I should be joining the kick starter later this week. One of the stretch goals I was hoping to see isn’t up yet. So I figure I would throw it out there, I am looking forward to seeing Razors and Stalkers Settings on the list… lol. I was hoping for those so I had a good starting point for a light-hearted hack I have in mind already.

Well, was musing about how life was before the electro rails were build.

Some old magical and peagan style protection against the spirits?

I also imagine long obsolet wardens of the wilderness sometimes appearing in the electrified cities and offer the renmains of their ancient craft, now nearly forgotten.

– Wax Witches, who bound spirits and their energy into candles. Horrors and wonders at candlelight.

– Spirit Shepards, who walks amit the Ghosts and Souls of the wastelands, with strange beasts at their command.

– Geardomancer, who builded clockworkengines and automatons long before electricity flickered on the rails, fueling their creations with the energy of spirits.

– Sellswords, who bear ancient weapons of holy knights, whoses names long forgotten, but their weapons still bear their ancient powers

Just some idea notes before I get my hands on the final book.

Basicly weird versions of Mage, Ranger, Artificer & Paladin

I totally want a Tom Waits style dirty americana carnival/trailer park/showbiz setting or crew type.

I can’t wait to get hacking…

Speaking of Glenn Cook, magic wise and world building wise how well would blades map for doing a Garrett PI style game … Can the planning mechanic also be used sort of like an investigation mechanic?
