LIGHT WITHOUT SHADOW, BLADE WITHOUT EDGE - A Fantasy Adventure For BRP Heroes

[DMF]

Hey kaddawang and everyone else...

I want to thank you for your opinion(s) and your taking the time to buy Light Without Darkness, Blade Without Edge.

As the creator I have this urge to want to jump in and defend my "baby." As a writer I understand that it needs to stand on it's own feet and weather criticism good and bad without me making excuses and such.

I'll say this

I'm working on a prequel that will take place 10 years before LWDBWE and fill in more of the world as well as showing us how one of the monks came to be the master of the Jag Voc's of Myrhone. Also we'll visit Stand Town, as it's being built and Dymond Hold when it was a thriving town, before the comming of the vangfur...and I promise no more time traveling.

I want to show you the world but rather than give you just a bunch of maps and stats I want to give you adventures so you can play the world. Obviously I didn't balance world vs adventure well in LWDBWE but I will strive to do better in the future book "The Gold Road."

Once again thanks for your opinions

Good luck David. :thumb:

Is it worth considering an expanded work perhaps with a substantive adventure as planned, but much more background material included? Or did you hope it (LWDBWE) would be sufficiently generic to not require more background material?

I haven't yet purchased LWDBWE (it will be on my next order of print monographs :thumb so can't comment on that, but my questions are based on the thoughts posted here.

As someone mentioned earlier it is based on an ongoing world. I wanted to showcase some of it but still make it something that could be run on any world. I wanted to avoid the trap that many world based scenarios have where it's too alien to be run by most. However I seemed to have walked into a different trap...lol.

LWDBWE is kinda generic. Based on feedback "The Gold Road" will be less generic and be more of a tour through the world via a supply caravan. There will be sub adventures scattered through it and an overarching quest. There will also be more information on Deserata and the coming civil war. Since this will be a prequel we'll see some of the stuff that got the ball rolling for the Long Night depicted in LWDBWE.

I appreciate the feedback offered here and I know that it can only make me a better writer and story teller.

Hi, DMF.

It's good to have you here, and I was hoping you'd drop by.
I really had no intention of throwing your, or any other babies, to the dingos.

Light.. wasn't bad, but as you said, you seem to have failed the "Detect Trap"-roll
I'd very much like to see another mono from you:thumb:

Welcome aboard David. I should have said that earlier...

Thank you for the welcome. Well when I am done with my current project I'll be getting back to The Gold Road. It's going to be much longer so I'll probally not be done with it until the end of September.

If you want to read more about the world you can catch my "unedited" work at D&D 3.5 Avalyn Adventure (8 years of game write-ups) - RPGnet Forums

This is the ongoing adventure log from my campaign, warning there is little spelling or punctuation done, its just a record to help me keep the game straight.

Cool! :cool:

Are you speaking of September next month?

Do you have a blurb for The Gold Road, maybe an image too, for the front page?

SGL.

[DMF]

My deadline to get it to Dustin is the end of September...however I will probally need to ask for more time since I have another project for a different company that just popped up, so Gold Road will probally slip a bit.

Gold Road is fully titled, "Her Salvation, a Golden Road in The Sky." But the title is too long so it's just "The Gold Road."

I don't have any cover art yet.

Tell us more about "Her Salvation, a Golden Road in The Sky" !
How is the project going?

SGL.

[dmavalyn]

Hey!

"Her Salvation, a Golden Road in The Sky!" is due to Chaosium in August and then it's up to them on printing deadlines.

Basically the plot revolves around a caravan carrying a very valuable carge from the deep southern regions to the city of Sylvia's Rest. It's a excuse for the characters to expore the world and see more of it than they did in "Light Without Darkness, Blade Without Edge."

I promise no time travelling...

Promise
