The Novarium Virtual Box Set: The Plan

We shall see how well this plan survives contact with the enemy, but based on the weekend's passion I want to kind of lay out my plans for Novarium as a "product". Unlike my previous games, Novarium will not be a stand-alone game. It will be a part of a "virtual box set" or collection of books similar to what one might expect in a real box set (albeit entirely PDF).



This set will include:

1. The Novarium Character Guidebook (comparable to Errant in terms of subject)
2. The Novarium Gamemaster Guidebook
3. The Novarium Bestiary
4. The Devil's Fork Campaign Guidebook
5. The Devil's Fork Dungeon Designs (a series of non-linear PDF dungeon maps similar to Aqualii Temple)
6. Various maps as their own separate PDFs

Because I am moving the Bestiary and Dungeon Maps into their own books, I can fill the Campaign Guidebook with a ton of material without getting caught up in the minutia that modules typically bring.

Now you may be thinking "this looks like a metric fuck-ton of work" and you are right. It is.

But I told you that this year I am focusing on craftsmanship. Weren't you paying attention?  :)
