Patreon Announcing the Against the Dark Yogi / Shadows Over Sol Patreon!

[beholdsa]

If you like Shadows Over Sol or Against the Dark Yogi and want to see more support in the future, with published adventures and other supplements, you should check out our Patreon!

Our plan is to release an adventure or other short supplement for either Against the Dark Yogi or Shadows Over Sol every two to three months. When we publish more Saga Machine games in the future, we may add supplements for them to the mix as well.

Our target length for each of these supplements is 32 pages or more. Backers will receive both a PDF copy of the supplement, as well as the option to order a print copy “at cost,” meaning at the minimal price required to print the book. Later we will make these supplements available on DriveThruRPG, but Patreon backers will get them first and get them at a lower price point.

This is how we plan to fund future supplements for our game lines, because it helps us gauge interest in different concepts, and gives us a better estimate on what our final production budget should be. This also means we can afford to pay our artists, writers and editors a fair wage for their work.

About Against the Dark Yogi:

A thousand cities with myriad customs fill the subcontinent of Bhurloka. Wandering ascetics practice austerities on mountaintops, seeking spiritual enlightenment and supernatural powers. Rajas stand before their palaces speaking to their peoples. Chariots roll and elephants march with armies to war.

But Bhurloka stands at the precipice of disaster. A sinister figure—the Dark Yogi—has risen to power. It is whispered that he has the ability to directly attack dharma, the very order of the universe, itself. Dharma, however, does not sit idly by. It has selected but a few to champion its cause. These Chosen of Dharma have the power to restore the balance of the world.

Tales of countless adventures in Bhurloka await the telling. Befriend the monkey-people, the vanaras. Face down the cruel rakshasa Ravema in his island fortress. Climb Mount Niru and visit the gods themselves. Treat with the naga tribes deep in the underworld, Patala. And much, much more!

Now is a time of legend!

About Shadows Over Sol:

Two hundred years from now what should be the shining beacon of the future is instead cloaked in conspiracy and horror. Humankind has expanded throughout the solar system, and there it has discovered mysteries older than humanity.

The culture has shattered into myriad subcultures; nation-states are the hollow shells of what they once were. Corporations and other groups wage small-scale wars in the streets or in space. Bioengineered horrors left over from these conflicts stalk the hulls of ruined stations and abandoned colonies.

But for an enterprising team willing to brave the horrors, there’s always a profit to be made.

Shadows Over Sol is a hard science fiction horror roleplaying game using the Saga Machine system. Its features include:

• Discover the secrets of the Sol system, with multiple GM options to keep players on their toes.
• Support for a wide spectrum of play in the science fiction and horror genres.
• A fully-realized setting with a detailed breakdown of both social dynamics and the solar system, from Mercury to the Oort Cloud.
• Systems for personal combat, engineering, hacking and more!
