready for release shortly after RM Cyradon?

Could be sooner if ICE gets the permission to proceed soon. And yes, there is a possibility of a beta (essentially, the playtester copy) while the final version is pagemade. Note that I said possibility, as I am not the one to make that sort of decision.

Well, actually haven't started working on it yet, but then again, it would not take long at all to get completed. Most of the material would come from Spell Law (the primary audience for RM Cyradon is those who have not played RM before, so that will shape things a bit), with the spell lists being updated (i.e. blanks filled in like in RMFRP).

The whole purpose of the Grimoire is to have the full spell lists (to 50th level) available in one place (again, this is based on the idea that our primary audience will be folks who had not played RM before, and thus we don't want to force them to purchase multiple products to get the full lists). It is a convenience product for folks, not a "new and exciting" product.

Great news! Here's hoping you get permission to proceed soon..........and as I think I've said before, as soon as the order's up on the website for the pdf my money will be (well) spent!

The Grimoire sounds essentially everything I hoped it to be, as I never could really understand why Spell Law was re-released for RM Classic without incorporating the additions in the blanks that RMFRP had. So whilst it may not be 'new' it is certainly exciting to have those lists re-balanced, and in one place, as well as the few new additional lists. It shouldn't take too long to get completed either, as most of the groundwork has already been done, as you say. If you need any more proofreaders let me know

Rasyr-Mjolnir · « **Reply #125 on:** December 29, 2009, 06:29:04 PM »

Just to be clear - the Grimoire will not contain every single spell list from Spell Law. For example, the closed channeling healing lists and the Healer and Lay Healer spell lists will not be included. Nor does it include the Life Mastery list (lifegiving is EXTREMELY uncommon!!).

However, chances are that we will add a few more Open and Closed Spell lists, and with the upcoming Essence Companion Conversion, we could possibly add a few of those as well.

Key word there is "possibly" since we don't know for sure yet.

Here are three images that show all of the spell lists that will be included in RM Cyradon. Most are from Spell Law. Some are from RoCo I (some with slight changes, such as Stone Mastery now having a spell that summons stones to be used in other spells on the list), as well as the lists released through several issues of Express Additions.. and the spell lists from the Combat Companion.

Thanks again for these previews.

While I'm not surprised about some of the lists not being included the absence of the some of the healing lists is a bit of a surprise, as it had been said that healing is ability is relatively common (and I see that a lot of the folios include Concussion's Ways), but then there is the Major Healing list which does nicely bring a lot of that ability into one list!

Another question that I've thought about is how spells are learnt - I'm guessing that the individual spell acquisition option (max 3 ranks/level, develop 5 lists max/level, cost of 2/2/2) will be used and if so are base list spells any easier to learn like they were in RMFRP (where they were cheaper to develop than Open/Closed lists)?

Really please to see Druidstaff and Stone Mastery though - two of my favourite lists (My most recent Character is a Druid)

Yes, same as in RMX.

No, the costs are the same, however, there are maximum limits to which Open and Closed spells may be learned.

Rasyr-Mjolnir · « **Reply #134 on:** February 03, 2010, 05:13:29 AM »

Okay, things are moving forward again.

Perhaps not as quickly as some of you guys might like, but it is moving forward again.

vilor · « **Reply #135 on:** March 07, 2010, 04:01:54 AM »

Well I guess it is looking like not before the Easter Bunny arrives

Any update?

Rasyr-Mjolnir · « **Reply #136 on:** March 07, 2010, 05:40:34 AM »

PDF and softback for sure. Most likely hardback as well. Not sure about others.
