#AtoZChallenge S is for Scott Malthouse

Hello lovely people.

Today, I want to tell you about Scott Malthouse, writer of the Trollish Delver blog. Scott has made several RPG products including Tunnels and Trolls products, Quill, a solo roleplaying game about letter writing, USR (short for Unbelievably Simple Roleplaying system) and In Darkest Warrens, a rules lite fantasy system.

Scot has come up with two recent products for PWYW.

Tequendria

TEQUENDRIA is a fantastical roleplaying game inspired by the works of Lord Dunsany, the grandfather of modern fantasy. In this game you may become a grim Gravekeeper of Zum, a soul-weilding Icur sorceror or even an artificial Doomgaunt. Travel the wilds of Yann where the winter will bite as fiercly as the wolves, or delve in to the ancient Pits of Snood and face the demons within. Magic coarses through the veins of Tequendria, meaning every creature is somewhat capable of casting spells. Above the clouds of the world adventurers can take to their aether in mighty vessels, visiting strange alien worlds like Dim Carcosa and the Snurk Pits of the Bounds of Leng. 
  • Play as 20 different weird and wonderful archetypes (roll them randomly if you like)
  • Everyone can cast spells 
  • Setting information for the world of Tequendria
  • A bestiary of deadly creatures
  • A selection of fiction by Lord Dunsany
TEQUENDRIA uses the Unbelievably Simple Roleplaying system, whose mechanics are streamlined and beginner-friendly, but allow for customisation.

Astounding Interplanetary Adventures

It's rayguns, aliens and swashbuckling amongst the stars! Astounding Interplanetary Adventures is a minimalist game of pulp sci-fi inspired by serials like Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers. Using the rules-lite system introduced in In Darkest Warrens, these few pages have everything you need to play a fun romp through space, including aliens, rocket ships and setting information.
All you need is some friends, some six-sides dice and an imagination to begin your life of heroism. Perhaps you want to be a daring pilot, a brave soldier or even a scientist who can build robots to help you out! With AIA it's quick and easy to get to the table and start playing.
What's included:
  • 5 classes: soldier, noble, pilot, scientist, and athlete
  • Alien bestiary
  • Roll random planets
  • Factions
  • Planets
  • Thrills and spills!
Enjoy!

#AtoZChallenge R is for RPGs based on solo systems

The Advanced Fighting Fantasy 2nd edition series continues to grow - this year, we will see the sci-fi version, Stellar Adventures.

Lone Wolf also has an awesome RPG that lets you play classes mentioned in the books, such as Crystal Star magician, border ranger or Knight of the White Mountain.

Tunnels and Trolls has always had a long and proud tradition of solos and it now has a Deluxe edition.

There will soon be an Orb RPG based on the gamebooks set there, such as Talisman of Death, the Duelmaster series and the Way of hte Tiger series.

Of course, there is Dragon Warriors, an RPG set in the land of Legend where the Blood Sword series takes place.
