Re: Shadows of Esteren

I could certainly give interested players a quick primer on the basic mechanics of the system; however, I'm afraid that it wouldn't do the game justice. The designers have done a great job of developing the atmosphere and fleshing out the world of Tri-Kazel and there's just no way I could fit that kind of detail into a few posts. It's not cheap but I would certainly recommend that players buy Book 1 - Universe. Other than that, I think they'll eventually be launching a Kickstarter for Book 0 - Prologue which contains everything a new player would require.

All that being said, I'd still be willing to try to explain it to anyone who is interested.

Re: Shadows of Esteren

Good news. They've started up the Kickstarter for Book 0 Prologue. They're also selling it for $5 on the Studio 2 site. It's got a summary of the rules and the universe, among other things.

Re: Shadows of Esteren

Already pledged :)

For those who want to get the book but haven't yet, this is a great oppertunity to not only get the pdf of Book ) (adventure book with 3 adventures, and a rules light guidelines to the rules of the game + 6 premade characters. And all of this with full color art) Also, you can get the Core Rulebook at a cheap price along with the Adventure book too.

Hopefully ppl get into this, so we can get a game going!

Awesome! That will make 3 of us with the core rules then. More chance of a game getting up. :)

Re: Shadows of Esteren

Yeah, but no chance of me running it.  I just don't have the time to run a game right now.

Did you get both Book 0 and Book 1? From studio 2 or did you back the kickstarter? (I've backed the ridiculously successful Kickstarter for book 0, but pdfs will be delivered once the Kickstarter is over) :)

Let us know what you think about the game btw!

Also, still waiting for a worthy Narrator/Game Leader to run a game of this for us. You can run your own adventure, or one of the 3 adventures from Book 0, the adventure book.

Re: Shadows of Esteren

I didn't do the kickstarter because I wanted to get the pdf's now.

If my life slows down I would run one of the prologue adventures, but that isn't going to happen for a while.

Re: Shadows of Esteren

It seems as though you can actually get the PDF from the store now and then reduce your Kickstarter pledge by the $5 it cost. That way you can get the book immediately and still get some of the other stuff for pledging. Go to the Kickstarter page and do a search for "Option 1".

Re: Shadows of Esteren

Hmmm, the first adventure in Prologue is awesome, but would not work on Rpol very well.  Will have to see about adventure 2.

Re: Shadows of Esteren

Well, months later and still waiting.

Is there no one out there willing to run a great game, even one of the short but flavorful adventures in the adventure book  aka book 0? (which is available for free btw as a pdf)

This game would really scratch the medieval horror itch. Plus it is rules light so it shouldn't take too much time during combat and system based checks :)

Re: Shadows of Esteren

I just got book 0 and might be willing to give it a try, using the PCs from Book 0 - because I don't own any other material yet.

However, I'm always shaky with new game rules until I've played a while myself and I couldn't find anyone to run it for me either, so we would probably have to figure out rules together.
