April 6th - via: kickstarter.com
The Cepheus Engine is a derivative of Traveller, which is famous for one thing, that being one of the first RPGs to use a "lifepath" system of character creation.  Instead of just rolling up your stats and choosing a "class" then starting play,... (Read More)

Halfway Done, Not Quite Halfway Funded.

March 30th - via: kickstarter.com
Alright, we've got thirteen days to go, and we're 48% funded. I'm seriously hoping for another big push towards the end. I also thought I'd talk about one of the features of the Para-Imperium setting, the Core Cultures. The Federation was founded as... (Read More)

Wow, not even forty-eight hours into the campaign and already we've raised more than my last Kickstarter project raised in total. Maybe I should look into stretch goals. What would you be interested in? Adventure modules? More ship designs? Other... (Read More)

Launched a bit early, decent start!

March 14th - via: kickstarter.com
To be honest, I wasn't trying to launch already, I thought that was the "submit for approval" button last night. But it's a good start so far. Below is a comic I commissioned from Chris Scott in order to illustrate the chapter on combat. So you have... (Read More)
