ICV2 had this up this morning. I knew Space Battleship Yamato (known in the US as Starblazers) was popular, but had no idea they were re-doing it. The clip below is in Japanese, but wow... just... wow...

Kickstarter Bonus Reward!
Posted on 15:10 by rajrani
Well, we've got a week and a half to go, and the pledges keep coming in. Here's something that will hopefully stir up a little more interest for those who haven't yet pulled the ol' pledge trigger.
If we pass the $3,500 mark, each and every person who pledged $10 or more will also receive a pdf adventure module specifically designed to highlight the various character classes in the book and how they can be used in an urban, wilderness, and dungeon environment. The adventure, to be written by the same Humble Author who wrote "A Curious Volume of Forgotten Lore", will feature examples for game masters to help their players get the most out of the various character classes in the book.
Tell your friends, tell your fellow players! And thanks again to everyone who has already pledged.

Mapping Beyond the Flanaess: The Celestial Sea
Posted on 08:20 by rajrani
As promised, yet another in my series of Darlene-style maps that take things on Oerth beyond the confines of the Flanaess. This time, we see the Celestial Sea, southern Suhfang, the Isle of Dragons, and Erypt. This brings most of the lands of the Celestial Imperium into view, with only a few of the westernmost provinces and border marches left to do. I also touched up the Zindia/Golden Jungle map based on decisions made doing this one. As always, click to embiggen, but even larger versions of the maps are available off to the right in the Free Downloads section. Here are four of the five maps put together to get the whole effect...

DexCon 15 Registration Now Open!
Posted on 11:40 by rajrani
Pre-registration and GM event registration for one of my regular conventions has just opened. DexCon, held in beautiful Morristown, NJ, will run from July 4th through the 8th of this year. It's a wonderfully eclectic mix of board games, RPGs (with an emphasis on indie RPGs), miniatures wargames, video games, and LARPs. It's held in a really terrific hotel, right in the middle of town, with easy access to a tremendous array of great restaurants. I can't recommend this convention highly enough.
This year, I've submitted the following events:
This year, I've submitted the following events:
- Ogre Miniatures ("Operation Shockhammer")
- AD&D 1st Edition / Adventures Dark and Deep ("Temple of the Old Ones" - a new adventure)

Egyptian pyramids found by infra-red satellite images
Posted on 08:08 by rajrani
From the BBC:
Seventeen lost pyramids are among the buildings identified in a new satellite survey of Egypt.I think it is so cool that there are still so much history that is still left to be discovered. I mean, entire pyramids!
More than 1,000 tombs and 3,000 ancient settlements were also revealed by looking at infra-red images which show up underground buildings.
Initial excavations have already confirmed some of the findings, including two suspected pyramids.

Kickstarter Update - We Made It!
Posted on 19:20 by rajrani
I am most pleased to report that the kickstarter campaign for Adventures Dark and Deep™: A Curious Volume of Forgotten Lore has reached its goal! No joke.
YAY!
An announcement regarding further incentives to take us past the initial $2,500 level will be coming out in a day or three. But I want to thank each and every person who made a pledge to see this project come alive, and encourage everyone to tell your friends who might be interested to back it. It really means everything to me that you all had enough faith in me and the project to see it become a reality.
Thank you all.
