What's your most anticipated game for 2014?

[Ryan Huffaker]

What about this one?

Freedomsworn is a table-top RPG set in the fantasy/steam-punk world of Avantorn. The first of its kind, Freedomsworn is designed to enhance the table-top RPG experience by working WITH your mobile device, instead of against it, all the while remaining a game that is actually played around a physical table with dice and miniatures and so forth.


Features (Beta Version):
- Original rules system.
- Original setting, with incredible room for growth.
- Intuitive PC and NPC management.
- 500+ Character Option card library, with lots of room for expansion.
- 250+ NPC template cards, just waiting for a little description.
- Dice-rolling feature (just in case you forgot your dice)
- Ad-powered (No in-app purchases. Ever.)
- Free online manual (freedomsworn.com) with in-app access.


Developer Goals:
- Enable connectivity for multiple devices over the internet
- Live tracking of initiative (with optional timers)
- Enhanced PC and NPC management
- Character portraits (imported from your own picture gallery)
- Advanced campaign/party management
- General content expansion/improvement
- Enable content customization (design your own cards!)
- Plugins for independently-published modules and expansions

Freedomsworn looks very interesting. What release date are you shooting for?

Also good job on the webpage, Ryan, there is a lot of info about the game (both fluff and crunch) and it is well organized. WotC could learn a thing or too from you. On the other hand, I guess you can't have a RPG advertised as tech-friendly and have a poorly designed webpage

Didn't sound too bad until you hit that line. Not sure I or a lot of other gamers want to use an interface in a game where we're constantly forced to look at ads.

Good point! The only ads I have are down at the bottom, but it would probably be best to leave that out entirely. Thanks!

How so? All the publicity is literally me just posting stuff I'm doing, so if I'm doing it wrong please let me know!

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to rain on anybody's parade. It's just that there are already a lot of generic systems out there - and beyond the naming convention and marketing design, I'm not sure what the game(s) offer that is new. Enlighten me.

I haven't heard of any upcoming ones that excite me.

I'm curious about how Next will come out, but I'm not expecting much.

For me, my top 3 would be revisions of current games.

1. D&D 5E
2. Feng Shui (I'm assuming there will be a Kickstarter later this year)
3. Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition

Dresden Files Accelerated! So much! I really hope this gets released in 2014, so excited about it.
