This Week I"m Enjoying Working on My Rules

More prep work is going into our new campaign than I've done in a long time. This is due to our selecting Age of Heroes (a home grown set of rules) for it. Much of that is clean up, as I insisted that I get our notes and draft rules into shape so I can toss it up on something like Lulu and get myself a hardback copy of the (core) rules. I'm done with binders, it's time to have a real book.

The other part is doing the campaign supplement. Age of Heroes is a game first, but still a rather strong simulation second. It was originally created for Lord of the Rings and Chronicles of Prydain style gaming. That's a long way from Claymore. So it needs significant rule additions to manage that.

What has been gratifying is the fact that no rule additions have been needed. Back when I did a test for using these rules for Star Wars, I found that they were far more adaptable than I would have given them credit for. Right now I'm trying to work out the core mechanical concept for the setting- Yoki.


So far things are going well, and everyone is looking forward to the first play test of the supplement. Currently it looks like we can do the first of those this weekend.
