I'd be interested in playing. I missed the players wanted thread. Likely others did as well.

Sounds like you have three at least.

Took a look at the Lapins and Lairs rules and they're pretty slick. I'm a fan of the *World stuff anyway, and this really does seem to help get the themes of B&B/Watership Down across. I'd be interested in GMing or playing, whatever is needed.

Also interested as a player. Apocalypse-powered anything and I'm already half sold.

In reply to M-Type (msg # 16):

Hopefully the original poster and other interested parties will chime in as well. Wishing The Warren were already released, especially after skimming Night Witches. Bully Pulpit does great work.

Thanks so much for the heads up Alyse, count me in :-). I've been waiting for a chance to play again :-)

Wish the playtest draft of The Warren was still available. Must email Bully Pulpit and ask whether there's a firm date for the game's release. Their website just says Spring 2015. Will have to start off using Lapins And Lairs and decide whether to upgrade.

Do we want to do setting creation on the fly, or shall I create a setting for you to explore?

Either way works for me

I think maybe not knowing is all part of this kind of adventure. Big scary world, dangerous business going out your door, Prince With A Thousand Enemies, and all that.

Feel free to create a setting yourself on the fly, of course. :)

Oh yes definitely woukd be happy either way.  I  think exploration and trying to puzzle out what new things are is a great part of why I love this genre :-). It's too funny trying to decide what a common item would seem like to a curious rabbit:.  I'll be happy with almost any setting.

One part of the overall *World experience is how world-building is handled.

The MC can call on anyone to establish a new fact in the world and fiction.

Players get to contribute to the coolness of the setting in a meaningful way.

I don't want to lay down too much in advance, because it's your setting too.

Ahh, I misread what you said before. I'm fine with creating everything on the fly. What I was suggesting was that we don't come into it having determined much about the outside world, they way you would in Dungeon World.

I am kinda envisioning this like a hexcrawl at smaller scale. I'll start by mapping the lay of the land, and briefly outline threats.

Now if only I could find details on how far wild rabbits generally range from their burrows, so I know what scale that should be.

Ah, finally... "Adult wild rabbits rarely venture further than 200 yards/meters from the main [burrow]..."

That gives me a useful benchmark around which to create scalable maps for every conceivable need. ^_^

Let's see.  That's about six hundred foot radius.  That's a good indicator of the area around an established warren that is known roughly or the area needing to be explored in a newer warren.  Of course players might go beyond even those boundaries if they had to find a lost rabbit or find a new warren site, but then they'd truly be hopping into the unknown.  I think the one hex at a time approach is perfect.  I'm excited Alyse :-)

My younger brother died in the early hours of this morning.

Going dark for a bit, see you when I manage to stop crying.

...I'm so sorry. Take all the time you need.

So very sorry, Alyse, I lost my mother less than a year ago.  I'm not going anywhere, come back when you're ready.

Am distracting myself from things funereal by playing with hex-mapping tools.

Not really getting anywhere, as I don't have paid versions of any of them. >_>

Further details on the distances wild rabbits range: "Daily movements are generally within 150 to 200 m of the warren, but this distance can increase during drought (up to 1500 m has been observed), or decrease during the breeding season."

Yeah, when you are the Prince with a Thousand Enemies you stay pretty close to home.  Unless you're a crazy player character rabbit who just can't seem to stay out of trouble lol :)  I used to play on a Bunnies and Burrows game here on RPOL Alyse.  Although its no longer active you may get some ideas from the excellent maps the Bunny Master used.

Can't view maps if they're set for a group other than zero and public, alas.

The folks over at Bully Pulpit have sent me the playtest documents for The Warren! Shall give them a thorough read-through today and post more when I can.

There are two types f the maps still there in the Game Map section.  The main map is group zero.  She ,asked our progress as we hopped along but you can see what we started out with.  It may give you some ideas possibly.  The measurement was about an inch equaled a five minute hop :-).

Apparently game maps aren't viewable if you're not in the game, then. The link isn't even there.
