Presuming there's interest, I aim to cap this off with the release of a playable starter adventure (complete with #FoundryVTT integration!) and then continue with a running commentary as I start pulling together the Game Master's Handbook for publication alongside the Core Rulebook.

The plan for this blog is to introduce Aetrimonde's design principles and mechanics, show off what typical Aetrimonde characters look like, and give some sneak previews of some of its subsystems. Along the way I'll be expounding on why I made some of the #game-design choices I did.

If your preferred style of #TTRPG features
- #PulpAdventure style heroes
- #VIctorianFantasy setting
- #CombatAsPuzzle
- A tight numerical framework

Go give the blog a read.

Aetrimonde isn't a 4e retroclone (I haven't set out to write "4e but better"). The entire reason I had houserules when running 4e was to try and support a genre of fantasy that D&D traditionally hasn't been great at. This is my attempt at a system with that kind of support baked in from the start.
