1000buffalo Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) Howdy All, I wanted to announce my upcoming OQ setting. It's a regional sandbox, called the Bleak Coast; Witchport is one of the major cities (townships) in the region. The main book - "Whispers from Witchport" - will provide a light gazetteer, OQ articles and optional rules, cults, bestiary, npcs and more. The setting flavor I'm shooting for is West Coast Lovecraftian swords & sorcery. I've been using the rough setting for a few years now to run old school games of Labyrinth and Swords & Wizardry with Realms of Crawling Chaos, to great reception. I feel d100 games have been left out from the OSR in terms of settings and such, and OQ / d100 had the right mix of gritty and simplicity to match the setting. Plus, I love cults via RQ (and CoC). I expect the book will be somewhere in the 100 pages or less; softcover. I don't expect it to be lavishly illustrated or laid out; just straightforward, accessible, affordable, not poorly laid out. Ideally tool-kitable as well. The setting website is www.witchport.com; I'm releasing it as New Elders Publishing. Things are a bit under construction still, but frankly, I just couldn't hold off sharing here further. More to come as I get my act together. Many thanks!

Mankcam Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Sounds great! Quote " Sure it's fun, but it is also well known that a D20 roll and an AC is no match against a hefty swing of a D100% and a D20 Hit Location Table!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Evil Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 This sounds cool. Hopefully you'll give us some more information as you develop the setting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newt Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Awesome. I was wondering when someone would use OQ to create an adventure pack/setting. Excellent stuff 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...
