I hope you enjoy it as much as I do."Įxplore Ben Aaronovitch's magical version of London today!
The impulse to world build can encompass the 17th century France of En Garde (GDW) or the nightmare haunted Jazz Age world of Call of Cthulhu. You can build a world in the past or present that is just as fantastical as anything in Greyhawk or the Imperium. But worldbuilding isn’t just confined to secondary world fantasies or the far-flung planets of space opera. I wanted to create one of those worlds, to make something so detailed, so credible that people would sit around a table and lose themselves in the experience. I read voraciously of intricately thought-out fantasy worlds Glorantha was a favourite, but I’ve always had a soft spot for City State of the Invincible Overlord (Judges Guild) and Pendragon’s Albion that never was. To this day, I have an insane number of RPG supplements, including a large number of campaign and setting books whose original systems I’ve never even heard of. I was a terrible gamemaster, and, to be fair, I was never particularly brilliant as a player-I was always more interested in the scenarios than the gaming. But what I wanted was a pen and paper roleplaying game with maps, player handouts, and funny shaped dice. Other authors dream of film and television, radio and comic adaptations, and, even more recently, a computer game. I lie-it’s actually ever since I was given the three original beige Dungeons & Dragons books in a box all the way back in the late seventies. "Ever since I can remember, I’ve wanted my own roleplaying game. "Ever since I can remember, I’ve wanted my own roleplaying game", begins Rivers of London creator Ben Aaronovitch's foreword for Rivers of London: the Roleplaying Game, which is out now in hardback.
