RFQ: Through Sunken Lands and Other Adventures
Hello. I'm looking for a quote regarding a project to build out a system that can handle Flatland Games Inc. TTRPGS (specifically Beyond the Wall, Through Sunken Lands, and Grizzled Adventurers).
These systems all use the same chassis, but would require different rollable tables and journal entries for their specific character building needs, but the actual sheets and such are largely the same.
Currently this is not sponsored or endorsed by Flatland in any way, so would use SRD content only, but I'm currently reaching out to them to get a greenlight on being allowed to flesh out more stuff with content from the actual books.
Type: System - OSR games - Beyond the Wall, Through Sunken Lands, Grizzled Adventurers
Short Description: A lightweight and not too sexy system to handle character sheets, rollable tables, basic journal entries for rules and regs etc.
Long Description: Beyond the World Freebies: https://www.flatlandgames.com/btw/downloads/ Through Sunken Lands Freebies: https://www.flatlandgames.com/tsl/ Grizzled Adventurers Freebies: https://www.flatlandgames.com/grizzled-adventurers/ These would form the core of the actors and journal entries. [CONTINUED IN THREAD]

Actor Sheets
Beyond the Wall: https://www.flatlandgames.com/btw/downloads/Beyond_the_Wall_Character_Sheet_Two_Page.pdf
Through Sunken Lands: https://www.flatlandgames.com/tsl/files/Through_Sunken_Lands_Form_Fillable_Two_Page_Character_Sheet.pdf
Grizzled Adventurers: https://www.flatlandgames.com/grizzled-adventurers/files/Grizzled-Adventurers-Player-Character-Sheet.pdf
Grizzled Adventurers Latecomers: https://www.flatlandgames.com/grizzled-adventurers/files/Grizzled-Adventurers-Latecomer-Character-Sheet.pdf
Expectations:
Note that all these character sheets are largely identical. I would expect a single "Character" Actor, but we'd need to include relevant Background fields that would pull from character generation tables.
NPCs
WIP: need to determine if there's merit to dividing Friendly NPC vs Monster or just using a generic NPC to cover both
Monsters
Bestiary: https://www.flatlandgames.com/btw/downloads/what_lies_beyond_chapman_bestiary.pdf
We'd need to spec out a monster sheet that can intake the information listed here. Fairly generic OSR/OSE monster info; basically any OSR/BX/AD&D etc. type NPC or Monster should be able to have their info filled in here re:
Name
Description
Hit Dice
Attack & Damage
Alignment
XP
Notes
Possibly requiring more info. WIP.
Misc. Entries
Items
Your standard array of weapons, armor, etc. If Flatland give thumbs up, we can rip straight from the books, if not, we'd need to have some default Item Types with fillable fields so GMs can manually create items as needed.
Rollable Tables
Significant volume here for Character Gen. Simple Question and Answer questions, but the answers have effects on Character Details.
Ideal: the rollable tables pump out "Background" Items which, when added to Character Sheets, automatically update so-and-so fields.
This would require a decent chunk of field mapping, and also may create a handful of different Character Actor subtypes as, e.g., the Fighter has different Background Questions to the Sorcerer.
My expectation is that this would be the biggest ballache of the project, tbh.
System Settings
I need to do more thinking and planning here for Project Scope, and will review the sourcebooks. WIP.,
Budget
I'm looking for a rough quote so that I can prepare a budget and set aside money for it.
I'm not looking to cheap anyone or get any favours, but this is a personal project and it would come out of my personal funds, so I'd need to prepare and save for a bit before I can actually pull the trigger, so I'm looking for a rough target of where I need to save to.
Thank you for your time 🙂
