I may be dropping the RTF idea. Converting the text down to something viewable in most RTF viewers was more of a pain than I’d expected. It might have been easier if I’d started with RTF and then done layout :-(.
At any rate, only two classes have been submitted for inclusion at present, but there are others linked in this thread. So far we’ve had quite a bit of variety: some that are excellent fighters, others that are strong casters with enough fighting to be dangerous.
I have one submission in mind. From there to paper there is a long way, but I will make it happen before the deadline.
As a bonus, I am thinking on incorporating the participating classes in the character generator. At this point there are no templates submitted for the contest, but if anyone adds that information it can be incorporated too.
Time is running short, and that is the motivation I needed to start putting things together. This is my first custom class, so please let me know if there are any errors with the math. I have made a gnome 2, fighter 2, with 2 swaps. http://zapicm.blogspot.com/2013/03/my-first-acks-custom-class-gnomish.html
I am not very familiar with the OGL, please add whatever is needed to share it.
Just checked in to see how this was going, and noticed your status listed for my entry: “Will be in the PDF when I have appropriate copyright information.”
Not sure what that means, exactly. Perhaps this is related to some quotes that I included from fantasy novels? If so, the sources are cited, and they are relatively short passages that should not require copyright. If that doesn’t satisfy you, then just remove the quotes.
