Designer Diary: October

It feels nice to be focused primarily on game development once again. While crowdfunding fulfillment is obviously very important, it's not the part of running a gaming company that keeps me coming back year after year.

Three products sit on our agenda between now and the end of the year. The first two are November's and December's Patreon releases (one for Shadows Over Sol 2e and the other for Age of Ambition). The final product, however, is the big one: our first big expansion for Shadows Over Sol 2e, a campaign-length supplement on Mars!

Expect it to crowdfund sometime next year. Also expect an official release announcement with the Kickstarter landing page sometime in the next week or two.

So what will this supplement contain? This is what we plan:

  • A deeper look at Mars, including a gazetteer of locations, prominent NPCs and factions.
  • More detail on the Mars Terraforming Project and Stillwater Church.
  • New player character options, including additional genelines, subcultures and gear.
  • A GM option for introducing the paranormal into the Dark Future of Shadows Over Sol.
  • A short campaign of four or five loosely linked scenarios set on Mars. These will be a mix of new missions and ones updated from 1e.

Thank you so much for your continued support! Good gaming, everyone!
