FOR BOTH NEW AND RETURNING AMETHYST PLAYERS!
RULE SYSTEMS BEING SUPPORTED:
4th Edition D&D
D&D Next
13th Age
Fate Core
Pathfinder
Which side will you choose? Which weapons will you wield? Venture into lands once claimed by skyscrapers and factories, now overrun by elves, goblins, and dragons. Ride gracefully on horseback or plow through the wilderness in an armored transport.
Earth is torn between the order of science and the chaos of fantasy. The realm of magic has invaded our world, forcing man into the last few bastions of technology. These two worlds cannot mix. Will you embrace the wonder of legends and myths or accept the reality of refrigerators and washing machines?
For 500 years the planet was locked in stalemate, but no more. The Stones of Amethyst have risen. When brought together, they could decide the future of the planet, cast off the remaining shred of technology, or close off the world of magic forever. Choose your path and commit to the quest. Monsters will hunt you; machines will track you. No gods will help you; no prophecies will choose you. The fate of the world rests with you.
What’s the objective?
It is the singular goal of bringing Amethyst into full-color and introducing it to new and returning players.The end result will have several manifestations, the first being the release of Amethyst-Factions, the next supplement, for both 4th Edition D&D and Pathfinder.The second is a color-reboot of the original sourcebooks. Amethyst Renaissance 2.0 will only be a color-update but Amethyst Compendium will be a complete 4th Edition reboot, including content from both Foundations and Evolution, errata updated.
What’s the goal?
We are looking for $8000, which is all reserved for the production of content, not for the development of the DEM label or to fund other ventures.This will be for digital products only.We’re not sending out USB keys and T-Shirts as those all take away from the money we want to use to produce more Amethyst content.Anyone receiving a PDF as part of a reward will be able to acquire the color premium POD of that same PDF at print cost.
STRETCH GOALS
We have stretch goals in mind, which include...
$10,000: The Amethyst Soundtrack, rewarded to all pledges $20 and above.
$13,000: A new Amethyst Adventure, rewarded to all pledges $40 and above (for all supported systems).
$20,000: Amethyst Shattered, the next full supplement (for all supported systems), rewarded to all pledges 40$ and above.
NEW SYSTEMS
DEM will be supporting a new system with Amethyst as a stretch goal. We are still negotiating if that will be 13th Age or Fate Core. If successful, it will be factored into all rewards $40 and up. We will keep everyone updated.
