Today I'm working on an adventure idea I've had kicking around for a while. The premise is a sandbox-style pointcrawl of a valley that is home to an exploitative mining guild, which I'm envisioning as a #BronzeAge re-imagining of the early 20th century West Virginia Coal Wars. Factions include the guild, a nascent worker's union, and a local government hamstrung by the guild. It's a bit ambitious, but I'm very excited to flesh out this setting and see how it turns out

The first piece of our companion setting to The Years of Adventure, Teia's Realm, is now available on the Archstone Press Patreon! This is a player's guide, meant to serve as an introduction to the setting, with everything you would need to create a character in this magical bronze age world full of meddling gods, sprawling empires, and untold mysteries. Like the base game, this guide will be updated monthly on our Patreon.

#TYOA is a rather large game, with a lot of optional systems that you really only need to learn when you’re ready to introduce them to your game (you don’t need Domains if you don’t want them, you don’t need Mass Combat if it never comes up, etc). Trying to explain how to learn these systems, and how it ties in to the overarching philosophy of the game and how to incorporate all of this to run a sandbox game for your players, is my goal for the intro of the game. It’s proving difficult

The new players are all coming from exclusively 5e, so it is a bit of a test of how well I can intro people to my system (#TYoA) which is more of the #OSR/#NSR style. Hoping i can help the new players see the potential of a world beyond 5e

https://itch.io/jam/osr-june-jam2 looks like a fun little jam for #OSR and #NSR folks.

Hoping I can submit a little one-shot for this, I’ve been looking for an excuse to see a small project through to completion. Just gotta finish up some administrative stuff relating to a larger project ( #TYoA ) first.

Either way I’m excited to see what other people submit for this!

Finally getting a chance to read through #BRP and I’m realizing how much my WIP game The Years of Adventure really is just an unholy mashup of BRP and the #OSR. It’s not too surprising, because #Pendragon and #RuneQuest were big inspirations. It is a bit surprising though, because I haven’t actually played either of those games aside from the Battle of Dangerford solo-scenario for RuneQuest, I’ve mostly just skimmed them and listened to Actual Plays

One step closer to making The Years of Adventure a real thing today! Just spoke to a lawyer this morning about writing up an operating agreement for the Co-op that we will be publishing under (name still TBD), and it seems very promising. Also just finished up a new version of our rules PDF with a bunch more of the first draft text (including domains + mass combat + seafaring/naval combat). Feeling very excited!
