Jamie and I loved working on it, but I have a follow-up to Frankenstein to write as well as another two and a half seasons of Mirabilis... Oh, for a clone.<br /><br />Actually, a few years after Tetsubo I ran a campaign set in Japan's Heian period using Paul Mason's Water Margin rules. There, of course, are no samurai and none of those chaps in black pyjamas either. So if I were to revisit Japanese roleplaying now, I'd probably start afresh with that. Still, I'm glad to hear that the work we did on Tetsubo is getting some use. It was heartbreaking to have GW throw it in a drawer like that.<br /><br />I did hear something about the Keanu Reeves movie (gasp) but will try to focus on memories of the Mizoguchi version :-)<br /><br />Thanks for the adventure game tips. I planned to try Dear Esther but hadn't heard of Amnesia. I'll be sure to check it out. And please do let me know what you think of Frankenstein.Dave Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468228790874490693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321339472666778123.post-82192163957584864692012-06-06T05:52:05.342+01:002012-06-06T05:52:05.342+01:00Hi Dave!
"What a wonderous age in which we l...Hi Dave!<br /><br />"What a wonderous age in which we live..."-Jack Aubrey<br /><br />So, I actually have discovered your blog via a rather circuitous path. I am an avid Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay gamer and for some time have wanted to create material incorporating some of what TSR did with Oriental Adventures but give it much more of that gritty, dark warhammer feel. This led me to someone on the site called Strike to Stun suggesting your work Tetsubo. I downloaded it yesterday and have really thoroughly enjoyed your efforts at compiling all of that incredible legend and lore. <br /><br />I am curious as to how interested you are on filling in the "cracks" of that document? I would really like to show you some of the scenarios I've been working on and now would like to incorporate much of the Tetsubo material. <br /><br />I had to laugh when I saw the planned included scenario would be based on the 47 Ronin. Are you aware there's a big hollywood release planned for 2013 with a movie about that very tale. Although I'm horrified to say that the main protagonist is none other than our fine thespian here in the states Keanu Reeves. Yikes. <br /><br />Sorry if this is a bit of ramble but two more quick comments. I am really excited to look into your Frankenstein interactive book. My wife works in a small book shop that is always looking for new ways to keep up with great monolith that is Amazon and there have been many discussions about iPad like sampling opportunities within their shop. <br /><br />Finally, I really like the direction interactive literature is heading. With comics and video games as well. Have you played Amnesia: Descent into the Dark (great indy game, like walking through a Lovecraft novel) or Dear Esther (also amazing narrative experience game).<br /><br />Thanks for your time!<br /><br />Congrats on the critics reaction to Frankenstein.Curthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16185502375932369964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321339472666778123.post-21000641562498639342012-05-16T10:44:38.080+01:002012-05-16T10:44:38.080+01:00Btw this is a good place to say that Inkle do actu...Btw this is a good place to say that Inkle do actually prefer their company name to be written with a lower-case i, that is: "inkle". The only reason I don't do that is that it's not the style of this blog. Here, the poet's name is E. E. Cummings :-) But if you are mentioning it to anyone else and don't have a house style-sheet to honour, please use the logoized version.Dave Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468228790874490693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321339472666778123.post-72275981461260608672012-05-16T10:41:13.290+01:002012-05-16T10:41:13.290+01:00Thank you, Hamza.
