Thank you, I really appreciate your enthusiasm. I hope it's what you and your group are looking for :) Yes for updates! Things have been very busy. With the "Mid-2016" launch date rolling in, a lot of work is being done prepping for the Kickstarter. There's a sampler package being put together...

On a ferry during a storm! We were using 4e and there was an elaborate tactical map and miniatures. At the height of a tense battle, Mother Ocean decided to literally 'rock the boat' IRL. The bad guys won by default that day as our heroes were thrown across the room. You know you need to get...

This kind of stuff makes my inner geek squeal with glee and go into convulsions. These are fantastic. Much respect for your artist Mr. Thompson! I shudder to think how long it took you guys to come up with all the designs, sketches, revisions, and renders for so many items. Worth it though...

Definitely. By the time I got to writing about the example of Breaches being custom tailored to another setting, I was at about 2.5-3 pages of writing already and kind of groaned thinking this might be a bit overboard. It’s been a learning experience figuring out how much, how little or how...

For those interested in that question "Can I use my own setting for Unity?" PART 2 of the blog series is up that helps shed some light on this: http://unity-rpg.com/blog/2016/03/22/part-2-unitys-setting-why-does-it-exist-and-can-i-use-my-own-setting-instead/

Haha... EzekielRaiden I'll take it! I'll do my best to confirm your hope :) Hi Anthony, you are correct about describing Unity and I hope folks will see it as building upon inspirations from those games (and others) mentioned rather than just blenderizing everything wholesale into an RPG...

I totally hear you gribble. There's a section of the book dedicated to providing guidelines for GMs to make Unity their own with regards on how to reskin/reflavour different things and what modular parts they can move around. I'll touch upon it in the 2nd part of my 2 part blog series concerning...

1. Monsters attack according to the situation/narrative. If the party is being ambushed, monsters get first strike and vice versa. In black and white situations like those, the transition to combat feels really nice. In murkier engagements, we've been playtesting with different approaches that...

My friend, I need to give you an award for being able to plow through those… I think 8 pages of sometimes gigantic posts and my incoherent ramblings? Respect and thank you!

Hey folks... Big reply post incoming :) Definitely a valid concern and one I'm cognizant about. I struggled with coming up with a name for the game to the point where it didn't make sense to dwell on it anymore as it was detracting hard from the actual design of the game itself. My main issue...

Since Unity started making rounds on the net, one of the questions that's been coming up has been about Unity's setting. Some folks express interest in learning more and some ask if Unity's system can accommodate their own personal settings. I've started a 2 part blog series that gives a bit...

Thanks Stacie! Yes, for those that want to get a bit more granular or have more of a war-gamey feel, we have charts converting the range bands into measurements that translate similarly to D&D i.e. 5 ft per square but I'm Canadian... so I might have to represent and go with meters :) It does...

As we move closer to the Kickstarter, I'll be diving a bit deeper into mechanics including combat :) But if I could give some brief insight into how "turn less" combat in Unity works I'd ask you to think about concurrency of actions and simultaneous engagement of the players at the table...

Hi Curmudjinn, Thanks for your question. The answer is yes :) I’ve been designing Unity for quite some time now and during that journey, a lot of feedback I received was that some folks loved having a rich setting to draw from and some wanted to conjure up their own worlds to explore instead...

Heya! The creator for Unity here. Wanted to pop in and say hi and also a give a HUGE thanks to Morrus for putting up this article and helping generate awareness for the game. I'm continually amazed and deeply grateful of the support the RPG community provides to indie developers. The lavish...
