Thank you for helping make this project a reality!One of the questions we’ve gotten about Reign of Discordia is what kind of post-release support this is likely to receive.This is a fair question, particularly since many publishers release a setting, you buy it, and then you never hear another thing from that publisher about that setting again. It’s happened to me more than once and I personally find it annoying. You can always create your own material, but sometimes you need the additional in-setting inspiration, sometimes you lack the time to prepare original material, and sometimes you simply want more information about a given topic, location, or individual. Aside from that, there are questions of canon after all! I mean how comfortable are you with one table’s version of something being completely different than your own?One of the things that will be different about Reign of Discordia is that this is not a “fire and forget” product. The plan right now is to continue development long after the Kickstarter products are fulfilled and support it with relatively short, focused products with a low price point that each cover a specific topic, a place, or present you with a scenario you can run. The first edition of the setting had a few support products: an adventure called “Virus,” another adventure called “Salvage Run,” an expansion that introduced the Angari species, and a rules supplement that helped further flesh out starship combat called “Death in the Starlit Expanse.” The plan was for it to continue indefinitely, but that was when the original publisher pulled the plug. As the creator and publisher of this edition of the setting, I can help it grow and thrive.Many of the ideas and setting material that appeared in the Angari book and Death in the Starlit Expanse are going to be incorporated into the new core book. That said, there is a ton of real-estate to explore in later supplements. There are questions one would naturally ask about this setting, such as what’s outside of “known space?” What are some of the systems and planets within known space that didn’t make the core book? What are the internal structures within the various organizations like? In time, I’d like to answer many of these questions. I’d also like to see more fiction for the setting. The first novel, called Neurogenesis was released at roughly this time a year ago. Some of you have chosen to receive this novel as part of your rewards. There are a couple sequels rattling around in my brain, and one day soon I’d like to sit down and start writing them.That’s our update for the beginning of the second week of this Kickstarter. Keep your eyes on this space for more news as it becomes available.</blockquote>
