Welcome! This is the website of Silver Branch Games, a small independent publisher of tabletop roleplaying games.
Albion approaches
29/6/10 - another long gap - apologies. Things have been going on behind the scenes though. Albion is nearly ready to enter the playtest/feedback phase.
I'll be overhauling the Albion section of the site at some point. For now, I've added a gallery page to show you some of the great art that I've commissioned for the book.
Mini-update
29/11/09 - not that I have a mini. I attended
the Furnace convention in Sheffield in October.
Sold a few copies of Jaws with the aid of the folks
at Patriot Games, and a few more from people contacting
me after the con. Seems to have really hit a chord
in some quarters! The book was also at Indiecon
a couple of weeks ago courtesy of Sceaptune Games,
though I couldn't make it myself. I was at Dragonmeet
in London yesterday, catching up with some fine
folks (and a few slightly dubious ones).
I also took a work-in-progress mock-up of Albion
to Furnace and got really good interest and feedback
that's helped me get clearer about the plan for
the book. A revised mock-up (through the power of
Lulu) got shoved under the nose of anyone too slow
to get away at Dragonmeet. It's looking like a 256-page
Letter-size corebook, and I've been gradually acquiring
some nice artwork. Getting closer!
Update
2/9/09 - I can't believe it's September already!
Time for an update so you know I haven't dropped
off the planet.
Jaws of the Six Serpents has been selling
well in PDF and print. Many thanks to all who've
bought it; to those who haven't, what are you waiting
for? ;) It's been great to see
forum threads on RPGnet where folks are asking questions
about it and including it among suggestions for
systems to handle people's needs. If you've got
it please sprinkle some comments and reviews around
- even something brief (and positive!) on RPGNow/Drivethru
is helpful.
My attention now is on Albion - Reforged
Edition. This is the Celtic-themed
fantasy game that I've been working on for A Very
Long Time. The Player's Book was released in
PDF a few years ago, and is still available at RPGNow,
but I stalled on completing the line and, to be
honest, that book is not put together very well.
I want to bring the design and presentation skills
I have now together with the original vision of
the setting to release a really good package that'll
do justice to the project. There might be other small
projects along the way, but I've nothing else planned.
I'm aiming to get the Player's Book content, especially
the rules, reworked and then to pull in the content
originally planned for the GM's Book. I'm not putting
a timescale on it, but I want to be well along by
the end of the year.
