Newsies RPG

So here we go, this is the first post of Newsies, a roleplaying game of low fantasy and high adventure in the fictional city of New Paris in the good old USA. They would not only have to sell papers and dodge poverty; no the whole have to save the city and the world from nefarious plots, solve mysteries, rescue the inocent and even face monsters.

And no, no special powers, nor magic, nor great tech. That’s for wannabe heroes who aren’t up for a challenge. Are you?

I’m afraid you aren’t going to find much of the rules on this blog, because I have just drafted them and have written but one thousand words of the main rulebook.

So far this is what I’ve done:

• Draft the rules in summary format.  
• Draft the New Paris City Map
• Sketched the game world.
• Contacted one illustrator for the cover
• Began the Character Creation Chapter
• Searched for some reference material
• …and set up this blog

I’ll keep you updated as I go.
