For backers only. If you're a backer of this project, please log in to read this post.
We made it!
I want to thank each and every one of you for backing this project, I could not have done it without your support and efforts. While we are still a year away, I will do my best to keep you all up to date on the project and play testing, but feel free to email with any questions you may have, my "door" is always open.

The Clock Is Winding Down
With most of the ideas in the rough, rough, stage it's hard to give out previews of what will come, but I thought I would throw out some of the ideas I have for the Lost Continent:
Player Races-
A feline-humanoid race with bonuses to Dex and Int, they will be the main race on Gam'dao and the rulers of the land.
A simian-humanoid race with bonuses to Str and Dex that are the backbone of the soldier class.
An avian-humanoid race with bonuses to Wis and Cha that run both the underworld and commerce.
Another bear-humanoid race that are distant cousins to the Osotarians, with bonuses to Con and Wis, they are the spiritual warriors of the land.
Player Classes-
A Con based spell caster that channels the energy of the earth, water, air and fire. (for Pathfinder, I intend to incorporate temporary boons based on Ability Score points)
A Wis based martial class that uses no metal objects of any kind.
A variant of the Samurai and Ninja classes, based on Con and Dex respectively.
A divine class based on Str that pulls power from the four "spiritual dragons".
New Monsters:
A rodent-humanoid race that would essentially be the goblinoid population of the land.
Asian style dragons based on elements, not colors.
These are all tentative, but are goals I have set for the new book, there will be no guarantee that these will be final because they have yet to be playtested, but they are what we will be striving for.
THANKS!
Dice Bags!!!
Ok, so I got to thinking and I wanted to up the ante for this Kickstarter. In case you didn't know, one of the tiers includes a custom Dragon Chow Dice Bag, standard model, seen here: http://www.dragonchow.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=11
Now the difference being is that this bag will have BOTH the Blackbyrne Publishing logo AND the Age of Lords logo tiled on the fabric, both inside and out. (since they are reversible) Since I have wanted to do a custom bag since I first saw the Dragon Chow line, I want to make them available to all the tiers, all you have to do is add $15 to ANY existing or future pledge and when the survey comes through, let me know that is what the extra is for.
Enjoy!
