Hi, we’re developing a hybrid project that combines a classic printed gamebook (in the style of Lone Wolf) with a companion app that manages dungeon exploration, combat, inventory, and character progression (similar to an RPG video game).

The narrative part is handled entirely in the book, using the traditional branching choices typical of gamebooks, while the gameplay elements take place in the app by scanning certain images printed inside the book.

For anyone interested in learning more or supporting the project, we recently launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund this hybrid format:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1684041218/intermundia-...



We also have a free demo available on Steam (a fully digital version with the book integrated into the game) for anyone who would like to try the mechanics.

Let us know what you think!

"No NPC name survives contact with the players."

TANNHAUSER'S SECOND LAW OF NPCS

The more time you spend fleshing out the NPC the more quickly—and horribly—they will be murdered by the players.

COROLLARY: The cooler the NPC's name, the more humiliating the nickname.

NPC CROSSOUT!
Can you match the NPC with their nickname?

1. Sir Richard Larkins        a. "Screamy Nubbins"
                              b. "Rutting-nerd Hammy-boy"
2. Zorthrax the Magnificent   c. "Smeggy"
                              d. "Lord Fancypants"
3. Rutherford Amboy           e. "Sore-ass Mumble-bum"
                              f. "Dick Lickins"
4. T'Luthilien Bax            g. "That Dude We Just Killed Who Was Clearly 
                                  a Devil-Humpin' Rat-Bastard"

If anyone is selling a weekend pass let me know. The person who agreed to sell me their pass has decided otherwise. Thank you.

I think I saw someone in the discord selling a pass as of last week.

There's a badge transfer thread on the facebook group. You can check there to see if there's anyone else selling.

We had an NPC questgiver once whose name was Stikafus or something like that. He was a powerful wizard sending low level adventurers on quests for things he could have easily done himself. His name was quickly morphed to Stickybutt with the story that he was cursed to remain in his chair.
The GM was not amused.

I did once need to explain the pronunciation of the Welsh ll to a bunch of Americans, but aside from that just the usual surprise about how NPCs are spelt or that a written module chose that name for an NPC style stuff.

Great level of detail Bill, it brought the climax of the film right back to me 👍

It’s been a lot of fun recreating the movie in the form of a Q Manual entry!
