Newt Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Quick update on progress on The Savage North adventure pack, which is flying along. John Ossoway is finishing off the maps and has started the black and white line art, three pieces out fifteen sketches. Really nice stuff that evokes the setting.I've started work on the Settings guide in earnest. This will include a short and unpretentious Gazetteer and descriptions and stats of the local important NPCs. As well as this factual information I intend to include lots of adventure seeds so you can expand use of the book beyond the scenario arc.I've started playtesting with my group, actual play report to come, and we had a ball. The group is made up of barbarian types and so far they've won arm wrestling contests, been approached by mysterious hooded strangers and killed evil cultists (and their pet giant snake) in an underground temple to a foul and evil god. We're having a ball Tentative date for release Oct/Nov 2009.

Vorax Transtellaris Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 This sounds like a lot of fun. I do hope it will be possible for me to obtain a copy inspite of my refusal to get a credit card or use PayPal. So hopefully the online gamestore where I usually order my RPG materials will be able to get one for me. *crosses fingers* Quote RPGbericht (Dutch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newt Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 A quick web comic while we wait for Savage North to get done. Some of John’s art, which shows a manly obsession with Goblin decapitation, put together into a short strip by yours truly.

Vorax Transtellaris Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 My FLGS has informed me that they will probably be able to order this for me! :happy: So, how's things progressing? Quote RPGbericht (Dutch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newt Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 In the final stages of playtesting and balancing the numbers, getting to play again this afternoon Also started on layout, first couple of chatpters done (out off about 10). Should be out before XMAS or shortly after if Real Life mugs me with lots of XMAS parties and family time Quote Head Honcho of D101 GamesPublisher of Crypts and Things/Monkey/OpenQuest/River of HeavenThe Sorcerer Under the Mountain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorax Transtellaris Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Yay! :thumb: This has been the my single most anticipated D100-related product this year, though I may actually end up using it primarily for setting info to add an arctic region or continent to the Barbarians of Lemuria setting. I'll have to see how well the two combine, as I haven't received my copy of the new BoL book yet. Quote RPGbericht (Dutch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorax Transtellaris Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I realize I am at risk of becoming annoying but will it still be out before the end of the year? Quote RPGbericht (Dutch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newt Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 This one's slipped again, but should see light of day Jan/Feb Quote Head Honcho of D101 GamesPublisher of Crypts and Things/Monkey/OpenQuest/River of HeavenThe Sorcerer Under the Mountain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vorax Transtellaris Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 The pdf is looking very nice at first glance but I don't want to start more detailed reading until I have the actual book in my hands. Any news on the shipping of the preordered books? Quote RPGbericht (Dutch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newt Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 I'm awaiting the pre-orders from printers. Shipping should be at the end of this week, if you are lucky, early next week if not Quote Head Honcho of D101 GamesPublisher of Crypts and Things/Monkey/OpenQuest/River of HeavenThe Sorcerer Under the Mountain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
