[BNW] Hello

[PEGMatt@aol.com]

Hi All: 

Just thought I'd de-lurk and let you know I've been reading your posts with
some interest. ; )

Work on BNW is going smoothly, with only small speed bumps here and there,
mostly from my other Pinnacle duties. I'm expecting to have a first draft done
by the end of the month. It's looking good so far, and I hope you all really
enjoy it. 

As to character creation, I'm going with an unusual, two pronged system. You
build your standard person with a quick and easy, point-based system, but to
add superpowers, you buy them as a package. No mix and match here. All the
packages are built to make sense and provide an amount of balance to the game.

I thought of going with a strictly point-based system, but why try to
duplicate Champions? It's a game I have a lot of respect for, but these days I
find it a bit too cumbersome for my tastes. So I'm going for something a lot
easier. No min-maxing numbers. Just build your character, then add a power
package, and you're done. 

That's all for now. 

Thanks for stopping by, 

Matt Forbeck
