An Amber-in-all-but-name Game?

The book will be what the patrons want it to be, and what Jason designs it to be, based on that input. Be patient and wait for Jason's Pitch.

You have waited 17 years a few more weeks is all I ask.

Quote from: steelmax73;372904I don't want to be a nay sayer so early on and will probably be one of the first to give money. but my main concern is that the new game will be more of a amber supplement. I am sure the fear is probably unfounded.

It will not be an Amber supplement. It will be a new game using the ADRPG rules, probably including them in summary for people who haven't played (or don't have access to a copy of) Amber Diceless Roleplaying.

I just get crazy some times

Its ok the excitement level is building and the emotional investment people have in Diceless Roleplaying is understandable. I expect far crazier moments than this.

Look for a press release on Monday.

Quote from: jdurall;372734I will not be doing that, as I think it leads to pigeonholing them. Once you go "Oh... that guy is Thor", it's hard to add nuance to them. I'm hoping that any characters will draw on classic archetypes, but in the same way Zelazny did, in a more subtle fashion, though association and personality traits, playing against the obvious whenever appropriate.

I'm very glad to hear that you are not making a diceless rpg about mythology.

Publishing, 2006), and is currently working with Rite Publishing as the lead editor on The Rituals of Choice Adventure Path.

Jason Rainville will be our Artist. He is the Lead artist on our Coliseum Morpehueon Project and has done covers for both that project and Race for the Crystal Fold you can find his portfollio HERE

Very exciting! Will you post a link to the press release tomorrow?

Also, the third link leads to the same page as the second.

Qwilion · April 18, 2010, 08:19:55 AM

Fixed thanks for pointing it out.

Yes I will be linking to it all across the net.

Jason D · April 18, 2010, 08:35:18 AM

Quote from: Qwilion;374422Fixed thanks for pointing it out.

They're both going to the Darkhanna page.

Qwilion · April 18, 2010, 08:55:45 AM

Fixed for real this time.

ikay · April 18, 2010, 12:50:52 PM

Thanks, it all looks great!

finarvyn · April 18, 2010, 03:00:27 PM

I checked out some of the artists' links and they are pretty good. I hate to build up high hopes too early in a project, but I'm building up high hopes for this project!

Jason D · April 18, 2010, 10:13:27 PM

I turned in a quick blurb for the proposal this morning (and will be working out an outline before too long). We went back and forth a bit on the title, and an announcement should be coming tomorrow without a problem.
