Sinister Design informs us that Telepath Tactics, their upcoming turn-based tactics game, will support user-created single player campaigns:

Hey, folks! It’s that special time once again, where I fill you in on all the goings-on in the development of Telepath Tactics.

First and most importantly, Telepath Tactics now supports user-created campaigns! You may recall me mentioning last month that Telepath Tactics will have a single player campaign. Well, why limit it to just one? The game now supports an unlimited number of user-created single player campaigns, each with their own custom characters, battles, enemies, items, attacks, dialog, and even cut scenes.

All it takes to add a new campaign to your copy of the game is to download the campaign as a zipped folder, then unzip it into the Campaigns sub-folder; Telepath Tactics will automatically recognize the new campaign and add it to the list for you play. Simple as that! Creating a new campaign is simple, too: just create a new folder, copy-paste the game’s default .xml files, then start editing and creating maps using any standard text editor and the Telepath Tactics map editor program.

On the gameplay side of things, I’ve added important features unique to campaign mode such as persistent character experience and leveling, as well as persistent character inventories.

Another cool feature: you can now hand-place items on the battlefield, or stick them inside of objects or characters. Want treasure-filled barrels? Easy! Want certain enemies to spawn with bandages or focus pills in their inventories? Go for it! This particular feature works in both multiplayer and campaign modes.
