HYPERBOREA » HYPERBOREA ADVENTURE THREE-PACK KICKSTARTER IS NOW LIVE!

Ghul · 5/16/2015 11:42 am

My friends,

The new Kickstarter campaign is now live!

HYPERBOREA ADVENTURE THREE-PACK

The award-nominated role-playing game, Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea™ is back with three new, exciting adventures!

Ghost Ship of the Desert Dunes™ (Talanian)
Forgotten Fane of the Coiled Goddess™ (Salvador)
Beneath the Comet™ (Ball)

Each of these sword-and-sorcery adventure modules is site-based, fleshing out some small portion of the Hyperborea setting and providing classic, memorable adventure material. These adventures are designed for the AS&SH™ game, but they are suitable for use with the traditional editions of the world's most popular RPG, as well as its modern simulacra, such as OSRIC™ and Swords & Wizardry™.

Physically, each module will be saddle-stitched, range from approximately 44 to 56 pages, and measure 8.5 x 11 inches. Each will feature full-colour, card stock covers, and sharp, black & white interiours.

I caught that too! Thanks for supporting, Scaley!

I'm in! Also, Jeff, I was wondering - how much of the writing, editing, art and layout is finished at this point?

Edit: He said all the writing, editing and art has been completed - so only layout and printing remains. Nice.

I have thrown precious sequins your way Jeff: while I don't require a Perciplex as one of the treasures, surely there's a Pectoral Skybreak Spatterlight in one of the modules?

Cheers,

Why, Rhialto, for twenty terces I phrase the answer in clear and actionable language; for ten I use the language of cant, which occasionally admits of ambiguity; for five, I speak a parable which you must interpret as you will; and for one terce, I babble in an unknown tongue.

Very cool! I'm trying to get some $$ together for this one.

Broke through the $10k mark ($10,461; 75%) in the first 26 hours. Not bad! Surely a nice testament to the appeal of what you guys have created.

I'm thrilled to see the early, positive response! It's very encouraging.

Splendid!
'I am more inclined to punish Hurtiancz for his crassness,' said Ildefonse. 'But now he simulates a swinish stupidity to escape my anger.'
'Absolute falsity!' roared Hurtiancz. 'I simulate nothing!'
Ildefonse shrugged. 'For all his deficiencies as polemicist and magician, Hurtiancz at least is candid.'

And hey, you made it on Black Gate.

Doctor_Rob · 5/18/2015 9:15 am

Only 100 more dollars to go and you've hit the target. All in two days. Impressive!!

Looking good!

Ghul · 5/18/2015 8:49 pm

The Black Gate plug is huge! Very kind of them to do that. Thank you, fellows!

Scalydemon · 5/18/2015 11:10 pm

Suggestion for $50,000 stretch goal : Mastodon hide binding

Chainsaw · 5/18/2015 11:38 pm
