Now, I am a big fan of Against the Darkness, not for the setting itself, but for the system.
I just recently learned that Open Ended Games has released a relatively open license for Against the Darkness -- https://www.vsdarkmaster.com/open-license/
I also just learned about Greivous Grimoire, which was apparently released about a year ago by a company called Imaginary Turtles (love that name).
The advertising for Greivous Grimoires has some interesting things listed and I was wondering if anybody could tell me more about them.
28 Vocation Initiates (and 33 new Spell Lores) -- What exactly is a Vocation Initiate. Are they all new Vocations? Prestige Vocations? Sub-Vocations? The advertising has several poster like images that seem to indicate that they are sub-types of the Vocations in vsD. The advertising on Imaginary Turtles lists
Wizard (Arcantist, Fate Weaver, Magician, Summoner)
Rogue (Assassin, Charlatan, Scout, Swashbuckler)
Champion (Beastmaster, Eldritch Warrior, Paladin, Ranger)
Sage (Alchemist, Counsel, Jack, Stargazer)
Warrior (Adept, Barbarian, Knight, Vangaurd)
Dabbler (Doppelganger, Harlequin, Shadow Walker, Virtuoso)
Animist (Druid, Empath, Envoy, Shaman)
Some of those are obvious as to what they are but others not so much, like the Sage, and the Jack. What does the Shadow Walker do?
23 new Vocational Skills and 43 new Specialty Skills -- does it introduce Martial Arts into vsD? Does the addition of so many new skills also mean increasing the Development Points? Or increasing the DPs based on how many skills a GM adds to the game?
If anybody already has this. I would love to get more information overall before I dive into it.
