I'm just back from a quite relaxing vacation at my mother's place back in Germany to recharge, which means that on Monday, I will continue to work on the first "The Council of Gothmoor" adventure.
Stay tuned - and enjoy your weekend!

It's that time of the year already - time to take some time off to regenerate those small grey cells! As such, it will be some couple of weeks before I have any news about ANDERS and Valtetine.
I hope you enjoy your summer, too!

Great news! 😎
The ANDERS Core Rules (378 pages) are now finally available as a print-on-demand book on DriveThruRPG as well - for just US$59.99!
If you also want to own the PDF version, you can buy the whole bundle for US$64.99 instead!

www.drivethrurpg.com//product/549...
#AndersRPG #TTRPG #RPG
The image shows the front cover of the ANDERS Core Rules book. Because of the angle the photo was taken, you can see that the book is quite thick with its 378 pages. The photo shows a double page from the ANDERS Core Rules book, which is opened at the chapter "Health Status, Conditions, and Death", with a half-sided illustration of a healer stitching up a wounded warrior below the chapter's headline on the left page.

My print-on-demand proof of the ANDERS Core Rules has just arrived at my place, and the first impression is that it looks amazing!
Now I have to check that everything was printed correctly, then I can make it publicly available for ordering from DriveThruRPG.

Stay tuned! 😎
#AndersRPG #TTRPG #RPG
The photo shows the ANDERS Core Rules hardcover book laying on a white table, with its thick spine pointing towards the viewer. The cover page shows the already well-known orange-tinted photo of Cochem castle, with the "ANDERS" logo in orange at the top, followed by the smaller text "A Nimbly Designed Exciting Role-Playing System". In the lower part of the cover page, the book's title "Core Rules" can be seen in large white letters. Below it, it says "This book contains all information you need to be able to play ANDERS". The spine is brown, showing the ANDERS logo at the top, below it the book's title ("Core Rules"), and at the bottom, the RCP logo can be seen.

Since all the temporary illustrations in the ANDERS Core Rules have already been updated with the great art of Kiril Tchangov (kirilot.com), I've now made a hardcover print-on-demand of it.
As soon as my ordered print proof arrives and checks out, it will be available as well!
#AndersRPG #TTRPG #RPG
The image shows the first page of the chapter "Magic Skills and Spells" of the ANDERS Core Rules book, with a half-page coloured drawing of a mage casting an "acid ray" on their enemy, hurting the target quite badly. The enemy has an expression of pure horror on his face, staring at the now partly visible bones of his left hand and forearm!

When playing a character, who is trained in using weapons of war, what would be your preferred weapon— and why would it be a spear? 😁
And which one would your character would carry as a backup weapon?

Why don't you try out my great introductory adventure for ANDERS?

The cover of the introductory adventure. It shows the ANDERS title lettering, followed by "A Nimbly Designed Exciting Role-Playing System". The next line tells us that this adventure is part of the "Adventures in the Boltern Woods" series, followed by the adventure's title "The Missing Merchant". The background is a gloomy forest road (a somewhat wider path) in dark colours, with an orange tint. On the bottom left, an image depicting an older bearded merchant can be seen, and the text "An Introduction into ANDERS - by Stefan Giesen" besides it.

In preparation for creating the print-on-demand version of the ANDERS Core Rules book, I used the opportunity to improve the map for the Kingdom of Aroath a little bit.

Do you like the smoother design?

#AndersRPG #TTRPG #RPG #ttrpgDesign #mapmaking #mapdesign
The updated map of the Kingdom of Aroath. The coastline and deep sea borders have been changed from being full hexes to now being a nice smooth line, with some added colour effects. Additionally, the Boltern Wood part of the map has been adjusted to better reflect the smaller region map in regards to which hexes are actually part of the Boltern Wood.

In order to get it published in time for Christmas last year, the ANDERS Core Rules book used some CC/PD images for illustrations.
It took some time, but now the first illustrations from Kiril (kirilot.com) are coming in, and I think that they look gorgeous!
What do you think?

It's done!
The first adventure module for ANDERS, "Of Sheep and Wolves" is now available as a PDF on DriveThruRPG (the print-on-demand version will take a bit longer, since I first have to order a proof to make sure everything is correct)!

The picture shows the cover page of the first adventure module (M1) for ANDERS. The background image has a greenish tint and shows part of a ruin under a dark, cloudy sky, while the small image in the lower left shows a howling wolf. Below the usual header ("ANDERS - A Nimbly Designed Exciting Role-Playing System"), it reads: "Adventures in the Boltern Wood" (in smaller print, the region in which the adventure takes place) "Of Sheep and Wolves" (in large print, the adventure's title) At the bottom, besides the image of the howling wolf, it continues with: "An Adventure for Levels 1-3" "By Stefan Giesen"

I've finished proof-reading the new adventure "Of Sheep and Wolves", and it should be available as a PDF on DriveThruRPG sometime next week (as soon as the staff at DriveThruRPG has checked it for PDF errors, and found it to be OK).

I hope to be able to publish the PDF version sometime next week already (print-on-demand will take some more time to get a print proof first)!
