Dwimmermount lives! Dwimmermount LIVES! DWIMMERMOUNT LIVES!
You can get it here from drivethruRPG. Now the OSR will have to find another another overdue kickstarter poster child. Unfortunately there are many candidates. I will have to stop patting myself on the back for having dodged the Dwimmermount bullet by not jumping aboard the kickstarter, and buy a copy. However I might just wait for the Adventure, Conqueror, King edition which Alex on the Autarch Forum claims is finished and should be out by the end of the month. For those interested in other wayward soap operas of game development: you might look at how the recent Ennie award winning Razor Coast came to be; or that old classic of how Gary Gygax lost control of TSR. I am still waiting for the real Castle Greyhawk (or even the next levels of the faux Castle Zagzyg), El Raja key, and the Jakallan underworld. Of course there is my own fantasy heart breaker which has yet to see the light of day.I am currently thinking an OGL futuro clone of 4e combined with a d20 based Runequest, but unsurprisingly the details are proving quite tricky (perhaps a trip to the patent registry to determine which of the 9000 plus powers of 4e are not WoTC trademarks would help). More next time (maybe even a review of the 5e players handbook if I can finish wading through the spells).
Oh, I was one of the guys to have preordered Razor Coast. I just gave up on it... and never came around to demand a refund because of sloth...
ReplyDeleteThere are times it pays out to be a disorganized fool*... so I got a 100$ hardcover for the price of 29,95$, that I allready had forgotten to ever having paid, so basically it felt like free. With shipping to Europe, even. :D
I bought some PDFs from Frog God Games to balance that out at least a bit... ;)
