Just a brief post and status update.
So as I wrote over at Darkness over Dunwich it was time to pare down the work load and focus on getting something completed. So I cut away from a few projects and combined a few and came up with three.
First off, the Darkness over Dunwich (DoD) pdf journal is on track and I'm waiting for word on a fan expansion so I can complete an article on fan created content in the world of Arkham Horror. The journal will cover HP Lovecraft, gaming in particular, but other coverage as well such as films, books, etc.
Second is the pdf version of this blog. Classic Realms of Adventure will cover fantasy gaming for the D.I.Y. / low budget / no budget gamer with information on free and low cost games and gaming material along with content ready for use at the gaming table in each guide.
I'm looking at taking those two projects to Kickstarter but need to sit and study all the ins and outs that I have printed out on the subject.
And the third item is, well, under wraps.
I looked at what I have been working on and no matter how I turned it it was still a fantasy rpg rule set and I have read recently the millionth review of a new game system with the 'do we really need another D&D/fantasy rpg?' and the 'I wouldn't change to (fill in the blank rpg) but I would steal/use/adopt ideas from it into my own game'
Since I don't feel like spending hours going over a system just to have it stripped down for spare parts and the system being tied directly to a setting that integrate together I have decided to shelve it for the time being and adapt some of the material for use with systems already on the market. There may be a setting supplement in the works but I want to see how it goes.
Instead, I am turning my system design to another area that isn't quite so supersaturated and lies outside my comfort zone. And that's that all there is to say about that. I have a LOT of reading to do and research to compile for this new project so I'm glad I have the two items above as far along as they are.
So, three projects that I think I can handle...we'll see...
Anyway, hope the weather isn't killing you wherever you may be and may wild fires stay far away...
More later
