Question for Steve re: TUBase

Steve

This week's mention of The Ultimate Base had me wondering... Since the Aarn project was scratched, did you have any plans on putting Aarn in The Ultimate Base as a Fantasy Hero 'campaign'?

 

I think that it would make a great chapter, and you might still get out some of your proposed ideas for the Aarn book using this book as a vehicle. If not, did you have any other TA Kingdoms in mind? I know it's early, so I wouldn't expect you to throw anything out with any kind of commitment to it.

 

Many thanks

Ron

At this point, no, I don't have any plans along those lines. However, I haven't really thought that far ahead -- right now I'm mainly focused on getting the rules for Kingdom creation and "combat" into place. (First playtest with my gaming group... tonight!) I'll definitely need some examples, and it might be fun for some of them to come from existing Hero Games settings. However, even if I chose Aarn specifically (which I doubt), the Kingdom write-ups aren't going to be so detailed that they'd come anywhere close to taking the place of a sourcebook. What's more likely is that I'd choose one region of, say, Ambrethel (like the Westerlands or Tornathia) and stat up all the Kingdoms as a way of showing what the rules can do.

Cool enough, thanks. Can't wait for that book... especially if you do a little something from the existing setting books (TA, TE, VA, and the like).
