Fenrir's Fantasy game- Shattered Realm

[Fenrir]

Hello, folks!

I'm currently tinkering with a Fantasy skirmish game based on my Dracula's America rules that were recently published by Osprey. I call it Shattered Realm.

Before I go any further, this is purely for fun, and for the love of my favourite gaming genre- let's face it, this particular niche has been filled extremely well over the years by Mordheim, Frostgrave, A Song of Blades and Heroes, and countless others. Think of it as my love-letter to the Fantasy genre!  

So, I'm hoping to just provide the game free for people to download as a series of PDFs- the only problem is, I am rubbish with computers and technology in general!
I do have a Blogger page (see my signature, below), but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get a PDF document up on there- can it even be done? Am I better off trying to start a Website exclusively for Shattered Realm?

I realise that this is now becoming more of a technical question, so if it needs to be moved to the right place then that's fine!

Cheers for reading!

You can host the actual PDF files on Dropbox and share them with people via the appropriate links on forums and your blog.
It is free and other people can simply download the files irrespective of whether or not they have accounts (unlike Google docs and similar) and it works via PC or mobile devices.

Thanks, robh; that's exactly the kind of sage advice I needed- will give it a try!

Make a Facebook page and upload the PDFs into the document section as well.

Hi, Ogrob- I don't 'do' Facebook unfortunately!

Here's a link to the Post on my Blog if you are interested- it's just the background to the setting right now; the actual core rules will be up next week at the latest for folks to have a go!

The link works fine, interesting world setting you have put together.

[Fenrir]

Thanks, robh; couldn't have done it without your help!

I've just put up a link to the core rules for Shattered Realm over on my Blog, for those who may be interested:

If anyone actually gives it a go, or just wants to have a chat about SR in general, then be sure to drop me a line either here or on the Blog!

Cheers!

Downloaded and having a read through. Thanks.

From a brief read through it, looking good so far.


Except for the dwarves. I'll have to do something about the dwarves.

@Elk101: Cheers- hope you like!

@FionaWhite: I guess there's no accounting for taste... 

Happily for you, you can play without a single short, bearded fellow in sight!

As a complete aside I enjoyed reading about your return to Blood Bowl and your recent Vietnam game.

Don't get me wrong, the problem (outside of them being hairier and more drunk than my avatar...  ) is that every time they get access to a super-rich mine or somesuch, they end up
unleashing some calamity to threaten all. 

[Fenrir]

@FionaWhite: Exactly! Think how boring and safe those generic fantasy worlds would be without them unleashing some Demon of the Ancient World every other weekend?!  

@Elk101: Thanks very much- glad you enjoyed reading them! Though the less said about my not-so-triumphant return to the Blood Bowl field, the better...

Hello again!
I've just added the SR Advanced Rules to my Blog for folks to view and download:

https://lead-mountaineer.blogspot.co.uk/2017/12/shattered-realm-advanced-rules.html

These include rules for two different types of Magic, mounts, Solo play and representing gloomy or dark conditions in your games.

I also played a small Solo game last night, a report of which will be going up very soon...

[Fenrir]

For those who are interested, the Campaign rules just went up on my Blog!

This finishes the rules so far- still very much a work in progress of course...

Cheers!
