Hi, all. We've posted the latest design diary for Thrilling Passages. This diary, entitled "To d20 or Not To d20," discusses how we went about deciding on a set of mechanics for the game.
What's Thrilling Passages? Something along the lines of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen meets Time Cop meets Quantum Leap. Players take the role of "Passengers," dedicated to preserving the balance of the Book Without End and protecting our world from the threats of alternate dimensions: the Jabberwock, Long John Silver, and Dr. Fu Manchu to name a few.
The book will use an entirely new system of mechanics, based loosely on d20 but stripped down to its essence, streamlined to maximize role-playing opportunities, and simplified to make a one-shot a viable alternative to board game night. In the words of the Great Bard: "The play's the thing!"
The book is principally written by Richard Farrese, illustrated by Jennifer Rodgers, and will debut at Gen Con Indy.
