Best Supporting Actors: Adversaries and Allies launches next week on Kickstarter
Gaming Ballistic is pleased to announce the next release supporting Old-School Essentials.
In the pages of the book, find ready-to-play characters built as individuals. Each has a brief description, providing a snippet of their past, motivations, and salient details that make them unique. They’re not all combat monsters: Some must resort to duplicity, cunning, seduction, and guile to get by. Others are more “Thog smash!” and prefer to handle things with something blunt and heavy. There are enough that you’ll likely find one to fit your needs, as an adversary, ally, person encountered in a tavern, or as a pregenerated PC to get a game going fast.
The title link takes you to a “follow the campaign page.” I am hoping to have more layout and contents images Real Soon Now.
The book is planned as a 192-page black-and-white softcover release accompanied by a deck of quick reference cards of the same style as those from the OSE Solos campaign.
Stretch goals will allow for a custom cover and hopefully a hardback offset printing. I hope you’ll follow the campaign and back when it goes live Tuesday, March 7.
If this has a stretch goal of Foundry VTT tokens statted up, then I’m all in. Using GCS to build characters is a nightmare for me.
This is for Old-School Essentials (a D&D variant) rather than GURPS or Powered by GURPS.
That being said…hmmm. I bet OSE has a Foundry thing going on.
To your point: I feel that in order to be properly GURPSy, I’d want to have color drawings of all the characters, and I suspect that’s something in the $17-26,000 and months of work just for the art. I’m not saying “no” because I want to do this. I am saying “not yet” because I just don’t have that kind of funding to do that in advance.
