KickTraq

We have less than a day and around $3,000 left to raise. That number hasn't moved much. I'm going for a last-ditch blitz, and I've added a little something to the book to hopefully raise a bit more interest. The new appendix to the book is called... (Read More)

Less than two days to go and slightly less than $3,000 to reach the target. Feeling a little tense over here!   Almost a week away on a work trip doesn't really help with pushing a Kickstarter, so I apologize for that. I honestly had no control over... (Read More)

We have 9 days to go and we need just over $3,000 to fund. That's not a great place to be but it's also not a disaster. There is generally a rush of funds in the last 48 hours, though 60% in two days seems a pretty tough task. I've been pushing for... (Read More)

I have included an FAQ regarding the budget, but I thought I would share it as an update for those who have already pledged and likely won't see the FAQ.This is an abridged version of the wordy FAQ answer (this is why I need an editor) So, if I fund... (Read More)

I posted a preview of the mechanics, and I figure it might be a good idea to showcase the difference between a Standard Attribute and an Action Attribute. Further, it would be a good idea to graphically illustrate the difference between an... (Read More)

This was originally posted at Sword's Edge Publishing The system for Nefertiti Overdrive has been playtested but is still undergoing some minor revisions. The basics, though, are unlikely to change. Here’s a quick explanation of how task resolution... (Read More)

The term scene should be familiar to anyone who has played any of the games I've published through Sword's Edge Publishing. For those who haven't read any of those other games, I define a scene as a set of actions or movements revolving around a... (Read More)

Should our Kickstarter reach $7,000, all backers at the Acolyte of the Scarab level and above will receive Daredevils of the Water Wastes as a PDF. This is an alternate setting for Nefertiti Overdrive, with slightly different character Attributes but... (Read More)

I have now included print copies in the add ons. The savings aren't as good – the books have been reduced by 25% rather than 50% – but this reflects the actual costs of printing and shipping. I'm making a little more off print than PDF, but not... (Read More)

I've added Add Ons to the Kickstarter page. If you are interested in getting the PDFs for Sword Noir, Kiss My Axe, or Centurion, here is a chance to get any of those for half-price. Include the cost listed on the Kickstarter page to your pledge, then... (Read More)

A one-pager provides ideas and an outline of the adventure, but does not include maps or much information beyond generalities. The adventures included in the Nefertiti Overdrive book will not be in this format, but will have a collection of... (Read More)

There's a new Kickstarter around and, if you've always wanted to punch faces in ancient Egypt, it might be for you. Nefertiti Overdrive by Sword's Edge Publishing -- whose previous titles include Kiss My Axe and Sword Noir -- is a cinematic RPG set in a totally unhistorical ancient Egypt where the focus seems to be on being and doing awesome. But does its Kickstarter page live up to this awesome? We'll see right after these messages (about the game and its setting). (Read More)

We are at 23%, which is awesome, but not as awesome as 30% and nowhere near as fantastic as 100%. I'll keep pushing and I hope you will also.  There's a great discussion going on at RPG.net, talking about the proper use of the term wuxia (I admit to... (Read More)

If you've downloaded the preview characters (the link is in Update #1, available only to backers) you will have seen that each character has an alternate of the opposite gender. Sometimes, the name has been changed (from Princess to Priest),... (Read More)

You can hear me talk about Nefertiti Overdrive - among other topics - on the Tell Me Another podcast. While you are there, check out the other episodes with some other fantastic storytellers, many of whom I'm sure you've heard.  (Read More)
