EnWorld Reviews The Slumbering Tsar Saga

Steel_Wind reviews The Slumbering Tsar Saga on EnWorld: "Gamers being gamers, it's not as if many of us have not talked about doing something like this, or marveled about how cool it would be to be able to buy something as large and detailed as The Slumbering Tsar Saga. But to make the transition from wishing and speculation to actually doing it? To date, the only person crazy enough to do that is Greg Vaughan. " Read the entire review here: EnWorld.

Rappan Athuk News!!!

May 4 2012 Rappan Athuk News

We have exceeded $45k, and the frogs are very happy with their fans. In response to this, if we get to the $80k mark, we are adding a Players Guide to Rappan Athuk to make up for our fubar on shipping rates. This book will be a softcover module for your players, describing the wilderness, the town of Zelkor's Ferry, and several short bits of wisdom from grizzled and often mained or legless veteran's in the town. We are also looking at a few other goodies that we may be able to afford, thanks to all of you.

Keep sending feedback of what it is you want us to add to the mix, and thank you again for making this a total success!

Battle Mat Update

The battle mat for the kickstarter project will be a double sided 22" x 17" laminated board for dry erase. One side will have the graveyard and the other side will have our Frog God Games logo and the Ocrus Logo with a plain 1" grid. The board will be scored to fold in quarters so it is the size of a piece of paper.

Whoo Hoo!!! We hit bonus goal number 1!!!!

I have asked Blond Frog to add a few new levels of rewards, and am sweetening the deal on  on some of the existing levels, as well as adding bonus items for hitting the bonus goals (+minor cost since we can't change existing reward levels).

I think we can set an RPG Record!! Thank you all again for the amazing support!

I just woke up and wanted to check in. We are almost at bonus goal #1! Updates coming soon on shipping info, added bonus material and a new level or two!

May 3, update

Wow...I have no idea even what to say. Here I was, at a school board meeting, and I came home and looked.

What I do know is that we need to sweeten the deal a bit at the $500 level, and that the $3k prizes need to include a copy of Reloaded. I am really hoping folks will take me up on the Convention Trip Offer. Heck; I hope someone gets 8 folks together and buys the $10k item. Please add feedback on how I could sweeten that deal.
I love meeting new gamers; and Greg is dying to make me learn how to play Pathfinder (running a SW game for 2 days is right up my alley). What if I did iconic character sheets for the 8 players and put them out where the buyer got to name the PCs? Oh, and if we hit the $80k mark, EVERYONE gets a copy of YOUR Characters as a bonus! Eternal Fame for your named PCs!

I'll update the site tomorrow on the $500 level, and possibly add a 2 books no frills level between $250 and $500 (maybe $375--2 books, 2 modules?). I also need to add a perk to the $100 level if we crack $80k, and it looks like I might have to add a $100k level.

Lots of questions on shipping. Shipping will be billed as a separate item, it can be combined with several other books (please order normally from the site--don't pay postage, and email me that you want combined shipping WHEN I send the shipping bill--not before). The reason I do this is that from a shipping standpoint, I can minimize errors by printing automated labels from paypal with your info on it (just like we are doing for Tsar). I can likely fit 3 RA's in one large box easily--or 2 RA's and a Tsar (hint, hint--we still have about 120 signed, numbered Tsar's left--and yes Tsar is related to RA).

You guys have made the frogs really happy. I am overwhelmed by the support, and reminded again of why we do this. The confidence that you all showed on first Slumbering Tsar and now this effort makes me well up. Tabletop and old school gaming is NOT dead.

I will start my Lisa-letters very soon. Matt and I both have  a few bonus levels to write, and Team Frog has a ton to do before Dallas. Thank you all!

May 3, 2012 update

You guys ROCK!!! Over $8k in 1.5 hours. I am just speechless. Let's see if we can be the largest kickstart for a D&D product! 50+ levels of old school dungeon goodness! The megadungeon of Megadungeons!

May 3rd - Kickstarter Launch

Rappan Athuk's kickstarter went live a few minutes ago. This will be an epic release of an epic product. The new material represents the last 10 years of play in my home campaign, and I think all of you will truly enjoy this book. Wait until you see my treatment of that will-o-the-wisp on level 12B!

This faux-leather bound book will be textbook stitched for durability. I am really proud of this thing, and I want to thank Ron Hawkins of Reaper Miniatures for partnering on the project with me. I'll post more later--frankly I am just in awe of what the response has been so far:)
