Good day to you all.
It is my pleasure to make a great announcement.
Not that I am father again (at least, not for now, I have serious RPG to work on :wink
, but to tell you of the new kid on the RPG block, and one who'll ring a bell for every gamebooks lover: Scriptarium (with a "a").
This is both the name of the NGO started up by a dozen french speaking aficionados and of its main relay, a fanzine.
We do not come from nowhere. We were instrumental in releasing high-quality Lone Wolf products at Le Grimoire (the French LW RPG editor) : translations from Mongoose texts, but scenario writing too, and rule and background developments (with the help of Joe Dever himself in 2009), still integrating all the available datas, including the latest ones (as mini-adventures and novels).
We met at Le Grimoire, and we learnt to work together and, more than that, to _love_ to work together. It then came naturally that we wanted to go one step beyond. And now it is. Scriptarium.
We won't explain here why we are taking that route (that’s not the place). But one thing is for sure: we do love Joe Dever's masterpiece and it is our will to pay tribute to it and contribute to its continuation and development in the most faithful possible way. For us, for the fans, for the reader. For all.
Le Grimoire will continue translating Mongoose texts, we prefer expanding the world and the game (keeping consistency beween both editors, of course).
Then, should some people be interested in this project, they’d be more than welcome! OK, the difference of language could be a problem, but we understand English and most of us can write something understandable (if not perfectly correct) in English -Bittermind or Koreth, with whom we started some works last year, could testify. And we plan to make translations in English of our works too (which could be published in our fanzine, online or submitted to Signs & Portents). We just need help to do that in reasonable delays.
And we too have a need for more graphical designers. Our doors are open !
We give you a rendez-vous in some months for the release of the first issue of Scriptarium, le mag'. The content is still in its inception - note that we already have a lot of text and maps relating to Durenor, Kalte, the Wildlands, Cloeasia, Vassagonia and the Stornlands, (including never-before-seen data by Joe Dever), two new character classes, scenarios and campaigns from three different authors, and much more screaming to published.
See you very soon. In the meantime, we wish you several epic Lone Wolf sessions!
