Broken Contract - The New Plan

Riot scene by Geng Gendall
I mentioned in the last Kickstarter update that we'd been working on a new plan. Well the new plan is coming together and it looks something like this...

The boxed game is now being separated into 4 separate products.

- Broken Contract Rule Book (~MSRP $15)
This is a 32 page book with an overview of the setting, all the rules to the game, character creation rules, a generic scenario, guidance on how to create your own scenarios, and 2 blank character cards. The inside cover will fold out into a generic mining area "game board" and a rules reference card.

- Initiative and Equipment Card Deck (~MSRP $5-$8)
This will be a 40-80 card deck that includes 26 Initiative Cards and an assortment of Equipment Cards.

- Broken Contract - Deep Underground Miniature Set (~MSRP ~$40-$50)
Currently this will be a set of 8 white metal miniatures - 3 Prods and 5 Breakers. The set will cover the characters needed to play Broken Contract - Deep Underground.

- Broken Contract - Deep Underground Scenario Book (~MSRP $10)
This 16 page booklet will contain 4 scenarios, game board sections, background, and Character Cards for all of the characters from the Deep Underground Miniature Set, giving you 2-4 evenings of entertainment.

I think this is a great solution that allows us to move forward without the massive start up costs of a large boxed game, allowing us to fund the project piecemeal. What do you think? Initial feedback has been good, but what does my quiet audience of followers think? I know you're out there.

My e-mail is brokencontractgame at outlook dot com if you want to contact me directly.

That being said, here's the latest going on:

- Rob is helping me knock out some writing and editing.
- Geng is about to start work on some new art to finish up the character concepts from Deep Underground and some new thematic pieces for the books.
- Sam is working on the graphic design for the rule book, cards, and map sections.
-Tim Barry just received the character concepts so that he can begin work on 3 new sculpts.
- Our first model prototype should be finished and ready to ship to us this week!
- Finally I'm working on adding content to the rule book and working on a couple fun introductory scenarios.

There you have it. Thanks for following and as always, feedback is welcome!
-Nick

I Wanna Be Your Dog: Canines in DCC

Last year I started a Dungeon Crawl Classics group with my friends. For those that don't know, Dungeon Crawl Classics is meant to be D&D like it is 1975, and touts the catch phrase, "Deadliest Game Alive". During Character Creation one of the characters in our 0-level funnel came up as a herder with a herding dog. The dog, Fetch, has outlived their herder master, and became a beloved Character in a very lethal game. Not surprisingly, the players pushed for Fetch to have the ability to advance. Here is the first draft of the rules if you are interested in my take on Canine Player Characters in DCC. I Wanna Be Your Dog Canines in Dungeon Crawl Classics by Nick Baran Art by Nerdgore You’re running a 0-Level Funnel for a group of players who are all dog people. One of the Characters comes up as a Herder with a Herding Dog, and before you know it, the dog is the most cherished member of the party. Treasure be damned, as long as the dog survives! CANINE Cani
