*A NEW BLACK BOX HAS BEEN RECOVERED!*

Detail of fresh inks by Christian DiBari, for the Black Box Chronicles RPG!

The RPG is being finalized by ENnie and UKGE award-winning game writer Andrew E Gaska (Alien: The RPG, The Role-Playing Game of Planet of the Apes), and Eric Thomas, with a Q1 2025 release planned by Magnetic Press Play

What’s in the box?? Originally envisioned as a shorter adventure, this project has grown *significantly* in scope over the past year. They've developed innovative mechanics tailored to the Black Box Chronicles, based on an all-new original story by us at .future.

If you backed the Black Box Kickstarter, you will be receiving the digital version once it's completed, as it was a stretch goal offered by Magnetic Press.

More details coming soon! 😊

Facebook Fans, Friends, and Family,

The Kickstarter preorder for the Role-Playing Game of the Planet of the Apes ends today! When I write this, we are pushing $308K with all bonus materials and additional add-ons for sale unlocked--save for the large ANSA Astronaut and Spaceship miniature set!

To unlock the ANSA ship mini for sale, we need to get to $350K in the next five or so hours (ending 8pm ET). Can you help?

If you've been on the fence about ordering this RPG, now's the time to give the Kickstarter page another look, we've got a lot of cool stuff unlocked, and lots of it is free for pledging. If you are just a fan of POTA, these books are designed to be the ultimate resource of the classic universe to have on your shelf.

I am the creative director and lead writer of this RPG event with my trusty lead game designer Eric Thomas at my side. We were joined by a bevy of talented writers, designers, artists, and sculptors including Dayton Ward, Rich Handley, Greg Cox, Jim Beard, David Avallone, David Walker, Kim Perrone, Dave Semark, Jared Earle, Runa Ivana, Chris Scalf, Shane Molina, Chandra Free, Moreno Paissan, Bill Pulkovski, David Arberas, Daniel Fernández-Truchaud, Kieran Russell, and more! And we wouldn't be here if not for the guidance of our very own project manager ToniAnn Marini, publisher Mike Kennedy at Magnetic Press, and many others who showed us support during the campaign.

Thank you!

If you haven't already, come join us. Link here and a pic of the ANSA ship mini is in the comments. Please give it a look, preorder if you can, and spread the word ASAP before this ends!

Yours,
Drew
Andrew E.C. Gaska
