Several years ago C.R. Brandon, author of
Heroes & Other Worlds, was working on a grittier sword & sorcery version of
HOW called
Blades & Black Magic.
B&BM is based on
HOW which in turn was inspired by
The Fantasy Trip of 80s fame. Thus, with the sword & sorcery focus and its pedigree, I was very much looking forward too it. In fact I even listed it as the game I was
most looking forward to in 2015. Mr. Brandon had to put the development of
B&BM on hiatus for a while but now its back. He's working on it again, testing various aspects and tinkering with various mechanics. And I 'm excited again!
You can see the latest developments at Mr. Brandon's
Heroes & Other Worlds Blog.
