This blog will contain three distinct but connected series of posts. They will be posted in a logical consecutive order within each series, but without a strict schedule or pattern between the various threads.
The first series will discuss the game rules and other mechanical aspects. Everything from character creation to combat to the actual act of physically playing the game will be discussed in detail, organized by topic of discussion and area of play.
The second series will discuss the setting of the game, detailing all subjects relevant to the time period and location, so as to provide players and game-masters with as much material to work with and resources to reference as possible. This series will include but is not limited to: maps, a lexicon, a naming guide, and numerous brief essays discussing everything from warfare to food to politics to religion is a historically accurate way, with notes on how to incorporate this information into the game in a healthy manner, without compromising the fun.
The third series will provide detailed examples of play, prefabricated scenarios and adventures, example player characters and NPCs, advice on things like handouts and props, as well as essays and musings on the style/tone of game-play this setting is designed for and how to encourage players to role-play.
This particular post will be updated often, as it will serve as a hub for the various series, which will all be linked to below, each post linking back to here as well.
