New Fantasy Worlds

I cannot say that I haven’t created a new fantasy world in decades.  Sure, I’ve been using our World of Fletnern for over 30 years, but I’ve created other worlds.  I’ve created dozens of alternate Fletnerns (you know all messed up like in the comic books).  I’ve also created some brief game worlds for when the party bounces into another world / dimension / plane.  I’ve even created some sketch worlds as backgrounds for alien races that have invaded Fletnern.  But developing a fully fleshed out new world?  OK, yeah, it has been a while!

Why does this matter?  Well, Board Enterprises has been around since the early 90s.  We’ve been writing games and supplements.  You might have heard of a couple, like Legend Quest or Grain Into Gold.  Not saying we’re absolutely the best there is at this, but we’ve at least got a lot of experience.

We’re taking those decades of experience and building a brand new world from the mythology on up.  But we’ve learned a lot, both from what we’ve done and what others have done.  This is going to be a new fantasy world - You know a world where there’s magic.  We’re not going to create a copy of Merry Ole England and add a couple of folks who can cast spells.

What we want to do is simple, at least in concept - Let’s create a world of fantasy and magic where the magic is the important part.  We’re not going to put a couple of magic swords in and assume that now it’s a fantasy world.  What changes when you’re equally worried about dragon attacks as you are about enemy nations?  What changes when you have spell casters wandering around?  What happens when you put magic spells and magical items into the economy of the world and not just in the military?

Hopefully now you’re seeing that this is not easy.  But we can do it.  We (Board Enterprises) can do it, but it is going to be a lot easier (and a ton more fun) if you join us. 

We’re not trying to convince you to abandon the campaign world you’ve been using in favor of using this new one!  That’s not the point!  OK, you can if you want to, but we want to develop a new world and in building it work through a ton of issues that you may or may not have considered when you built yours (or the designers didn’t think through when they wrote it).  That means you will be in a position to enhance your own world, but only where you think we came up with a cool idea.  Isn’t that what you want?  A game world that is both yours and uses some of the best ideas that you hadn’t thought of?

Please support us in this effort!  Click here to see what we’re doing through Kickstarter.  We would love to have you onboard, sure for the financial support, but also for the guidance so we know exactly what aspects are important to you.  If this works, we’ll keep it going! and we’ll need your help to steer!
