D101 Games in 2011 – the Year of the Wombat!

January 24th, 2011 by Newt

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).

Welcome to the world of Old School done New School! This ‘Genre Pak’ aims to emulate the feel and excitement of those early dungeon based adventures of the 70s/80s. It is designed so you can quickly and easily generate heroes, pick up the small amount of genre specific rules, and then head down the example dungeon. If you are looking to introduce your players to HeroQuest, in a setting that should be familiar and comfortable to all of them,  this is the book to do it with.

Ye Little Book of HeroQuest Dungeoneering is split into five sections.

1. Hero generation. Four class keywords and four racial keywords, with guidance on how to create old school heroes of Sword and Sorcery.

3. Monsters. Guidance on how to convert your favourite old school monster to HeroQuest.

4. Dungeon Design. A frame work for quickly creating dungeon based adventures.
