Cliffhanger is an experiment that is unprecedented. Idiosyncrasy is so new that no comparison with this or that book of this or that characteristic or similar price, it is a library, I repeat: library, the first of its kind that we saw in Spain.
Hopefully was a timely effort in time, because then everything has been spilled about it would at least hint of relevance, but we must stress that a product composed of twelve units per year requires mental parameters and publishers have not yet have explored in our sector.
twelve worlds are twelve unique aspects. Texts are twelve, twelve sixty covers and inside illustrations that have arisen with the aim of demonstrating that a product, being cheap, it must be bad or amateur. And these twelve units and are linked are not born free, and infused arcane, but its final position due to a standard dosage period covered by many other factors, from choosing the theme, to the author, through the proper treatment of a common system undergoes changes that each author was printed in the creative exercise of its sovereignty.
course there will be games like some more than others, covers that entice more than the folks here and those of interior styles, text and illustration, causing likes and dislikes as individual field are in the way! That was the bet! Nobody has said that everything has to like it, and we would be fools if we try to justify such a thing.
Earlier I mentioned the creative sovereignty of the authors. Much has been said about them too much is what they had to endure for the sake of collaborating with Ludotecnia. The fact is that, despite everything and everyone, they are still here, more and more numerous and increasingly convinced that they are contributing something new and not only necessary but also beautiful. Because they contain ten or twelve egos and unique perspectives when creating, in a jar of essences as tiny as it is not easy. Has required an enormous effort of generosity on the part of authors must correspond, necessarily, with a proportional response editorial. As we stated at the presentation in Madrid, our working model is horizontal, community, almost familiar, because we feel like it that way, because we are comfortable, and it works.
Coordinate
many people so full of ideas has become very easy through mutual respect, from the common understanding of what is the role, as narrative and systemic application, or the visual version of its contents. And the result could not be better. We always atmospheres of the spin of a level that makes them slightly different, new environments to explore narrative, more experiments, in short, as that was it.
Cliffhanger is not only a microgaming experience or an ideal support to tinker with ideas that could not be covered in a manual more ambitious in its price and format, is a new way to dispose of material that following natural channels imposing our little sector, rarely end up crystallizing in a publication, but through our line offers a variety of formats and proposed affordable price, decent on the continent and content, which can serve to pull of those evenings that do not support epic campaigns or great deeds, but those that do it that we have to move forward while serving as the starting point for something different .
Cliffhanger is, ultimately, our particular Gallic village, where we feel comfortable and strong, if not irreconcilable, a small stronghold which to experience our way, playing to play. But best of all is that we have been us, and anyone else who we have imposed the 12 tests Asterix, from which may emerge stronger or not, but which certainly learn something, or a lot, while have fun.
