Rumblings and fun in the Fudge RPG community


I’m taking another break from Lost Heroes.

But what am I going to be doing on this break? Writing an adventure based on Lost Heroes! :)

After the Day of Fudge community event last Saturday (something I was unable to contribute to), the community has started a new project. Write a Fudge adventure for a month (also called The One Month Fudge Adventure Challenge!). Results to be uploaded to the Yahoo page. This isn’t a competition and you don’t even have to have a complete adventure. The point is to enjoy creating (and sharing) something with the community.

And hence, I’m writing one. I had planned all along to do three adventures for Lost Heroes, but they were always low priority and I put them completely out of mind last week, when I laid out my current plans for three “books”. However I had tons of ideas and so I’m picking up the first one to do. It’s going under the working title of “What is Lost” and it’s actually part one of a two-parter. It’s set in a pseudo-Celtic-historic period (a mix of Celtic romanticism, heroic age and historic elements i.e. you can make it up). Best to think of it as Celtic-fantasy. In contrast the second part adventure (with the working title of “What is Found”) will be set in the modern day. The purpose of the two part adventure was to give an introduction into some of the themes of Lost Heroes RPG. From the end of the second adventure, players and GM could start their own campaign.

I don’t what to give away too much yet, however I can say I have the plot down already. It’s rather simple, without much variance and also quite predictable (though I believe in this case it’s good). The important part is the actually player characters and they will take some careful preparation and thought.

I also want to make the game as pure Fudge as I can so as long as you’re familiar with Fudge, you can pick it up and play it or easily adapt it to you’re way of using Fudge. Once I’ve done the Book of Heroes and/or Book of Rules, I’ll probably produce an updated version of this adventure using Lost Heroes RPG system (which is a Fudge derivative).

Watch this space for the results of my efforts! :)
