BWHQ is at Origins this weekend. We’re running panels — Conceptual Game Design, Practical Game Design, Game Design Is Mind Control and the Small Press Publishing Crash Course. We’re running games — FreeMarket, Mouse Guard, Action Castle, Burning Wheel and Burning Empires. And we’ll be wandering around running our mouths off. Be sure to stop in and say Hello if you’re at the convention!
Head on over to our store if you’d like to preorder the Adventure Burner. Grab a t-shirt while you’re at it. Dro not included!
There are only 200 preorders available!
The Adventure Burner contains three ready-to-play scenarios. The first of them is a revamped version of our classic demo scenario, The Sword. You can download it from our wiki now. You can also get it from our store, too.
I’ve uploaded the Beliefs commentary chapter to our wiki. Check it out!
Preorders for the Adventure Burner begin on Wednesday (June 16th) at 12 noon New York Time. We’ll only have 200 books available for preorder so get yours quick if you want one.
Check out the images for the upcoming limited edition Summer Secret Surprise 2010 t-shirt.
The veil is off. The Summer Secret Surprise for 2010 is the Adventure Burner. From the back cover:
Adventure: What we consider adventure, some call hardship, pain and certain death. The privation, the politics, the bloody fights all take their toll, but it is only when we struggle that we truly live. We fight to overcome. We deal for gain. We suffer for glory.
The Adventure Burner is the third supplement for the Burning Wheel Fantasy Roleplaying System. It provides a system for setting up and running sessions, adventures and campaigns. Examples are provided in the form of three ready-to-run scenarios—The Sword, Trouble in Hochen and Thelon’s Rift—and 42 sample characters.
In addition, this volume provides extensive insight into the Burning Wheel system. 150 pages of commentary guide the reader through the game and its application in play. A handful of new and clarified rules complete the book.
These assets make the Adventure Burner an invaluable resource for neophytes and haggard veterans alike.
368 pages, $25. Available for preorder Wednesday June 16th.
We’ll have previews up in the coming weeks.
