Version 1.2 of the Frozen Skies Setting Rules has been uploaded, now includes starting cash and some weapons. For general gear it's suggested you use either Deadlands Noir (if you have it) or what would be appropriate for a 1930s era setting.

After an improv holiday it's time to state whats happening with the Press.

*Alyeskan Tales is currently in the process of being redone. This includes some minor edits, improved layout and a new cover. Both the PDF and Print-on-Demand versions will be updated with the new files in the next few weeks.

*City of the Wulf is a new project thats currently pending, it is intended to be a source book that covers the city of Point Fenris located in the Wulflands. It is a city under siege with the Wulvers at its gates and even more sinister forces lurking within.

The updated print version of Alyeskan Tales, the fiction companion for the Frozen Skies setting, is now ready. You can find it along with the PDF version at; http://www.drivethrufiction.com/product/124408/Alyeskan-Tales

New month, new post time.

Conflict!

Proposing a big change to the setting, chiefly having the world engulfed in a long drawn out conflict...a sort of almost war without end. Though would like people's feedback on the idea, so please share your thoughts.

http://www.utherwaldpress.com/2014/12/conflict.html

Had a really good suggestion; Go with a cold war rather than a full blown conflict, gives plenty of potential for plot ideas. Presently thinking of calling it 'The Quiet War', also having the Great Darmonican War ending a decade prior to the 'present day' in the setting.

Foundations

Getting the basis of the overall Realms of Darmonica setting laid down with the beginnings of a timeline and a brief overview of the world as it stands.

Started work on the second attempt with Kickstarter to try and get Frozen Skies funded, hoping learning my lessons from the last attempt I'm getting feedback as I build the campaign in order to make it the best I can before it goes live.

So feel free to have a look, offer feedback, etc. At the moment its just barebones as I get the basics in place before tackling the pledge rewards.
