Misfit Studios product updates

[dirkgentry2000]

Sorry for not popping by to say anything for such a long time.

Everything is still in the works but has been slowed to a crawl by a number of things that have seen Misfit Studios overall put on a back burner for the moment, not the least of which is preparing to get married next month. I expect to be able to put a LOT more of my time back into Misfit Studios once I'm hitched. The first step will be converting over the more important 2e content, starting with Better Mousetrap, our main rules supplement.

Congrats on getting married!

Try to Time it for Halloween. Then it will be easier to Protect your Secret Identity.

Now that the wedding is over, conversion of Better Mousetrap to 3e is underway. Aside from the converted materials, there will also be some updates and new content, as well as some new art from Eric.

Sounds like a winner, I look forward to having the print version on my bookshelf

I'll be putting it out through my print deal with Cubicle 7.

I've been looking into converting Metahuman Martial Arts to 3E for no other reason that I like the material so much I can't bear to just let it go. Among other things I found is that there isn't much difference and it looks like a lot of the material can be used as is. Although I can see at least one advantage that needs to be put back after being reworded slightly and that's Improved Block. Basically Improved Block needs language that it enhances your Fighting ability, which in turn ups your Parry defense, or apply the bonus directly to your Parry Defense. It still does not stack with Deflect but it never did.

This sounds really cool - any further plans to update other products to 3e?

Any news on Metahuman Magic and Metahuman Martial Arts? I would also be interested in Herolab files for each.

Other things have been sort of kicking my ass, including putting together my first miniatures wargame ruleset, but Eric and I chatted last week about Better Mousetrap and we both want to ramp up the attention it's getting. So, after spending a lot of time in the skills section (it was about 4 pages in BMT 2e and is now over 50 pages long, so lots of additional writing was required instead of just converting), the advantages are done and I'm into the powers.

As for Hero Lab, it's something I still want to do but, to be honest, I just haven't had the time to dig into the nuances of all the coding required.

Anything other than related to Improved Block?

Have you tried looking through Better Mousetrap the same way?

There's going to be major changes involved when I get into Metahuman Martial Arts. The way 3e power builds work will make the nature of maneuver building different, for one. As for Better Mousetrap 2e, some of the stuff pretty much slides over into 3e, but I think people will be surprised by some of the stuff that has been changed. Some of the changes are also being made out of more than necessity--some changes are being done because 3e allows them to work in different ways. BMT 3e is also going to add some new and expanded stuff, so it's not just a straight conversion. The conversion process has made it into the archetypes, for example, which include a lot of additional writing to bring them in line with the villain archetype format 3e has been working with.

I was asking to decide if I should buy or wait, but there turned out to be other reasons to get the 2e bundle.

If you find out about any interesting new stuff that having to change editions brings let me know.

[PhelanMahoney]

I have the 2E stuff and would get the revised 3E books just to see what you changed.
