Creation Tips v3 forward

Katsuni··7 votes·1,083 views

Yay, boards instead of forums. Well, whatever. For those who have need for the Creation Tips v3, here's the forward back to the old forum, since I'm not going through the hassle of converting it onto a board format instead. Poor thing probably couldn't handle the guide anyway.

As with before, I hate asking for upvotes, but if you want to maintain easy access to the guide and not have it locked down by a spammer with 100 alts, please upvote this post so I don't have to make it out again as I sadly just don't have the time to babysit the... "forum" as I used to. Even if it's board now.

From this point on, if you have any questions, concerns, complaints, death threats or candy in your van, please leave your notifications of such in this post and I'll try to get back to you as quickly as possible.*

*by 'as quickly as possible', I mean "maybe in a few weeks to months". Sorry, I'm working like 80 hour work weeks again so I don't have a whole lot of time to throw at things like this compared to what I used to be able to muster. I'll still try to get back to you regardless, it just may be awhile!

I'd really like it if you would convert it to the boards. Easier on my eyes.

Thanks from Derek

It's a bit more complex than just a matter of copy/pasting, I'm afraid. Still, I'll look into what I can do about it. =3

Thanks much.

Would you be willing to email me ([email protected])? I have a few concepts that I need help with/am working on and I'd like for you to check them out.

I'd like to help, but right now I'm concentrating 100% of my design attention upon the new business I'm building. On the plus side, you'll probably directly benefit from such within the next few months as I'm building a brand new tabletop RPG system and brand from scratch that's solving a lot of the issues that even TSR/WotC have failed to fix for decades. More than that... I actually have the rights to the League of Legends TTRPG which is looking like it'll be ready for publishing in about 18-24 months and will be free to acquire as a PDF. I'll still have to discuss expansion content and hardcopy sales with Riot at a later date, but it's good news for LoL players. =3

Regardless, my point is I'm busy as hell right now so I really flat out don't have the time to work on reviewing/working with individual champion designs at the moment I'm afraid. I'd love to, it's fun to do, but I'm already working 60+ hour weeks on this as it is, and with a company website set to release in the next few weeks, my hours to spend on fun stuff is drying up pretty quickly.

If I get any real time to work with beyond copy/pasting the original guide into the new format, I'll try to answer questions, but it's not looking like it'll be any time soon. I know it's not the answer you want to hear, but hopefully it's one you'll accept is worth the sacrifice. ^.^

Wat. Is this what I think it sounds like? You're working on a LoL Tabletop RPG? But you can't look at my champ concepts?

That's not the answer I wanted but it's the answer I want now. That's extremely exciting. If there's a beta version of the PDF I'd love to look at it.

Also, if you wouldn't mind accepting my friend request on League, that'd be nice.

Edit: Is that company site you're talking about for the LoL TTRPG? If it is, what's the URL? I really want to see this.

Cheers and Good Luck, Derek the Ferret

Not yet; I'm developing the precursor base system first and then will be making a second system specifically devoted to LoL based off the original, similar in scope to say... Ravenloft compared to D&D or something along those lines. The idea is that the primary one I can work with as I need, test what works best and can develop at the pace I need to and generate revenue off of. With that revenue in place, I can then adapt the core concepts to the framework I have laid out for LoL already and provide it free of charge without sacrificing quality in the process.

As such, the LoL site won't be up for probably about a year, and it's unlikely to be ready for release for months after that. This order of design just makes sure if I screw up, I only screw up on my own company and don't mess with Riot's IP until I have a strong enough framework to do so with minimal risk.

Still, it'll be awesome when it's ready, but it's not going to be for awhile. There's a loooot of work in between now and then. I'll have more information available in the coming weeks. ^.^

Well, I be on the edge of my seat until I can see it. ;)

Since you were curious, here's a link to the current design update: http://saorsa.info/

Current estimates for the core system to be completed is about Christmas, give or take a bit, and I'm aiming to have the derivative LoL game ready by the 4th quarter of 2016. Yeah, it's like a year and a half out, but I need to make sure it actually works properly instead of just putting in a mediocre effort or not making use of everything LoL has to offer. Quality takes time. ^.^

I'm definitely going to check it out. I really like Pathfinder and roleplaying games in general. Also I might be able to convince some people to try out the system if playtesting is necessary. And if there's any way I might be able to put my sort of print on the game, I'd love to see a non-dragon reptillian race. Akin more to Lizardfolk than Kolbolds.

Hi Katsuni! I have a question-- is there any important material in the mobafire version of the champ tips? I was going to read, but I figured if it was the same material I could save myself some time!

Here's the second thing. I've created a basic compilation/structure from the original forum post on word/PDF format. Got table of content set up, bolded important words, phrases, word indexes, etc. No major edits.

My goal in this would be clarity and accessibility-- I know Derek mentioned converting it to boards, but I figure just creating a word version would be easier. For me this is important because it lets me print it out: I lead discussions about system analysis with my friends, all of whom play league, but I have never been able to fully delve into the material due to lack of a physical copy.

Although it's a personal project, I would be happy to share with others...more than happy really, because not only am I going to end up putting a lot of work into it, but I also always enjoy spreading your work-- and sharing with more than just my 10 or so friends would be epic.

In terms of structure, right now I've seperated the v3 into a beginner's guide and an advanced guide. The beginner's guide includes the medium-length summaries, with appropriate structure edits (~26,000). The advanced guide is the primary text (180,000).

The mini-summaries are currently in both.

The beginner's guide is almost complete-- would love to show you.

Anyway, I know you're busy, but if you see this let me know what's up! ~L
