Nasty, Brutish, & Long - Prototype
Added 2021-03-24 20:04:20 +0000 UTCHello Revolutionaries!
Attached to this post are the prototype documents for a new RPG I'm calling Nasty, Brutish, and Long. It's an open world game of lives made complicated by some sort of revolution. It could be the dawn of the industrial age, the sudden appearance or negation of magic, or the death or ascension of the gods!
I'm using the Forged in the Dark engine again, but with a lot more changes and innovations to the core formula. I was also inspired by Luke Crane's The Burning Wheel. I read through that game last month, and while I love how many diverse characters and stories it can generate, it's honestly just so... complicated. I initially wanted to get some folks together to play it, but the more I read the more I dreaded keeping track of everything, teaching the rules, etc. I think a lot of creativity in general comes from seeing something, wanting something from it, seeing it fall short, and thinking you can do better. So, this is my attempt to emulate a similar sort of open world medieval game, but with streamlined rules.
You can also get a copy of the digital character sheet here.
My goal is to have a smaller RPG with this game, so the final product will be available to $5+ patrons. I'm also working on another RPG that will likely be a bigger title. Hoping to have a prototype of that ready for next month.
Thanks again for your support!
