Kickstarter [Legendary Games] LEGENDARY PLANET Kickstarter at 500% and counting!

The dynamic duo of Neil Spicer and Mike Shel recently sat down (virtually speaking) with Paco Jaen of GMS Magazine for a podcast interview about your favorite sword and planet adventure path.

Thanks to Coredump and Transformer for hopping in to explain. They certainly described the path pretty succinctly. The "sword and planet" theme is essentially a fantasy style game but set on exotic alien planets, with elements of sci-fi added for flavor. It's not the kind of glossy or high-tech sci-fi of a Star Trek or most of the Star Wars universe, although some parts of the grungy backwater worlds like Tatooine or the more pastoral or fantastic worlds like Naboo could fit. The archetypal example of sword and planet is the Barsoom stories of Edgar Rice Burroughs. Technology exists, but it's exotic in much the same way magic items are in a typical D&D campaign. They exist and people know about them and have probably seen them, but most common folks would have never actually held one in their hands.

We have a very experienced team of authors, artists, cartographers, and layout people on this project, all of whom are current or former employees or freelancers with Wizards of the Coast and/or Paizo (as well as other leading 3PPs like Kobold Press, Frog God Games, etc.). This is Legendary Games' third Kickstarter, and our first two were not only successful campaigns but also delivered earlier than the projected completion date, producing four hardbacks totaling over 1200 pages. We're no strangers to ambitious projects and producing high quality products, and our track record should give you confidence in our ability to deliver.

Transformer also raises a good point with the fact that this project is essentially a PDF subscription building up to the final compilation, so should any problems arise along the way, we'll have ample time to recognize them and deal with them before we go final with our print compilation.

In short, I hope you give Legendary Planet a shot, and even if it's not your cup of tea help spread the word to help us create a fantastic adventure saga!

As we stand on the cusp of unlocking our next adventure, author Steve Helt wants to talk to YOU about the Depths of Desperation! If you head over to our Facebook eventhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1844150692476843/, you can ask him a question about the adventure and every day he'll answer!

With now exactly two weeks left in our Kickstarter project, we wanted to fan the flames a bit by revealing some of the awesome stretch goals we have coming for you! Some are based on dollars, of course, but some are based on the total number of backers, regardless of total dollars. Without further ado, let us begin with today's new goal:

300 backers: We are creating a Legendary Planet Player's Guide! With information on character classes and races in the Legendary Worlds setting, as well as insights on religion and equipment, this resource will be invaluable with your players. Written by the Legendary team of Neil Spicer, Alex Augunas, and Will McCardell, the Player's Guide will be going on sale when it's ready, but if we hit 300 backers then all Kickstarter backers $15 and above get the Player's Guide FREE!

Tomorrow, we'll start talking about some of the special guest authors we have lined up for our bonus articles in the AP. We've already got Sean K Reynolds, Erik Mona, Chris A. Jackson, and the Sasquatch Design Studio of Rich Baker, Dave Noonan, and Stephen Schubert on the project, but we've got even more terrific folks on tap ready to bring the awesome to Legendary Planet! Continue to spread the word and let's get this project climbing towards a fantastic finish!

Speaking of finished, by the way, we are also delighted to report that the final tweaks are being made to the layout in The Assimilation Strain prequel, and we'll be sending it off to print today so we'll have it in time for GenCon at booth 2639!

Lastly, I just wanted to share a magnificent bit of artwork from our dear friend Michal Matczak, depicting one of the most harrowing encounters you're likely to face in the desperate breakout that begins To Worlds Unknown!

Head over to our latest Kickstarter update and see what NOT to do when the elevator gets stuck in between floors. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/legendarygames/legendary-planet-adventure-path/posts/1292780
