    #RPGaDAY2018 Day 5!

    ByEd Jowett August 5, 2018August 1, 2018

    Hi everyone! Day 5 asked probably the easiest question this month (for me): (What is your) Favourite recurring NPC? Keelah. Okay, I cheated a little, she began as a player character – my first one, as a matter of fact. Her backstory and character became a lot more refined when she became the Unit Commander…

    #RPGaDAY2018 Day 4!

    ByEd Jowett August 4, 2018August 1, 2018

    Hi everyone! Day 4 asks: (What is your) Most Memorable NPC? That’s actually a really tricky one. There have been some real characters over the years. I think, however, that there’s no measuring up to Monolith on this score. The wingbeat of this character shapeshifted into a giant dragon has scared Empowered senseless more times…

    Hi everyone! We’re still working through the remaining images at the moment, so the “only” thing I have to show you is the latest awesome artwork from Keith! The text is now completely finalised, but the artwork, as I said, is taking a little longer than we had initially hoped to get it looking amazing. I’d…

    ByEd Jowett August 3, 2018August 1, 2018

    Hi everyone! Onto the third day, and we have: What gives a game staying power? I think that staying power stems from adaptability within a game. Eventually, all groups tire of playing exactly the same thing every time. I think if you want a game to stay, you need to have the adaptability that you see…

Although they only join the Chosen in Harbour City in the second era of the war, they have been fighting the Anonassi for generations. Even exiled from their homeland, they had no intention of stopping and it was inevitable they would eventually run into…

They float, unnoticed, against the grey skies of the Lost Lands, waiting and silent… waiting for their chance to swoop down on the Chosen and consume them. They live to eat…
