Following the launch at Furnace, the Wordplay RPG is now available:

What may be of interest here, beyond the game itself, is that the rules are released under a creative commons licence.

This weekend we had quite a serious milestone on the development of Wordplay, Graham Spearing's narrative d6 engined game, as all the themes for the core book were completed and Graham compiled it and has sent it on to Mike to edit.

The art is also underway, and I'm sitting here nervously waiting to get into laying out the initial core text release. Graham is planning to make the core rules creative commons, so they may be of interest.

The current playtest file is here: http://www.wordplaygames.co.uk/downloads.html

Hi,

Further to a brief chat with Andrew Kenrick at Expo 08, I have been encouraged to post up the June draft of my Wordplay roleplaying game. The purpose of making the text available rather early is to open up access to the game and encourage as much feedback as possible to help strengthen the game in anticipation of an October free PDF release.

The plan is to publish the game as a book and PDF in Spring of next year. This version will have additional 'themes', mini backgrounds for the game, and original illustrations.
