Chronicle City

Tarostar — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 11:05:27 +0000

We are very pleased to announce that Chronicle City, founded by industry veteran Angus Abranson, will carry Radical Approach books. What this means is a much bigger distribution and getting the books into your local gaming stores.

Angus Abranson has a lot of experience and with several great roleplaying lines already signed up it looks set to achieve its tagline as “The New Capital of Gaming”. Geek Native takes a look inside Chronicle City in an interview with Angus Abranson, and a promising new free quarterly e-magazine called The Gazebo has also just launched with an . . . → Read More: Chronicle City

Fantasy Dice

Tarostar — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 19:13:25 +0000

Dare you wake the dragon? Fantasy Dice is a roleplaying system to make gaming fun without dumbing it down. Fast paced, highly tactical and low effort for use with your own games. Create NPCs with a single stat. Roll dice, but skip the math. Everything is fast and simple, but there is plenty of depth and tactical choice. There are social conflict rules. Advise for how to run your games and much, much more.

Crimson Exodus is a complete roleplaying game using the Fantasy Dice system with a sword and sorcery feel to it and gives you a big sandbox with everything you need to play. Don your . . . → Read More: Fantasy Dice

Indiecon

The Crimson Exodus adventure Four Orcs and a Dwarf got some great playtesting this weekend for the four day roleplaying convention at Indiecon in Dorset (UK). A really friendly and fun convention supporting indie games. The perfect place to try new ideas and learn from other creative minds.

The Four Orcs and a Dwarf adventure for Crimson Exodus prepared for the first session of the con.

Fantasy Dice One Page Primer

Tarostar — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 19:49:31 +0000

A one page primer is now available for download for the Fantasy Dice roleplaying system used in Crimson Exodus and soon to be published as a stand alone system.

This is in no way a complete representation or summary, but intended to explain – briefly – the most fundamental concepts that everything builds on.

It does showcase some of the new features that will be presented in the updated version of Fantasy Dice. In this particular case special roll results of exceptional failure when rolling all ones, and exceptional success when rolling three or . . . → Read More: Fantasy Dice One Page Primer

The Crimson Exodus Setting

Tarostar — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 19:51:01 +0000

A couple of posts back I mentioned the new Fantasy Dice book that will present the system used in Crimson Exodus without the setting.

However, in this post I want to talk briefly about the Crimson Exodus setting. Crimson Exodus does cater for a wide range of fantasy gaming styles depending on where in the world you set your campaign. It leaves room for you to add your own ideas and make your own interpretations. You might play barbarian raiders plundering the Empire and hunting trolls, pirates terrorising the Rocky Seas, intrepid explorers scavenging the dangerous ruins of the Serpent Empire, orcs invading the Heartlands, . . . → Read More: The Crimson Exodus Setting

Crimson Exodus review on RPGNet

Tarostar — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 18:38:20 +0000

This book is crammed full of stuff. It has all you could need in the core, and then some. And even with all of the wonderful ideas, it is still written as to not be overly done. A GM has lots of room to play with the setting and system.

Crimson Exodus has a review up on RPGNet by Steven Lindsey. This is the second review of Crimson Exodus after David Vershaw’s review on RPGNow, and Steven has written a comprehensive review that touches on each chapter of the book.

I want to quote the description of the core . . . → Read More: Crimson Exodus review on RPGNet

Redesigned Fantasy Dice Character Sheet

Tarostar — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 10:14:00 +0000

The Fantasy Dice roleplaying game system used by Crimson Exodus is being edited for release as a stand-alone game system. Fantasy Dice is quite unlike any other system I have come across, and by releasing it as a separate book I hope it will encourage people to try it for their favourite setting. Also, if you have written your own setting or adventure, and you are looking for a game engine then Fantasy Dice might be for you.

As part of the new Fantasy Dice book I wanted to see if I could improve on the character sheets. They will . . . → Read More: Redesigned Fantasy Dice Character Sheet
