Sounds very interesting. Not a huge fan of using BRP for a Lovecraftian setting (Tremulus works better for me on that regard), but all the fluff material could be very useful. I'll be looking forward to this.

What's going on with tremulus? I missed out on the kickstarter, but it looked really interesting.

Just to clarify, do you not like BRP for Cthulhu Mythos settings (technically, RoR isn't a "lovecraftian" setting, per se), or do you just not like BRP, period?

A friend of mine got into the KS, as soon as he had the PDF he gave it to me and ask me to run a couple of sessions. It was a blast. This was my first approach with the AW Engine, and as a GM who likes to roll his dice, I never thought I'd enjoy it that much. Since then, I've been reading Dungeon World (amazing game, I still have to run a session), and I'm looking forward to purchase Apocalypse World and Monsterherts when I have the money (probably I'll never get the chance to run MH in my life, but the playbooks are very well done, which is why it peeked my interest).

As for Tremulus itself, I'm waiting for it to be released to the public as you are, so I can purchase my own copy. I don't think they gave any release date yet.

If you want to know more about it, maybe you can start a new thread, and I'll try to answer your questions.

I like RuneQuest (so it's not a problem with the BRP system, which I think works fine for fantasy games), but after running Call of Cthulhu several times, I feel that the system doesn't do what I want it to do for a Lovecraft-inspired game. Tremulus does the job better for what I (and my friends) want from the genre, but I can see the appeal that many gamers have for CoC.

That said, CoC has a lot of supplements that Tremulus will never have, so it's still a great source for setting material for me, which is why I'm interested on this KS.

Well, good for you, but I think I'll stay with CoC.

QuoteThe rules of tremulus are based on Vincent Baker's Apocalypse World and influenced by elements of Fiasco and FATE. New elements drive the game into more investigative directions, handle sanity loss and madness, and streamlines the role of the Keeper (the game master.)

Anyways, in other news about Raiders, some of the first actual official art that will be in the book has been released as a preview:

Very nice and evocative artwork. Over on Yog-Sothoth.com the game has begun to attract some interest as well.

Yes it has.

Stay tuned for more news updates on this project!

Following up on our first sneak peek at some of the art from RAIDERS of R'LYEH, here are some more examples of BW and Color illustrations from the game. BW by me, and color paintings by Cliff Cramp.

Today, I thought I'd share a couple examples of what Archetypes will look like if we get funded for a color edition. Cliff Cramp is knocking these out of the park, and I can't wait to show you the full range of Archetypes in a later post...





And a couple examples of Archetypes!

Those are really, really good.

Nice touch with Constantinople. Poor Greeks, they were so close...

The art looks really cool. Great work!:)

Thank you for the kind words!

So close to what?

Quote from: RPGPundit;664152So close to what?

To getting it (back) after WW1, of course. The Entente were plans to give some harsh land repercussions to Ottoman Empire after WW1 if I remember correctly, giving Constantinople to Greece or making it some DMZ. If I remember correctly, Greeks even went to war to enforce those claims at some point. Though Attaturk ultimately saved the state with his reformed military and diplomacy miracles.
