While Treasure Hunters belongs firmly in the OSR universe, it is not a retroclone. It doesn't FLAILSNAILS. It only uses one kind of die, by design. The prose is, let me admit to this, impenetrable and condescending by design. And like Tony Stark once said about his Iron Man armor suits, each one is only a partial solution; the tinkering is the thing. Therefore I am happy to tell you, friend, that I've begun another game project called MYTHICAL JOURNEYS. MJ is a compatible child of the three early D&D Basic games by Holmes, Marsh and Mentzer. It is written in a modern, conversational style for young adults in the 8-12 year old range. It uses the standard array of polyhedral dice. It (will be) as slim as I can make it without making it sparse. This suggests the qustion, however: Does anyone need another increasingly-idiosyncratic clone of work that was more or less perfect 35 years ago and more? Well, no. Nobody needs it, and I don't really care if anyone wants it. Writing it is just for fun~ You can find the newest release of the game at my little blog site, www.treasurehuntersrpg.blogspot.comBe good to each other, beautiful babies

Scott how is progress going on Mythical Journeys? Do you have links to the PDFs (if you are not selling them - if you are I might have to save up my ducats)since your old blog got accidentally deleted? You sir are a creative beast.

There has been no progress at all. My editor has gone AWOL. I mean he still exists, but he doesn't want to do the editing for me pro bono.
If I had an editor, maybe, but not for a while. My energy is going toward writing a novel.

My energy is going toward writing a novel. Are you expanding your NaNoWriMo project??!! If so, that's amazing news! I really enjoyed the preview you posted on your blog. The seemingly disparate, yet converging storylines idea was brilliant! Keep it up and good luck!!!!!

OK, this answers my question in the other thread. Sorry to learn that you lost your editor, hopefully another will come along. In the meantime good luck on your novel. Maybe you should start a thread for it.

Do you have a teaser for your novel that you can share with us?
Are you self-publishing or do you have a publisher already?
If self-publishing, do you plan to do a kickstarter or something similar once the book is written?
