The adventures to accompany are another matter, but Delivery to the Sea will definitely be done. And then I may release the other two in February.

Sean_RDP Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 So I am going to be spending this week trying to finish the QS guide and getting it edited. So we may bleed into early Feb before its done, but editing will be important. The rules all seem to work fine Quote Its 2300hrs, do you know where your super dreadnoughts are? http://reigndragonpressblog.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean_RDP Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Still going and still editing. I also ran into some extra work I had to take on to pay bills, so it is taking longer than I anticipated. I will kick another progress report near the end of the week.

Sean_RDP Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Well.... Weird Magic is spirit magic, powered by the ephemeral weirdlings and "nature gods" and gifted to all the races. For normal Weirds they cap at 4MP instead of 6. Bloodweirds (not appearing in the Quickstart) go up to 8 but are harder to learn The amount of weird magic you can have is dependent on your CON, not your INT as the spiral tattoos that hold the weirds take up "room" on the body's general physical energy. However, there is a Weird known as Souldbound that allows you to link your CON and AUR (aura) so you have more "room". In the limited testing it has gotten, I think it works well. But we shall see when folks get hold of it and tear it up a bit. Magic Items Smithing is its own kind of magic that can incorporate the other three magics as well as crafting and alchemy. I did not want to just give out swords +1 and fetishes etc.. I wanted magical items to be special and worthy of going on adventures just to get the ingredients together. In general they come in two types: Triggered and Permanent. A triggered item has a spell on it and enough MP to cast it. The MP can be used for other things and vice versa, but it comes the power to use it. A hammer with the Woehammer III spiral on it wold have 3MP inside. The permanent version would have Woehammer III always on, never needing MP to cast it so it does not normally come with MP. Weird items go by Totems (triggerable) and Talismans (permanent) So far the two "spells" for smithing are The Song of Making and the Song of Unmaking. I think I will expand on that list, though how much I am not sure. I hope that gives a (good) taste of where I am going and thanks! 1 Quote Its 2300hrs, do you know where your super dreadnoughts are? http://reigndragonpressblog.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooley1chris Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Sounds interesting. Something I've been toying with in my campaigns is magic items that actually use the wielders MP to activate the items special ability. A step above X number of uses per day. A step below permanent. But my magic items are more like what you're trying to avoid, I think. More D&Dish to give my old school players something more familiar. I actually made a book for magic world about enchanting items but not sure I'm 100% happy with it, which is why I'm curious. But thats a topic for another thread. 1 Quote Author QUASAR space opera system: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/459723/QUASAR?affiliate_id=810507 My Magic World projects page: Tooleys Underwhelming Projects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that makes sense, I know us old schoolers like to feel appreciated too I may consider something like that for The City That Thieves.. but yes a topic for another thread Some of my item creation inspiration comes from M.

Sean_RDP Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 So Armor, Shields, helms, and weapons are finished except for weapon damage, which may come down a notch. Mundane equipment should be easy enough.

It looks interesting - there's enough based upon existing d100 material that's to make it feel familiar, but also enough differences to make it feel innovative. We need the QS Guide to place it in some context though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean_RDP Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 Getting so close. A lot of this week has been putting together the various magic spells, weirds, and rites. After that there is not much left to do, so could be as early as end of next week.

Sean_RDP Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Okay so, the QS was not going to be very quick, so I changed directions a bit and this is going to work out pretty well I think. So I am creating an ACTUAL QS doc called "Skaerune': Salt Mine Blues" which is a step by step how to play mini adventure. Skaerune': Verse Zero is the free to play version and has more depth and is for play testing. It will lead to a full version sometime later in the year, depending on how much feedback I get. Probably by October. Salt Mine Blues should be done by Intl RPG Day.

Sean_RDP Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Oh I thought it was earlier... but but you are right So Salt Mine Blues will be end of April, approx April 30th.

Sean_RDP Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 I really need to get back to weekly updates Currently doing a re-write of Salt Mine Blues, but then that should be it.

Jakob Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 The more I'm lurking around in this forum, the more I like what I read about Skaerune ... however, it's also been a long while since the last update - I hope the project is not dead? If seen too many weird and interesting rpg settings that, in the end, never got made ...

Sean_RDP Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 No Skaerune' is far from dead. I am just in the final edit for the Free to Play module. Making it was harder than I expected but is totally worth it. I have a plan for the game now that I think will work well. A week or two and it should be out. Thanks for asking!
