Hi all.

After much thought, I've decided to revamp Polaris as a D&D supplement using the d20 engine. Knights will be reconfigured as a nesting series of prestige classes (Angst Knights, Ennui Knights, Nihilism Knights and Weltschmertz Knights), and the game will refocus on strategic character building and tactical combat, hence making it even more awesome.

I mean, who really cares what system the game uses, anyway? They're all pretty much the same.

One of those days, huh, Ben?

If you're serious I'll break your little finger...

Well, not really, but I'd be disappointed.

You have to admit that "Weltschmertz Knight" would be a pretty cool class name.

I'd play it. And it's not *that* out there. Any CRPG worth its salt has attack names like "BENEVOLENCE OVERDRIVE" and "CATHOLIC STRIKE SUPERIOR" and "TEXT BEYOND SUBTEXT BEYOND CONTEXT INTELLECT" and suchlike.
