It's just there was a record of a rush of updates, then...silence.

Also, I haven't got the books *cough, allansia, cough* so I'd like to know, will you be putting up full rules or just 'use the normal rules, but with these adjustments'?

Staff and club special skills don't exist, even though they're mentioned on the race and class page. I know there's an other weapon special skill, but for the sake of completeness...

Also, shouldn't you have a Rain of Knives spell? (See Creature of Havoc,page 20: 'the 'demonic three'...cut down their teacher with a carefully disguised Rain of Knives spell.

Hi Pi4t,

Ill try to answer your questions as best I can.

"It's just there was a record of a rush of updates, then...silence."

Aye, this is the nature of doing a "hobby" with a full time job and family. I am a teacher, and I put this site up in my summer holidays. I set aside a week with Adam and we literally lived together that week, working on the site all week, getting as much up as possible.

Then the new school term started and im back into full teaching mode, I have to give my first priority to my job and the kids I teach :) My hobby has to come second :) It has not been forgotten or ditched, but until Adam and I can get another block of free time updates will be hold, we still have a lot to put up there.

"Also, I haven't got the books *cough, allansia, cough* so I'd like to know, will you be putting up full rules or just 'use the normal rules, but with these adjustments'?"

I don't think I would be to comfortable with doing that :( It was a thought I had, but those books are not our work, they are copy righted materials, as are the concepts. Even putting up all that I have is a little dogey, I just hope as I have put it up as a "fan site" with a no-profit situation will make it fine. But I am pretty sure the publishers would take offense to someone posting a whole electronic version of their original game rules :(

All this said as you can see we are exstensivley re-written many rules, and where we do we provide full details, not just the "new bits and changes".

"Also, shouldn't you have a Rain of Knives spell? (See Creature of Havoc,page 20: 'the 'demonic three'...cut down their teacher with a carefully disguised Rain of Knives spell."

Sure :) I can be added. I will be hounest though, I have not gone through every FF book to check for new unique spells and then incorporated them into AFF 2nd Ed. But always willing to add new stuff if its cannon in published print!

On the downloads page, the second edition GM cheat sheet actually downloads the original hero stats summary sheet!

To be honest i think some spells, the rain of knives included, are better left vague and uncertain. With the rain of knives as an example, since it is meant to have been created by three of the worlds most powerful and most evil magicians to kill another deeply powerful servant of evil (Therefore it must have been pretty powerful and pretty grisly) it would seem, to me at least, a little anticlimatic to have a 'rain of knives' spell included, with a simple 'stamina cost' next to it, allowing any old player to wield it.

...it's actually a will cost, and it has evil priest spells. After all, the list is for the enemies too :) (see personalise spell: "As you might expect, serious Bad Guys use spells like this all the time in order to enhance their image and reputation." Bad Guys use the spell list too)

The spell list is indeed meant to be a "complete list of spells".

It is not just for player characters.

The spell list is meant for "Games Masters" to also write up their own campaigns and stories, and to allow them a fun and varied list of nasty suprises for their players :)

I'm a member of the FF site, but how do we get the newsletter? And I can't find the forums anywhere!

If you're a member you should get the newsletter sent out to you already. If not, email the admin I guess to go on the mailing list. For the forums, hold you mouse over News, and click on 'Disussion Forum'. Yup, that's how they spelled it :-(

Hi Andrew.
Would you/the 'fighting fan-tales' series accept entries from other authors?

Andrew Wright
Wed Mar 17 23:23:23 2010

Hey Duff,

Sure! Zachary Carango has already written the Incredible Shrinking Night for 1 issue (February), and is currently working on another for the next issue (April), I'm doing the issue after that (May), so if Zach's not already got an idea for June (maybe ask him), then go for it. Email me at greyarea13 at hotmail dot come for more details. The only prereq is that the adventure is 25 refs, and, with rules, fits on 2 A4 pages.

cheers

Andy

Hi Duff,

It's really great to see people getting interested in the mini-adventures. I have nothing planned for June, so feel free give it a try!

Hi all,

On November Andy was so nice and put the link to Northern Frontier. Now I prepared the experimental English version translated by google translator. The quality of translation is maybe not of top class quality, but it allows the non-polish-speakers to play .

I hope you will like the game,

Best regards
