Well, now that I got this army thing cleared up I have been able to refocus back onto my projects. Things are going good. In this article I’ll be discussing two of them: Desecration and Romp.

Last night we continued with the private testing for Desecration. As testing goes, I couldn’t have hoped for a better run than this adventure has proven. After surpassing the initial opening pitfalls, the adventure has proceeded perfectly. Each component has so far proven to meet each design goal. That is no small feat, considering the nature of RPGs, where every player hopes to get something different out of the game, and so they contribute to the story in much different ways. With the unpredictability that players always bring to an adventure, it can often surprise even myself how easily these designs, and the E-RPG system itself can handle it.

This weekend we ran another phase of testing for Desecration. This time it definitely feels like the adventure is coming together. The players felt much more involved based on their general reaction to each encounter and challenge. Furthermore, some plot devices I was questioning have revealed themselves to be good choices in the long run. This was largely due to the fact that my current testing group is not playing a “standard” adventuring party. This makes the testing a little more difficult, but ultimately more rewarding. (more…)

So, last night I ran the first development test for Desecration. For the most part it went fairly well. However, there were some major hiccups. Let’s just say that this was not my moment of glory. Still, that’s what development testing is for. We pick up at the end, clean up the issues, and wind up with a better product in the end. Hopefully.

So, here are some notes, edited for content to reduce possible spoilers.

Well, as the title suggest, it has been a busy weekend. It started through the week, as things were developing towards the weekend itself. An Ironwood Nexus Community Member, Ralph, posted some suggestions for a game aid that I developed. I took on the roll of both Project Developer and Executive Officer this week, and I prepared for the first play test for a Fantasy Sagas Game in almost a year. It all led up to yesterday, when it all came together.

Many adventures are about dungeons, or epic events. Some are about political drama, or secret cults. Others are about people. Desecration, on the surface, is a rescue mission. The quest, and the adventure the players discover take center stage. However, the driving force behind the adventure are the NPC’s. In this article we are focusing on 3 of these. In particular, we are focusing on the NPCs that the characters will be tasked to rescue.
