Kuf, redan en gnostisk skräcktrippel!

Kuf är ett skräckrollspel i en gnostisk nutidsvärld.  Dess regler bygger på OSR-spelet Knave av Ben Milton och spelvärlden är en skruvad version av vår egen. Spelet handlar om kufar och kultister som anar att världen inte är riktigt som den verkar och därför dras in i en vild jakt på kunskap och makt.

Spelet kom ut i samband med GothCon tidigare i år och linjen består redan av en grundbok, äventyret Origenes och tidningen Bortom Barriären som huvudsakligen samlar inskickat material till spelet.

Podcasten Nordnordost ägnade också hela avsnitt 59 till att prata om Kuf. Passa på att lyssna på den om du vill höra mer om spelet, och vad som mer är på gång till det.

 

… but with a bang.

Google+ is going away.

I can’t overstate the role it has played in my life over the years.  So many gaming friends made and so many games I first learned about on G+ and then came to love. The game design community over there has been amazing. It might not be the end of the world, but I will miss it dearly when it’s gone.

I made an account on MeWe. But its not the same thing, not yet anyway. Who knows what will come

Life goes on. There’s a Facebook group for Wilhelm’s Games now. Join it if you want to chat about my games, or need help with the rules or something.

Browsing through my old G+ posts I found this picture of me advertising a sale of my Sci-Fi RPG While the World Ends. Since then there has been a new edition of the game,  illustrated by Claudia Cangini.

It would be a shame to not make use of the picture, so I  made a discount link for the new edition. Click the picture and you can pick up the PDF for $3.33 over on DriveThruRPG.

 

 

 

OKULT in German translation

My slow horror RPG OKULT is now available in German translation. You can find it at the usual places.

When I did the layout of the book I couldn’t get the original layout files that we used to do the English edition.  So the German edition has a different layout than the English one. It also has a slightly different selection of images, as I couldn’t find the high resolution files of the images that we used in the first round. Anyway, it is still the same game.

To celebrate I have made a discount bundle at DriveThruRPG which contains both the new German edition and the old English one.  So if you haven’t picked it up already, now is a great opportunity to do so.

Dödsmatch 2000 till Cyber M/77

Det första äventyret till Cyber M/77 är ute nu – Dödsmatch 2000.

Du hittar det på Lulu och DriveThruRPG.

Cyber M/77 är klart!

Framtiden är en mörk dystopi.

Alla farhågor om naturkatastrofer, krig, sjukdom och svält besannades, och de slog med större kraft än vad någon kunnat föreställa sig.

Men människan reste nya städer till skydd, och städerna växte lager på lager, nytt ovanpå det gamla.

På de nedersta nivåerna lever de allra fattigaste i trängsel och yttersta misär.

Längst upp går det klara dagar att skymta en blå himmel bortom molnen. Där lever megakorporationernas elit bekymmersfria liv i extremt välstånd.

Och mellan dessa ytterligheter pulserar staden av liv.

Sedan i maj förra året har jag tillsammans med en projektgrupp skrivit ett nytt cyberpunkrollspel i klassisk svensk stil. Slå grundegenskaper med 3t6, slå mot färdigheterna med t100, bråka med gäng, bli förföljd av en ond AI, planera en stöt mot ett företag.

Hundra sidor rollspel med fantastiska illustrationer av Elizabeth Porter.

Köp det nu på Lulu eller DriveThruRPG!

 

 

The Daughters of Verona is back in print

The Daughters of Verona is back in print, sort of.  I have put all the cards and the rules into a booklet which is available via Lulu.  The center pages can be lifted from the book, and then cut down with scissors to make the two decks of cards needed to play the game.

The game was already available as a PDF via DriveThruRPG, but this booklet edition will allow those who don’t have access to a color printer to still make a play set in color.

The paper in the booklet is surprisingly sturdy, but for durability I propose that you put the cards in standard sized card sleeves (e.g. those suitable for Magic the Gathering, any fine local game store can help you pick the right ones). Get 100 sleeves, or 50 each of two different colors if you want to separate character cards from story cards by color (not necessary for play).

 

 

While the World Ends with illustrations by Claudia Cangini

At last, five months since the crowdfunding, the illustrated version of While the World Ends is completed.  The full color illustrations were made by Claudia Cangini earlier this year.

With this edition I have gone over the text to make it easier to understand, and some rules have been clarified, but not changed.

From a play perspective there is no need to upgrade, but if you want the new version for the pictures you can get it here: While the World Ends Upgrade bundle.

 

 

Status of the WTWE Crowdfunding

The pictures are mostly complete.  Claudia is laying the final touch on them.

And while I’ve been waiting I have done another editing run on the text, hopefully it will be even easier to get into the game now.

Status of the While the World Ends crowdfunding

Hi,

I have started revising the text as well while I am waiting for my slot on Claudia’s schedule later in January.

If you have something to say about the current text, or something you had problems with when you have played, now is the time to tell me.  Perhaps I can address your issues now that I’m going over the text again. Send me an email or write a response to this post.

And Happy New Year, everyone.  Thanks for your support.

The crowdfunding has ended

Thanks for your support, everyone!

Things will be quiet until sometime in January, when Claudia has the time to resume the work on While the World Ends.

Once all the backers have received the updated file with the new art I’ll get started on a print version of the game.
