The RP³ (Ryzom Pen&Paper Project)
Posted: Wed Oct 01, 2008 6:40 pm
Hi folks.
Some of you might allready know know the idea, but I´ll present it here again.
Well, as Ryzom died a second time a while back, I remembered an idea that I had been roving around my head once I had first laid eyes on the game.
But our old friend GrimJim had beaten me to the cake back then, so to speak and had already proposed the idea of a Ryzom Pen and Paper RPG.
Well, he could not go on with his idea. So I picked up the torch when it was droped by GF and began a whole new project, named in reminiscence of the Ryzom Ring (R²)
The Ryzom Pen&Paper Project (RP³)
As you may remember I had already asked if you´d buy such a book, or books if they were ever produced. The response, from those actually interested in RP and not just scoffed at the very idea was quite positive.
So here I´ll propose it again.
With the help of a New-Zealand based friend of mine at Red-Brick ltd. we could produce Books on demand for a good price. If the new owners were willing to grant the print license to the company, like FASA did with Earthdawn and Holistic Design did with Fading Suns. Two classic RPGs set in worlds not entirely different in mood from Ryzom I might add.
Kathy Schad, one of their main Artists is a long time friend of mine too and I´m sure she could be coaxed into producing some of her marvelous art for us
So is Alex Wichert, Fading Suns creative Director, who´s a great writer too and I´m sure he could help us with writing.
Above you´ll find a Link to the project Wiki I´ve set up over the last year, since Ryzoms closure.
Due to RL business and the overall hobby nature of the project not extremely much as been done up until now, but I think we´ve managed quite some nice stuff there.
Important and for the record!
A Pen&Paper Game differs greatly from an Online Game and the world described in it is nothing close to "canonical" and varies to some degree from what can be perceived on screen. That is of course to provide an even greater spark to the imagination of players and GMs alike who´ll one day maybe set foot onto Atys bark from their living room, surrounded by friends and not just virtually via their PC
A RPG Game would of course bring money and reputation.
Money from book sales, and reputation from a well written content.
Players might even be tempted to try the online experience once they´ve got to know the world. Ideas from this "offline" version of Atys might even inspire graphic artists or devs to come up with new content, who knows.
So, if you´re interested to help us further this project apply here and we´ll see what we can do to get Players onto Atys.
At the moment I desperately need someone to write about the Zoraï.
The other races are covered quite fine, except due to RL reasons the Tryker.
PLEASE: Do apply here first before trying to edit the Wiki. I´d kept in under wraps for so long for a reason.
