[Dreamscarred Press] Third Dawn Campaign Setting Released

[Bacris]

Almost a year in the making, one of our most ambitious projects to date, we're proud to present the Third Dawn Campaign Setting!

Enter a world of psionic power and mental might, where the thoughts of its citizens can become reality. Explore a world devastated millenia ago by a disaster brought about by magic, a magic that no longer exists. Discover a world without gods or clerics, without wizards or mages, a world that embraces the power of psionics and the art of the mind. Enter the Third Dawn Campaign Setting.

With over 140 pages of material, the Third Dawn Campaign Setting contains everything needed to start a new game in an all-psionic, magic-free world. Given a pantheon of godminds, the different cultures, nations, and races that live in the world of Third Dawn, and a variety of character options to fill in the gaps left by the departure of magic, get started today!

Get your hands on a fresh copy right now! And be sure to tell all your friends about it. And be sure to write in the forums to share what you think about it!

The Third Dawn Campaign Setting can be purchased from Dreamscarred Press, RPGNow, DriveThruRPG, Your Games Now, and Paizo!

Is this a 3.5 or a 4e release?

EDIT: I see it in Andreas' sig. For 3.5e.

[Wraith Form]

Seriously? 3.x? Damn. That just went from "must have burnin' hunk of love" to "maybe if there's nothing else 4th-edition-related to purchase first".

I really hope you plan to expand on phrenic shards and other 4th edition material.

There aren't any 4th edition psionic rules yet, are there?

Can't expect a third party publisher to invent them.

Your sig says "Third Dawn", but it links to "Complete Control".

Cheers,

Other than the complete absence of magic and its replacement with psionics what distinguishes this setting from all the others?

As has been pointed out before in this thread, there are no psionic rules available yet. However, if there are none in the PHB2 we do intend to look over the possibility of releasing it as a phrenic world instead. But that would mean providing atleast one phrenic base class which by itself is a huge release.

Right now we are in the process of writing and playtesting the Knightmare class (based on the Morphean) and it is our intention to release 4E variants on the Thoughtsinger, Society Mind, Marksman and Halo Knight too.

Thankyou and fixed!

Full integration of psionics is only one part, a post-apocalyptic but advanced world, a fresh look at races and culture, a focus on conspiracies and backstabbing politics and an alien species as a looming threat. To me, these things distinguish Third Dawn from others. Its a little of Dark Sun with a little of Eberron and a big dash of "our own" ideas.

The races are written so as to be compatible with the Pathfinder system and we are still awaiting a response from Paizo regarding licensing and releasing a Pathfinder Psionics book.

Is there going to be a print or POD version of the campaign setting?

[dammitbiscuit]

Oh hotness.

We're currently working to get a back cover done by the same gentleman who did the front cover layout (Erik Nowak).

Once that's done, a POD version is possible through Lulu.com, although due to sales of our print books, is not high on our priority list.

I know I want a printed copy for my own library (I have a printed version of every edition of a book we've printed ).

[Bacris]

Additionally, we are working on a Player's Guide to Third Dawn, as well as a small, introductory, free preview-type product to introduce to Third Dawn without giving away too much.

I definitely support this idea. I think such products help potential buyers ferret out more details that make or break interest in the product, and more is always good.

Count me in as someone who wants a print version.

Additionally, we are looking at releasing our books via Print-on-Demand through Amazons CreateSpace service, which would allow you to buy our books via Amazon and gain all the benefits of their shipping benefits, for example.

This is however not 100% definite yet.

Brilliant idea. Good to hear that freaking Cafe Press has some competition. Evil gits.

Thankyou, although by my knowledge CafePress doesn't do PoD for books, while Lulu does.
