The Piazza

I just skimmed through the Al-Qadim conversion to 3.5 rules on Kynn.com. I've not had a proper look yet, but thought I would pass on the good news for any 3e FR fans who wanted to use Al-Qadim in their game.

The downloads include:

• Races (124K PDF)
• Core Classes (266K PDF)
• Prestige Classes (161K PDF)
• Background Feats (73K PDF)
• Languages (29K PDF)
• Equipment (76K PDF)
• Provinces of Magic (75K PDF)
• Other Rules (95K PDF)

I'm not sure if that covers everything yet, but if anyone has used these rules, I would be glad to have your input.

EDIT: The kynn.com website has been hijacked by cybersquatters. Links replaced with links to the Wayback Machine.

Wow that all looks pretty cool, thanks for posting the links. I'll post some thoughts once I've had a read through.

The end. As far as the subject is Al-Qadim.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean here.

Are you saying that Kynn Bartlett has made a mistake?

Gordon Bennet! Anyone else have the files archived?

I'm saying that one of the very basic properties of this setting gone mysteriously missing (funny, given attention to other details, yes).
Everyone (except Pantheon League - but then, it's one more reason why other folk tend to think they're jerks) see demihuman differences only in terms of natural advantages/disadvantages. I.e. the only reason why goblinoids, ogres and mermen weren't PC races right from the start is because Land of Fate was published a year before The Complete Book of Humanoids.
The Enlightened don't give a dead fish for the squabbles of old elven/orcish gods and whatnot, and Law of the Loregiver doesn't recognize such differences, so the only "big deal" divisions between mortals are Enlightened/barbarians and Pantheon/everyone else. Isn't this one of the main points?

I currently have problems only with "Core Classes" and "Prestige Classes", the rest works.

That is correct, it is a major deviation w.r.t. the original material. Racial hatreds are non-existent in Zakhara, except to some extent among unenlightened barbarians. Zakhara is a cosmopolitan setting, where most races are supposed to live together.

Just a question, does anybody saved the "core classes" pdf? It's now damaged or somehow unavaible.
Can anybody help me?

Hi Psicokato. Welcome to The Piazza!

I just tried the Core Classes link, from the top post again and could read 13 pages out of 13.

This is via the Wayback Machine, so sometimes it is a bit slow. Maybe you tried at a busy time when their servers were not working. Try downloading it again.

Let me know if it works.
