It remains true that Privateer Press has no intention of publishing Iron Kingdoms: Full Metal Fantasy roleplaying game material in the 4th edition Dungeons & Dragons rule set. It also true that I have no intention of doing the work necessary to convert the existing IKRPG material over to 4th edition. That does not mean that I won’t do some of the grunt work making Mediawiki templates that may be of use to those that are willing to do the heavy lifting. The Gobbernomicon seemed like a reasonable place to do the work.
The 4e Power Template had to cover a lot of variability. Some are usable at-will, some once per encounter, some only once a day. Some are attacks, some are utilities, some have side-effects, some have multiple targets, and so on. Happily, Mediawiki’s markup language allows for “if” statements and switches and such, through the addition of the Parser Functions extension.
Though I consider the power template to be a work in progress, I have also undertaken to create a creature/NPC stat-block template. A lot of the same things recur in the game-mechanics of each monster. Everything has an Armor Class and the three secondary defenses (Fortitude, Reflexes, Willpower), they all have hit points, etc. By comparison, the monsters seem easier than the player character abilities. I guess that’s appropriate.
Please feel free to hammer at them a bit, tinker under the hood if you like, or give feedback about the functionality or documentation. Otherwise it’s likely to suffer the ravages of interest drift and laziness. Don’t make me sic /tg/ on it.
