The Long Trail Home

The Long Trail Home

Here we are in 2021. Ten years. A decade. The original FAR WEST Kickstarter was in 2011. Ten years is a long goddamn time to ask people to wait, I know. It’s been the hardest decade of my life. Professional and personal challenges, like I’d never experienced before. Physical and mental heath crises requiring damn near all of my focus and attention. The work on FAR WEST definitely suffered. You know it. I know it. Honestly, I’m all out of

Far West Update

Far West Update

I’ve been quiet recently, I know. First things first:  Far West is NOT dead. I only have one chapter remaining to assemble from the earlier drafts. Things are moving slowly, and I figure that I owed you an explanation. It’s no secret that among the many trials and tribulations that have plagued this project, my depression and anxiety have been at the forefront. I have been my own worst enemy. Well, a few months ago, my family convinced me to finally seek

Long-Overdue Update

Long-Overdue Update

Long time, I know. This update appeared on Kickstarter, and on my personal blog — but now that I’m looking to get things on this site back on a regular schedule, I realized that it should be here as well. I had promised myself that I wouldn’t be doing an update until I had a major delivery ready… that the incremental “I’m still working” updates didn’t tell anybody anything new – and wouldn’t convince folks who don’t believe that’s the

Adventure Game Support Revealed

Adventure Game Support Revealed

“Once the Adventure Game core rulebook is released, we’d like to commit to a robust release schedule of support.” Those were the words that Dominic McDowall-Thomas, the CEO of Cubicle 7 Entertainment, used when we were finalizing the discussions that brought Far West‘s game releases to the company for distribution in game stores world-wide. What, I asked, does “robust” mean in this context? “Ideally, a new release every eight weeks or so,” came the reply. Over the past week, TS

Developer Commentary:  Aspect or Edge?

Developer Commentary: Aspect or Edge?

by TS Luikart Looking “under the hood” at the thoughts behind why certain choices are made, or discarded, while designing a roleplaying game is a delight to some and slightly preferable to watching paint dry to others. If you fall into the “want to know everything” camp, read on – we’ll write material that appeals to the rest of you lot another week. Some of the really interesting questions Gareth and I have been asked (many variations of) by our

Far West GenCon 2012 Seminar

Far West GenCon 2012 Seminar

On Thursday, August 16th, 2012, Far West co-developers and GenCon Guests of Honor Gareth-Michael Skarka and T.S. Luikart held a seminar at the convention. The seminar, “Far West: Western, Wuxia, Wild!” was an informational overview and Q&A on all aspects of the property — how it was developed, what’s been released, what’s still coming, and what is planned. For those people who were unable to attend GenCon 2012 in Indianapolis this summer, we’ve recorded the entire seminar, and present it
