It’s been a while. I know, I know, I said that I would post soon, but then I got sidetracked. What did I get sidetracked by? Not exactly sure. I can’t remember. I’m sure it was important (hopefully). I lost my train of thought and had to reread the previous posts. It seems that I … Continue reading
So, last post I sort of just rambled about whatever came to mind. Ideas for differentiating nations. This time I’m going to actually try to figure out some rules instead of just spitballing ideas. So, let’s start with the big picture: what sorts of npc organizations will there be? Largest classification would be the races … Continue reading
Part of me wants to edit the hell out of the beginning bit. It really has some terrible formatting, and doesn’t really explain much of anything. I’ve been browsing through some of my RPG rulebooks, looking at their introduction chapters to get a better idea of how to open. From reading those, I realize that … Continue reading
What’s the first thing you do when you open up a board game? Set up, of course. And the first part of setting up? Laying down the board. Well, in Tales of the Fallen, the same thing is necessary, but it takes a bit more time and effort (especially your first time around). You need … Continue reading
I feel myself drawn back to work on Tales of the Fallen, that darn game I’ve been working on for 7 years now. I’m going to try something different, though, and see how it works. If you look at the top menu bar of my blog you will see a link. If you click on … Continue reading
So, my current writing plans. Let’s start with the declaration that November is my favorite month. Not only is it the wondrous birthday of my gorgeous girlfriend Shivers, it’s also National Novel Writing Month. I’ve participated every year for the past 3 years. I’ve only succeeded once (my first year). Let’s jump from that to … Continue reading
I spent an hour writing an awesome post talking about what I’ve done today, only to accidentally close my browser and lose everything. So I’m going to try and type it out again. But it was better the first time, I guarantee it. So however good this post turns out to be, multiply it by … Continue reading
I just finished organizing all the notes we had on Tales of the Fallen. 157 pages total. Now comes the fun part. Now I get to actually write the rules. So, first up on my agenda is to try out the world generation rules I have in pace currently. I’m not going to change them … Continue reading
So that brings us up to current day. Warforged, or the idea of it, lasted us through high school. We kept tweaking it, spending weekends talking about rewriting it but never actually doing it. Finally, my Freshman year of college, I decided to finally make an effort to write it. One of the most difficult … Continue reading
Freshman year of high school, in my spanish class, I met a kid named Will. Will’s hobby was a lot like De-somethings, but so much cooler. He wrote stories. He would create a world, mostly with words but with some maps sprinkled in for good measure, and then create a hero, or a band of … Continue reading
