November 26th - via: kickstarter.com
If you've been looking at the pledge levels or the updates, you might wonder what it means to be a herald. On the main Kickstarter page, herald pledge levels offer inside access to early versions of the rules for Year of Legends, sneak peeks, and... (Read More)
2 Days Left: Let's Take a Look at Some Feats!
November 25th - via: kickstarter.com

From the Archives of Aitheria Nyx: One or Many
November 24th - via: kickstarter.com
No one is a monolith. We seem to inherently understand this when thinking about ourselves. Our every inconsistent act is justified by circumstance or mood. But we oversimplify others and try to shrink down their expansive multifarious nature into a... (Read More)
From the Archives of Aitheria Nyx: The Sins of the Parent
November 23rd - via: kickstarter.com
How can the gods be just when they look upon mortals in the same way we do ants, expressing their displeasure in disproportionate ways? Those deities who don’t pretend to be knowable or relatable are at least honest. They are alien entities beyond... (Read More)
From the Archives of Aitheria Nyx: As Changeable as the Tides
November 21st - via: kickstarter.com
A person’s mood can be affected by many things: the time of day, the ambient temperature, a lingering cold, whether or not the person has recently eaten a full meal, if they’ve recently had an emotional interaction with a friend or family... (Read More)

Sneak Peak at Animated Tokens
November 17th - via: kickstarter.com
So when I first decided to include animated tokens, I wasn't even sure how many we were going to include per ancestry, what they would look like, or even how they would work. I had the broad strokes worked out, but the details were unknown. But a few... (Read More)
From the Archives of Aitheria Nyx: Carved in Stone
November 14th - via: kickstarter.com
It’s the ultimate vanity of mortalkind that causes us to carve graven likenesses in our own image, leaving them behind for all posterity, until they too are consumed by the sands of time. But not all statuary is a pure exercise in vainglory and... (Read More)
Let The Storm Rage On!
November 8th - via: kickstarter.com
She might not be a storm giant, but the cold probably never bothered her anyway. Working together, we've broken the lightning fetters and unleashed storm giants upon the Year of Legends! Storm giants are one of my personal favorite giants, so I'm... (Read More)
From the Archives of Aitheria Nyx: Sphinxes, Guardians of Stone and Riddle
November 6th - via: kickstarter.com
Most creatures in the world come about from chance and happenstance, stacked a millionfold over untold generations. The little songbird that chirps from the tree branch each morning came about from nothing but accident and evolution. No one sat down... (Read More)

From the Archives of Aitheria Nyx: Devil’s Advocate
November 1st - via: kickstarter.com
Devils, as it turns out, tend to be endlessly clever and conniving and more than loquacious enough not to need someone else to advocate on their behalf. At least, that’s normally the case. But sometimes, their cleverness, scheming, lawyering, and... (Read More)
Design Musings: Angels Above and Devils Below!
October 30th - via: kickstarter.com
Angels are usually messengers for deities and devils have strict roles in Hell's hierarchy, so how do you wind up playing one in your game? I challenged angel author Mikhail Rekun and devil author Jessica Catalan to answer that question, and I think... (Read More)
From the Archives of Aitheria Nyx: Evil Is In the Eye of the Beholder
October 29th - via: kickstarter.com
Some say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but when it comes to our understanding of morality, I feel that the saying applies even more powerfully when it comes to the concepts of good and evil. Every society defines them differently, and... (Read More)

From the Archives of Aitheria Nyx: To Rise and Fall
October 27th - via: kickstarter.com
The structure of society is designed to inculcate obedience and keep people in their place, unthinking cogs in the machine of civilization. And so, many of the terms popular in most cultures glorify compliance and vilify thinking for oneself. So is... (Read More)
