Dear friends, here's a glimpse of what's coming in this 2020 DTRPG exclusive. Fans, will experience immediate nostalgia. Newcomers, are encouraged to catch up with the K&L collection before then. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/253707/ That's also the best way to support the development of NH, as it grants the creator better resources to work with, while avoiding delays. This thread will be updated periodically, for now, enjoy this brief video and I'll get back here tomorrow to start the new talking points.

Fellow members, I welcome and thank you for checking the New Horizon development thread.
Pardon the inconvenience of a couple of flies, as a startup, for the last year or so I got a real taste of the tabletop industry. Better than someone dictating of how I should act, I learned on my own what works and doesn't work. While I won't share my findings here, my goals remain unchanged.

The Goal

Providing you with an unique game system and vibrant world that constantly grows, keeping it affordable, self sustained by your purchase and support.
Creating New Horizon's predecessor wasn't easy and the amount of time and dedication put into it where key factors in making my game different than your average tabletop rpg. With NH, development will move a bit quicker thanks to the, Ludens rule system, I've already put into place. The game will received a fair amount of additions to the rules, for complexity and more customizable actions. The system emphasizes the importance of your custom actor, everyone has a background, a story, a bloodline.

Both players and enemies will benefit from tighter selective targeting options. Instead of just aiming for major body locations such as, ribs, legs, and head. You'll now be able to sever limbs, ears and fingers which will have a noticeable impact on stats. Your battle-wounds could potentially become infected, if untreated, leading your character to further impairments or death.

That's when the new family tree system will kick into place, your character could retire, or even live on through his children. detailed information won't be placed here, that protects my core system mechanics from being stolen or adapted by someone else.

Storyline
New Horizon will feature an unique storyline, a new arc. With the implementations done to the Ludens Game System (LGS2), you'll be able to join the realm of Knights & Legends easily without the need of knowing the previous arc. You'll encounter all past and new lore within NH, a brief recap in some of the past events, new races, enemies, a redesigned spell system, implemented combat, family tree, better armory, a new campaign, and more, all within the core book!    

Your Feedback
Many of the new features were done thanks to valuable feedback from customers, If you're a returning customer, please know I appreciate your support.

Formats
The game will be available to you in both digital and print formats.
Pricing won't be discussed here until it's released.

Playtesting
Would you like to playtest NH?
Playtesting will begin in July and run through September.
Send a PM with info of other games you've playtested and why NH interests you. This period will be similar to a closed beta with a watermarked PDF. You'll only receive a portion of the book, with base mechanics and a brief story to tryout, must return your feedback no later than end of September.

You? Talking points? I'll just go and put on the popcorn, this should be entertaining.

That narration is just...

Is this a parody of something?

Don't be a bitch, and maybe this go-round, answer questions people pose instead of ignoring them.

The sooner you realize, you don't call the shots here the less embarrassing to you. Take your SJW ass outta here! This is the only response you'll get.
And just the heads up, building a collection of links where your fellow SJWs talk shit and leave idiotic reviews about my products clearly did nothing in the past and will do nothing now. The only bitch here is you, and creepy. Go ahead and dump your shit linking here, it tickles me. Sorry to ruin your surprise...

Given the numerous demonstrations of your ..mental acuity, alienating the SJW-crowd might not be your best bet. Just sayin'.

Now, weren't you supposed to post talking points about your game?

Is there some history with this poster's products that I should be aware of?

What the everloving fuck are you talking about?  I haven't reviewed your product, I haven't bought your product.  From the way you've responded on other threads I've found (rpggeek and reviews on drivethrurpg (which, I reiterate, I haven't made any of ANYTHING on DTRPG - it appears that if I left a review there, it would identify myself as "Brian H" which, I don't yet see any reviews from), you're a paranoid weirdo with a persecution complex.  People ask you critical questions, and you go apeshit.

I've asked you questioned here only, as have several other forum members, which you've skirted.  One forum member even bought your product, and re-asked the same question, but you evaded his question as well.

As far as me being an SJW, it's evident that you're not a participant of this forum, you're just here shilling your shitty product, if you think I'm an SJW, you moron.

Now, I'll repeat a question that's been avoided:  What's special about the "Ludens" system?  Can you describe the system?

Read his other two threads in this review forum, read his responses to reviews on DTRPG, and look for "Knights & Legends" threads on RPGgeek.  This guy is a whackadoo.  He's evasive, hyper-defensive, hyper-paranoid, and he grossly exaggerates any positive claim he makes.  Hell, you've seen his responses in this thread already, yeah?

Also, he apparently can't answer most people, unless he validates your "credentials" or some such nonsense.
