13 Chapters, 5 Appendices


grald_the_hunter over on the DCC/TA-TG forum requested that I do some blogging on the status of Transylvanian Adventures' doneness. So here I'm including the Table of Contents with some notes on the status of each of the sections. In future blogposts, I'll go overly briefly what each chapter contains, as well as highlighting which portions can be used independently of TA/TG.

Player's Sections

I: Introduction - (done, under review)
II: Rule Enhancements - (done, under review)
III: 0-Level Adventurers - (done, under review)
IV: Character Classes - (done, under review)
V: Equipment and Wealth - (done, under review)

Judge's Sections

VI: Skills - (done, under review)
VII: Magic - (done, under review)
VIII: Transylvania - (redrafting, about 80% done)
IX: Campaigning - (drafted, needs redraft)
X: The Hexmap - (drafted, needs redraft)
XI: Monsters and Encounters - (outlined, needs draft)
XII: Adversaries - (outlined, needs draft)
XIII: Sample Adventure - “Horror on Starkweather Mountain” - (done, under review)

Appendices

Appendix A: Research & Investigation - (done, under review)
Appendix B: In Between Adventures - (done, under review)
Appendix C: Random NPC Chart - (done, under review)
Appendix D: Random Name Charts - (done, under review)
Appendix E: Combat Events Table - (done, under review)

Extra Material

0-Level Character Sheet - (done, under review)
Character Sheet - (done, under review)

The reason the Monsters and the Adversaries chapters are still in outline stage is because I didn't get a look at how DCC was going to handle monsters until the final draft was made available. This is the first chance I've gotten to compare my notes to DCC because I've been very busy finalizing the character classes and the copious charts included with Transylvanian Adventures.

Back on the Rack

It's been a long time. But I'm still here. Still working on stuff. Over the last few months, here's what I've been up to. I took a brief hiatus around the end of last year and the start of this year. The holidays are always busy. And work was busy as well. Work's really continued to be busy. I consider that a good thing but it does hamper my ability to devote time to writing. During this hiatus, I took the time to explore what the tabletop RPG community had been up to. I read a number of books, played in some games, ran some games, funded some Kickstarters -- all that stuff I enjoy doing when I'm not the "Transylvania Guy". This is generally a time when I collect ideas. It was helpful when I came back from hiatus to look at Transylvanian Adventures  again with fresh eyes. I've been in contact with a potential co-author for TA . He's very interested and a legit writer to boot. Because he's legit, his schedule is just as crazy as mine...

Only Mostly Dead

Well, that went by quickly. It's been a couple of very challenging months here. I've been able to dive into TA sporadically. But it's not uncommon at this point for my work hours to be 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. or later. So time has been at a premium the last few months. Here's a brief update to remind everybody that I am still, in fact, working on this. NTRPG I did not make it. I was on a plane with my 7-year-old and 5-year-old to fly them to the grandparents. I was optimistic that this would free up some time for the book but it didn't work out that way. As far as the book, here's where it stands. The Good I'm about a third of the way through re-writing the monsters. The new format works fairly well for me and exists in some strange place in between DCC RPG , 13th Age, and Dungeon World . As part of the Monsters section, I'm working on the Advanced Rule Options as well. This where the infamous "cleavage rule" joins us. The prima...
