Re: What's next for the DFRPG?
It's hard to see it happening, but I'd love to see a honking great megadungeon in a glorious 300 page hardcover book, with wilderness adventuring and low-point character rules included.
Sometimes it would be nice to swing for the fences and have a beautiful artifact rather than utilitarian small books. |

Re: What's next for the DFRPG?
300 page hardback with glorious production values requires not less than $125,000 and could easily be $150,000. That's "every person in the DFRPG Kickstarter puts in $85."
Not saying it can't happen - we'll see it and give it a chance with my forthcoming huge Bestiary - but that is a BIG lift. If the DFRPG could reliably pull in that kind of backer count (and it's the COUNT that drives profitability and success) we'd be having very different conversations, I assure you, at least from my part!

Re: What's next for the DFRPG?
I wonder if reformatting the core game as a hard back might be possible. It could be the same size and then the other 300 page book could be the same size.
Mega dungeon or multiple smaller dungeons, a wilderness area and a town?

It's true! It's true! Is this the Ovinabokin? Or is the Nordlund Bestiary a separate and distinct book? |

I have a file on my computer that's 130,000 words long...which is usually good for 260 pages. And there's been more monsters since then. The book will not be space efficient, so it will be big. Quote:

Re: What's next for the DFRPG?
This is one of the things that amuses me about the Nordlond language. The -in in Ovinabokin is a definite article in Icelandic, so essentially when you write "the bokin" you're writing "the the book".
You have no idea how hard it was to not write ð and ó in the above where they should be. |

I'm feeling like it was one of his faux three musketeers books: The Khaavren Romances (The Phoenix Guards and Five Hundred Years After). So in proper language, I would say I'm making Norðlondr Óvinabókin. Or would it be "the Norðlondr Óvinabók" because the -in moves to the front? Regardless: it must mean "big book of bad grammar."

Re: What's next for the DFRPG?
It occurs to me, with all the discussion of the 150 point characters, it could be possible to do a very low points book. The traditional late teens stumble into ADVENTURE! type of thing. 25 point characters and appropriate threats. For a dungeon, I'm thinking something in the mould of Ghormengast. A crumbling old, half abandoned, old castle. The town is actually on the second level of the dungeon. Quirky characters, and odd creatures abound. Admittedly the focus would probably shift away from combat a bit but lots of room for exploration.
