Your Offerings and Oaths Please Me

In exchange, I bring you more goodies from the gulfs at the End of Time!

Click here to get your downloadable version of the Swords & Chaos character sheet, designed by the Arcane Explorer himself—Lithodora of the Many Spheres. Oh, and for those of you who prefer to game on the Ethereal plane rather than in reality, fret not! A form-fillable version of the character sheet is currently in the works.

In other news, here's some exciting new art by Carlos Castilho!

Blessing of Shellg Bul’rokksh—Prince of the Elemental Sea
The Laughing Mage's Extradimensional Labyrinth

Pretty slick, eh?

I look forward to seeing the very first characters of Swords & Chaos, now that character sheets are available. In the meantime, however there's much to do! Mostly editing, editing editing! The feedback we've received on the preview was very positive, and one thing was made abundantly clear: We need to do more proofreading. To that end, we've amassed a small assortment of readers to go through our stuff and ensure that nothing is missing, unclear, or erroneous. 

By the time you've read this, less than 10 days remain on this campaign... We're closing in on the final stretch lads!

Hark, One and All!

I am beyond pleased with our progress thus far. We are halfway through with our march to the ends of the Earth, and already we have conquered so much. As a result, I feel it is only reasonable I reward your herculean efforts. Indeed, I come bearing gifts long promised! A preview of the first 46 pages of Swords & Chaos. Yes, you read that right—46 pages of content!


Here you go. Dive right in!

Swords & Chaos Preview 

Please note that this preview may not be representative of the final revision of Swords & Chaos, and alterations could occur between now and print publication.


Additionally, I humbly present an interview we just conducted with the indispensable monk Mildra over on YouTube, which you can find that this link:  CLICK HERE  


As a parting note, I would ask you to continue to pound the drums and ring the gongs of Swords & Chaos and tell all those who know the esoteric art of tabletop roleplaying of our game. Spread the word and make the arrival of the dread tome known. Bring us more followers, and let their pledges be cast before the dark Lords of Chaos!


All flowery prose aside, thank you all for your tremendous support. This has been a life-changing opportunity for me, and no matter how I try, words fail to sufficiently express my gratitude. 


Exhaustedly Yours,


-J

Some Preview Spreads!

Hark, rogues and lords alike! 

I bring good tidings from the fiery pits of Blackspire Fantasy LLC! It seems that the Lords of Chaos are mighty pleased with our offerings, and have agreed to spare us for the time being.


This is good.


Doubly so, because it means I can share with you these 2-page spreads from Swords & Chaos. One of these you may have seen before, but the others should be new to you.

Now, to the more important matter! Proper previews! We're going through a series of final corrections on two of our character classes (the knight and the barbarian), as our final round of playtests proved that they were outclassed by the fighter at the highest level of play. Once these are completed and approved, they'll be sent for an updated layout, and we'll begin assembling some pdf previews! 


While we work at that, you should keep doing whatever it is that you're doing that's making this project such a success! If you haven't done so already, tell your friends about the game and encourage them to grab a copy! Hell, even just planting that seed in their mind is a good start. Spread the grim gospel! 


Pledge your allegiance to Swords & Chaos!

Consider me speechless.

By the Winged things of the Void Between Stars!

You lot are absolute animals, and I'm truly blessed for it. Our bog-dwelling moneylender of an accountant has counted and recounted the gold, and has just informed me that we've already met our goal. Color me impressed! We're only a day into this bloody campaign, and we've FAR exceeded my wildest expectations.


In exchange, I offer a humble 'Thank you,' for all the incredible support.  


What? Err... No, I suppose you're right. A paltry 'Thank you,' is far from sufficient. 

This is worthy of a truly KINGLY reward. I'll arrange for a preview of the game to be put together as quickly as can be managed, so that all you hungry devils can have something to gnaw on for a while.


In the meanwhile, I have a task for each and every one of you... Spread the word of Swords & Chaos. Sing its name from the highest mountaintops, from the deepest vales, and the darkest dungeons. Ring the gongs in the houses of the dancers and the winemakers. Rouse everyone—mendicant and princeling alike—so that they might hear the glory of this new game! Tell them of this age of high adventure, and point them to our encampment, here on Kickstarter. Hunt down those who might be sympathetic to our cause! Recruit them! Leave no stone unturned!
