It’s been a while since I posted anything about YARC! (Yet Another Retro Clone). There’s no real sense in coming up with a whole new game. But throwing together many of the things I like into one crazy document and running with it. Now that sounds more fun. I deliberately keep this document brief and simple.
First, you’ll note I went for a heavy Sword & Sorcery feel for this. No elves or dwarves. I really felt like breaking out of that mold. Also, consider this a little bit of a preview for my Skarynth project (a setting/rules variant/supplement for Swords & Wizardry and Crypts & Things).
Looking at this you’ll the strong influence of Lamentations of the Flame Princess (Heck it uses the same spells) and a variation on the random character advancement from Green Devil Face No. 5. Plus there’s a few things that were influenced by Swords & Wizardry and Castles & Crusades.
So there you go what inspired me to create this little set of house rules. Now, what am I going to do with it? Chances are I’ll either get a game started either on G+ or at the FLGS. Exact dates aren’t set yet. I’ve a few little scheduling things I have to take care of this month before I can commit.
