HotDC Status Report

First, the Basic Charts Edition of Heroes of the Dungeon Crawl is still available for free download. Over 170 hits on the Lulu site and 31 downloads as of now.

I'd love to know if anybody has pulled out the six siders and given this game a shot, perhaps using the adventure in the book? The material in that book gives enough information for several adventures. I have considered a reedit of that book to make a few adjustments and make the book appear more "old school" in a two column format. Plus, I has acquired some art for it. For now, it stays as is.

I have been taking some time off over the last month. I needed a break. In the immediate future, I have no plans to resume, at least not in December. This will give me some time to think about things and reevaluate what I want to do. It's not the end of the line for this project by any means. There are things happening in the Basic RPG world that weren't happening when I started this deal.

Since I started this thing:

Labyrinth Lord was announced and ultimately released.

Troll Lord Games announced Basic Castles & Crusades.

Wizards announced a new Basic D&D that may be more like the old red book in that it's not a quick adventure then you have to move on to the three core books.

I like that. This was needed. I never considered myself a game maker, and yet, I have released a book for HotDC (31 downloads so far), done this blog for several months, put my own version of Dungeon Squad together for free download and edited two books for Labyrinth Lord. In many respects this is a childhood dream fulfilled. Plus, I finally made it to Gencon.

What needs to happen now is I need a break for a while. I don't intend for it to be long. If there is any major announcement I need to make, I will make it. If I come up with something cool for HotDC, I will post about it here. I do intend to post before the year is up, so keep checking.

In the meantime, Happy Holidays Everyone and Keep Gaming!!!
