PDF, POD, or what?

When deciding to publish a roleplaying game, you need to decide on a format for your product. Should you go with a traditional physical product (be it hardcover or softcover), or should you join the 21st Century and publish your game in digital format such as a PDF?

The Road to Being Published

Anyone can write a roleplaying game. (We’re proof of that!) However, getting that game published is another thing entirely, especially for small press operations like us. After reading lots of message boards and talking to people in real life, we’ve discovered there’s a lot of mystery and confusion regarding the road to being published. Therefore,

The writing is done!

Believe it or not, we have finally finished writing the Corebooks for Triune! As we discussed before, the corebook will come in two editions.

We’re back

Google OK’s Triune

In our last post, we talked about how Google wouldn’t allow us to share the rough draft of the Triune Corebook. The book is currently a Google Docs file, and for some reason, Google flagged it as inappropriate. We are happy to report that Google has changed its mind. The rough draft can be shared

Another Triune playtest done

Triune is nearing completion, and with the last playtest, I’m confident that the current system is complete. The Effort System and associated rules work well; players picked up the system quickly and reported positively on it. That’s not to say there won’t be changes coming from this playtest. For example, one weapon that we might
