Back to Work
Posted by: Ruel Knudson in Developer Blog, E-RPG General Development, Fantasy SagasWell, the moving is all but over. Now I am back to writing again. Furthermore, I have editor(s) for my next two releases. So coming very very soon you will have the full creature’s book and a mini-adventure I am adding to an entire collection of these mini adventures which we are calling Sidetracks.
Sidetracks are mini adventures for plug and play into an adventure, quest, or campaign. They are kind of like one-shots, except that they are generally designed to fit into an existing campaign. They are designed to take about 3-6 hours to play through, and are focused as I kind of detour from the overall plot. They are small, about 5-10 pages each. They will be released seperately in PDF (and bundled of course once the collection is complete). They will also be available in hardcopy, but only as a collection. Each collection will contain about 8-10 sidetracks. These sidetracks will be compiled based on a theme. For instance, you will have sidetracks in town, on the road, at sea, in space, etc.
This also gives you a window into their function. They are there to break up the ordinary journey or downtime. They add some depth to the world that is independant of the overall story. Furthermore, they are largely just short stories. They are designed statistically for E-RPG but these stories work with just about any system.
So far, I have one sent to the editor today, and another just about wrapped up. Undead creatures is being edited this week, and I am supposed to recieve the artwork very soon. Desecration is running along just fine and I have just about all my testers lined up for some very secret projects coming by the end of the year.
This is a good time for Ironwood, or at least to be me. I’m inspired, and productive, two things that go very well together.
Happy Gaming!
