D&D 5E The 600-page Aegis of Empires Adventure Path Kickstarter - 300% funded and FREE bonus adventures!

[BenTheFerg]

If you missed our Aegis of Empires Adventure Path Kickstarter last month, fear not - Backerkit is HERE! You now can order this incredible 600-page adventure path for Pathfinder 1st or 2nd Edition or for DnD 5E (or any combination of systems), in PDF or glorious print, plus tons of great add-on items like the Art and Map Compendium, Greg's Design Journal, add-on supplements like the Gothic Campaign Compendium or Fates of Madness horror card game, and more!

Preorders end July 31, so don't delay and please share the link with any of your gamer friends who might be interested in an incredible adventure saga by the likes of Greg Vaughan, Matt Goodall, Jeff Swank, Alistair Rigg, Steve Helt, Tom Knauss, Anthony Pryor, and an army of awesome artists who make this fantastic horror-tinged Lost Lands adventure saga truly sing!

Are you using Drivethru or traditional printing out of interest?
It is not clear from the Backerkit. I am on the $5 level waiting on this info!

Another question:
Will you be printing 6 books of 100pages or 1 big book of 600 pages? I ask since binding a 600 page book could be tricky and expensive!

Sorry I didn't see this post earlier. Kickstarter print backers will be getting a single 600ish page hardcover volume for their chosen system.

We will have individual adventures available as softcover print-on-demand, because there's really no reason not to sell them that way for people who prefer to buy adventures one at a time or who end up learning about them at some later time, long after the Kickstarter is a memory. For some people paying $100 for a book, no matter how good, is a bit of a psychological barrier, and they might well spend more buying individual softcovers than they would for buying the single big book all at once, because it feels like spending less if they buy it a bit at a time. Sales psychology is an odd thing, but we're happy to provide products in as many different ways as we can.

We're also working to get things uploaded to Fantasy Grounds. It's going to take a bit, as these are big adventures, but it's in process!

And are you using Drivethru to print and deliver making postage affordable for international buyers?

We are definitely doing DTRPG print-on-demand for the Pathfinder 1st and 2nd Ed versions. Full stop.

Depending on the response in Backerkit, we might end up doing a print run after all for the 5E version. It's close enough to the tipping point that a strong Backerkit response might push us over the edge to where it makes more sense to buy a full run.

That said, for anyone who prefers a POD version of the 5E book to save on international shipping, we're happy to send theirs that way rather than one of the offset print run (if we do go that route).

Yep. See above.

My hero!

Legendary Games have always produced great products. And there has been a gaping hole in terms of a top drawer premium campaign arc not existing in the market. Looking forward to reading the dead tree edition when it is ready. Good luck with the writing and logistics!
