My latest Kickstarter- Atlantis the Second Age

Update #26 · Apr 9, 2013 · comment

I wanted to give you all the heads up on another project I’m currently working on called Atlantis: The Second Age. It uses the same system as HELLAS revised (and the up coming GODSEND Agenda) and adds a few things to amp up the sword and sorcery feel.

So far I’ve tackled the genres of super heroes, science fiction and now with Atlantis, I’ll be taking on the genre of Swords and Sorcery.

You can take a look at the kickstart at the link below where you can download the draft manuscript and have a look at some of the artwork.

I wanted to thank you all again for your help and patients with the HELLAS books. I really appreciate all the support you have given me. You guys are like magicians that used positive energy to make an idea into reality. Thank you

 

 

All the books have been shipped for a few weeks now so everything is in route now.  If you live over seas don’t worry, the books are on their way. It may take a little longer with the holidays and all.

 

If the books haven’t arrived by the New Year please get in contact with me and hound me. It may be postal error or my own gross incompetence (most likely me since the post office never makes mistakes).

 

If you like the books or have gripes please go on your favorite forums and let the world know and if you really feel strongly write a review. The game needs people talking about it to make an impression.  Halfway down the page at the Craven Games website there is an article on HELLAShttp://cravengames.com/ . The adventure sounded like so much fun I couldn’t believe I wrote it.

 

 

As for what’s next-

 

The next HELLAS book I hope to start writing next year. It will be the 5th and final HELLAS core book. It will contain all the weird creatures and diabolic adversaries that populate the HELLAS universe. Everything from talking monoliths to Blue Meenies.

 

Once that book is done the game will be complete with enough content to play for years to come. Don’t worry; there will be smaller supplements and adventure books.  

 

At the moment I’m rewriting the Atlantis: the Second Age book with two very creative and awesome guys. Some of you may remember the Atlantis books from the old Arcanum books from the late 80’s. I’m stripping it down and rebuilding it from the ground up making the best Sword and Sorcery fantasy game I can. You will either love it or hate it and that my intention I want a strong reaction when it’s done. That will be a 3 book game line

 

After that I plan on revamping my first love GODSEND Agenda. I’ve been working on that one for the past year and a half and it works well with the new system

 

I’ll definitely need play testers for all of this so I may come to you and humbly ask for help

 

 

 

Once I’m done with HELLAS, Atlantis, and GODSEND Agenda I’ll have three games that use (almost) the same system. Beyond that I don’t know…maybe I’ll learn to play the bass, become a ninja or just try and be a better human being.

 

Be good to one another, give to a charity http://www.givewell.org/ love one another, and thank you.

 

Have a happy holiday season and thank you for your patients and generosity.

 

 

Woforo dua pa a, na yepia wo

Update,

 

I had a whole thing planned for you guys with pictures and everything but unfortunately the weekend took its toll on my and my ambitions to show you the boxes of books propping up tables and being used as placemats for my dinner table.

 

The book are taking up space in my garage and sanctum sanctorum unfortunately your books aren’t here. The books that are owed you are actually on their way to your homes.

Address update

Update #23 · Oct 27, 2012 · 2 comments

Hello everyone.

 

It’s getting close to that time so I want to make sure that I have everyone’s address up to date. The books aren’t here yet but I want to get a head starts so that when they do arrive I can slap a shipping label on a package and keep it pushing.

 

If you’ve moved since the Kickstarter ended please send me an email with the new address.

 

 

PLEASE do not send me an email stating that your address has not changed, it only causes me confusion. I only want the contributors who have changed address to contact me.

 

Thanks for all the help and support

It should be about 2-3 weeks until the books arrive and take up space in my garage and man cave. Once I have the books I start shipping them out as fast as I can to get the books to you guys.

 

Not long now
