So here's the result of some recent collaboration!

https://www.geeknative.com/131028/inhospitable-settings-restricting-magic-in-dd-5e/

Geek Native held a round table discussion on Inhospitable Settings in which several RPG designers talked about the attraction of settings that are a bit different, the importance of not straying too far from science and world-building techniques.

14/04/2021

So here's something I'll be doing this Saturday the 17th, at 3:00pm EST.

Have you thought about setting an RPG in an inhospitable such as a frozen world, dark planet or even in the ocean?

Who ever wondered what it would be like for dwarves and elves to reproduce?

04/10/2020

Here’s one of the Character Design commissions from that pledge option in the first kickstarter (for the Setting Primer), created by Luke Bower, and illustrated by Takemi ART:

This is This is Drazhan von Silburne, a wolf lycan-blooded paladin tracking his latest lycanthrope foe. He was born in & exiled from The Kingdom of Solace.

Lycan-blooded means that a close ancestor of his was an infected lycanthrope (Werewolf in this case).

As such, Drazhan can call on the power of the curse to do things like: heal damage quickly, track prey, and see in the dark. Further, he takes extra damage from silvered weapons, and cannot be infected by the bite of a lycanthrope.

Just one glimpse into the new character options in Fading Embers!

Come Back the entire Fading Embers Campaign Set on Kickstarter!

Less than 5 days to go ...

We're at 142%, with almost 200 non-backers following the project.

The Setting Primer is definitely going to be at least 100 pages of material for $10.

Tell your RPG friends and gaming groups!

The stronger the finish, the more $$$ can go to our artists in June!

19/05/2020

We're at 130% and counting, with 12 whole days left!

As the Over-Funding $$$ goes up I KEEP ADDING MORE material to the Primer. If we get up over $3k I suspect the Primer will pop up over 100 pages.

Not bad for $10. Please spread the word!
