Wildside Gaming System

[swordsmith]

Not sure how many folks are playing this in the Philippines, but since I'll be at the January 12 gathering demoing Wildside, I thought it should have a topic. I'm Leigh Grossman, creator of the system, which was first published by Wildside Press in 2004. Wildside is oldstyle tabletop roleplaying with an emphasis on worldbuilding, a realistic combat system, and a flexible magic system with upwards of 6,000 spells. The game is complete in one book, with updates, new spells, character sheets, etc. all free downloads from www.wildsidegame.com. (You can see some of my other books and writing at www.swordsmith.com if you'd like.) The game uses d6 and d10 only.

Hope to see some of you on January 12, but I'll stop by here if people have questions or want to discuss the game.

There's a new Wildside newsletter coming out today with some pictures from previous demos, etc. If you haven't signed up for the mailing list at www.wildsidegame.com, you can see it at http://www.wildsidegame.net/events.asp - just scroll down to "newsletters."

Hope to see some of you on the 12th. I'll be leaving here at 8:00 a.m. on New Year's Day, assuming the snow isn't too bad, arriving in the Philippines 24 hours later.

There's another new Wildside gaming newsletter out, with some pictures from the Pasig demo in it.

Thanks for posting this, Leigh I know the bulk of the Wildside discussion was in another thread - will try to dig it up and link it here.

Thanks. There are 150+ new spells just added to the free downloads section of the Wildsidegame.com site, including a revamp of the Summoning class.
