Covenant of Justice

Covenant of Justice is a setting for BRP monograph (yet to be completed, but getting there), and hopefully a series of fictional works.

The monograph has been in writing for more than a year, building a mythos for a contemporary super-hero setting - the world in which the Covenant of Justice operates against dark forces.

Check back in from time to time for updates.

After That Hiatus...

It has been more than a year since my last post, and in that time outside of real-life stuff, my other blogs and whatnot, I have been looking to re-work some of the Covenant of Justice material. To that end I have been working to re-edit the city-setting material I had developed, and I have some hopes for this. What I am aiming for is that it should hopefully become a more generic 'fictionalised super-city' type of setting - more on that as and when. The other side of the re-working is that I took a long look at the characters I had, the kinds of stories I wanted to tell, and the over-arching back-story to them and their own 'world' I decided I needed to strengthen some elements and so settled on some big revisions and who knows where that will lead me.

V&V 2.1?

I have been toying with switching from BRP to something else, and V&V 2.1 may be just what I need. Each system (BRP and V&V 2.1) has pros and cons for my Covenant of Justice source book. BRP: Pros - SAN system - skills system & associated experience method Cons - the disparate Power systems don't fit neatly together at all, and each is incomplete and lacking internal balance (irrespective of intra-system balance) - can require some serious consideration about what add-on options to use - doesn't really evoke a 'silver age' feel V&V 2.1 Pros - very heroic/silver age sensibility - very open-ended with regard to how powers can be adapted Cons - currently no skill system of note - no obvious analogue to a sanity-checking system If I can settle on a decision, then maybe, just maybe it will give me impetus to go forwards. Time will tell.

Writing Projects

I have been tapping away periodically on a few different stories connected to this setting I am trying to build up, and today finished a first draft of a short story that I hope to submit for consideration to A Thousand Faces . Finishing that first draft today was pretty pleasing, to have that sense of completion, even if further drafts will be needed. I have sent it to a couple of friends for critical feedback. At the same time I am revisiting work on the aforementioned monograph, so hopefully over the next few months things will start to move forwards. More posts as they do.
