What's New
August 2004 : Latest Project Developments
Wow, It's been a while since the last update here. First, please note that my email address has changed. If you have tried to contact me by email in the last 6 months, please resend your messages to the new address @laposte.net as I will not have received them. I'll make a point to get back to you quickly.
Now to the latest developments to the project : since the release of the sourcebook, the main focus has not been the release of new articles. I have worked on collecting relevant inspiration material to complement the sourcebook. The result is the "In search of Bretonnia" distribution. This is a work in progress which currently consists in 1 CD of multimedia content. Contact me if you are interested in contributing or would like to get a copy. I am currently based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in the North-East of England and would be happy to meet people in/or visiting this area who have an interest in the project.

Bretonnia-Project is still open to submissions

August 2002 : Pulchrezzia Colonna, the new Queen of Bretonnia makes a visit to Guisoreux
Check out our Guisoreux sourcebook.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
March 2002 : Bretonnia-Project has now started publishing
Current PDF count : 71 pages
Don't trust the unfrequent messages here : the website has in fact been updated much more regurlarly.
All being well, we plan to release a Guisoreux sourcebook this summer. Other objectives include Bretonnian Religion and some stuff on Oisillon and the Royal Court. It's the right time to join, if you feel creative enough for the challenge.
James Wallis of Hogshead hinted that an official Bretonnian background supplement might be produced by Hogshead some time in the future. We think that Hogshead always planned to publish a Bretonnian sourcebook, but that the growing interest in Bretonnian background has just now decided them to get moving. To be realistic, this supplement may still not see the light of day for many years. At Bretonnia-Project we are indeed curious and eager to see what Hogshead can come up with. Hogshead's objective will be to make the WFB5 and WFRP lines meet, which is of course very different from the objective of Bretonnia-Project. We are hoping that the announcement of an official sourcebook will fuel yet more interest in our own work and we are more than ever looking for new submissions and writers. Bretonnia-Project, the free and independent sourcebook for WFRP Bretonnia, constitutes an alternative setting for WFRP. It can be used to complement the future official supplement if you play a WFB / WFRP mix. On the other hand, if you play modern side or if you dislike the WFB5 version, we are very clearly targetting replacement of the official (not free) supplement. The key point for Bretonnia-Project was to get the Bretonnian flavour right, we can only hope the Hogshead author will be capable of achieving this. In this hope, we wish him good luck.

Bretonnia-Project

# update 1 : 18/12/2001 :
The
final version of the scenario "De
Ribeyrac's Letter" is now online. This
scenario was first made available as part of the WFRP Adventure
Collection. This is an updated version, though the changes are mainly
cosmetic. We should be using the same type of format for all our
final products, I hope you like it.
More updates should follow in the next few days... A Bretonnian background discussion through email is also scheduled, if you want to take part, just drop me a line.
30/ August / 2001 : Update, Update, Update...
Some files have been updated and others have been added. The website has been reorganised too.
We have quite a few files in the pipeline, however
we will only be able to deliver them if we find some people to do
proofreading/editing on them. So if you feel capable of doing the
job, please volunteer.
We'll also need new authors/helpers for the sourcebook to
succeed...
This is an Internet Sourcebook. Free, Fanbased and open
to all sensible suggestions. If you think some of our material is
poor, let us know about it and write an alternative version for the
project. Thanks to all who by their feedback, help the project to
make progress :-)
It is now possible to download the complete
website from our download page.
By the next site update we should
have one or two complete Bretonnian scenarios available for download
and maybe also some Bretonnian ready-to-play PCs.
14/ August / 2001 : Site
Update
This Update has seen the addition of a
money section so as to compare the coinage of Bretonnia with that of
the Empire.
The map section has been updated and there has also
been both a language section and an additional sources section
included.
25/ May / 2001 : Site
Revised
We hope to achieve a more significant
update this summer...hopefully.
Those who have questions about the
project could start by visiting the
Bretonnia Forum at RPN and are very welcome to start some
new threads there.
We are planning on creating a new page for the
project members to give their opinion about Bretonnia and the
Bretonnia-Project. To all the project members : Please make some
submission for the website (anything you think could be of interest).
New File :
Several
maps of Bretonnia and 2 new drafts have been added to the site in the
background section. They should be considerered as "almost final
versions".
We intend to provide all files in both doc and
html format (and pdf for the final versions).
The Site :
Wardy
has taken over the site. This update is very late mainly because
Wardy took a long time to do it....
Anyway, frames have been added
to help simplify navigation. Wardy insisted on it, so I had to let
him do it.
Those wanting to practice their French can now visit
our independant French site.
Also a (links)
section has been added.
The presentation page is an attempt to
give an overwiev of the different aspects of Bretonnia. Some of the
characters depicted on the pictures may play important roles in our
great Bretonnian Campaign (which we need more writers for).
10/ December / 2000 : Second
update
The project has made a bit more progress.
It looks like this project will actually achieve something... But
I'm not really sure what. (:-|
"Current status"
is a new page with some information about the current state of the
project.
"The Bretonnian timeline" is now in HTML form
(in French and in English).
New File :
-
Charles de la Tête d'Or, a brief description of the Bretonnian
monarch and some information on
recent Bretonnian events (HTML).
The Site :
Most of
the pages have been updated.
The site now makes use of the
Project logos : the red sun (symbol of the Bretonnian king) and the
fleur de lys
(Emblem of the Le Breton family).
I took down
the (French and English) flags on the Download Page because some
people complained about them.
So if you don't like something on
these page, just complain and we will change it... Or maybe not...
The section in French language has also been updated with "Nouvelles Fraîches du royaume".
08/ October / 2000 : First
update
The project has made some progress.
"About
the Bretonnia project" is updated, more information can be found
in "The basis of the Bretonnia project",
"The
draft of the Bretonnian timeline" in txt form can be downloaded.
A section in French language is added "La base du projet
Bretonnien".
20/ August / 2000 : Site
created (the design is very basic).
The project has
just started.
Check out the introduction "About the
Bretonnia project"
