I started the Amethyst Pathfinder edition, dubbed Renaissance two weeks ago. It is still in the alpha phase, but progress has been extremely rapid. Not even two weeks into production and Renaissance is now passed 188 pages. Races, lifepaths, classes, skills, and feats are ALL done. After this, we got prestige classes, equipment, setting, and monsters. At this rate, first draft will be done by the end of November. It could come out before Ultramodern4 is this pace keeps up.

I am still hoping to maintain the freedom of character creation we had begun with the D20 Amethyst in 2008 and perfected with our recent Amethyst Evolution book. For now, I wanted to leak a few of our "alpha" phase classes. These are still being tested.
