This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

From my blog:

My Indian game OSR-game, which I've now settled on (or more correctly, resigned myself to for lack of finding any other title I like better) calling "Arrows of Indra", now has a publisher.

 

I'm pleased to unofficially announce that its getting published by Bedrock Games, creators of Horror Show, Terror Network, and Servants of Gaius.  This is their first Old-school RPG (though the guys behind Bedrock have been old school gamers since forever) and they tell me they're very excited about working with me, and bringing Bedrock games into the Old-school side of the hobby.  We have some great plans for artwork, layout, promotion, and how we'll be publicizing the design and development process.

 

I want to take advantage of this moment to once again clarify a detail about Arrows of Indra: Its setting will be rich and exotic, but as a game its FIRST priority will be that its playable and approachable in a way that's familiar to all D&D gamers.  This is not a "too weird to live" game; its the same old D&D at its core, you do the same stuff, you don't have a to learn a weird language full of accents and apostrophes, you don't need to read up 20 pages on "The Ecology of the Hrrgu'itsyál", you don't need to immerse yourself in culture-wank. The setting is of epic heroic fantasy and D&D players will be able to get right to what they want with it.

 

Stay tuned for more information about the game as we progress over the next few months, including a Q&A thread where you'll all be able to ask me whatever you want about the game.

Thanks Sean ! Bedrock is excited about the project. I thought the concept was great from the beginning and look forward to publishing Arrows of Indra.

The (presumably) Tekumel barbs were probably unnecessary...
Yeah, but who gives a fuck? You? Jibba?

Well congrats. No one else gives a shit, so your arguments are a waste of breath.

That's pretty cool given my grasp of Indian culture and history is not great.

I know this is a D&D game, but could we get more info on the system?
Quote from: Black Vulmea;530561Y\'know, I\'ve learned something from this thread. Both B.T. and Koltar are idiots, but whereas B.T. possesses a malign intelligence, Koltar is just a drooling fuckwit.

So, that\'s something, I guess.

Yeah, that's EPT.

But what differentiates Arrows of Indra from that? :D

This. I would like to know how it's different from vanilla D&D, mechanics wise.
Grając zaś w grę komputerową, być może zdarzyło się wam zapragnąć zejść z wyznaczonej przez autorów ścieżki i, miast zabić smoka i ożenić się z księżniczką, zabić księżniczkę i ożenić się ze smokiem.

Nihil sine magno labore vita dedit mortalibus.

And by your sword shall you live and serve thy brother, and it shall come to pass when you have dominion, you will break Jacob's yoke from your neck.

Dios, que buen vasallo, si tuviese buen señor!
