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!
