Frayed Knights: Research

Posted by Rampant Coyote on May 30, 2013

I actually did quite a bit of research developing Frayed Knights.  And I continue to do some now. One might not think this would be strictly necessary, and it’s probably not (I happen to have a little bit of familiarity with fantasy RPGs, after all).  But I wanted to make sure my foundation was solid, […]

Frayed Knights: Getting Social?

Posted by Rampant Coyote on May 7, 2013

Frayed Knights is not what you’d commonly term a “social game.” It’s not multiplayer, you aren’t forced to recruit friends to pass critical sections of the game, anything like that. It’s a good ol’-fashioned, dungeon-crawling, monster-clobbering RPG that draws inspiration from numerous classic first-person part-based RPGs, dice-and-paper gaming, and my own demented sense of style […]

Are You Cooler Than A 20+ Year Old Game?

Posted by Rampant Coyote on April 26, 2013

Long-time readers are probably well aware of my fascination with the Ultima series (and spin-offs) up until the mid-90s. And how Ultima Underworld – along with Ultima VII – hold a special place in my heart. The games are now over twenty years old, which kinda boggles my mind. I haven’t really sat down and […]

A Very Special Frayed Knights 2 Gift…

Posted by Rampant Coyote on April 12, 2013

Okay, guys, we’re entering into the final stretch on the sale for Frayed Knights: The Skull of S’makh-Daon, here and on Desura.  I’m worried not everybody that would be interested in about it have heard about it.

Tactical Telepathicness … Telepathicity? Telepathitude?

Posted by Rampant Coyote on April 10, 2013

So my birthday was just over a week ago. And I’m still doing stuff about it. Yeah, that’s pretty much how I roll when it comes to schedules and deadlines. The sale continues, and the give-away continues.  Yesterday we had three people win copies of the outstanding RPG / TD hybrid, Defender’s Quest.  Apparently, the […]

Interview with a Priest of Pokmor-Xang

Posted by Rampant Coyote on April 1, 2013

Here is a special interview for April 1st. Because this kind of in-depth background is the sort of thing that makes the world of Frayed Knights come alive.  (And as a reminder, check back tomorrow for some Frayed Knights – related Stuff Happening). Birz Flemmins is a priest of Pokmor Xang. Or, rather, a former […]

Don’t Buy Frayed Knights! (Er, yet…)

Posted by Rampant Coyote on March 31, 2013

Never thought I’d write that! This is not an April Fool’s joke. I don’t do those. I’m just saying if you haven’t bought Frayed Knights: The Skull of S’makh-Daon yet and have been holding off this long (REALLY? Why not? SHEESH!), you may want to wait just a few hours longer – until Tuesday. April […]

Frayed Knights 2: How do you spell that spell?

Posted by Rampant Coyote on March 28, 2013

A while ago I talked about doing something kinda weird for Frayed Knights 2 – Random spell generation. (And note – the picture to the right is FK1. The special effects in FK2 are currently minimal and not very photogenic). It got mixed in, across several permutations, with a completely revised initiative system.  Which doesn’t […]

Frayed Knights 2 Update: Items Get To Play Roles, Too

Posted by Rampant Coyote on March 19, 2013

A lot of the effort with the Frayed Knights sequel has gone into items. I’ve talked about them before. In Frayed Knights 1, I went super-generic: Every item type could  potentially do (almost) everything. You could click on your helmet to launch a fireball, consume a potion to cast any (non-targeted) spell, etc.  While it’s […]
