That's why Tirikelu is only available as a PDF and not as a print copy. And the kind of rebuild that Peter Gifford and I would want to do is almost certainly not the kind of thing they'd authorize in any case.<br /><br />But, there is a plan B! I'm going to release Tirikelu using a different science fantasy setting, just as soon as I get a few spare months to work on it. The cover is already done and looks amazing.Dave Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468228790874490693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-87918243406916919872019-10-09T12:53:16.146+01:002019-10-09T12:53:16.146+01:00Well, never say never...

I could try doing it as a gamebook rather than an app, but that means just a few hundred players and text is not the ideal medium!<br /><br />As for Dragon Warriors -- I don't think Jewelspider will replace it. That's why I'm not calling it DW 2nd edition now. Some people may like it, others will stick with the version of Legend described in the DW books. There's room for both.Dave Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468228790874490693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-45354396876836002602019-09-03T13:21:23.404+01:002019-09-03T13:21:23.404+01:00The Winters Rage project sounds really interesting...The Winters Rage project sounds really interesting. I hope that gets some more steam, it sounds like a great way to tell a story from multiple perspectives of the different NPCs.<br /><br />I'm also keen to see how Jewelspider progresses. The system you have described in previous posts isn't quite my cup of tea but more material on Legend is always welcome.
