Re: Originals vs. Clones

I came to OD&D via S&W WB. I love WB which is why I made FMAG. A couple years ago, I finally made a print copy of OD&D and that really got me more into the original. I tend to only read books in physical format. So now when I read FMAG, the differences between it and the original are more pronounced...

Re: White Box:FMAG, looking for errors

When I had the 2nd printing layout done by a professional, I thought The partnership would last a long time to cover all future updates. That did not turn out to be the case. So very small changes should work by just updating the PDF. But any big changes like adding sections or removing sections, co...

Re: White Box:FMAG, looking for errors

The wandering monster checks are indeed different. There are a lot of rules that are slightly different throughout the game. I have thought about doing a bigger update to make it closer to OD&D in a lot of respects but at that point it would be getting Away from the being a clone of S&W WB. It was o...

Re: White Box:FMAG, looking for errors

The updates and fixes will be happening very soon so if you folks happen to know of any other issues get them in soon!

One of the fixes I’ll be making is in the ability generation section. It currently has a point swap in 1 for 1 basis. That was a typo and should be 2 for 1 basis.

Re: WB: FMAG, make it closer to OD&D?

Ha. Oh man, I thought I deleted this post! Oh well, it’s out there now. I djust not really have anything more to say right now. Which is why I deleted it. Well thought I did. I may just do small things with monster stats and spells, that can easily be incorporated into the next update. If I can ever...

WB: FMAG, make it closer to OD&D?

When S&W WB came out it had to stay close to S&W core and it was still early for clones and they deviated quite a bit to make sure the WotC hammer didn’t come down. I have been thinking about the next update and how I wish the game was closer to the original game. Things like making sure the monster...

White Box:FMAG, looking for errors

Hi Folks,
I would like to update the rules to fix any known errors. If you got ‘em, post them here.

There is a free 7 day trial for Indesign that I will take advantage of so I can update the rules. So I I’ll wait awhile to collect as many issues as possible and then update it. Thanks!

Re: White Box Rules Update/Re-design

Hey, I didn't know that!

I reached out to the person who did the layout to see if he'll export it as an EPS for me. If not, perhaps I'll put a call out on G+ and see if anyone would do it for me. Because fortunately I have the Indesign file, I just can't do anything with it.

Re: White Box Rules Update/Re-design

Thank you for these Merias. I have thought about a 3rd update/printing but I’m not sure if I’ll do it. Because unfortunately I had the layout done professionally for the 2nd print, which was done with Indesign (which I don’t own) so I would have to hire someone again for updates and I’m not making m...
