Base Ruleset Status?

[CrazyGoblinoid]

Anyone know what the status of the Base Ruleset is? Are we likely to see any updates to bring it up to speed with 2.8?

I am almost done with what I am calling a foundations_core. Basically 2.8 4E ruleset with everything 4E stripped out of it. However, it leaves in things like the targetting and effects processing but the combat tracker/PC/NPC sheet is just a name and I removed the items as some systems items don't play as big a role. It would then be a baseline for others to build rulesets off of (hopefully as extensions). Just ironing out a few bugs now and some generic graphics (re-using most of them from the previous foundations).

Cool. However the Base had minimal PC sheets etc, to work from, would it be possible to get this in the foundation_core?

[joshuha]

Are you talking the old one actually called base or the older foundations ruleset?

Well mine is more of an updating of the foundations. However, someone could make a simple extension to it to create something similar. If I remember his had a generic sheet with just a bunch of blank space to kinda just type in whatever you wanted right?

[CrazyGoblinoid]

Yeah, pretty much :)

What's the status of this project, any ETA?

What's the status of this project, any ETA?

The foundations part is essentially ready. I am trying to complete my tokens states stuff and then roll in Dr. Zeuss' excellent layer extension into the core ruleset and then release it.

Btw, would it be possible to get sneak preview of the new foundation ruleset? Using this new foundation as a base would possibly be a better choice for an update of, as an example, Valarians d6 ruleset than using the now somewhat dated base ruleset.

[Valarian]

I don't think the d6 ruleset would take much to update from either the base or the new foundation ruleset of joshuha's. I need to have a look and see whether the old Foundation extensions I've got will also fit on to the new Foundation.

I second the request for a quick release or preview of the new set. I am about to release a new ruleset, and it would be a pity to release it using an outdated foundation just a few weeks before the new one is available.
