From the FERMI RESOLUTION RPG Worldbook: Magic stuff.

Mechanics, mostly. I’ve made it public and put it up here. Feedback welcome.

What I will do with the FERMI RESOLUTION RPG worldbook.

(Crossposted to Kickstarter)

The Fermi Resolution RPG manuscript has been updated and expanded, and rules for GUMSHOE added. However, the manuscript still requires text on how to handle necromancy, enchantment, and alchemy; and the whole thing needs to be blended. There’s also art to be included, and a lot of playtesting. A whole lot of playtesting.

Getting some good feedback from people.

I was miscounting pages, so… 6K words to go, after all. The good news is, all the original stuff has had the expanded pass-through and everything else is fill-in-the-blanks. I should be able to hack it all together by Monday and get it out to the other folks having a look-see.

Not much else going on, really.

Just what it says on the label.

I powered through both the magic and the religion sections today, because those two are related in terms of mechanics and I thought it’d be easier to just get it all done at once. Tomorrow I think I can just burn through the last three original sections left and then spend the weekend punching up the rest. The goal is to hand it off to a couple of folks I’m consulting with next week and see what they think.

After that, I can get on with the sonnets. And the adventure which I’m going to run for the session*. And after that, I’ve… run out of stuff to do? I could get back to normal? But what is normal, really? I’ve kind of forgotten by now.

*No, I haven’t forgotten the books. The books start getting processed this weekend. Letter, sign, wrap, label, send out, yay!

From the FERMI RESOLUTION RPG Worldbook: Religions.

This is starting to come together. Finally.

Got the original Geography part finished and added some more locations. The next two are the big ones, though: Magic and Religion. I wrote them originally before I had an actual magical system to link them to, and there’s going to have to be revisions there. Mechanically, magic and theurgy run off of the same mechanics; but the styles are completely different in this iteration.

From the FERMI RESOLUTION RPG Worldbook: NPCs.

Although I’m wondering whether I should have a contemporary NPC section: these folks are all pretty ‘historical.’ Hrm.

From the Fermi Resolution Worldbook: parts from the Gazetteer.

Trying to spread this around to get maximum eyeballs. This is going to be from the updated Gazetteer section.
