Utherwald Press / Alyeskan Gazetteer: Prospector's Reach

« on: October 14, 2015, 10:48:57 PM »

Another Gazetteer, this time the forsaken town of Prospector's Reach. Nestled on the edge of the cursed Chillwynd Marches, it is a mustering point for expeditions heading into the haunted frozen plains and frequently feel the chilly touch of the Marches' whispering winds.

Utherwald Press / Skyships: Rules of Engagement

« on: September 30, 2015, 12:39:31 PM »

At last! Rules for using Skyships along with sample stats of one!

Hoping to build up a batch of stats of different types of Skyships, in addition I also plan to stat up a more conventional Zeppelin.

So "lift gas" - do we know what its properties are relative to hydrogen and helium, the two main equivalents in real-world airships?

Liftorium normally would be a heavier gas than helium and thus give less lift, tis only when a electrical current is run through it that it becomes lighter and produces greater lift. As you can imagine it is less flammable as well, though tanks of the stuff would explode if engulfed in flames....eventually.

Fairly big.

Well I figured I'd give Patreon a shot, if a hundred pledge a quid each that is still £100 a month in total.

Utherwald Press / Alyeskan Skyships Committee

« on: September 09, 2015, 02:52:51 PM »

This week we discuss ideas behind Frozen Skies' Skyships, chiefly designs and how they work. Course these are ideas at the moment and open to input, so feedback will be most welcomed.

Also, will look to start producing stats for them at some point in the not so distant future.

Utherwald Press / Plot Points, Sandboxes and Tales of Savagery

« on: September 02, 2015, 02:19:27 PM »

Recently been reading 50 Fathoms and I've been asked a few times whether or not Frozen Skies is a Plot Point Setting. Figured it was high time that I explained how I envisioned the Frozen Skies setting working in relation to all this.

Utherwald Press / Re: Greed Is Good: The Coalition

« on: August 25, 2015, 10:54:51 PM »

Bit of a political left hook in the naming, by any chance? 

It just seemed to fit for a country effectively ruled by corporations, so not much political wise.

They use chains wrapped round the wheels much like the Ice Roads in Canada and Alaska, 'summer' isn't too bad save for the mud at either end of that season.

Ars Tali Games / Re: The World of Aker-Cosi

« on: August 11, 2015, 12:48:12 PM »

Just reading through I get the feeling that Aker-Cosi seems to sit somewhere between Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura and Eberron.

Am I close to being on the money or horribly, horribly off course?
