Last week I asked what people wanted me to talk about with respect to Krendel and how it relates to the new iteration. The answer I got back was, among other things, character types and their play styles.  So this week we're looking at the first of them: Guardsman.

A frequent question in gaming (and writing) circles is "where do you get inspiration?" For me the answer is always the same: first and foremost, real life.

As mentioned last week, I'm trying to use this blog more to talk about what's up with Krendel. Today's topic is brought to you by a Twitter discussion that meandered wonderfully all over the place and hit player species in the process. Where the G+ community may have already gotten some of this (sorry guys, I honestly can't recall if I shared it), today I'm going to delve into intelligent species in the Krendel fantasy setting, ending specifically with playable species.

I have been remiss in updating this blog. First, I am alive and well. Second, work has moved forward on a new iteration of Krendel. I've been sharing mostly lore, but sometimes mechanics with members of a Krendel community over on G+ on an almost weekly basis. Lore? Yes, for those just tuning in here's the quick and dirty of the new iteration. Then we'll get to the main topic.

The last stop on the trip home, Vietnam combined ancient history, modern history, and nature to give a good send off.
