NEXT!
I've finished the writing side of the Wulfwald (formerly Redwald) RPG. That's now getting all fancied up and ready to be published by +Paolo Greco for Lost Pages which I believe is being hosted by +Daniel Sell at http://www.melsonia.com/
With Wulfwald done my mind has turned to my next project. It's going to be quite a big project and also stupidly ambitious (leaning heavily on the stupid side I think).
It's actually three settings, three connected settings on a Wilderlands of High Fantasy sort of scale. Hopefully modular like the Judges Guild setting too.
The three setting will be for different campaign styles: Setting one is sandbox, 2, is Hexcrawl, and 3 is a big old epic quest.
The sandbox (map/setting 1) Is a fertile crescent/Sumerian bronze age setting with the working title "The Thousand Gods of Ur- Kishhad". With the thousand gods taking the protagonist role and replacing monsters as the party's main foes. Think of it as D&D party versus supers. It will be city based rather than dungeon based.
The Hexcrawl (map/setting 2) is a weird wilderness the gets weirder the deeper into the wilderness the party explores. Definitely Fiend Folio and The Random Esoteric Creature Generator territory. Working title is "Into the Wizard-War Wastelands" It's also kind of a fantasy post apocalypse setting.
The Quest (map/setting 3) will be a quest campaign inspired by the Savage World's plot point books and what I'm calling a prog rock inspired fantasy setting. Think insectmen, rapier's and lazer lances, dragon riders, dragonfly riders, floating cities, Roger Dean, Rodney Matthews, crimson kings and their courts, veterans of psychic wars, Temples of Syrinx, and all that good 2112 stuff.
They'll all be using B/X as a base rule set but I'll be making custom classes and a probably magic systems in a similar vein to the way I did things in wulfwald. I'll also be running these online as I work on them.
Right, now I've posted this I'll have to do it! :D

Hi!
ReplyDeleteDo you know a release date for wulfwald? It seems like a really great game! :)
Also, will it be available as pdf?
It will definitely be available as a PDF and/or print. can't say when as it's out of my hands now, but hopefully soon.
ReplyDeleteHad to clear out my email, found my year-old playtest reports for R.o.W. still in Drafts, never sent (just before I left G+ for a while), so can only apologize Lee and wish you and Paolo all the best for Wulfwald. Your new epic triptych sounds fun :)

Hey, Sean good to hear from you again. Still gigging? I got a new axe. Nice little Fender Mustang.
ReplyDeleteSweet, I've not gigged since 2016 (was awful, the venue's new mixing desk was duff), band's doing an instrumental album that doesn't know what it wants to be yet.
ReplyDeleteSean Wills
Make a prog album . . . go on ya know ya wanna ;d
ReplyDeleteAny word on Wulfwald?
ReplyDeleteWhat they said.
DeleteSorry didn't see these earlier, I'm a bit lax with the old blogging. Hope to improve that this year. As for Wulfwald we've had some problems with artists not delivering, and a few other probs. so it's all been a bit depressing. That said I think Paolo is toying with the idea of going down the Kickstarter route so that looks more promising, but I won't promise anything as it feels like I've been saying it'll be out "soon" for years now.
DeleteThanks for the update.
ReplyDeleteThank you for still being interested and being patient.
DeleteI have Raedwald for Heroes and Other Worlds and think it's great. This will be worth the wait.
