This video made me giggle – now that my son has finally put together my Brettonian box for me (and he’s finishing his orc/gob army) I’ll finally be able to play…someday :)

Natural Twenty Games wishes you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!  Look for a more active Natural Twenty Games in 2010 as we finally release our Realms of Eldrath setting for Savage Worlds and True20!

This is my third and fourth map I’ve made using ProFantasy Campaign Cartographer 3.  These are the work-in-progress versions and have been cleaned up using Adobe Elements 7 and a Bamboo Graphics pad.

The past few months have been ultra busy at my day-to-day job. A project kicked off where my commitment was only supposed to be 5-10% for 4-6 weeks and it’s turned into 110% over that same time period. Slight miscalculation by the project management team :) .

Some design decisions that I’m coming up to regarding RoE:

Humancentric

The Realms will be humancentric vs. many fantasy races. The Savage Worlds, True20 and Fantasy Craft lines actually support the idea rather well.

Smaller Scale

Adventures will not be world-spanning, plane hopping jaunts. The focus will be on the village, barony, fief, etc. I really want to give the game master a solid framework to hang his campaign off of.

Views of Magic

Magic will be viewed with suspicion by most normal folk.  The Ordo Arcanum will wield some power but it won’t be blatant and magic and some of the orders of The Church of the Twelve will definitely clash.

The Church of the Twelve

The Church will have a strong influence on the day to day life of Eldrath.  Since it is based upon interpretations of man it will also have its own flaws and faults.

More to come later!

This is going to be a villain for an upcoming M&M Warriors & Warlocks adventure.  It’s a black-and-white image that I’ve been putzing around with coloring – it’s turning out okay in my humble opinion.
