Awhile ago I wrote a roleplaying game called FU (Freeform / Universal). It has met with some success and there is a small, growing and enthusiastic fan-base for it. Last year a French writer and game designer named Cedric Ferrand contacted me to ask if he could base his own game on mine. I am very excited and pleased that the Wastburg RPG has now been published! It is in French and only available in France at the moment, but looks very cool!
I have had nothing to do with the creation of the game, beyond giving permission to use my rules. Congratulations to Cedric and his publisher!
How exciting!
Yes, it is very cool!
I have to ask – do you get royalties? I hope so – congrats – must be nice to have someone love your work
No royalties, but free marketing to an audience that I don’t speak the language. Cedric and I had long discussions, and in the very small roleplaying game market, this was a win-win situation for us!
Congratulations on your fame by association Nathan!
Fame by association is the best kind. You get far fewer attacks from the paparazzi! 🙂
wow what a compliment.
Ah a man of many talents I see!
that is awesome!! My hubby and I love RP! Although am more a computer gamer/old school lanning… I love a good night in role playing! While watching Sharpe and eating pizza.. 🙂
Yay to Geek games! Says the mum who had all four kids playing Dungeon last night. Wonder if we can work up to D&D? Or your game? 😉
Congratulations! That is very exciting. My 8 yr olds dream is to be a ‘proffesional gamer’ when he grows up. I hope he follows that dream!

It’s a tough path, but not an impossible one. There are many opportunities for the motivated individual and Australia is just as good a place to do it as anywhere else, which is great.
