About this project
The Destiny6 Roleplaying Game is a dark fantasy roleplaying game created by Dolmen Creative owner, JP Quinn. JP, has been a long-time game designer and writer in the roleplaying games industry and has written many of the most popular roleplaying books in the last decade, most notably Dungeon Crawl Classics #1: Idylls of the Rat King and Dave Arneson's Blackmoor. He has worked with a number of game publishers, including: Bastion Press, Goodman Games, Swords & Sorcery Studios, Wizards of the Coast, and Zeitgeist Games.
The Project
The Destiny6 Roleplaying Game uses (you guessed it) six-sided dice. These are the same dice that are found in most board games and you can even buy a full set of 6d6 (that's six six-sided dice) for a $1 at your local Enormous-Mart. But, we recommend visiting your local game or hobby shop and pick up a bunch of cool-looking dice that reflect your personality (you'll thank us later for it).
The mechanics of the system are simple, roll a number of six-sided dice, and compare your result to a target number. If your total "meets or beats" the target number, you succeed. If your total is lower than that, you fail. This system is so simple that we have had a group of 8, 9, and 10-year-olds testing it. And they understood the game in just a few minutes (and it got them away from the television for a few hours).
Principle writing is completed and is in the editing stage. Everything is going very well, and the project is humming along nicely and will be ready for the PDF launch in December of this year and the print launch in February 2011.
The Kickstarter
We need to raise $10,000 to pay artists and layout and to order the print copies of the book. 80% of the Kickstarter project is going towards getting the book printed. Weighing in at 350-400 pages and a full-color cover makes printing this book out of reach of my personal wallet. The remainder of the Kickstarter will be used to commission a few last-minute pieces of artwork.
Backers
All backers at all pledge levels will be thanked in the credits of the book and on our website. A weekly "state of the book" e-mail will be sent to all backers (if they wish) detailing the current status of the project, though everyone is welcome to sign-up on our website's forums for regular updates. In addition, we are offering copies of our PDF book, autographed printed books, and even joining us in our booth at GenCon in 2011.
