I’ve been very vaguely thinking about producing a roleplaying game/setting based on my Tales of the Sundered Land series. (There’s only one book out at the moment, but it will be a series of at least four more books. Promise.)
I’m thinking a Fate Core game under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) licence, in a similar sort of style to Evil Hat’s Fate Worlds and Adventures series of releases. A bit denser on setting details than their releases, of course.
I feel like working on a project like this will benefit the series as a whole — sort of like a ‘setting bible’ that I can then use as a guide to help maintain consistency throughout the books. I’ll probably wait until after I finish up the book I’m currently writing, as I don’t want to overload myself, but if I get a spare minute here and there I might do a little work on it. In an ideal world, I might try to set up a proper Kickstarter once I’ve got a proper draft completed.
I’ve actually got a couple of other roleplaying projects on the backburner as well (one inspired by the Dungeon Keeper series and one inspired by games like Dark Souls and Darkest Dungeon). One day I’d like to sit down properly and do some real work on them all, but time is always at a premium at the moment with my full-time work and my current projects. Too many things I want to do, sigh.

Also, I’ve hit my writing goal today, and a little bit more besides.
