Barbarians of Lemuria – Mythic Edition

Just under a week for this one to run, this is the Swords & Sorcery game by one of my favourite British designers Simon Washbourne brought bang upto date and with art by a cadre of artists including the talented Peter Frain (who is currently doing the art for River of Heaven ).  Its a well formed Kickstarter, and you get the full draft of the game as soon as you sign up.  Recommended.

Lots of OpenQuest goodness just released!

Satisfied, victorious, warm and cuddly are all terms I would use to describe how I’m feeling at the moment. Why?

Well a big chunk of OpenQuest releases went live on DriveThruRPG.com for you good folk to buy yesterday.

Life and Death:  An expanded version of my post-apocalyptic fantasy setting now with three adventures (The Dust of Eternity, Dead Pot Country and Life & Death), more ready made concepts and details of the Guild of Treasure Hunters. Also completely playable with both OpenQuest Basic Edition or Deluxe Edition.

OpenQuest Basic Edition: A short concise no art version of the game in 6 x 9 inch format, available as a free pdf or low cost book. Ideal as quick reference version, a try before you buy OpenQuest Deluxe, or as a self contained game.

The Savage North (Directors Cut): Back on sale now after a quick spell offline as a missing map was replaced.

PLEASE NOTE: If you bought a printed copy of The Savage North before I took it off line to replace the map, please send me your DriveThruRpg.com receipt to newt@d101games.com and I will send you a replacement free of charge.

So now there’s no reason not to give OpenQuest a whirl.

SPREAD THE WORD!

Fighting Fanatsy Fest

Strongly tempted by this although with my con attendance already booked up this year, I might have a problem justifying it with the missus.

As well as Steve Jackson & Ian Livingstone, Fighting Fantasy Artists Russ Nicholson, Chris Achilleos and Tony Hough will be there and Arion Games will be running sessions of the Advanced Fighting Fantasy RPG.

Oh and if the flyer doesn’t get your blood flowing 🙂

The long awaited Crucible of the Dragons for OpenQuest is now available via DrivethruRpg.com

A 260 page sandbox setting/adventure book for OpenQuest, but broadly compatible with other D100 rpgs, inspired by Ancient Greece, Clark Ashton Smith and Ray Harryhausen monster movies!

The Guild of Adventurers

This is for OpenQuest and is in the upcoming, updated version of Life & Death.

A rag tag group of tomb raiders, thugs for hire, dubious sorcerers and all manner of social misfits who would rather go down a long abandoned underground complex risking danger and death in search of fame and fortune than do an honest days work.  Early on in the days of the profession someone thought it best to create a Guild to manage its members, provide some sort of ethical backbone and curb some of the worst excesses of its members in civilised areas (outright theft, banditry, kidnapping, murder etc).

 The lower ranks of the Guild, affectionately known as the Rabble, are sent on quests alongside more experienced members into long lost ruins of the Lion Empire and other civilisations that came before it. Their rewards are mainly the material: the Gold and Gems that make up the majority of the loot. The more experienced members take their share as the exotic items rumoured to be imbued with ancient magics.

Updates from the Sorcerer

OK so at some point I’ll stop twittering on about product updates or Kickstarter updates, but today here’s two important ones.

  • OpenQuest 2 March 2014 update – if you are interested in what is happening with the various books that were promised as part of the OQ2 campaign (good news contained within update).
  • River of Heaven Kickstarter in its final day – so last chance to support it and get yourself a good deal in the process. It could do with a bit of help since we are within spitting distance of the next stretch goal ( full colour interiors ).
