Hello fellows, Just a quick reminder: 3 days remain for our Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers Kickstarter Campaign. For folks who are interested in this boxed set RPG, please note that a "Copper Level" support pledge gets you the game (boxed set with manuals, map, dice, and character sheet)...

Fellows, Seven days remain for the Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea Kickstarter Campaign. Meeting our 10k stretch goal will be a great help in reducing out of pocket expenses for this project. Thank you to all our gaming peers for your generous pledges of support and well wishes...

In the introduction, Moorcock says that he wrote the first draft of Eternal Champion when he was 17! It's actually a good introduction. He talks about how some writers, up on their high horses, tend to cite only the "classics" when asked what influenced their writing, while Moorcock is not...

How odd. It was just yesterday that I finished crating all the Christmas decorations, and as I was preparing to store, I bumped into all my crates of books. Well, I routinely read three books at the same time. One on the nightstand, one by the throne, and one in the car. Presently, there was...

Actually, if Gary Con gets any bigger, their going to have to move it to Milwaukee. It's deja-vu all over again! ;)

That's very generous of you, Chris, and much appreciated. I'm thrilled to hear that you and some of my other gaming peers here and elsewhere are looking forward to the finished product. :) Cheers, Jeff T.

Thank you for your support and enthusiasm for the project! It is much appreciated. :) That was very kind of you, Mark. I would like to return the favor by linking CMG at my AS&SH web site. Networking is great way to spread the word! Kickstarter allows me to track what links pledges come in...

Fellows, I'm happy to announce we have achieved our $6000 fundraising goal for the Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea Kickstarter Campaign. This will allow us to go to print early this year as planned, so thank you for the support, fellows! I am so very grateful for all the well...

Hello, My name is Jeff Talanian, and I have an exciting new RPG slated for release in early 2012. We are using KICKSTARTER to help fund its initial print run. Some of you may recall my work with Gary Gygax (R.I.P.) during his last years with us. I was his co-author for Castle Zagyg, and...

I'd love to see a copy of that, Allan! B-)

R.I.P. His work has had a profound impact on me, and served as my introduction to this hobby. I'll forever cherish his contributions to D&D. Just yesterday I was again perusing the pages of my Holmes book for all the unique little gems within. And, just today, a mere hour ago, he was on my...

I agree. And I respect the fact that, conversely, some might view this as a deal breaker, that they must have their hobbit, dwarf, or what have you. And that is fine, but it is not part of the design goal for this system.

Thanks, Allan. High praise coming from the likes of the legendary grodog! And I'll be sure to pass the kind words over to Ian.

I don't recall seeing your name in the orders that went out today, Harley... :confused:

An important tone setter. Thank you for mentioning it. Only a problem if we took ourselves too seriously. ;) Simple question, though requires a more lengthy response. I'll try to be concise: AS&SH is not a clone, per se, though it shares some of the mechanics the clones seek to emulate. The...

Here is a quote from EGG's preface to Castle Zagyg: The Upper Works: <snip> The work began with a single dungeon level in the late autumn of 1972, with the first exploration party being composed of characters created by my eldest son, Ernie, and my eldest daughter Elise. The very next day they...

dm4hire -- Thank you kindly. Every bit of support is a great help.

I'm afraid I won't be at NTRPG, Harley, but we did run a bunch of AS&SH at Gary Con II this past March, and the results were positive. I did send a few adventures over to Doug and Mike (the NTRPG organizers) to support their raffle/fund drive; also, Charnel Crypt of the Sightless Serpent will be...
