Production Update July 12th: "A" for Effort
almost 5 years ago – Fri, Jul 12, 2019 at 07:39:35 PM

ABRE

Just a quick update and milestone to note:

  • Completed laying out "A" monsters (111x)
  • Volume I 42% complete
  • ABRE 7% complete overall 
  • Total 314 pages to date

MOA

  • My all-time favorite color portrait artist is back online and has agreed to start churning out artwork for MOA's custom monsters.
  • Many of the full-color, non-digital illustrations that I've shared to date have come from her, and they're the images that have garnered the most positive feedback, so I'm thrilled to have her back on board with the project!
  • I will continue to ask her to produce additional illustrations for MOA until its eventual publication.  From an optimistic standpoint, this means that the longer it takes to complete, the better the finished product will be :)

Onward! 

Publication Day: Druid Enclave for 5E (& Prior Lives KS plug :)
almost 5 years ago – Fri, Jul 05, 2019 at 09:05:41 AM


Druid Enclave 5E Published

Huzzah! The Fifth Edition version of Druid Enclave has been published.  Those of you entitled to this edition should now have a message from DriveThruRPG in your inbox advising as to your complimentary title.  Hardcopy fulfillment orders to commence soon for those entitled.  

DE 5E Discount Codes

If you aren't already entitled to a hardcopy of Druid Enclave, and would like one in 5E format, feel free to use this link to receive a discount off of full retail prices.

Prior Lives KS

A quick plug for those interested: with DE completed, I've launched a Kickstarter for the next product in the extended pipeline: Prior Lives.  It's a set of comprehensive time-travel rules for any campaign setting, and dozens of standalone adventures exploring the formative backstories of beloved NPCs from the Realm of Aquilae (including Druid Enclave).  As with all of my projects, this one will be added to the tail of the pipeline, so it does not impact existing timelines, estimates, or commitments; it just allows me to plan out the content and artwork well in advance.  Check it out here!
Onward! 

Production Update July 3rd: Layout Started!
almost 5 years ago – Wed, Jul 03, 2019 at 02:24:07 PM

The journey of 4,800 pages begins with a single beast.  Layout for Aquilae: Bestiary of the Realm has begun at last!  I spent most of the last few days finalizing the layout, badges, and other elements, and it's now underway.  Already through a dozen monsters.  

Thanks again for your patience, and I cannot wait to churn through this work!

Onward!

Publication Day: Druid Enclave Pathfinder Edition, Atlas, and Players' Guide; DO2 Discounts
almost 5 years ago – Thu, Jun 27, 2019 at 09:07:37 AM

 Druid Enclave Publication Day!

Check out the newly-released 318-page Atlas, the 200-page Players' Guide, and the 840-page Adventure Book.  At 1,358 pages, I believe it counts as the second-largest adventure ever published... right behind IGS' own DO2.  The Atlas and Players' Guide are both unisystem.  The 5E edition of the Adventure Book has been completed and submitted to publisher for review; publication of that edition should be in July.

As a backer of one or more of IGS Kickstarter projects, you're entitled to all Players' Guide PDFs that we release.  You should have received a complimentary copy from DriveThruRPG; please message me if you did not yet receive it and would like a free copy.

New DO2 Discounted Prices

Druid Enclave ties heavily in to the events of Dark Obelisk 2: The Mondarian Elective.  The two can be used together, in any order, or entirely separately.  In celebration of the release of Druid Enclave, I'm excited to announce discounted prices for Dark Obelisk 2.

DO2 Adventure Book PDF: Was $70; now $40

DO2 Adventure Book Hardcover: Was $120; now $90

On top of the discounted prices for DO2, please check out the IGS Kickstarter Discounts page for discount links to reduce the prices even more for DE, DO2, and their accessories (PG/Atlas).


Onward!
