Back on track!

2010-06-09T19:43:00.000-07:00

With OpenD6 now a reality, I can tell you the current plan:

Infinite Dreams RPG is back to its original name thanks to "Gestalt: The Hero Within" coming out since the original name change announcement. All previously mentioned D6 projects are back on track. The website has been partially updated, mainly to update contact info.

Infinite Dreams RPG will be a full D6 System product and include rules and source materials. The following products will have two versions, one with rules built in, the other as just a D6 sourcebook with stats: Immortal Siege; Mecha Saga; Space Cowboys. Time, Space and Beyond and the "D6 Guide to ..." series will only be D6 sourcebooks (might change my mind on TSaB though). All D6 products will have OpenD6 documents posted online some time around their release.

While going through my notes, I found some of my original D6 doodles for ID back in the mid 90s. Surprisingly, they are pretty much still usable for the game as it looks like it will be.

Projects on hold but not forgotten or canceled

2009-05-14T20:18:00.000-07:00

All projects are on hold waiting on OpenD6 (which I may not have to, not sure of the status of my old D6 License) and some personal issues like another move. I have moved like 6 times since coming to the Las Vegas Valley.

Not Dead, Not Forgotten!

All work on the various D6 projects is on hold until we know more about the possible sale of WEG and/or The D6 System. This will give me time to reevaluate the planned projects as I have been having a ton of bad luck with trying to get any of them to fruition. It is amazing how much nothing can be completed between one's personal life/day job issues and contact (or lack of it) with freelancers.

Updates

2008-01-14T19:48:00.000-08:00

Work is going well on our D6 Rulebook tentatively called Gestalt RPG. The Infinite Dreams name got move to a different project (again).

Immortal Siege and Time, Space and Beyond are making some progress. Mecha Saga and Space Cowboys are still in the outline stage. All planned D6 Guides are on the very back burner. As is Teqel.

I (hopefully) now have a webmaster lined up to handle all the planned sites.

I am waiting (like everyone else) to see how the announced SRD/OGL version of D6 turns out.

Updates Now, No Really This Time

2007-11-10T20:10:00.000-08:00

Sigh, between staff reorganizations, the Move, the After Move and Life in General, lots has happened to interfere with Toreishi's plans

The status of Toreishi's projects can be summed up as: D6, Baby! Yeah! Err, all projects, except Teqel, are now D6 System.

Infinite Dreams will still be a D6 System corebook.

The following projects will be D6 System sourcebooks which will only require some form of D6 System corebook:

Immortal Siege
Mecha Saga
Space Cowboys
Time, Space and Beyond
D6 Guide to ... series

Teqel will most likely stay with the TriDice system.

More information will be available in the next few days.

Thank you for hanging in there with us in these trying times.

Updates Soon

2007-08-26T07:02:00.000-07:00

In late September, I will be announcing Toreishi's restructure plan and what it means for our products.

2007-07-22T14:34:00.000-07:00

Here is the status of the known Toreishi Design Studio's projects:

1) "Infinite Dreams Role Playing Game" is seriously behind schedule due to staff issues.

2) "Immortal Siege Role Playing Game" is waiting on the results of the "HARP Sci-Fi Beta".

3) MechaSaga, Teqel and Space Cowboys are on the back burner.

4) Hopefully at least one "D6 Guide to ... " book will be ready by the end of 2007.

5) The updated and new websites were lost to the above mentioned staff issues.

Update!

2007-04-15T16:54:00.000-07:00

Here is a quick summary of the status of the known Toreishi Design Studio's projects:

1) "Infinite Dreams Role Playing Game" seems to be on for a July 2007 release.

2) The Quick Play version of IDRPG should still be ready before that.

3) "Immortal Siege Role Playing Game" is up in the air, as I need to see what happens with "HARP Sci-Fi".

4) "MechaSaga" is in playtesting.

5) "Teqel" is not in playtesting.

6) "Space Cowboys" is on the back burner.

7) At least one "D6 Guide to ... " book should be ready by the end of 2007.

8) Sadly none of the product websites are ready yet (Hurry up, Billy!).

9) Still trying to survive the attempts at the previous 8 items on this list!

Quickie FAQ II:

1) Infinite Dreams is still a D6 System product. "Time, Space and the Beyond" is still being worked on. The "monster book/bestiary" still does not have a name.

2) The D6 System line for MechaSaga and Space Cowboys is still unnamed.

3) Immortal Siege is still based on the HARP/HARP Sci-Fi Beta.

4) Any information lacking in this FAQ will hopefully be exposed soon either here on the blog or on our website.

The Short, Short Version!

2007-01-09T20:12:00.000-08:00

Here is a quick summary of Toreishi Design Studio's plans for 2007:

1) Have "Infinite Dreams Role Playing Game" ready for a July 2007 release.

2) Have a Quick Play version of IDRPG ready before that.

3) Have "Immortal Siege Role Playing Game" ready for an early 2008 release (or a few months after HARP Sci-Fi comes out, whichever is second).

4) Have "MechaSaga" in some form of playtesting.

5) Have "Teqel" in some form of playtesting.

6) Have "Space Cowboys" in some form of playtesting.

7) Have at least one "D6 Guide to ... " book ready by the end of 2007.

8) Have most/all of the related websites ready for the above products.

9) To try to survive attempting the previous 8 items on the list!

Quickie FAQ:

1) Infinite Dreams will be part of its own D6 System Line. Planned products include the core book, "Time, Space and the Beyond" (adds more Extranormal attributes/power systems and additional rules to cover extreme settings) and some type of monster book/bestiary.

2) MechaSaga/Mecha Saga and Space Cowboys will be part of the same as yet unnamed D6 System product line.

3) The D6 Guide to ... series will also be its own D6 System line.

4) Immortal Siege is based on the HARP game system and the as yet unnamed HARP Sci-Fi project. It is currently planned to be only one book but sales and community interest can change this. The setting is in the near future when the ancient evils have returned to claim their world and uses a rule set that is comprised of both HARP systems. Note: Immortal Siege is exactly the same product that used to be announced as being the HARP based Infinite Dreams Role Playing Game, just with a name change that fits the setting better and to free up the old title for a game that fits it better.

5) Teqel will use an in-house system currently called tri-dice/three dice that uses a 3d6 roll over system. Plans include multiple sourcebooks.

6) Any information lacking in this FAQ will hopefully be exposed soon either here on the blog or on our website.

Okay, maybe that was the long, short version (the daisho version) Thank you for taking the time to read this message!
