Sorry for the long silence: it's been all about Dark Heresy (using the RT/Necromunda-derived Book of the Arbitrator fan rules) around our way recently, and InquisiMunda - although fun - is Off Topic for a Classic D&D blog.
New and improved version of SBVD (ver0.3) uploaded. Thanks again for downloading, perusing, using and feeding back.
Tweaks include:
+ switched to pdf format.
+ prettificated with public domain pics.
+ Added Social Injustice rules.
+ Experimented with Drugs and Poisons.
+ Played with Madness.
+ Split off Encumbrance.
+ Acquired Retainers.
+ Dabbled in higher Magic.
+ Obsessed over Treasure.
+ Extended the Menagerie.
+ Opinionated waffle given free rein in the footnotes.
++ SBVD character sheet.
If interest is expressed I'm happy to reformat the game for the OSR's preferred Format of Awesome (A5, 8.5" x 5.5").
Possibly of interest to those who remember White Dwarf back when it was good: Gobbledegook skirmish game by Sean Patten. My impressions on a first read: lotsa zoggin' fun! Take a couple of minutes to look over his other homebrew games and his fantastic scenery collection (including "how to" guides).
Edit: also of possible interest. Noisms' dungeoneering dog breeds and dog quirks-and-traits table.

Huzzah!
ReplyDeleteAwesome stuff. I love your expecting us to know something about the game thus saving yourself a lot of unnecessary blather. I love that you put some of your own design reasoning in the text. I love how well you managed simple and interesting with the drugs and poisons subsystems. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWhen should we expect your SBVD videochat game?
ReplyDelete@Telecanter: Aw shucks. I just do what the voices in my head tell me.
ReplyDelete@Zak: (nathanexplosion) NEVER! (/nathanexplosion) I don't hold with this newfangled videophone witchcraft. Steals your soul, so it does.
