I really hope that you don't mind that I put it here, but if you prefer I can take the entry down from my blog (I realize that this may be important since you plan to republish it yourself; speaking of that, I would be very eager to see such a work, as I have a few White Dwarf issues with articles by you, but not nearly a complete collection of that magazine, and your articles were frequently ones I enjoyed and found use for).<br /><br />Looking at the article, it seems that I took the "…any creature not vulnerable…" text directly from you. In the <i>Players Handbook</i> (which is the version I'm using), elves are affected by <i>charm person</i>, so they would not be affected by that ability.<br /><br />I have an ongoing dream of creating a computer adventure game, so I am very interested in your audiovisual courses. Now I just need to find time to a) take them, and b) work on a computer adventure game.faoladhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691952430041394614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116962779728480800.post-69031619723978576022014-07-02T09:41:54.650-07:002014-07-02T09:41:54.650-07:00Interesting to read this after so many years.

Maybe I'll find time to go back and compare the original just out of curiosity.<br /><br />In Age Non-Human Living Matter: in some 1e versions the elves are not subject to charm person. Did you mean to include them in "... any creature which is not vulnerable to the Charm Person spell"? <br /><br />While the course is aimed a little more at video game level design than RPG level design, some of your readers may have some interest in my audiovisual course "How to Design Levels/Adventures for Video and Tabletop Games" at Courses.PulsipherGames.Com. There are more general game design courses as well, and one about writing clear rules.<br /><br />Someday I'll get a PDF book out that includes the original Timelords and my other articles from Dragon, White Dwarf, and so forth, as well as some unpublished classes and rules.<br /><br />Lew PulsipherLewis Pulsipherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11998403221823705918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116962779728480800.post-49195041442861818002014-06-30T16:58:44.272-07:002014-06-30T16:58:44.272-07:00Lords of Creation is one of the best overlooked ga...Lords of Creation is one of the best overlooked games. I love Tom Moldvay's mind so much. The rules are a little odd, but really easy to use in play, we found. For having so little written, they were amazingly flexible, too. I remember playing a Finnish-Japanese ninja with mechanical throwing knife dispensers on his wrists. Good times.<br /><br />I hadn't thought about using it in something like LoC, but I can totally see something like that. It might need a little tweaking to cover the transdimensional stuff, but it wouldn't be difficult at all to work out.faoladhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691952430041394614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116962779728480800.post-20570956997235234972014-06-30T12:16:22.072-07:002014-06-30T12:16:22.072-07:00This class would be an absolute blast to play!

Your class would be a lot of fun to use instead of Moldvay's. christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09650456794111980661noreply@blogger.com
