I love the concept of Weirdhope contrasted against Grimdark (not that there's anything wrong w/GD). I think it's sorely needed by a lot of ppl today.
The mechanics are simple, based on Mark of the Odd system, it barely takes up a spread to summarize. The tables for generating content is EXTENSIVE. I don't even need to do prep - David Blandy you have valued my time as a GM/person lol.
Lastly, the setting of the seas takes the great Eco Mofos!! ethos to the ocean's, and as a GM I love sea-faring settings. There's so much potential. I hope everyone checks this out and gets the full release next year.
Eco Mofos and Islands of Weirdhope are games that feel more like they found me than the other way around. A perfect blend of simplicity, complexity, and phenomenal art makes for some of the most positive experiences I have ever had at the table, either as a GM or player.
Eco Mofos has been so inspiring for me, and Islands of Weirdhope looks to take it to the next level! I'm already daydreaming about the solo campaigns I'll be playing in this world. Can't wait!
Eco Mofos has been a wellspring of awesomeness and inspiration for me, and a gust of fresh breath. I'm beyond excited that David Blandy is continuing this path with Islands of Weirdhope, and looking at this quickstart document, it will be a titan of a game.
The two things I want from a tabletop roleplaying game book are useable systems for doing cool things (sailing! Giant robots!) and a beautifully presented, strange world to just exist in for a while. Eco Mofos managed to do both of those things, and this - its cooler, weirder, more confident sibling (or perhaps child? cousin? protege?) - manages to expand in both directions.

As ppl say in your country: "I say, good show!"

That’s amazing to hear, thank you!
Can’t wait for Islands of Weirdhope. Eco Mofos is one of my favorite games of all time!
Thank you, that’s lovely and baffling at the same time, but also made my day.
Eco Mofos has been so inspiring for me, and Islands of Weirdhope looks to take it to the next level! I'm already daydreaming about the solo campaigns I'll be playing in this world. Can't wait!
Thanks! I’m really looking forward to getting the solo mode really tight.

Thanks Caelin, you’re a constant inspiration.

oh thanks so much! Glad you think it’s taking the game in interesting directions.
A little video me and Dan made
After reading the Quickstart, looks like it is going to be a solid game. Excited to see the finished game.
Thanks Ivo, really appreciate that!
