The Game is Dead...

LONG LIVE THE GAME!!!

Well. As many may already have heard, our Kickstarter project did not succeed. Despite the backing of many friends and many unknown, yet loyal, Aeranos fans, we didn't come close to the funds necessary to code this project. I would like to thank you all for your interest and encouragement through the adventure. I would also like to point out that the idea that IS Aeranos isn't dead. Both as a system within my own gaming circles, and an eventual complete book, Aeranos will continue. I'm just trying to figure out how exactly.

Although my blogs will be fewer and farther between for awhile, I will come back to this project - at least the RPG aspect if not the smartphone part. If you have thoughts, tips, advice or just RPG related comments I'd love to hear from you. I am considering a smaller project to get the book finalized.

Thanks again,
Kevin

New Primer - Ebon Slayer D20 Prestige Class!

A shadowy hero of the Aeranosian God of Death, the Ebon Slayer fights daemonic forces for the very souls of the realm. Trust us, he only looks evil.

Ebon Slayer Prestige Class

This prestige class is currently D20 3.5 but with a few tweaks he'll be PF compatible. This is just to let everyone know that we have plenty of D20 OGL goodness for the Aeranos setting too.

As always, remember to talk about Aeranos with everyone you meet.

Thanks!

New Aeranos Primer!

Okay. we had crunch, now here's some fluff, more specifically, a bunch of detailed information about the Gods and planes of Aeranos. See if you can glean the sources of our inspiration over the years. It's quite a collection, and we've had plenty of opportunity to flesh out the details. Be assured, story hooks abound.

New Combat Primer!

Here's the much anticipated primer on the meat of Aeranos, the combat system!

Take a look, pass it around. As you will see, we've tried to keep it simple, yet crunchy. There's nothing too earth-shatteringly different, which in our mind is a plus. The main thing we were going for is options without bogging down. Combat is deadly and quick, yet there are some things that keep characters from dying too often (there was only that one TPK, but there was a lich involved, and it was early in the playtesting...)
Anyway, here it is. I hope this generates a little added excitement for the project. As always, feedback is greatly appreciated.

p.s. I've also included a link here to the XP, Survival and Fate Points Primer.

p.p.s. I hope to have an audio recording of our latest Aeranos session up fairly soon.
Thanks for your support!

More Big News!

News of Note!
One of our backers has generously offered to pass out Aeranos swag at PAX East! Swag now includes stickers and bookmarks, along with posters. I have high hopes that the RPGnet ad and the CON exposure will generate some interest. Now if we could just get onto the featured page of Kickstarter...

Here's some images of the stickers and bookmarks.
