LivingTriskele Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) For anyone that might be interested, I've just posted a two-chapter preview of a monograph I've been working on in the Downloads section (under the Modern category). Here's the blurb: Welcome to Majinine, a multi-planar RPG setting for Chaosium’s Basic Roleplaying that crosses genres and presents numerous possibilities. Full high-fantasy campaigns involving eldritch citadels, and phantasmical, fey beings are just as appropriate here, as gritty inner city occult horror narratives, set to the backdrop of a 1970s where hippy sorcerers conjure forgotten gods and reality crumbles, literally falling back into the ideas from which it came. Trapped between are conjurers that spin arcane magic with rudimentary technology in hope of making clockwork wonders that may someday peer past the boundaries of existence. Posted here is a preview of a monograph I've been working on for years. My intent has been to create a consistent and cohesive, multi-planar setting that takes advantage of BRPs generic possibilities, allowing for rich dimension-hopping campaigns. These two chapters cover a broad overview of each of the planes in the Multiverse of Ve’lehsfar, as well as character generation guidelines for Majinine campaigns. http://basicroleplaying.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=494 Edited January 13, 2013 by LivingTriskele Quote "If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales.

Puck Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Wow! This looks fantastic. I am looking forward to more. Quote 294/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivingTriskele Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Thanks! It's a work-in-progress. It's probably going to go through a few subtle changes before I'm finished. I'm still fleshing out the alternate Magic and Sorcery systems for example. It's sort of like my Silmarillion Quote "If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales."

Mankcam Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Wow! I wasn't expecting such good production standards, and I really love the flavour of the setting, it reminds me of pulp sword n sorcery novella from the late 70s. This is an interesting find, and certainly one to watch out for further developments. Good work!

LivingTriskele Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Hi RosenMcStern and Mankcam, thanks for the kind words. I was a young teenager in the 70s. That era definitely had a huge impact on me. Nine Princes of Amber comes fondly to mind. Quote "If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales.
