KORPG™ Games 
Being the first post of the 2012 New Year, I wanted to make sure to provide something substantial without overloading you all, I further wanted that something to demonstrate both to you as well as myself my focus for the New Year; namely getting products completed and up for sale.
I finally settled on revealing the basic structure and generic outline of the rulebook I’m working on for the role-playing game Astrolomancer.
As you can see, I’m planning to include an introductory adventure in the rulebook and am even considering offering a bundle with The Elemental Dragon Kings of the Inner Kingdom adventure as well.
The book is broken down into five distinct sections:
- An Introduction section explaining the overview of the game.
- An Astrolomancer section describing the characters played.
- An Actions section detailing how the characters interact with their environment.
- An Advancement section referencing how the characters advance in power and prowess.
- An Adventure section containing an introductory adventure for novice Astrolomancers to enjoy.
Without further ado, here’s the book’s general outline:
