The Creative Process Of HotDC

I am not going D20 with this, as you know, and I'm being very careful to stay away from D&D with what I create. The trick is that I want to outline the rulebook the way Tom did the old red book, but with different rules, if that makes sense. The desire to stay away from their IP has left me having to come up with new names, new descriptions and so on.

However, I want to keep the feel familliar and simple, yet challenging. The renaming process has already begun, as you know, by renaming Halflings to Kuduks. The Dwarf may become a DwarKur. The desire is to create a newness to HotDC, but a familliarity. The process will take time. I've taken some time off, but I plan to get back to work soon.
