Current Projects

Currently I am working on two projects. The first is a campaign for the Star Wars Saga RPG. With the development title, Darth Mandalore this "ready-made" campaign will include a complete story plot with encounters and NPC's and will take the players from lvl 1 all the way up to 20.

The Second project is a completely original work. The end goal is to have stand alone rules and game mechanics to create a Nano-Tech RPG. Characters will utilize their social awareness, athletic prowess, and mental fortitudes to function in a future Earth where humans accomplish colossal deeds utilizing the smallest of machines.

More will be revealed, but for now, here is the opening crawl for the Saga Campaign.

Opening Crawl:

Ten years after the end of the Mandalorian War and the Sith Wars, conflict continues as consistent skirmishes expose the embers of war. Meanwhile, the peoples of the galaxy try to find stability and live peacefully among each other. The Republic, under the guidance of the Jedi, relentlessly chase the Sith back to their core systems. Sith forces, after years of retreat and skirmishes, refuse to leave quietly and continues to harass and engage the Republic’s military and its citizens. The exhaustion of conflict has set into the once serene Galactic Republic, and the populaces of both
Sith and Republic sense the growing resentment of certain citizens within their systems. A few have begun to chafe under the rule of the Republic and the Sith, and have started expressing their malcontent through unconventional acts.

Beyond the explored borders of either the Galactic Republic or the Sith Empire a clan of Mandalorians, rejected by their own people, ekes out an existence as soldiers for hire among the strange and mysterious worlds of the Unknown Regions.
Surviving through the cunning which had once held the galaxy in awe, they made their way to Giaca, the only world that has received them.

Ribbon Cutting

Welcome to the RPG Factory. This page is going to be an attempt at pseudo-publishing Role Playing Material. Some posts will utilize rpg literature and sourcebooks already in print. Other posts will be written without any ties to previously written rpg materials. Every post will be original.

My hope is that, as the title of this page suggests, this will be a factory in which whole worlds of rpg are constructed and prepared. My other hope is that these writings and ideas would be shared with others to inspire, excite and entertain. Any comments are welcome. Any ideas are welcome. Expect solid works of literature, and when you have a critique, question, or suggestion that comes to mind, add it to the comments section. So let's cut the ribbon. Pull the levers, press the buttons, and start the machines. This factory is open.

(Also, if anyone knows of a good resource for background pictures and graphics for blogs--or any easy ways to make my own--could you let me know).
