hmmm.
I was stuck with the Idea to create a DW hack inspired by teh old Pulb magazines like Weird Tales and Amazing Stories as well as their ancestors the Penny Dreadful. Stories of the Planetary Romances and Retro Scifi genre dipped deep into a grim dreadful non-warhammer world.
Have you seen Johnstone Metzger’s Adventures on Dungeon Planet? It gets a lot of the pulpy, sword-and-planet feel.
If that’s not what you’re looking for, elaborate! Because I would be interested.
Yes I know that, but I want to create my own version, more grim and darker in tone.
Also my Style of publications would be to publish smaller and modular 24page Playsets. Always centered about a Story/Adventure, Theme/Setting or a Location which could stage all thoses. Also Creaturebooks.
And what is one of the most important parts here, train ym skills in Retro Cover Paintings, as I intend to recreate those fantastic Old Covers in my own way. Maps, yes Maps, endless maps 😀
Also check Sage’s upcoming game Black Stars Rise, which runs more toward the cosmic horror end of weird fantasy. It’s actually based off World of Dungeons but has grown well beyond that.
Yes, I have read the first draft, cant wait to see a full book of that. But i Still look for a slightly other tone. Maybe something in between booth?
Maybe creating it in a Pulp-Magazine format itself would be fun and capturing the Atmossphere taht I am looking for
I’ve been tinkering with a hack that seeks to encompass the range of pulp genres from the 20’s through the 40s, from space opera to wild west to high seas adventure, and had a similar idea about small modular booklets designed in the classic style. Go for it!
Cool, what have you archived so far? Is tehre any material ready? Would love to see what would come out of that.
