New Roleplaying System

New Roleplaying System

.

Imagine a role-playing game,

Where A player, once peasant, now High Fantasy Lesser God, from one reality.

Vs

Another Player, once desert farm boy, now commander of Planet Destroying sci-fi Battle Cruiser, from an enemy reality.

Could happen!

The massive edge of death battle that would ensue!

Winner take all Sci-Fi Universe vs High Fantasy Universe!

.

I wanted this,

So, I created this!

.

This is why I created the role-playing system called Battle Dirge.

.

Hail all fellow RP geeks!

I have been using a self-designed role-playing system among family and friends and I feel that I would like to make it publicly available.

This latest version will be Mk 5.

I call it BATTLE DIRGE mk 5

This will NOT be sold commercially.

It will instead, be given out for free as a PDF and on a Bespoke web site, as a “public domain” to anyone who wants it.

.

I first started this system when I was in my early twenties with those that would one day become my future brother's in-laws.

That was BATTLE DIRGE v1.

Version 4 of BATTLE DIRGE, I have played with both my children, over this last year.

.

One story was so good that I am thinking of turning it into a novel called the “Emily Sage Chronicles”!

NOW, I finally feel that a version 5 could be good enough to be offered to the world, to enjoy.

.

But taking all my hard to read scrapbooks and other bits and pieces and typing them all out neatly and professionally with nice illustrations is going to take A LOT of time and effort.

A LOT OF EFFORT INDEED!

Saying that it may take a hundred man-hours is a woeful understatement.

However, I still think that it is a project worth considering doing.

!

The systems features are…

!

1)

A universal ANY world setting system all fitting in one single PDF, including Ancient, Fantasy, gunpowder, modern-day, and sci-fi worlds!

(Instead of hundreds of different world and setting books)

!

2)

Mass Combat and Ruler Infrastructure systems included.

From lowly peasant to ruling an empire!

(Cities, lands and armies will all have their own “Character sheets” and game systems.)

!

3)

Optional “reality conflict rules” where sci-fi world elements and fantasy elements have an allergic reaction to each other….

!

4)

Ascension rules for various stages of levels of becoming a higher being (good or evil)

(That will work well with the “Reality conflict rules”, imagine A Fantasy God vs a Planet Destroying sci-fi Battle Cruiser!)

!

5)

(potentially only, not promised)

An included world setting with all the factions against a backdrop or two realities melting into one another.

Sci-Fi universe vs a HighFatasy One.

Each universe can only survive if the other one is destroyed

– And time is running out!

!

6)

A system so simple that you will not need a calculator and whose rule book will be under 250 pages!

If you can count to 100, know your 2x table, and roll a D20 then you can use it!

(System will need a full dice set, D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, and a D20!)

Not hundreds of reference tables and charts needed!

The aim is to have the finished work pruned back to being only 100 pages long and very intuitive!

!

PLEASE NOTE:

Feature 5, IS NOT PROMISED!

It will only potentially be done, time and expense permitting!

And it will have to be a second (but again, free to all) book of about 100 extra pages.

!

The finished work will take at least 100 man-hours, (not including all the illustrations I will also do)

So the £1500 is for my time, which will work out as well under normal minimum wage,

This is ok, as this is a work of passion and labour of love,

But I still need to eat…

!

The project will take about 3 to 6 months…

!

To finance this I am trying Crowdfunding for the first time EVER!

And I am hoping to raise 1500£ to do it,
