Hi to all!! Our KickStarter campaign can be found here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...nd-its-website Let me introduce you to Avalanche, an epic campaign set in a familiar universe. It brings us what we love from fantasy - elves, dwarves, monsters and adventures - and it does so in a...

Thanks a lot!! Our KickStarter campaign has just been launched (and we did updated our video): https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/671321082/avalanche-an-epic-campaign-and-its-website

On the subject, I'd like to share with you what we envision what Avalanche. Our video for our KickStarter campaign is now done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO9Vpf_LtDo&feature=youtu.be I hope you find this video informative and that helps you understand the type of products we envision...

I agree. That's with this in mind that we wrote Avalanche the way it is (PoL has the advantage of being very short and straightforward). Of course, Avalanche is not as easy to read as a novel, but I really hope it is more fun for the DM than the typical setting/adventure being sold out there...

First, thanks for the kind word. For the crunch part, I believe that is the reason we (and PoL) opted for 'vanilla' setting. [Almost] any systems should be able to cover those common elements (elves, thieves, mages, paladins ...). Well, I hear you about this, but you have to remember...

I have also backed this project on KS. Went with the pdf: shipping cost is just killing it. Still great products and I'm quite glad to support people in France.

First, thanks for the kind word. We're used to design and deliver websites for our customers, but this time it is OUR project. So yes, I prefer clean and streamlined design. About the systems. I've played Avalanche with dnd, The Shadow of Yesterday, some kind of werewolves like system and...

That's a very nice strategy; it reduces a lot of risks for the publisher. That said was not setting and mini adventures, but mini adventures to introduce the setting. Truly a 'built upon' strategy. Thanks for sharing.

Then I guess you might want to check Avalanche: it is a full adventure, an epic campaign. It is a setting designed for an adventure and an adventure designed for a setting at a given time, with some strong immediate stakes. And time does matter.

@Selkirk: it's nice what they have done with dragon age. A quick question: are you refering to dragon age as a system and for the adventures modules? By the way, one of the strength of PoL is how easy it is to 'get' (very slim sourcebook). I understand your feeling about not using all the parts...

That's exactly what I have in mind. It seems I have made an [honest] mistake by resurrecting a long dead thread (I'm kind of new to this board). So, I have split this thread into a new one to address this issue: Settings and adventures modules design: providing useful products. I hope we can...

I'm an advocate of the return of 'adventures modules' for TT rpg. I do find that over the years the systems we have at our disposal did 'improve' a lot: we have so much choices today, supporting very different kind of game play (you might prefer some over others, this is not my point). Sadly...

Oh ... then it is my mistake!!! Sorry about that. How come this board proposes similar threads (at the foot of page) that are that old?

If you're telling me that previous attempts to acheive a 'living setting' (something with a timeline) were failures (WoD, for instance, than I would gladly agree. That said, it doesn't mean it can't be done. Honestly, for me, a setting presented for a single point (which is fixed) is of no use...

Really? I was not aware of it. Sounds like good news ...
