The Citadel at Noršvorn, the second third-party supplement for the
Dungeon Fantasy RPG went
live on Kickstarter this past Tuesday, Feb 19.
The setting is done, the encounters and interactions are being written, and I've started to talk to artists about visualizing the world described. With the right support, not only will it be great for the Dungeon Fantasy RPG, but it could be used in nearly ANY world calling for a vivid and living world with a Viking-inspired culture. Festivals, detailed descriptions of three living, breathing towns, each with their own distinct personality and needs, plus the often-neglected villages that appear every few miles even in a faux-medieval landscape!
We had an amazing first day, and can use your help getting to first the basic funding goals, and then pushing to the stretch goals for a larger book and better printing. Sean Punch wrote an entirely fascinating*foreword to the book that
every GURPS fan should read. It also hints of the next big Dungeon Fantasy RPG happening:
Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 2, which will be Kickstarting in March. If it funds, we will also see a reprint of the
Boxed Set!
Noršvorn and Monsters 2 are not connected with each other, other than both bringing new life to an amazing boxed set that as fans we all feared had failed to thrive. These projects - with at least two more on the way later this year from Gaming Ballistic, and whatever Evil Plans SJG has in store, will hopefully change that. As a wise time traveler once said: "It goes like this. The Future's not set."
In personal Gaming Ballistic News:
- I will be on Geek Gab's Game Night - for the third time! - starting at 9pm Central Time to chat about Citadel, GURPS, TFT, Dragon Heresy, Vikings, and trying to run an indie game company. Check it out here at the appropriate time!
- The Lost Hall of Tyr 2nd edition physical print proof from the US printer were approved today. Based on their projections, that project should complete something like*two months early.
- I posted a hoped-for publishing schedule for me in 2019.
- I received word from my authors on TFT projects that the first two (one from each) are over 75% completed for writing; there are ten in the works total
- I'll be headed down to FNORDCon April 6-7, and running a table. Lots of Nordlond, maybe a preview of Citadel even, and several surprises
