Markets & Mages is coming to Dreamation.
If you remember, this is my economic fantasy game set mainly between the adventure. You'll play a cleric or a paladin or whatever. The mainstay of the game is paying rent, and dealing with the problems of your friends and communities.
You pay the rent with your stuff, your bonds of fellowship, and your place in a community. Violence always costs you, and adventuring is the obvious way to increase your wealth.
The unequaled Anna Kreider has agreed to make sure it makes sense. She's a professional, and can give that outside perspective that I need so much.
I'm not sure I can read it more than twice more before Dreamation. I'm not sure I can do another playtest, but there's always a need for one more. I'd like it to be in better shape before then, and I sure hope it gets the people to run.
If things go well at Dreamation, I may look into a KS or print on demand situation. If its good enough for 300 page books, I'm not sure why it wouldn't be good enough for this.

Very cool. I think I remember you talking about this.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Josh Mannon . I keep double-guessing myself on whether to pay for editting. I'm pretty sure that, yes, of course, but then thinking this is just a dumb vanity project.
ReplyDeleteBut, I figure, if its going to be a real project I need a real person to look at it. One who won't spare my feelings and help me make a better game. A little money towards that seems OK.
Anyway, this game had gotten a relatively large amount of attention, and I want it to be as good as possible!
Yea, that's usually a good idea on a book of this size.
ReplyDeleteIts mostly playbooks and MC sheet. But, those're a game and matter!
ReplyDelete300 pages of playbooks?
ReplyDeleteWhat, no way. I see what happened here. I was comparing pbta games, which near as I can tell are usually not pod, to novels, which for sure can be. Its weird.
