Lately I have been working on a generic Horror RPG scenario for my Patreon.

No prob, dude. I know how much of a struggle it is as an indie publisher myself (it's a novel, but still similar)

Anyway, back OT! I just typed up and sent a proposal email to Osprey Publishing for The Angaran Chronicles: The Skirmish game! Been meaning to do it for months and finally bit the bullet and did it! Wish me luck everyone!

"The best way to lie is to tell the truth." Attelus Kaltos.
My story! Secret War
After his organisation is hired to hunt down an influential gang leader on the Hive world, Omnartus. Attelus Kaltos is embroiled deeper into the complex world of the Assassin. This is the job which will change him, for better or for worse. Forevermore. Chapter 1.

The Angaran Chronicles: Hamar Noir. After coming back from a dangerous mission which left his friend and partner, the werewolf: Emilia in a coma. Anargrin is sent on another mission: to hunt down a rogue vampire. A rogue vampire with no consistent modus operandi and who is exceedingly good at hiding its tracks. So much so even the veteran Anargrin is forced into desperate speculation. But worst of all: drive him into desperate measures. Measures which drives Anargrin to wonder; does the ends, justify the means?

Thanks for the offer, dude! But I already sent it in. They haven't gotten back to me so I'm guessing they aren't interested.

I have been playing around in two major areas for fun:

- Diceless RPGs
- New Historical Periods using my MoB as a base

I have also been trying to get acquainted with some new RPG systems to keep my knowledge of the genre growing. I picked up the G.I. Joe RPG using the Essence 20 system, and the Legends of the 5 Rings 5th edition which uses the Genesys system.

I've realised that I have 4+ publications lacking any artwork, and that AI art generation is not for me (moral reasons) and so have been trying to get art done so that I can publish something else!

Today I began the process of converting a wargame I created as a military planner into a recreational activity.

Still not sure what I will call it, but the mechanics are sound, it's just a question of fleshing out an actual rulebook rather than the one-page cheat sheet I used with the squadron. We played it often, so the mechanics are solid, it's just making sure I write it correctly.

I see this as the first in a series, because the mechanics can work in a variety of settings, all you need are new maps and some scenario-specific rules. My opening scenario is the Wars of the Roses because my family likes to play Kingmaker, but it takes too long. This should result in plenty of volunteers for additional testing.

Want a better way to do fantasy/historical miniatures battles?  Try Conqueror: Fields of Victory.

Do you like Star Wars but find the prequels and sequels disappointing?  Man of Destiny is the book series for you.

I have started a few RPG scenarios, but not finished them.

I am still dabbling with a Diceless RPG.

I am doing post-production work on a Chariot Wars game.

Ah, how quickly fortunes change. I'm still interested in putting that design together, but my schedule has been upended, so it may be a few weeks before I can get back to it.

I find that what I am working on depends on my mood and the phase of the moon at any given interval.

Today I have found myself inspired and am working on a new game involving a basic RPG levelling system, and an endless maze of traps, monsters, and something horrible behind you!

Basics are coming together, next step is the long haul of trying to draw all the prototype cards up and see whether the thing works in the slightest!

Current basics are:

Roll 5 dice for a check
Level up to change what is considered a success
3 types of check; Strength, Skill, Arcane

Looking forward to trying it out!

Over the weekend, finally purchased Affinity Publisher (and suite) since DriveThru no longer supports Scribus apparently. So spent a little time learning that layout software.

My new mate has been coming over ever so often and we've been playing a lot of the Angaran: The Skirmish Game and it's been a ton of fun! Playtested a new scenario where one side is trying to kill a newly sired vampire while the other side is trying to protect her. I played the Cultists trying to kill her and my friend played Anargrin’s team. I lost but by the barest of margins but I really had a great time. I hadn't really written down any rules for the scenario so had to improvise a bit, but ot worked out well!

Sometimes, improvisation is the best.

Then, you can go back and hard code what you discovered in the scenario later.

Finally got up the courage to post some beta rules up in a discord group for some feedback. Got lots of very useful stuff back, and gave me some direction on where I was getting a little stuck, so that's good.

Not today but I'd painted up these bad boys and made a list with them along with Anargrin and Raleas (the main characters of my novel series on the far left) To eventually playtest hordes made up of different races and weaponry as well as horde vs horde combat and maybe make a BatRep like one I posted here last year. All these minis I made in Hero Forge and I had 3d printed by an outfit down in Christchurch, I couldn't find any fantasy race minis in WWII-like uniforms, lol. The soldiers were pretty fun to paint!
