Sci-Fantasy, 'Crunchy Rules' System, Role-Playing and Story-Driven Game Soon on Kindl

Morterth the Role-Playing Game is coming soon to Kindle UK and Germany. Recycled from over thirty years of amateur game desiging, and under constant edit since March 2010, this game uses six-sided dice in a very innovative method and supplements many rolls and other things with card decks.

Morterth has twenty colorful species of sentients, including humanity, sharing a planet with a rich, unique, and drama and pathos strewn history. Magic has developed from the salvation of six species to the refugee world of Morterth raising psychic thresholds enormously. Four nearby sentient systems were also affected, and three of them are reachable by magical travel. Due to magical factions, many technologies have been supressed, but there are greatships, gliders, lightning rayguns, and robot companions to make your playing experience a little more than swords and sorcery or even the new steampunk genre.

It will be released in four stages, starting with character creation rules, as the final drafts are polished. The individal books will be on Kindle for $4.99 each. Following character creation will be the rules system, then the setting details, and finally the referee reference.

I will post back here when its up on Kindle UK and Germany. It will be released in the USA a bit later.

See you on Morterth!

The character creation book is still getting there. I've learned you can't pinpoint the ending of the drafting process. However, I've solidified all of the six components that make a character 'class' and the core defining one, called your character's 'path' has come to and end list of 208 in number, most of them very variable in their flavor, with different motivations, backgrounds, and knowledges; as well as being accentuated by their archetype-class and possible hero-class bonuses. Each character can end up with three 'levels': a 'path' level which is the number of paths wandered down; an archetype-class level, which is the number of paths in the archetype one's current traveled path is on; and a hero-class level, which is determined by the least number of paths in all the archetypes one possesses (though you need to have more than one archetype in your past experiences to be hero-class). There is a great deal of setting flavor, and the method of character generation shows you a view of the setting each time you make a character, as a starting adventurer is generated through the environment set by fate and the choices they have. There are berzerkers and swashbucklers; martial-arts style monks and dervish bladedancers; arcanist wizards and wild uncontrolled mages; magics of the blue moon and the darkness as well as the purity of positive action and the light of the absolute. Alien species live alongside humans and descendents of our culture before the great flood/bhagadaveda cataclysm of 10,000 B.C, when Harrapan had bronze and iron, Atlantis was split in twain, and Mu and Lemuria were real.

Until the first book on character creation is done, you can check out a small do-it-yourself two player strategic board game I put up for $2.99 called Hexsiege, which has some elements of my setting. It would help me lots as a struggling artist!​
