Since we are now in the proofing stage I thought I would show this here.

Magnifico!

That's just great. I'm so glad you did the kickstarter for the artwork.

Is there still time to increase the financial sum of patronage?

I'm pretty sure Steve will be along to mention ways to increase patronage.

I'd just like to reiterate that the art for this book is uniformly awesome. Jason Rainville has provided some amazing work. Having him as the sole artist makes for a superlative visual consistency throughout.

Yes you can still become a backer through our website (via paypal)

I stand corrected... there are a few other artists involved, but they've been all awesome. I think the visual standard will still be extremely high-quality.

Wow. The game looks incredible.

I've never played Amber nor any of its descendants. With most of my gaming these days being one-on-one, is it possible to effectively play LoGaS?

Thank you

Yes you can run a two person game, GM and Player, Otherwise you might try the Google+ group for Lords of Gossamer and shadow as they run it via Google Hangout (since it does not need dice its really easy to do it via video chat).

It is not only possible, it's actually pretty easy.

Instead of an Attribute Auction, just let the player spend the points they'd like and determine actual Ranks based on the GM's NPCs. Or just use points... some people prefer to do it that way.

Otherwise, just run it as you would any other one-on-one game.

The only warning I'd provide is that it can be more demanding from the GM than other one-on-one games, as the player has some amazing powers and can pretty much run riot throughout the universe. It's always good to do a lot more asking than telling, in such cases.

Steve and Jason, thanks for the responses. The game just went on my Christmas wish list.

I'm not a big fan of the idea of single-player gaming in general, but as for the other point, any Amber-influenced game (be it Amber, LoGaS, or LoO) works far better than most for online-sessions.

Got my LoGaS hardback rulebook the other day in the mail. Very slick. :-)
