Obligatory WIP Shot. |
On that subject, do we even want a full core book, at least right away? One of the advantages of working in such a well known rules system as D6 is that you can be playing a Black Desert campaign right now, with nothing but the info I've already released. That being said, I know that many RocketFans are looking forward to more info about the setting...but not necessarily the rules.
With all this in mind, would it be more fun for you to get setting supplements to existing D6, such as the available races, templates, and of course the spacecraft, that a full Core Book? I would have to release a setting guide, that much is certain, but as for the rest, would you rather use the existing rules with a few add-ons, or wait for a full core book? The more I think about it, the more I fell I may have better luck with a spread of cheap setting guides for D6 than a full Core Book. I can always put them all together with refinements based on actual play later.
It's a thought, anyway. Comments welcome.
This is Trey. Blogspot is acting weird about my account. Maybe it will work this time. Snarl!
ReplyDeleteI'd never considered the idea of releasing supplements for one setting (BD), that can be used with other settings/genres (Transhuman Space, Eclipse Phase, In Flames (and probably more) and maybe rules (D6/D20).
To my eyes, it offers some advantages - raised awareness, additional playtesters (who spot the errors) and a revenue stream. Plus, maybe, some increased exposure for the final product.
Thoughts?
