Greetings to the Twelve! As shepherd of the ever-growing setting of The Dark Eye RPG, it is my privilege to see all the great material heading your way. This month I would like to give you a preview of NPC Card Set 1: Travel & Trade, an upcoming release in our popular series of reference card sets.
We are proud to announce the official English-Language Scriptorium Aventuris, the Community-Created Content program for The Dark Eye! This is a parallel to the German program, where fans have already created nearly 200 titles over the last year!
In just two days, the 50th Gen Con will officially begin, and it promises to be the most amazing one ever! Badges are entirely sold out, and the convention has expanded so much that it has even taken over Lucas Oil Stadium!
With so many people there, we definitely hope to see many of our fans who follow us on social media, read our website, and talk on our forums. Because you are special to us, we wanted to give you early warning on a few Gen Con special deals and limited offers.
We have occasionally heard that it can be difficult to find The Dark Eye products to purchase, and we want to make that easier! So today we are presenting two ways you can get The Dark Eye delivered directly to you!
We could keep preaching about all the wonders of the Warring Kingdoms Sourcebook, but we'd never be able to give you a complete picture of everything that's in it. So today we're going to do something as close to that as possible - we're going to show you the Table of Contents.
Setting the mood is important for every story and in a lot of media, be it computer games or movies, a good soundtrack can be crucial. We know a lot you are already using music in their tabletop roleplaying as well. To help you doing that we created a soundtrack custom made to set the mood for the Warring Kingdoms.
Among the many stretch goals we've unlocked this week for the Warring Kingdoms Kickstarter was The Andergastan, an 80-page hardcover graphic novel. It is added free to all "Collection" pledge levels, or it is available separately as a $25 add-on.
The Warring Kingdoms, Nostria and Andergast, and their eternal strife are not at the center of Aventurian politics or the continent. They are their own corner of the continent on the border of the Middenrealm and the more wild cultures of the North like the Orcs and the raiders of Thorwal. Their hate grew in this isolation. Nostria has more contact with the rest of Aventuria, operating trading ports, but Andergast is even more remote inland and covered with deep woods. This shows in their cultural differences - Nostria strives to be recognized by the rest of Aventuria, claiming impressive sounding noble titles and imitating fashion trends years beyond their time in bigger countries, while Andergast clings to druidic worship and their unusual patriarchy, a culture uncommon in the rest of Aventuria and foreign to their human neighbors.
