Rising Star

Currently underdevelopment using Visual C++ 4.0 and DirectX 5.0. It requires DirectX5.0, windows 95, pentium 133 or better, and a fully direct draw compatible video card. Only the rudimentary interface is complete, you can download it from the link below.
    Note: The video mode used is 640x480 in 16 bits per pixel. This version uses 5-6-5 bit masks. If your card only supports 5-5-5, the colors will look horrid. A 5-5-5 alternate engine is under development.
If you'd like a a screen shot, click here.
You can the upcoming revision list below as well. (We will probably see a dedicated Rising Star Page in the future.)

"Origins" Traditional RPG (Pen & Paper)

This came about as an idea for a Dune RPG. I however, did not wish to disgrace my memory of Dune with player mishaps and other such stupidity, so I created a world which is like dune but does have it's own distinct differences. This project consumes most of my time currently, and the file size for the rulebook is expanding beyond a megabyte. I have posted the first zip file. It contains the main book, character record sheet, and a small list of weapons in Wordperfect 7.0 format. Use the link below to retreive it.
The zip files contains only an overview and character creation. Use the Quick Play Guide to begin playing. It provides a small rules snippet for simple checks, tests, and combat.
