Everyone involved in the Dawning Star project has put a lot of effort into its production and the book looks great!

And yes, Indie Press Revolution offers FREE shipping on all orders $25 or more in the U.S. and we have a great selection of RPGs, most which are not available anywhere else. Thank you, Justin, for the kind words!

I just wanted to post this summary given by Silven Crossroads reviewer Nick Mulherin explaining the premise behind Dawning Star: Operation Quick Launch. It is really great!

"Having been forced to evacuate Earth, a shipful of human refugees stumbled across the planet of Eos when they encountered an interstellar gate and were separated from the rest of their convoy. Finding that Eos was roughly similar to Earth, they landed their ship and began settling it, building the city of Dawning Star out of their transport. The city of Dawning Star eventually became the Dawning Star Republic and grew, with dissident elements forming their own settlements (the Faction Camps) elsewhere. Eventually, the refugees came into contact with the Velin (a local race of humans that claim to have been on planet since the dawn of time) and the ancient ruins of a great civilization."

And congrats on the awesome ratings this book got:

CLASS: Supplement
STR: NA (Physical). This score does not apply to PDF products.
DEX: 17 (Organization). Logical, although a trifle spread out.
CON: 16 (Quantity of the Content). Complete, so long as your campaign stays on Eos.
INT: 18 (Quality of Content). Well thought-out and evocative.
WIS: 18 (Options & Adaptability). Supports a variety of styles of play, from Wild West style shoot-em-ups to pulpy trips into ancient ruins. Takes advantage of most options in d20 Future.
CHA: 17 (Look & Feel). Superior design and layout.

For those who haven't seen it, the rest of the review is here.

I just updated the dedicated website with a 1st-level party to download for use with the introductory adventure in the book.

And thanks to everyone who dropped me a line to say how much they have enjoyed DS.

Now, back to work on Helios Rising...

Now, back to work on Helios Rising...

What is that? I don't recall you mentioning that to me before. Does it have anything to do with Dawning Star?

Yes, yes it does.

I had a very tough time not keeping one of the print copies for myself at Saturday's Game Day. That book is sweet!
