Well, thank you for asking, my dear viking!
The document I am working on under the code name "Mordred RPG" is a hommage Blackmoor, and overall,
Arnesonian fantasy. - Like somebody who has played it, investigated it, and written for it for seven years would do.
Right now, the last draft doesn't include any stats, though, so it will be a setting book only,
much like the Kingdoms of Kalamar core book for 3e.
The setting... A secret. But let's put it this way, everybody who likes Blackmoor, and who likes what we do here is gonna like it.
Probably. :wink:
In any case, from now on, I will periodically release previews for this over the next few months.
There is still A LOT open in the air, but what I can promise is, unless I get sick, or die, or whatever,
I'll release this over the next twelve months.
But Rafe, Rafe, where will you publish it?
Not sure, to tell the truth. So far, I have only realized two things:
1) RPG publishing is a total non-profit business.
2) I want to keep the rights to this; creating a world that is free from copyright crap is the whole idea of the exercise.
So, whichever company out there can meet MY requirements, them I will grant publishing rights.
Also, and most importantly, I am looking for a way to make it legal for people to write for the setting
- and cash in their own money independent from me - while I retain my rights as an author.
Not sure if that is SO clear to you: This would effectively mean that I donated an entire setting to the gaming community;
if that is, at all, legally possible without some asshole shark taking over my creation, I will do so without hesitating.
Lots of stuff to do, lots of stuff to come.
In case you have any questions, ASK away, folks!
Mordred RPG just got real. :wink:
