Whether its Christmas, Yule, Saturnaila or just “Hurrah I’m off for week!” that you’ve been celebrating recently, all at D101 Games wishes you a happy one :)

Keep your eyes peeled for our upcoming “D101 marches into 2012″ update over the next couple of days :)

Crypts and Things available for Pre-Order

Tuesday, October 4th, 2011

Crypts & Things is a Swords and Sorcery game based upon the class/level based Old School roleplaying game rules from the late 1970s, with the rules modified to emphasise the genre.

Its a game where the players play Barbarians, Fighters, Magicians, and Thieves struggling to survive in the dying world of Zarth. Looting long dead cities, tombs and battling Serpent Men and their demonic allies.
It is a world where action and exotic adventure is the name of the game.

It takes its inspiration form the works of Clark Ashton Smith, HP Lovecraft, Michael Moorcock, Robert E. Howard and the gaming material of the early British role-playing publications of the 70s-80s.

It is 150 pages long and is copiously illustrated with black and white pictures.

Its now available to pre-order in a variety of formats (pdf, Print/Pdf bundles etc) over at indiegogo.com

Not only will you get the game before it goes on general release, but if you take part in the Pre-order and we reach the Goal you will receive a free copy of the first adventure module for the game “Blood of the Dragon”.

Here’s the cover by the supremely talented Jon Hodgson.

D101 Games in 2011 – the Year of the Wombat!

Monday, January 24th, 2011

A bit belated, but here’s a quick run down of what D101 is upto in 2011.


Wombat
The rules for Monkey were originally a fork of a system that I call Wombat, which used a single D6 as a randomiser instead of cards.  Now that Monkey is out and about, I’m working on Wombat to make it into a light weight rules-wise but immersive play-wise story telling game, that I can use as a quick in-house system for a variety of ideas I have. Currently in Alpha, but aiming for a October (Furnace release).
