Current one, unchanged.

+4 AS and +5 DMG when moving 4 spaces or more.

+2 AS and +3 DMG on Player Phase, with additional +2 AS and +2 DMG when moving 4 spaces or more.

+1 AS and +1.5 DMG for each space moved up to 4 spaces.

Current one but AS bonus is converted to DR from the end of the Player Phase until the next one.

I don't know but I want to see the results.

So I made a thing.

[Blade Master Model 42]

So with the player base experiencing a minor renaissance, and no sign of one materializing, I'm thinking of taking on the task (with input from Solymr and Haspen perhaps) of making a GM's guide PDF. I'd intend for it to be a one stop resource for GMs, with a lot of material that the Player's Handbook doesn't have and doesn't need to have.

So before I really get cracking on that, I'd like to know what either active GMs or people thinking about gming might like to see in that sort of resource.

As for things I already know that I want to include:
Preset leveling guides to generate enemies
A collection of monsters for campaigns that aren't centered on human/human conflicts
Notes on what makes maps work and design pitfalls to avoid
Experience guidelines
Pricing Guides, with notes on pricing flexibility based on player income
Additional item types (including equippable stat booster i.e. Haspen's rings)
Notes on Lords, including non-central support lords, and notes on Player Lords and why they're not worth doing
Notes on end game bosses, and how to avoid the anti-climax boss without building something so stupidly overpowered that it TPKs the party
Notes on building custom S Rank weapons
Notes on Campaign scope, tone, and length
Impact of class skills on enemy units
Death Rule variants and notes on the differences between each and where they belong

If there are other things that you think would be helpful to include, or if I've touched on something but you think it would require larger focus, just leave a post about it.

If you want my monster races go ahead.

A gm guide could be good.
A v1.4 encompassing the most common home rules,  fixing some of the mistakes in the rulebook, and maybe getting rid of all the unnecessary pictures could be good as well.

[SOLDIER First]

those pictures are totally necessary

[Solymr]

What about the various house rules that each GM likes to change? How do we deal with that in the book?

[SOLDIER First]

Adding common ones but reminding the reader they're free to write their own?

[Sirus]

I would read a GM guide from cover to cover.

[GiglameshDespair]

People are always free to have their own but there are some common ones most people do. And if they don't like them it's not like 1.3 would cease to exist.

[Twinwolf]

Maybe a reference section for the system so people don't have to scroll through the player's handbook?

And a section for resolving some questions that come up with any frequency.

[Solymr]

We also desperately need a shop section with prices and stuff.

[Twinwolf]

Yeah, they mentioned that.
"Pricing Guides, with notes on pricing flexibility based on player income"

On that note though, maybe try to give a sort of idea of around when characters should have access to certain weapons?

[I_Like_Pi]

I would be incredibly interested in a GM guide.

[Chevaleresse]

I feel like a 1.4 AND a GM guide would be a good idea. I'd be willing to help with the former.

[GiglameshDespair]

Spooder class!

People's thoughts, as per usual.

_{Yes, Monsterfef is still progressing very slowly towards OOC thread post.}
