Hey Backers!

If you noticed, we hit the 10k goal yesterday!!  Which means the 13th age PDF Companion is unlocked and every pdf backer gets two free PDF companions of their choice.I spent the day trying to figure out how to incorporate 'all systems' for backers and came up with the following two rewards

Forlorn Gentleman ($30)  

  • Name in credits
  • Embers PDF
  • All PDF Companions

Forlorn Esquire ($60)

  • Name in credits
  • Embers PDF
  • Print Embers
  • All PDF Companions

All backers above $60 will receive all PDF companions

I've also changed the Forlorn Knight (immortalize your family emblem) down to $100



Also here are the sketches and color of our our Fairy Queen

 

 

Character and creature art

Hey Backers!!
I apologize for the few days of silence. I was traveling back home to visit and there have been several birthdays this week all consuming my evenings. But alas I have returned.

As a reminder to our new and old backers we have unlocked PDF statbooks for the following systems D&D 5th Edition, Pathfinder, Shadow of the Demon Lord & OSR 
(anyone who receives a pdf, first one is free and any additional system is a $5 addon)

In other great news, we got Kickstarter Staff Picked (which is now called Projects We Love). This will be a great boost to our visibility on kickstarter for the remainder of the campaign.

And finally onto the art.

When we started this project, I had really let the artist go free with inspiration and ideas, and he came up with some amazing things. My design by far has been Ceidwen, and so we just had to get more art of her (just some inks)

Below you will also see a new addition to the family, the Faerie Queen, as well as a preview mockup of the book layout (this is alpha layout, so many things can still change, for instance im still not sold on the character title yet)

 And finally another show-off inks of the Boar Gladiator Guto

 Keep up the momentum everybody!!
We'll have more to share soon!
Andreas
