Title: Strange tales of songling
Post by: Bedrockbrendan on October 01, 2017, 01:40:12 PM
Working on a new game that is a variation of the Ogre Gate system (simpler, more focused on monster-of-the-week style horror). Been running it with my Saturday and Tuesday gaming groups (Sunday is still Ogre Gate, as is my every other Saturday game).

Blogged a little about the idea here: http://thebedrockblog.blogspot.com/2017/09/designing-strange-tales-of-songling.html

Have a character sheet, will probably post that in the coming days.

Also, this is relevant: http://thebedrockblog.blogspot.com/2017/09/gaming-strange-tales-table-of-contents.html

Strange Tales is nearly ready for layout (just finished the edits and doing some last minute reviews). Joel Clark was kind enough to run a playtest to check the document structure one more before I send it off. Here is the video: https://youtu.be/BzhWcQMWlAc

It is finally done. It is out in PDF here (and I should have it out in paperback in the next month or so): https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/300445/Strange-Tales-of-Songling

Bought this last night! This looks great. I read through the first couple of chapters. I love the character classes!

I will try to browbeat some friends into playing this. :D As it happens I just read Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio recently, so this is a total Baader-Meinhof for me, too.

BTW, I noticed in my PDF reader that the TOC seemed not to render Chapter 2 correctly. I don't know if it was just my reader or not, thought I'd mention it though.

Thanks! I am glad you like it so far. I just uploaded a new version of the PDF with the Chapter Two TOC fixed
