Announcements about the site as a whole.
The other day I posted about how a magic item adds a die to checks. The short form, I expect many magic items grant the user a talent and an extra die to roll on the related checks. Simple to implement and meets my ‘gives more options, not just a …
Non-consumable magic items have always been a bit nebulous in my mind, when it comes to Echelon. I want them to be meaningful, useful, and not boring. I’m okay with consumables like potions and the like being simple, useful, but potentially boring and not particularly meaningful otherwise; I don’t want …
I decided to look at how to represent Sneak Attack as a set of Echelon talents. I looked at the Executioner class from Iron Heroes, and to a lesser extent the Thief class. Each has its own special abilities, with about 2D6 per tier for Executioner and 3D6 per 2 …
So, ultimately and officially my NaGaDeMon 2012 bid failed, by the simplest definition of not making it to the table in November. I am mildly disappointed by this, but only very mildly indeed. While I didn’t get as far as actually playing Echelon I am in a wonderful position to …

I have a dream… Not a very profound one, but hopefully a practical one. November is National Game Development Month, and it looks like I have next week off. I want to see if I can get Echelon to the table. Reviewing my current roadmap from several months ago, such as …
I was asked a question. This is sometimes a good idea, sometimes a bad idea.
When I get asked things, I tend to answer.
I’ve been having conversations with a couple of site members, held in the posts and pages they’re working on. It seems kind of strange to be chatting back and forth in comments embedded in the post content. I’ve set up a forum to hold discussions on design and hopefully elicit …
Hello ♬ I’m that guy who keeps rambling on and on in the comments on KJD-IMC. Well, one of the guys who keep rambling on in the comments. Kjdavies finally got sufficiently fed up with me posting new ideas there to let me just make actual posts and be done …
I have been posting information about Echelon to my blog site for quite a while now and it is becoming somewhat incoherent. The blog is set up more or less train of thought (as I think of a topic and write for it, it gets posted), other posts are mixed …
