This campaign starts in the fabled city of Mtol Daerine, the largest and most cosmopolitan city in all of Saemyyr. “Peacemaker” will be an epic tale of murder, mystery, intrigue, betrayal and truth. The story starts at the Citadel of the Brotherhood in the metropolis of Mtol Daerine, two miles above the deep desert floor, and home to some three million souls from every corner of Saemyyr. The story begins at 5th level. At least one of you must play a Brotherhood Adept (from any Order), at least one thief, preferably one person (could be the thief) with some fighter levels, and someone (anyone) will eventually need to take *at least* one level in any Mentalist (psionicist) class. The story begins as a who-done-it murder mystery inside the Citadel and eventually takes on a world spanning quest, learning some of the inner secrets of the Brotherhood, having an encounter with a mysterious organization referred to as “The Black Brotherhood”, and peering behind the layers of realities, interacting with the technologies of the ancients, and meeting the gods themselves in the form of The Thirteen. The campaign will be travel and story intensive and feature lots of interactions with different factions, NPCs, and mysteries. All of you will even have hidden agendas of your own….. I expect this saga to go from 5th to maybe 15th+ level and would also probably take about a year depending on frequency of play, etc.
Dear Friends, Our Kickstarter is 100% funded. Thanks to the awesome support of the wonderful Pathfinder community we've made it! There's still time left! With less than 48 hours left this is your last chance to get soon to be rare signed and numbered copies and to possibly qualify for unique Limited Edition versions of our first two supplements. This is a rare opportunity for gaming collectors and enthusiasts, so act now while the fundraising is still open! You can check out our project and what we're offering here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shadowlands/shadowlands-adventure-game- campaign-setting/posts/143075 Be sure and watch our video! http://kck.st/qOP9Re Thank you all for your amazing support and making this campaign world possible! We hope to not disappoint you and give you many years of future awesome products! Best wishes, Chris Merwin Chief World Builder, BlackStar Studios
Imagine a fantasy gaming world as rigorously realistic as ours, replete with dark, gritty, manipulative personalities and cultures. Now add to that an enormous ancient world and "magic" that is more based on a hard sci-fi mashup than fantasy hand-waving. Players interface with ancient technologies, navigate byzantine layers of intrigue and may just survive long enough to achieve the power of the Old Gods themselves. It all starts with TWO books, a map folio, a world map and with as little as $10 you will be welcome to The Shadowlands! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shadowlands/shadowlands-adventure-game- campaign-setting This is the last weekend to get the special Kickstarter editions and become part of BlackStar Studios and the birth of the newest Pathfinder/3.5 game setting!
BlackStar Studios invites any and all interested gamers, science-fiction and fantasy enthusiasts, or RPG industry professionals to our One-Year Anniversary & Fundraising party on Sunday, October 23rd Soho Gallery for Digital Art, 138 Sullivan St, New York, NY from 6:30-9:00 PM. The party will include wine & cheese, and the chance to meet and talk with members of the development team. As a NYC-based publisher we are creating a fantasy and sci-fi gaming world based in real-world history, realism, and the natural and social sciences. The Shadowlands emphasizes these sciences in every aspect of development, in world-building, art, and writing of adventure modules. The fundraising is for the upcoming release of two books: Tarina Guidebook and The Gates of Tarina. These books represent the first products of the Shadowlands Campaign Setting and product line. Following the pattern of Pathfinder RPG’s default setting, Golarion, these first products detail only one small part of the Shadowlands world, with other regions to be the focus of future publications. The launch of Shadowlands marks the climax of over 15 years of world-building. Designers include experts in physics, linguistics, military intelligence, sociology, philosophy, and a host of other disciplines. Industry writers on the project include Stephen DiPesa (White Wolf) and Jaye Sonia (Rhune, Open Design, Kobold Quarterly). Also contributing are industry artists Ben Wootten (Wizards of the Coast, Paizo), Jonathan Roberts (Fantastic Maps), Michael Arrington (Acacia Games), John Cason, and lead artist Ambrose H. Hoilman. We ask only that you consider making a small donation, if you haven't already, to our Kickstarter and that you help us by spreading the word to other gamers, sci-fi & fantasy lovers, & RPG professionals. We can only bring our World to life through your help and asking you to join us for our One-Year celebration is the least we can do to express our thanks! Looking forward to seeing and personally thanking you all! Kickstarter: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shadowlands/shadowlands-adventure-game- campaign-setting Chris Merwin,
