Character Stats done!

All 12 villains are done. Might tweak them after I get someone to proofread them. Now I just need to write up one villain's vehicle, another ones headquarters, and various minions. Then I can lay out character sheets, and hopefully start the file for this project.

I also emailed the artist who is doing the cover with some cover concepts to go over. I emailed the artist who did the clip art about doing a new piece for the release; if they can't do it, I'll see if the cover artist can do that for me.

If I can keep this momentum going. once I get an idea of the page count, I can see if Walt (who did layout for The Triad) can give me a price quote. If possible, I want to try and do both pdf and PoD via Drivethru/RPGNow. That would be cool if my second release actually had a print version.

Off to have some Breakfast now...

Some more on my next project...

The as yet to be named book will now feature 12 villains, 4 of whom will be Nazis. I've been perusing their write ups at the Public Domain Superheroes wiki, and finding out that their write ups for Supers doesn't always match their descriptions. So, it looks like a few of them will be quite different in BASH than how they appeared in Supers! This is actually a good thing, imho. I've now completed 6 write ups, and am almost finished with a seventh. Will be working on some more tonight. Things are moving along pretty fast; it helps that these are characters that existed in the Golden Age, so there is background to work from, and not being designed from scratch. I'm pretty enthusiastic about the project, and hope people will find it worth picking up. More when I have time to post about it...

New project in the works...

Just got the approval from Chris for my next BASH project. It's a book of Golden Age villains, taken from public domain characters. It's based on similar products for the game Supers, released by Darrell Miller. He made all the character portraits available as clip art, so I snagged them, and plan on using some for this release. Hopefully it will be a 2 volume release, each with about 10 villains, and maybe a few hero stats. Each character will have adventure seeds to go with them, so you can insert them into a campaign. Paper Standees will also likely be part of the project as well.

I've all ready statted 4 villains, so I'm almost halfway there.

Depending on my motivation, I might attempt to try this as a PoD release as well through Drivethru/RPGNow. Have to see what the layout person I use has to say about that.

More info when I have it.

Thoughts on next project and Wayne Foundation Bundle

So I've been contemplating my next project. The one foremost in my mind is a plot point style campaign for BASH & M&M (and maybe V&V, if I ever get approval from MHG or FGU) featuring an invasion during WW2 by forces from various alternate futures. If you've read some of my previous entries, you've seen sketches for some of the art done by Russell Boyd for that. I'm also considering using some clip art of actual Golden Age comic heroes that have been release by Darrel Miller as part of his Public Domain Supers line (for Supers!, another cool supers rpg).

In addition to that, I've been looking over some old notes I had for a short game of Enemy Gods I ran once featuring a setting with Polynesian inspiration. I've been toying with possibly revising that for use with Barbarians of Lemuria, and maybe Savage Worlds down the road.

Lastly, I donated the G-Core version of Adversaries: The Triad to the upcoming Wayne Foundation charity bundle on Drivehthru/RPGNow. The Wayne foundation works to combat the exploitation of children by the sex trade industry. I consider this to be a good cause, and am glad to be able to contribute something, no matter how small, to this charity bundle. At this point, the bundle has around $200.00 worth of merchandise included prior to it's release, and will go for $20.00. The G-Core core rules will be included, which is why I submitted the G-Core version of Adversaries. Other games included are The Secret Fire and Invulnerable (another cool supers rpg whose development I followed originally on Rpg.net. The Bundle will be released on May 4th, so please, help support a really good cause. If you want more info on the Wayne Foundation, their website can be found here

The Triad now available for BASH!

So this morning I uploaded the files for the BASH version of Adversaries: The Triad. This has been a long time coming, but it's finally out! You can get it here

Here's a look at the cover; it's the same as the G-Core version, just with the BASH logo. Now to finish work on the Supers! version

Adversaries: The Triad now available for G-Core!

So RPGNow posted Adversaries: The Triad this morning. At long last, my first rpg product is available for sale! Hopefully the BASH version will follow in less than a week.

One more Adversaries update, and some art for another future project

Walt is making what should be the final correction to Adversaries: The Triad this weekend. He also has all the BASH character sheets/stats, so he will likely start on that when he has time after finishing the corrections on the G Core version.

In the meantime, I've been slowly putting together an idea for one of my next projects. Russell Boyd (known as Dustland on the BASH forums) has been doing some art for me, and damn if he hasn't come up with some kick ass stuff. I've been going with a retro-future vibe for some vehicles. I've got some B&W sketches he did, so I figured I'd share them:

As you can see, it's some kick ass stuff. Not sure if this will follow up The Triad, but it is in the works!
