18th Century D20 Imperial Britain and its Colonies - a new setting?

[dougmander]

Hooray for Gloriana! And can any one give us a firm date on Septentrionalis?

First quarter 2005 -- it will be released by Atlas Games under the title Northern Crown: New World Adventures, and it WILL be a d20 product. The manuscript has already undergone a full edit by the publisher -- I'm revising and polishing it up, and working on the illustrations. After working for almost ten years on this, it's really great to see it finally getting into print.

Just to clarify, the time period is roughly 1675-1700, but the rules are designed to accommodate any campaign reminiscent of North America between 1600 and 1800. It will feature new core classes, prestige classes, guns, fencing, inventions, magic items, treasure, monsters, legendary NPCs, a complete gazetteer of the campaign area... And as an added treat, it is fully compatible with Chris Dolunt's Nyambe: African Adventures.

Y'know, the Albian queen in Northern Crown is also named Gloriana... one of them must be an impostor! Silver Moon, maybe you could play her at the next ENWorld Boston game day!

Doug, it's great to see that this excellent piece of work is finally in sight. I can't wait to take a gander on it to see how it's morphed since my last read through. Gamers even remotely interested in this time period won't be dissapointed.

Hmm, two books I will seriously have to take a look at. I loved Nyambe and Gloriana looks like it has some interesting potential.

**sigh**

More gaming money gone before I knew it...

Something about smoothbore flintlock muskets, smallswords, powdered wigs and the like that have never really caught on in gaming. A few brief attempts, but nothing ever stuck...

Bring unto me powdered wigs, my grey matter's brewing new ideas...
