Yeah no doubt a tech based character would have some major limits but thats the point. A character that can just power through everything gets boring really fast. I rather play the guy that keeps getting his pda fried but has a pack of 50 in a warded backpack and sticks to his guns no matter what. Although the precog junkie is starting to build up in the back of my brain. Guy that's trying to get clean and suddenly the world depends on the visions he has, only thing is he only has em when he's flying higher than a necro at a warden convention. Sounds fun.....

This is neat.  How easy would it be to approximate the general ability set and requirements of the Champion of God with either the True Believer or Emissary of Power?  I'm thinking about creating a character from a non-monotheistic religion, though I'm still deciding between some variation of Wicca or Asatru, outside but who still fits into the same kind of role as the Knights of the Cross.  Just wondering about the best way to approximate the style and variety of abilities that the knights get using one or the other of those two character types.

The lines between those types of characters are fuzzy, and that's intentional.  You could get pretty close.

As far as playable stuff, I am just hoping for the RPG itself to be playable by the end of this year by the masses.  I saw something that said the release date was the end of 2007 and that is obviously not accurate.  Is there a more accurate one?

I think Fred has said it will be ready when it is ready... I know it sounds like a smart assed answer but I really don't want them to rush something to market and it BOMB because of play ability issues or any other reason... I am Jonesing as much as the next person to get my hands on it..

It is frustrating needing to wait an indeterminate amount of time, but I agree. We're waiting for them to make sure that everything is right. It should hopefully be worth the wait.

Correct me if I'm wrong Fred, but isn't the bleeding alpha just about, or already done?

Bleeding Alpha ended a while ago. According to one of the link's in Fred's sig, Burning Alpha is also over. (Not that I'm Fred.)

If you follow the DFRPG link in Fred's sig, you can find information on where they are at the moment. It looks like Burning Alpha is done and they're doing some in house rules tweaks. It also mentions the possibility of a third Alpha test phase, but I really hope that they don't need it (because it'll add a couple of months to the time we have to wait).
