Sovereign Launch
A Work In Progress, but what isn't?
I think this is complete enough that I can release it, hopefully get some folks to play it, and gather feedback. It’s open source. It’s been working at my table!
A while back, I wrote Yet Another Retroclone, and now I’ve gone ahead and implemented it (with some changes to the original design).
We start with the base of WWN’s SRD, swap out it’s economy with ACKs 2e, and then hyperfocus on playing pre-written modules. It’s extremely hyperlinked, mobile friendly, searchable, and indexed. It contains extensive examples of play and extremely direct, concrete and (in my opinion) practical GM advice. There's an extensive change log and huge table of recommended adventures.
Enjoy, let me know what you think, and if you find any errors!

This substack has proven to be an absolute goldmine -- I'm looking to hack the various _WN systems and your takes usually pull me into the more "practical" side of GMing. I'll be looking into the system, even if to take inspiration from the wiki-style formatting.
Why, if you mind me asking, did you pick the WWN system as a base? I understand you've mostly been running OSE, so it was a bit of an eyebrow-raiser. Could we trouble you for one of these fancy deep dives on a Crawford system?
Hey, do you have plan to prepare printable version of the system?
