Question about Monster Hunters
Hello,
I was reading the promo material on Monster Hunters 1. Regarding the magic system it mentions, is it a totally new system, or is it an elaboration of one of the variations described in Thaumatology? |

You can always count on RPK to give 110%... ;)

Re: Question about Monster Hunters
Oh joy. Will this be another intrepid endeavor in frugality combined with an unwillingness to pay for source material?
By the way, there really is nothing to fear, his "made up from whole cloth" stuff is really impressive and constitutes a significant portion of the magic system.

Re: Question about Monster Hunters
Then stick to only using powers based magic in your games. Different systems add different feels to the game.

Merely an allusion to imbuements is all. ;)

I don't think it contributes to any kind of "de-coherence" of the GURPS system ... in fact, I'd say it provides a good worked example of some of the options in Thaumatology, which can themselves be a little overwhelming to newcomers. |

Re: Question about Monster Hunters
Thaumatology already gives you the building blocks to come up with hundreds of different magic systems fitting different campaign needs. I'm sure this won't be the last worked and elaborated example that goes beyond just saying what was picked from Column A and Column B in Thaumatology to add some new stuff to make it work smoothly.
