3 days left in the Spellbound Kingdoms: Arcana kickstarter!

Hello all! The kickstarter for the new Spellbound Kingdoms: Arcana book went live yesterday. We're already past our funding goal, moving into the stretch goals. For those of you who don't know me, I worked on a ton of D&D 3e stuff for WotC and Paizo back in the days when Col_Pladoh was posting...

Glad to hear it! I hope you enjoy the game.

Fantastic! All the people here at T. Shield Studios - that would be me - are very happy and gratified to see Spellbound Kingdoms on the list. Congrats to all the other nominees, thanks to the judges, and most of all thanks to all the fans for supporting the game.

Shameless self-plug alert! You should check out my game, Spellbound Kingdoms. It meets all of your criteria, although the Renaissance elements (there are black powder guns, for example) might push it too far away from "classical fantasy" for you. Still, you can remove those elements without...

I went there. I'm lost. Is there a game there? I see an article telling you to play other games in order to play your game, but I don't actually see your game.

I write RPGs because I love them. They're my favorite type of art. They spark my imagination and thought, they help me get together with friends, and they make me laugh and have fun. Some game design principles: 1. The goal is to be fun to play and fun to read. 2. Most players have fun when...

3e/PF, 4e, Savage Worlds. Not on the list: Spellbound Kingdoms, Dark Heresy, A Song of Ice and Fire.

Hm, initially it lost me at the double-acronym (Licensed Autonomous Zone Effectuators). But that's a pretty strong recommendation, so I'll give it a look!

I can't imagine running D&D or any rpg without creating far more NPCs for roleplay than for combat.
