I am a bit excited. My graphic designer has informed me she expects to be finished with the PDF and print proofs of my coming book on Friday. This means that I’ll be ordering the test copies shortly. It’s cutting close to the October deadline I set but looks like we’ll make it.
This will be the first expansion I’ve published for my Fate based game: Demon Next Door; focusing on civilian life and slice of life game play in the Divine Blood universe. While the focus is obviously on giving more information about the setting and gameplay within the Fate based system I use, I hope that it will prove useful for anybody looking to do a similar style of game play as slice-of-life is a somewhat rarely touched upon game focus. Usually we focus on stories of adventure, horror and action. Though recent games have delved more into the daily life (such as Masks) of heroes alongside their peril-filled exploits. I was endeavoring here to give advice for dealing entirely with games set outside of a dangerous lifestyle. Reproducing shows like Clarissa Explains it All, Azumanga Daioh, Office Radio, WKRP in Cinicinnati, K-On, or Saved by the Bell.
Sorry about posting here I’m a bit bouncing in anticipation. After this I will be able to say there’s more than one book for the Divine Blood game. (And pretty soon I hope to have a couple more pieces of fiction out for the setting.)
