Moving Back To The Book

Now that the Gencon Series is done, I'm planning to get back to work on the book, renamed the Heroes of the Dungeon Crawl Basic Charts Edition. I've changed the cover and logo, and I will be unveiling the name of my little game making effort soon. It's between two names, and I'll preview them soon.

I also have typed the Stupid Things Done At The Table column. Funny thing is I have already hand written another page that takes me to the wood shed for the stupid things I did. I felt I needed to. So, I'm deciding whether to add that to this column or just create another one for it.

I make no apologies for the way we played back then. We had fun and played for years. HotDC will take things in a different direction, so don't think that this game is going to be like the way the column describes the old days. In fact, in the Basic Charts Book, I address reasons why things should be done a certain way. As it was for me back then, it will be up to the Hero Guide and Gamers to play within the spirit of the rules.

I have two other things I would like to add to the Basic Charts Edition, and then I would very much like to sign off on it and start preparing the main rule book. That means I could have it available on Lulu for free download or printed book (for slight fee) within the week. I already have ideas for rule adjustments, but this has to be the cutoff point. The Basic Charts Book will still give you a good idea of what I'm doing with these rules.

I want to get to work on TKI-1 Danger In The Dwarven Dungeon again and have it ready for an October release, if possible. I've always wanted to do an adventure and see it printed. It's two levels at the moment for Game Characters of 0 Degree.

The HotDC RPOL site is up. I've been considering putting it to use with TKI-1, sort of an informal test session. At any rate, it's time to get back to work on HotDC.
