Hey everyone, this is just a quick post to let readers know that I have not fallen off the face of the planet. Real-life stuff, including family issues and work, have kept me from being as active on the site as I’d hope for the last two weeks, but I’m still here and still toiling in obscurity to get a new version of Dragon Hack together for your enjoyment.
The good news is that the Dragon Hack Version 1.75 Playtest pdf is about 80 percent complete, and should be released this week!
My current hope is to get a text-only playtest document out the door by sometime tomorrow (Sept. 1), and then put out a call for specialization ideas and specialization stunts on the web site.
Basically, all the extra details people want from Dragon Hack are more than I have time for right now. So, my plan is to release a playtest document that is only the 10 “basic” class talents and 12 traditional fantasy backgrounds this week. Nine of the 12 backgrounds are built, and all the class talents have been added to the draft document. I just need to add optional race talents and a few odds and ends and I’ll get that out ASAP.
When Dragon Hack 2.0 is officially released it will include:
12-15 fantasy backgrounds.
10-12 class talents.
2-3 Specializations for each of the class talents.
40-50 “new” spells*
So let that be a teaser that I’ll soon be asking you, the reader, to contribute to Dragon Hack’s development by playtesting it with DARPG and pitching new specializations here on the website. If I like your pitch (and the community approves), it could be included (with credit) in the official 2.0 compiled pdf. Ok, back to work. I’ll post again soon!
* Pathfinder spells reskinned for the AGE system.
Good news! Waiting for it!
Looking forward to it! Also my Conan mod is coming along now I’ve had some time free, hopefully I can put a draft out sometime next week…
Even if you con’t finish it up today, can you drop me the work in progress, my gaming group is meeting this Friday and I am planning introducing midgard to them via Dragon hack. Just in case you can’t swing it I’m going to go with Dragon hack 1.0, and we will convert them all later. Any classes to watch out for due to major changes?
And again thanks for all of your hard work on all the projects you do.

I’ve been tinkering with some Eberron features for Dragon Hack and have started posting here:

Sorry if I’m jumping the gun a bit, but I had a sudden burst of creativity!
Vaelorn,
No, by all means go nuts. I can’t wait to see what you do. I’ve been swamped with Real Life stuff lately (most of it obnoxious and depressing) so finally getting back and getting the revised playtest out the door really feels good. I’ll look over the Eberron mods this week and offer feedback over at your site. Keep up the good work!
