Westlands 2D6 System Role-Playing Game
 |
Hi! I'm William Murakami-Brundage¸ lead designer at Menagerie Press¸ LLC and an independent RPG writer.
Menagerie Press is creating Westlands¸ a 2D6-based fantasy RPG with streamlined mechanics based on the Sword of Cepheus open game license system reference document. The 2D6 fantasy system (Traveller¸ Sword of Cepheus) has a true sword and sorcery feel¸ allowing exploration and adventure in a savage land. Action resolution is quick¸ putting an emphasis on story¸ not rules.
In Westlands¸ we've taken the core open-license 2D6 fantasy reference material and are adding extra content¸ including reworked (more dangerous!) sorcery mechanics¸ optional rules for simple firearms¸ and an expanded bestiary.
The name Westlands is a nod to the West Marches RPG campaign style¸ which is a much more free-form¸ adventure-seeking campaign where the players decide their motivations and goals¸ rather than being directed via the game master.
Westlands is setting-neutral¸ and lets you create whatever adventure you imagine. It is built on the open-license reference material for Sword of Cepheus¸ which is a 2D6 fantasy RPG that is rooted in earlier 2D6 science-fiction RPGs.
