Spun off from this thread on the sales of Barbarians of Lemuria. Any discussion of that topic should go in the original thread.

In that thread, Brennan from IPR said this:

"There are a lot of fantasy games out there, and I get a lot of fantasy game submissions. I have a pretty high bar for fantasy games because of this.

There are two main criteria I use: One, is the mechanic unusual or innovative? Two, is the setting something I have never seen before?"

I thought I'd post a progress update of where I am with some projects...

I'm working on two Fantasy RPGs at the moment...

Cantare, a game that grew out of running Cold City, actually, but has lots of little mechanical complexities in it. It tries to do LOTR style of epic adventure, centred on character motivations, ties to other PCs and NPCs. Anyway, that is on the back burner but I'm mulling it over in my mind.

From time-to-time I have been mentioning a game called Cantare and it will very soon be ready for playtesting.

The character sheet is almost ready for the playtest so I have uploaded it to my webspace: character sheet.

Cantare is... a fantasy RPG about people, who are motivated and bonded, gaining import through adventure in a world rich in sorcery and consequences.
