MetaScape 3 is Here

MetaScape 3 is Here!!!!

To get the latest MetaScape Rules click here:

MetaScape 3.1.0 Rules

My Pledge: MetaScape 3.x.x rules will not change enough to require new character creation for one year!

General Comments

  • I will be focusing on advancement rules and fleshing out the feats available to characters. 
  • I posted all player rules booklets and all but two of the GM booklets under the link above. The missing GM booklets still need to be updated to version 3.x.x. I'll post them later.
  • Some of the notations in the Weapons, Armor, Equipment and GM booklets are from version 2.x.x or earlier rules, but these are easily ad-libbed into 3.x.x rules for now. I'll be focusing on cleaning these up over the next several months.
  • At this time version 3.1.0 rules are not easily played without being an experienced MetaScape gamer already. For the rest of you, you can either try to muddle through and send me key questions at metascapegame@gmail.com (if I have the time/desire to answer you), or wait a few more months as I clean up the rest of the GM rules which will explain the system in detail so a novice could pick it up.
News
  • I've started a Novel set in the MetaScape GuildSpace setting and have it about half done (about 50,000 words). More on this in another 6 months or so.
  • I will give special credits in the rule booklets to anyone who runs a stable, regular MetaScape 3.x.x gaming club as playtesters. Just contact me at metascapegame@gmail.com for more info.
Design Help Wanted
  • I'm looking for volunteers to help flush out the many feats needed at this time. I'm NOT interested in new races or classes at this time as I have my hands full with the existing ones. If interested, contact me at metascapegame@gmail.com for more info.
Congratulations
  • Congratulations to Trevor Nielsen. For his years of dedicated playtesting and design help. I've moved him up in the credits to Master Playtester!

  4. Update:

  5. In addition, your character sheet design inspired my heroic persona portfolio, which uses color sort of the same way your character sheet does. Though now that I've had a chance to look at your sheets again, I realize I need to redo my portfolio

    My thanks for the inspiration

  6. Hello. Is there a way to still get Metascape? I am interested in the game since 1994. I'd love to be able to buy a pdf version. Cheers!

  7. Wow, being on here for the first time in a very long time. I had hoped for more updates! I know of a few folks interested in something a bit more than DnD, and I recalled what great fun I had back in high school playing this with my friends and how much I've missed it.
    I hope all is well, Jodar. May our paths eventually cross again.
