Found: The Wormwood Netbook/Sourcebook

Unread post by Steve Conan Trustrum »

I recently found the raw and unfinished manuscript I had been given the green light to work on had my 2 HU and 2 Nightbane books been completed. Unfortunately things fell apart with Palladium before this manuscript was completed and so it disappeared into the deep, dark corners of my hard drive. So, what you'll find within is my incredibly rough, unedited (it hasn't even been proofread) manuscript. It even has rough notes, format templates, headers placeholders with no content, and point form comments throughout. Still, every year I get enough people emailing me to find a copy of this to send them that I thought I'd go on a hunt and see what I could find, and voila! Here it is.

I've tried to strip out all of Palladium's copyrights (it was meant to be an official sourcebook so it contained some reprinted materials for convenience sake, such as skills that fit the setting). If anyone finds anything that fits this bill please let me know and I'll remove it, as it's been so long since I've opened a Palladium rpg or looked at this file that I'm sure I've missed a thing or two. Regardless, this content is not meant to infringe upon any Palladium Books' copyrights or trademarks, and any content not expressly a part of their Intellectual Properties are Copyright Steven Trustrum, 2003, All Rights Reserved (meaning, among other things, please don't post/mirror this file on your site without asking me first).

That being said, here you go. Enjoy!

Awesome!!!!

I`ve been wishng for some time that i still had your rules for bartering, since the lack of money is a real shock when introducing those familiar with more traditional `fantasy`settings to Wormwood.

Thanks, Steve.

Glad you like it. It's more than just the web site, though. There's stuff in there that was being worked on and so never made it online. :-D

Gracias; I've had the hardcopy of the original posts buried somewhere...now I have it all conveniently concentrated in one file.

I hadn't seen this until I started going thru the whole list of threads.

Good to see some people are still getting some use out of this.

I'll probably be retooling some of the concepts into my Pathfinder releases because I don't want them to die the slow death of Internet obscurity.

Based on Shadows of Light, being printed in the Rifter apparently doesn't harm the chance of the material being incorporated into future setting Sourcebooks though, if that's a comfort.
