  1. Stephen Karnes I wasn’t sure what I was going to do for Issue 3 until I woke up with the idea and the title completely spelled out for me. I don’t remember a dream. It was just all there.

    The next two will probably go pretty quickly too. Next issue is my attempt at airships and nautical stories and the one after that will probably be a Thundarr style mash-up.

    Part of the reason these are coming out so fast is that enthusiasm is my primary driver. I don’t have the style that Jason Cordova has. I don’t have the genius that Ray Otus has. All I have is excitement and access to some pretty good open source applications.

  2. Logan Howard I think these are coming along really well. I’ve picked up all three issues so far. I’ve got a couple things on DriveThru as well and any money I get off of them I put back into the community, so I’m happy to throw a couple bucks your way for Swordbreaker. Keep it up the hard work. I’ve got an adventure starter I’m working on at the moment I’ll send your way when I’m finished.

  3. “I don’t have the genius that +Ray Otus has” … OH, PLEASE! 🙂 But thank you for the compliment. BTW, Logan Howard, we should collaborate on the airship thing maybe. Though you might be going a different place than I am. I have a plan for Plundergrounds 4 that involves liveships/aetherships (an homage to Spelljammer). Anyway, I’ll be curious to see your take on airships. That sounds cool.

  4. Logan Howard Ray and I help each other with our respective zines (and, in truth, I have a HUGE amount of help compared to most zine publishers). Let’s do something together on Codex or SB!

  5. Stephen Karnes Scribus is what I should be using. So far I’ve just done everything in Gimp and Libre Office.

    I really like Rocks and Roots materials. Thank you for the feedback and suggestion. I remember thinking that Scribus looked a little like Indesign. That would make more sense than the way I’m doing it now.

    I look forward to the adventure starter!

  6. Logan Howard I’m using iBooks author for the PDF side and Affinity Designer / Affinity Photo for everything else. I have Scribus but haven’t sat down to learn it yet.

    Let me know if you want to work on anything together. Grad-school + Job has slowed down my output, but I’m getting back into making content.

  7. Ray Otus that sounds great! I was planning on flipping this next issue around so that the mechanical stuff comes first and then a lot of starters (and maybe a campaign front) follow.

    I am planning a number of different takes on airships. Some will be organic (grown from dragon-whales) and lead to a possible compendium class where the PC can merge with the ship. Others will be very industrial and menacing.

    I want to do something similar to what Brian Holland has been doing with starters that draw inspiration from familiar stories. It’s really cool how the players can answer a question and lead down a completely different path.

    Let me know what you’re thinking. It would be fun to collaborate.

  8. Jason Cordova I would be honored to work together with you. Codex is a big deal to me.

    I hope we can fire up Dungeon World fans to make zines like those awesome DCC fans do. I get the OSR/zine connection but DW seems like a very natural engine for a similar movement.

  9. WTF, this is awesome: “I am planning a number of different takes on airships. Some will be organic (grown from dragon-whales) and lead to a possible compendium class where the PC can merge with the ship. Others will be very industrial and menacing.”

    Forget I said anything about collaboration on this. We can work together on something else. I want to see your “pure” take on airships without my interference. My idea is totally different – along different lines, anyway.
