Preview: Warrior, Rogue & Mage Revised Edition Part 2

Today I want to tease you a bit more with updates from the upcoming revised edition of the Warrior, Rogue & Mage roleplaying game. Initially I wanted to use a cover featuring artwork created by fellow RPG blogger Greywulf, but when I started adding the interior artwork, it didn’t really fit anymore. I want to use this opportunity again to thank him for providing me with some great artwork. I will make sure I put it to good use in a later project!

Now let’s have a look at the new cover and back cover:

wrm_cover wrm_backcover

You’ll probably notice the “wyrm Roleplaying System” logo on the back cover. That’s what I decided to call the underlying rules system which I want to use in at least a SF game as well. Why “wyrm”? You have to thank Firlefanz, a regular on the #rpmn IRC channel for that. Whenever we wrote WR&M she read “wyrm” for some reason. And so the name stuck. I also like how the Y in the logo looks a bit like a wrench. That fits well with the toolbox nature of the system, if you ask me.

My friend Andrew Modro is currently working on the final editing pass on WR&M. And as soon as he’s happy with the result, the game will be released! So stay tuned!

Wow… that looks really great. I love the new cover – I didn't really think that the digital art fit the game, but this certainly does.

Looking forward to the final product!

If you don't find a use for the one I made later, let me know and I'll put together something else for you when you need it, 'kay?
