Rob Lang of the Free RPG Blog has presented a guide on how to write a free RPG, and since it looks like he’s now done (which is his cue to add an Epilogue, just watch) I thought I’d present a list of links to each section of the guide.
- Prologue
- Chapter 1: Inspiration
- Chapter 2: Research
- Chapter 3: Writing and Style
- Chapter 4: Setting
- Chapter 5: System
- Chapter 6: Organization
- Chapter 7: Testing
- Chapter 8: Publish
All in all I like how it’s presented. I’ve copied the entire thing to a Word file (so I can convert it to an EPUB and load it onto my ebook reader and read it during my commute, when I have more time to absorb the material).
Hey Keith, I am thrilled you like my guide. The only epilogue will be a PDF version of the guide, which will build in feedback from designers who are trying to use it right now!
Thank you!
you’re quite welcome, Rob. I found it caused me to rethink some of my assumptions for Echelon d20. I haven’t had time to go back and write about the changes, but I expect to fairly soon — hopefully later this week.
Thanks for writing it!
