In 1951, this history comes to an end as the city is thrown out of this reality and is erased from history. The contributions of the city remain but the minds and memories of the entire world have been adjusted to attribute these contributions to others. Now the city returns along with the world\u2019s memory of <i>New Bristol<\/i>. What sacrifices has the city made to survive as it travelled though uncountable realities. Why has it returned now?<\/p>\n<p>We expect the book will be about 120 pages in length and filled with characters, rules, and setting locations for any player or gamemaster to use.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>EGG<\/b><b>: There are different eras\/types of superhero comic book settings from pulp to grim and gritty to decompressed and so many more. How would you describe the style of <\/b><i><b>New Bristol<\/b><\/i><b>?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>ANDREW<\/b>: This is actually a harder question to answer than it appears at first blush. The city starts as a typical 50\u2019s era city with a bevy of typical golden age heroes and villains fighting in and over it. It then disappears and reappears decades later. Within the city there are eight districts each with a distinct flavor, ranging from high tech to jungle like.<\/p>\n<p>The closest analogy would be a mash up between DC\u2019s <i>Metropolis<\/i> of the 90\u2019s (with Brainiac\u2019s high tech) and <i>Astro <\/i><i>C<\/i><i>ity<\/i>. The tech level is high in some areas of the city and almost <i>M<\/i><i>ad <\/i><i>M<\/i><i>ax<\/i> like in others. This is due to the effects of the void the city travels through and its effects on the outer, less buffered districts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>EGG<\/b><b>: <\/b><b>Interesting. <\/b><i><b>New Bristol<\/b><\/i><b> is the campaign setting and a city. It has a number of districts and an original history. Can you share how some of those districts and history influence the types of adventures this game offers?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/New-Bristol-04.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-21990 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/New-Bristol-04-212x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"212\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/New-Bristol-04-212x300.png 212w, https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/New-Bristol-04.png 680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 212px) 100vw, 212px\" \/><\/a>ANDREW<\/b>: I\u2019m very fond of cities that have areas that have very distinct flavours to them. My home city of Vancouver has areas that are rundown urban (perfect for a street level hero campaign) and cultural areas like Steveston which has a historical and active fishing wharf. There is also an active working harbor and extensive suburbs. Most cities are like this to some extent or other and I wanted to capture this in New Bristol.<\/p>\n<p>Each of the districts has a flavor and culture, which extends to the character of the heroes and occupants of that area. For instance, the French Quarter has a historical background that extends into the founding of the US and Canada and this is felt within the people living there. It is also the area where magicians good and bad live. A magician such as Doctor Strange would fit in well here.<\/p>\n<p>Another district houses the Future Spire which sports futuristic high tech such as you would find in a Jack Kirby <i>Fantastic Four<\/i> story.<\/p>\n<p>There will be plenty of locations that would fit any style of player or campaign focus. Heck there is even a portal to the Jurassic period if you want to hunt dinosaurs (or be hunted by them).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>EGG<\/b><b>: <\/b><b>This is a<\/b><b> superhero RPG using a pair of licensed systems, <\/b><b>w<\/b><b>hat inspired you to make <\/b><b>this game<\/b><b>?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>ANDREW<\/b>: I have always loved the superhero genre but as a comic collector, writer, and a gamer. Over the decades (god, decades) I\u2019ve had the opportunity to write for a number of RPGs and played in a few of them. The second game system I purchased was the first edition <i>Villains and Vigilantes<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>The kernel that became the <i>New Bristol<\/i> book started with a write for hire project for Eden Studios\u2019 <i>City of Heroes RPG<\/i>. The project was never published but, in essence, it took a handful of established RPG talents and assigned them a district and faction to write. The idea stuck with me over 15 years and now that I have the opportunity to publish it, I\u2019m doing so.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>EGG<\/b><b>: What makes <\/b><b>Savage Worlds Adventure Edition (<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drivethrurpg.com\/product\/261539\/Savage-Worlds-Adventure-Edition?affiliate_id=814082\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>SWAdE<\/b><\/a><b>) <\/b><b>right for this RPG?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>ANDREW<\/b>: Two reasons really:<\/p>\n<p>First, SWAdE is a robust game system that can work with any genre and has books supporting any genre. This gives it the versatility to adjust to the flavor of each district, there is also an extensive back catalog of source material for Gamemasters that really want to deep dive into a genre.<\/p>\n<p>SWAdE is also the newest version of the <i>Savage Worlds<\/i> system which has relatively few books using it so it seemed the best time to use it for this book.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, I\u2019ve been using this system (<i>Savage Worlds<\/i>) for the Dark Hold line of <i>Goblin Adventures<\/i> books. The writing team that we used on those books have come forward on this book. They are battle hardened and I trust their quality and they have never missed a deadline. Additionally, Sarah Lyons, or Three Sages, is our system editor and has been instrumental in getting us licensed product status.<\/p>\n<p>If it ain\u2019t broke&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/New-Bristol-05.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-21989 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/New-Bristol-05-300x125.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/New-Bristol-05-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/New-Bristol-05-678x284.jpg 678w, https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/New-Bristol-05.jpg 680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>EGG<\/b><b>: For those that aren\u2019t familiar with <\/b><b>the other system this game runs on,<\/b><b> <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drivethrurpg.com\/product\/248647\/Endless-Realms-Corebook?affiliate_id=814082\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i><b>Endless Realms<\/b><\/i><\/a><b>, what is it?<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><b>ANDREW<\/b>: <i>Endless Realms<\/i> from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drivethrurpg.com\/browse\/pub\/12778\/Lunar-Games-Inc?affiliate_id=814082\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lunar Games<\/a> is the brainchild of Kirsty Garbe, and is a very neat combination of RPG system and world building that appeals to me. I learnt of the system and game through a poster in a local game store, ran through a demo game and loved it. It\u2019s a nice class based system that uses tactical elements with a unique spirit based magic system. I like to think of it as a mash up of <i>Talislanta<\/i> and the best parts of D&amp;D. Of course, it\u2019s neither. It is own thing.<\/p>\n<p><i>Endless Realms<\/i> has a core cosmology that speaks to multiple realities and traveling between them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>EGG<\/b><b>: Why use the <\/b><i><b>E<\/b><\/i><i><b>ndless <\/b><\/i><i><b>R<\/b><\/i><i><b>ealms<\/b><\/i><b> system for <\/b><i><b>New Bristol<\/b><\/i><b>?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>ANDREW<\/b>: Again, this a multiparty answer. First, <i>Endless Realms<\/i> has a cosmology that speaks to traveling through alien and unique dimensions. This plays a large part in the history of New Bristol and fits nicely into the expansion plans of Lunar Games to increase the types of product and genres their game system encompasses.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been doing a lot of writing for Lunar Games and developed a fondness for the team. No surprise that I consider Kirsty a friend and, as she\u2019s writing for <i>New Bristol<\/i> and Lunar Games, she saw an opportunity to convert the core book to the <i>Endless Realms<\/i> system. I think it\u2019s a nice fit and New Bristol would be the third city I\u2019ve written for her, Brimstone Point and Dedburn being the other two.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s nice having things come together this nicely.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>EGG<\/b><b>: Andrew, for those that don\u2019t know your work, where have fans seen your writing?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>ANDREW<\/b>: Easy answer is everywhere and nowhere. I\u2019ve been contributing to RPGs since the 80s; odds are I have something published by one of your favourite publishers. Sections in the <i>Jovian Chronicles<\/i> and <i>Heavy Gear<\/i> from Dream Pod 9 are written by me and you\u2019ll see me in the credits but you would have a hard time knowing what exactly I wrote. I do have a handful of solo books that I wrote with a byline, like the <i>Streetfighters Player\u2019s <\/i><i>G<\/i><i>uide<\/i> for White Wolf or <i>Northwest Passage<\/i> for Atlas Games and, of course, the books from Rebel Minis.<\/p>\n<p>I even manufactured and sold a line of miniatures carrying cases for Games Workshop \u2013 still have some of these in my basement.<\/p>\n<p>My most recent work has been for Dragon Turtle Games and their 5E compatible <i>Carbon 2185<\/i> cyberpunk game. I wrote some of the history section and a full adventure for them. I\u2019ve also had a few short stories published recently and am especially fond of the dinosaur story I wrote for <i>Apex: World of Dinosaurs Anthology<\/i> from Outland Entertainment and a story for the upcoming <i>Tales from the Space Force<\/i> anthology coming from B-Cubed press.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m also writing a fan film for <i>Star Wars<\/i> that is going to be amazing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/New-Bristol-03.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-21991 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/New-Bristol-03-222x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"222\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/New-Bristol-03-222x300.jpg 222w, https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/New-Bristol-03.jpg 680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 222px) 100vw, 222px\" \/><\/a>EGG<\/b><b>: You have a list of creators working on this. Who is working on each system?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>ANDREW<\/b>: Here\u2019s the thing with my creators, aside from Dave and Kirsty for <i>Endless <\/i><i>R<\/i><i>ealms<\/i> and Sara Lyon with SWAdE, I don\u2019t expect my writers to have 100% system knowledge. I learned early on that having a designated system editor (who might also be a content provider) allows the writer to focus on their work and not the niggling details of the system. That knowledge develops as you write, but my editors are the ones we depend upon to ensure the system requirements are met, and to tell us when an encounter or rule doesn\u2019t make sense or is overpowered.<\/p>\n<p>It works quite well.<\/p>\n<p>I should also like to shout out to my kid whose art features prominently in the kickstarter and the book itself. She\u2019s just starting college this year and man has her art improved.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>EGG<\/b><b>: <\/b><b>Nice! <\/b><b>Are you planning any comic book or prose adaptations of this setting?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>ANDREW<\/b>: Interestingly, I do have plans of this type if the kickstarter really takes off. I have a short story describing the origin of a superhero set in this city that would be perfect in an anthology of stories. As to comics, I have a number of scripts in the works with Cornerstone Creative Studios that are very exciting. There is no reason that if the book really takes off that we couldn\u2019t start an ongoing series or graphic novel with the talent there. I am one of the founders so it would be an easy sell. <span style=\"font-family: Wingdings\">\uf04a<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Ideally, I see the book developing into a series of campaign and adventures branching out from the core setting. It would also from the core of an ongoing Supers line for <i>Endless Realms<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from that, well just waiting for Netflix to call.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>EGG<\/b><b>: Beyond this project, what else are you working on?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>ANDREW<\/b>: Oh man, it is rare for me to have less than 6-8 projects on the go and an equal amount sitting with various publishers. I am revising two short stories for two different publishers, and this week I have a scene to add in my <i>Star Wars<\/i> fan film (really excited by this). This year, I have three short stories that should be published.<\/p>\n<p>On the kickstarter front, <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/coyotesisters\/new-bristol-a-campaign-setting-for-your-supers-ttrpg-swade\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i>New Bristol<\/i><\/a><\/span> [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/coyotesisters\/new-bristol-a-campaign-setting-for-your-supers-rpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">updated link<\/a>] is the first of my personal kickstarters and I have two others waiting on this one to fund. The next one is an anthology style comic book called <i>Coyote Sisters<\/i> that should be great fun pulling together some new and established writers.
