I just decided to back a Kickstarter,
The Razor Coast. This isn't completely an Alternate Fantasy setting, but has all the tropes. It is a Swashbucklers & Sorcery setting for the
Pathfinder and
Swords & Wizardry RPGs. This project was started about two years ago by Nicolas Logue. It got to be too much for him, being a game designer & not really understanding the complexities of publishing. Well, it has been picked up by
Frog God Games and will finally see the light of day. Nicolas is more than happy to be back to doing what he loves, designing. The project has attracted other designers as well. You would need to visit the site to keep up with them all, but I feel that this will be an awesome project. Besides that, I sense that it will have much material to raid for anybody, like me, who would adapt this to truly Alternate Fantasy settings, like say...Spelljammer.
This project is something special. It was kept alive by a group of developers and fans, mainly by chatting about it on various messageboards. It showed various 3pps that there was still heavy interest in it. After much wrangling behind the scenes, most of which the general public does not need to worry about,
Frog God Games took up the mantle & is bringing us this interesting setting. Filled with Swashbuclkers, pirates, and weresharks (yes I said weresharks), it is the Pirates of the Caribbean crossed with D&D, well
Pathfinder Oh, and really
Swords & Wizardry is OD&D, so that still applies. Wait, what was I talking about?
Anyway, this is shaping up to one of the most anticipated releases for 2013. Be sure to check out the site. Hopefully what you read will convince you to back it.
