Hey Serf, thanks for the shoutout.

Thanks for the OP, Serf!

I saw this gem on the g+ group, btw

So those Fighter &etc upgrades, it seems, will eventually be added into the main PDF for a new version.

Can you link to these "Fighter & etc upgrades"?

It is super cool-and-good that not only is Schwalb ostensibly using post-release feedback to improve his game (because there's undoubtedly a bunch of stuff that you'll never catch in the design phase, or even in the limited-numbers playtester phase), but also that he's completely "replacing"/"patching" a core class.

Like, WOTC may have created the Warblade, but never in a million years would they have explicitly said "toss out the core Fighter and use this instead"

Is this game married to a grid or can it be run ToTM with some adjustments? After breaking the tyranny of the grid I don't know if I can go back.

The Forbidden Rules has specific guidelines and rules on how to run "zone"-based combat.

I don't know if anyone will be able to get this reference, but is spellcasting similar to Heroes of Might and Magic 1 where having a Knowledge stat of 3 means you can cast every spell you know 3 times each?

EDIT:

If you have a Power of 2:
* You can cast every level 0 spell you know three times each
* You can cast every level 1 spell you know two times each
* You can cast every level 2 spell you know once each

I can't speak for the SOTDL conversion, but the Death/Madness/Terror in Freeport cycle was one of the very first third-party adventures ever written for D&D 3rd Edition. They're a mix of investigative scenes leading into combat encounters, and one of their defining features is a Lovecraftian bent to the story, as the antagonists are cultists of the Yellow Sign.
