    Default What is Amythest (D&D 4e supplement)?

    I mean, I've heard of this little supplement by Goodman Games, but what's in it? What is it's setting, it's variant rules it's quality?
    My Homestuck role is Thane of Space of the Land of Insanity and Frogs.

    The Malkavians would be proud.

    According to Amazon, it's sort of kind of a Shadowrun type setting where magicv and fantasy come back to the real world.

    Can't tell you much beyond that, sorry.

    By who? Shadowrun?
    "It doesn't matter how much you struggle or strive,
    You'll never get out of life alive,
    So please kill yourself and save this land,
    And your last mission is to spread my command,"

    Slightly adapted quote from X-Fusion, Please Kill Yourself

    Shadowrun-like. Just going off the description, it takes place in the modern day, has no cyberpunk, and is basically modern world + magic.

    From what I saw of it the last time there was a thread about it, it was more like: Near-Future vs Magic. So, yeah.

    Right, because it's never been done by anyone but Shadowrun.

    *gasp* You're right! Square Enix should be sued for that idea, too! And J.K. Rowling, for having a tangentially similar concept!

    In other news, people have suggested suing Terry Pratchett for plagiarism, because his books contain a wizard school just like in Harry Potter. Oh noes!

    Does anybody know the general quality of it? I'm always interested in different settings for things, and I've got a lot of other 4e material sitting around, does it mesh well with officially published stuff?
