Two Page Campaign Area Writeup

Reading around Dragon'sfoot, a poster submitted a two page write-up for a campaign area. (Link to thread here.) The submission was a write up for the Principality of Kedmere.

This is a concise and easily adaptable summary of a campaign area, complete with a map. Major cities and towns get a good description along with population, leaders, and other important details.

It is easy to imagine that providing more detail to areas within Kedmere could be done with a similar two page write up. For example, a writeup on Belmord complete with city map, building details, etc.

All in all this is an excellent way of presenting broad areas of the campaign world. I can get lost in centuries of history, but this straight-to-the-point presentation is 'just right'.

New Link Added

Added a new link to Nailbiter Games. Nailbiter Games specializes in sports sims. I've downloaded a couple and they look very interesting.

These games are not in the Statis-Pro or APBA category. Each game is an abstraction that looks at the relative strengths of two teams and provides highlights of each drive.

One game, however, allows for a distribution of points to a team's roster. It is called Coach's Call Football and is avaiable here. QB's have a cost, the better rating, the more costly. Skill positions have a cost. The Defense is a generic rating, but you can rater the DL and LB on a 1-5 scale. The same is true of the OL.

It wouldn't be hard to imagine using this system to rate all the teams and recreate a season. Just may have to fiddle with it and see what turns up.

This game is chart-heavy. This doesn't bother some folks, but I thought it would be fair warning for others that may not like a game with seven results charts.

Open D6 PDFs

UPDATE: June 6,2011 - About a dozen folks come here a day, so I want to provide the most up to date list

UPDATE: Four new files now available as of today.

The pdf files for OpenD6 are now available. Thanks to a user that goes my Temprus, the OGL has been added to the original PDF files. As of July 28, 2009, not all links work. I've marked the ones that are not currently working. Let me know if a pdf comes available, the link is correct for the file once it is available and uploaded.
