(...)Brenda Brathwaite and Tom Hall, presently at Loot Droop. They are currently seeking funding via Kickstarter for an old school RPG, in the vein of masterworks of the ancient (gaming) times.
Who are they, you might ask? Brenda Brathwaite should be recognizable to anyone who likes classic RPGs, as the lead designer of the critically acclaimed Wizardry 8. She is also known for her work on the Realms of Arkania series (based on the German role playing game Das Schwarze Auge, The Dark Eye) and Jagged Alliance. Tom Hall should be even more recognizable, for his work as designer on the Commander Keen series and the quirky Anachronox role playing game, as well as tens of other titles too numerous to mention.
Their plan? To release an old school RPG. Built around a party of up to four characters, all created by the player, the game is slated to feature a complex, skill-based character system with different races and professions to choose from, a detailed fantasy world with at least five known NPC races, recruitable characters, hundreds of quests and multiple endings. Oh, and did we mention it will feature turn-based combat?
