Eating my words and a bunch of pictures

Super nerdy post this week, most of my time is going to packing and studying.  But some cool stuff happened that I am excited about. There is some Enchanted Kingdoms art at the end if you want to skip to that.

A little over a week and Nintendo, and their friends, are making me eat my words. So in light of the recent announcement of the extension of the production of the mini SNES systems I have been proven wrong. Also they have announced Octopath traveler, a Square Enix game that I am trying to keep my excitement for under control.  At this point I am back on board wanting a Switch, and SNES mini.  Dang it Nintendo. Going to have to save up for those.



Unfortunately, I dont have time to fight with blogger and get the images to line up the way i want, so i am sorrry for then all lining up in the center.  Last week Hasbro showed off the newest Optimus Prime toy. It can transform into a cartoon accurate Orion Pax:  which can combine with the trailer to form an impressive Leader sized Optimus Prime.


They also announce the dinobot combiner Volcanicus. I prefer the name Dinostator myself for a dinobot combiner but it looks pretty cool I guess.
  The main thing I am really excited for in this upcoming year of transformers though is Rodimus Prime.

 


It is a smaller Hot Rod that can transform between robot and car modes as well as combine with a Space-Winnebago trailer to be Rodimus Prime. Rodimus is the figure from the new "Power of the Primes" line that I am definitely going to buy immediately when it's available. Lots of people dislike Hotrod/Rodimus, maybe I will do a post on why I like him in spite of his many flaws.

I liked suggesting music last week so I am including the single from the Transformers tribute band Cybertronic Spree. This is their original single Cybertronic Warrior. It’s very 80s and I really enjoy it.


Moving and class are taking up an enormous amount of my time but I am really really excited to have a desk I can study and write at in the new house. I am planning to set aside like an hour a day to study and to write. Once I pass my class that will be 100% time for finishing the book.  I don’t have much more time today for this post but here are some images I have from the first artist working on Enchanted Kingdoms; Joanna Jones. The characters are:

Marina the Merfolk Knight

Cole A beast Shifter Thief

And his beast form

Lianna the Enchantress

And Kiersten the Messenger

Hunter class

In last Monday's post I talked about the Thief and mentioned how the “backstab” ability has been moved to the Hunter class. It seems logical to me to cover the Hunter next then. So the Hunter is also found in folklore and fairytales like the Thief.  In Enchanted Kingdoms the hunter will be a character who has been trained in how to survive in the wild. For combat they have the ability to focus in bows and spears or axes and hammers. They also can take a talent that alludes to their time learning about creatures in order to hunt them. This Talent, currently called Predator, lets you roll to see how much you know about a creature when you encounter it. Each creature will have a small table that shows what information the character knows about the creature/monster and it’s abilities.  Hunters start with talents that give them bonuses to hiding and to fighting side by side with their allies. Over time they can expand their abilities to deal damage and impede the movement of their targ

D&D 4e with Enchantress sneak peek mixed in

A somewhat non Enchanted Worlds update today.  I recently discovered Matthew Colville on youtube.  He creates some great videos that detail tips for running games.  He is very eloquent and has worked in the game industry so he has the ability to address games from multiple perspectives. If you are thinking about running a game there is a plethora of invaluable tips in his videos.   I bring this up because I found him because of a video that actually puts into words the things that I loved about 4 th edition.  You can watch the whole video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoELQ7px9ws&index=31&list=PLlUk42GiU2guNzWBzxn7hs8MaV7ELLCP_ Now this is a long video, clocking in at almost an hour. I watch youtube at 2x speed so its not as long from that perspective. But again it is crammed with information.  He even touches briefly on some of the strengths of 5 th edition that I can actually respect.  I will most likely come back to this video again later but for the sa

Release Schedule and Thief Class

So there have been a lot of changes in my life, goals, and schedule since my last post.  In my first post I mentioned wanting to post daily, that has been changed to weekly. There is still the possibility of a second post in a week if I think of something I really, really want to write about immediately, but that will be more an exception as opposed to the rule. This is to hopefully avoid burnout, a problem I am well acquainted with from past endeavors. A friend suggested this course of action and I have chosen to act on that suggestion. Secondly I have started a new certification course for my work that will be taking a lot more time than I had initially thought.  The course will be a major focus of mine up until I take the exam in July.  My hopes of possibly getting a Kickstarter up in November are gone, and February is much less likely.  I am probably going to shoot for mid to late summer 2018 at this point so that I can focus on my studies.   This is a frustrating situation but
