@Barnett1967- Thanks for the remarks. Glad you liked this one. There are a few more that I am quite proud of that Jeff has yet to release that I think everyone will like. Thanks again.

Jeff-

Are there any differences between the 2e version of the Purloiner, Huntsman, and Cryomancer, and the versions found in AFS?

Yes—they've been edited.

The huntsman in particular will have undergone significant revision when published in Second Edition. Consider if you will the original drafts of the cavalier and barbarian in DRAGON® compared with the final published versions in Unearthed Arcana.

Is it weird that I'm actually more interested in 2E because of the new layout and another editing process than the new content itself? :D

Ghul - I note from your latest Kickstarter post that one can order an additional map.

However, having looked at the Kickstarter page and worked my way through the 'manage your bid' thing, I can't see where these maps are listed or how to include further add-ons.

Maybe I'm being a bit dull and these things should be obvious, but could you give a pointer as to how one goes about including add-ons to an existing bid. Thanks!

I think you're having the problem Jeff discussed in this update:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1806106772/astonishing-swordsmen-and-sorcerers-of-hyperborea-0/posts/1720524

It's not your fault - just pointlessly idiotic web design on the part of Kickstarter.

As for including add-ons, just raise your bid. Jeff will sort out what you want when the campaign ends.

Thanks Blackadder - much appreciated!

**Posted by Ghul** 11/16/2016 11:58 am

Thanks for clarifying that, BA23. Much appreciated.

4 Days, 4 Daemons! Russ Nicholson Art!

That is the title of our newest Kickstarter update!

Check out the amazing art by the man best known for illustrating the Fiend Folio and Fighting Fantasy!

As we work our way closer to the final hours of the AS&SH 2E Kickstarter campaign, I would like to thank you for your generosity and support. It's very gratifying to know that traditional tabletop gaming with a strong sword-and-sorcery vibe is something that resonates with so many gamers.

Gaming fellows,

We are now under 60 hours left for the AS&SH 2E Kickstarter campaign. In today's update (#21), we are focusing on the amazing art of Mr. Charles Lang. We also give a shout-out to Mr. David Prata for his tireless editing efforts.

We are approaching our final stretch goal--a second satin bookmark in the AS&SH 2E hardback.

We are nearly 400% funded! Pledge with confidence!

Thank you for your support.

Kind regards,

Many thanks, fellows!
