Update on New Book for 9 Portals RPG

I'd hoped to be near the completion of the new Portal Master's Guide for the Nine Portals RPG system by mid December of 2014. However, the project will likely expand into 2015, with a possible deadline of early to mid spring. The good news is that Nine Portals is working with a new artist, as well as some old friends in the field.

This means art!

The important thing about creating the next visually impressive book for role-playing games is variety in illustrations. Nine Portals is a system for all manner of role-playing games, including Rifts and Dungeons & Dragons. The system can be adapted for table-top and war games easily enough. So, we haven't forgot about our war-gamers.

We're inviting both old and new friends to work on this next book's illustrations. Diagrams and maps will be completed by myself, as well as the bulk of writing. And this is a seriously big volume!

What we're working hard for is a book which is both a manual and a good read. We want everything to be crystal clear, but not too intrusive to the style of the game master. Because Nine Portals is an implementation system for all role-playing games, we do want various styles of artwork.

For those who haven't read the older books, visit 9portals.com/bookstore. While these books were created to be quick and fun game implementations, the new book will feature full length lore, a detailed technical manual, and all manner of artwork to inspire the exploration of portals in popular role-playing games.
