Writing away for Blades & Black Magic and working on two different bits:
1) New spells created for B&BM
2) Creating the world of Rodinia
Now this won't be some huge tome filled with the minutiae of who begatt who and which pair of slippers the Queen Regent of Belsaur wore on her inauguration. Totally cool if you want (or like) that kind of stuff...but to me that feels more like a frustrated novelist at work than it does a usable game book.
Personally I want to know some basic outlines, a bit of details on notable people or a place to give me something to work with...and then stand back and let me do this Brutus. No one knows how you want to game better than you so if I can give you some thread, I figure you will stitch together a great game world you like!
So Rodinia, its a super continent that predates (I think) the pangea super continent...so that's the "world" idea. The map above is the basis I will use to construct the actual map using Hexographer.
Next on BBM book format, I am currently working Blades & Black Mag to be...pocket paper book size, just like my shelf full of old ACE Conan books and KANE novels.
I think I might still do a 6x9 version of it as well!
Anyway, work is cooking right a long!
That's the way I feel about setting too. A setting should spark the imagination, not take its place. A general outline is great. I like the pocket-sized book idea. It's different and would fit in with the classic presentation of S&S outside of the magazines.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to this. I really like the size.
