Revisiting Voidstone Chronicles

I've been spending the last two days revisiting my Voidstone Chronicles game and setting. Creating new pictures for the game, and looking over the rules based on some feedback I received in a session of "Tooth and Claw" (which the core game mechanism is based on.

I'm thinking of doing some dramatic changes to the game. These changes will streamline the game quite a bit, and eliminate a particular quirk in the rules that makes some types of task virtually impossible for certain characters, and other types of task way too easy (regardless of the actual intended difficulty).

Before I start making those changes, I'd like to find out if anyone out there has actually read through "Voidstone Chronicles", and if anyone might have even given it a play. OneBookShelf tells me that there have been 24 copies of the game sold in it's life so far, so I'm hoping at least one person who has bought it has actually gotten around to reading it, and that they might be a regular reader of the blog.

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 7)

A working computer and scanner...that means it is time to get back to work on the geomorph sequence. A lot of the discussion in this set of tutorials has been focused around square geomorphs. They're the easiest for most people to wrap their heads around.  But my preferred form of geomorph is based around the hexagon, these tend to produce more organic and interesting shapes. This is true for natural environments, but it's no less true for urban environments. The example set of geomorphs above as a simple two-phase system. One edge type is plain, the other edge type has a road piercing the centre. There could be dozens of combinations and permutations for each of the two phases around the hexagonal edges, but a quick look at the variety of buildings and road shapes shows that there could literally be hundreds of possible options when drawing these map fragments. But you certainly don't need to create hundreds of designs for the system to be effective. Usin...

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 1)

After numerous requests to get back to map tutorials, it's time to start our new series. This time focusing on the concept of geomorphs, modular map fragments that can be mixed and matched. We'll start with a couple of theoretical tutorials before sinking into a few more practical posts. I'm predicting a dozen or so posts in this sequence, but let's see how long it lasts.
