Latest Updates from Our Project:

Shipping & such
5 months ago – Thu, Jun 13, 2024 at 12:10:42 PM

If you get quoted a large amount of shipping on Backerkit it's probably my fault.  (First time user on setting up Backerkit).

Each book is going to be about 2 pounds each so if you want additional copies I can give you a cost estimate (assuming the Backerkit cost is very high).  Shipping outside the USA will be somewhat pricy according to what I have seen on the US Postal Service website.  You can reach out to me directly at [email protected]

Backerkit Notifications Being Sent
5 months ago – Tue, Jun 04, 2024 at 06:02:27 AM

You should be receiving your Backerkit notification sometime this week regarding the fulfillment of the project. 

This is you chance to add on any additional copies of the book you might like.

I'm planning on attending the PAGE convention in Philadelphia in January 2025 so if you will be attending you can pick up your books and save on shipping.

What a difference a month makes!

Sorry for the lack of updates since the funding of the project.  I've been looking into interior artists and have found some suitable candidates and will share examples as they come in.

I'm planning on using Backerkit to handle the Fulfillment aspect of the project so expect some further communication on that front.

Writing wise the core rules are being edited and revised somewhat with a few additions to character generation and the magic system.

Work has begun on the adventures as well as the 'world guide' type stuff (temple societies, magician groups, outlaws, military units of note, and similar).

Also a random adventure/travel system is being developed based on the 'hex flower' concept used in some other RPGs.  Basically a graphic representation / more complex version of your basic 'random encounter' tables.  The original encounters will be included as well if that is more suited to your game play style.

We have hit 100 backers on this project with about 2 days to go.  Thank you again for believing in this project and backing it.  The more funds the project generates the larger the art budget will be.
