Meteor tales is an indie project that i have been developing forever. the concept started at the age of 11 years old while entering the unknown then, but captivating world of pen & paper roleplaying games. It took me a while to realise what was happening as i played among teenagers and adults but i did not care, i was mesmerized.
Sessions became stories, stories became notes, notes turned to world building. Soon after, world building led to system development and game mechanics.
Over 20 years have passed since then. We never stopped playing. The frequency changed over the years, some people came and went, but we kept playing. All these years, the world building and the system development kept going endlessly. Effort after effort, testing and failure and dead ends. Make no mistake though, the process was the most fun i have ever had in my life.
However, this work could never and will never remain unfinished. It is more than a passion, it is a duty and a legacy. At the age of 34 now and counting, i am proud to release the 2nd Edition of the game.
