Quickstart now available

March 5th - via: kickstarter.com
The only thing missing from it is the spells for one of the characters that they've already learned, and that will be there tomorrow when I've conferred with the person whose character it is. The PDF of the adventure can be found at my website Click... (Read More)

Not today's real update, but Fatpob asked if you could play the bad guys...

March 5th - via: kickstarter.com
And actually...  Not yet... This is the Dark side of the world, where the Mesohem chose to live after the war. It's not what I'm doing on this kickstarter, because I know the volume of material is more than I can put together in time for delivery. ... (Read More)

Quickstart coming tomorrow, and more updates

March 4th - via: kickstarter.com
Many say it's a rollercoaster doing a kickstarter, and I understand now what they meant, there's so many ups and downs that you have trouble keeping track of everything. But it's the last week starting tomorrow, and while the updates have been slow... (Read More)

March 2nd - via: kickstarter.com

So we're going looking for Geven on the top of Insai...

February 25th - via: kickstarter.com
And interestingly enough, the location played as much a part as the creature name itself in the results that came over on messages, so, I'll be writing that up in the next few days, but I'm conscious that I won't really have time to check it through... (Read More)

On Quickstarts within Kickstarts...

February 23rd - via: kickstarter.com
One thing I wanted to have ready for the Kickstarter was a quick start game with a few characters and a simple adventure to work with. With time constraints, I had to start the Kickstarter before I was entirely ready to ensure I could make the print... (Read More)

What makes a monster, Monstrous...

February 19th - via: kickstarter.com
There was a story a long time ago, of Tuckers Kobolds, a group of very low level monsters that wiped out an entire mid level party of adventurers because they were played smart, rather than simply piling on so that the players could wipe them out... (Read More)

Sometimes the day gets busy.

February 17th - via: kickstarter.com
And I haven't had time to prepare the update that deals with creatures in Quest, because I was late out of work and had to do the Expo games, so as with all things Kickstarter, it's a learning curve. Todays lesson is to make sure that I don't try and... (Read More)

February 14th - via: kickstarter.com
I've had quite a few messages asking for sneak peeks at the system, the monsters, the world, the setting, and while I'll share everything in time, I'm aware that huge infodumps are not the way forwards, so a question to all those helping me live my... (Read More)

February 12th - via: kickstarter.com
Morning all And the question was "If the hardcover stretch goal is reached, do the First Contact backers get a free hardcover upgrade?" Yes they do, that reward was set up to thank the people who supported the campaign early on. The Archiver reward... (Read More)

February 11th - via: kickstarter.com
It's been a brilliant first day, and I've had a lot of questions, particularly with regards to the rewards and stretch goals. To be clear, and I'll be editing the rewards to remove ambiguity: All reward levels receive the pdf stretch goals that are... (Read More)
