Would love to hear what you think of it! Definitely has a different take than the standard D&D/PF type setting; guessing there'd be some sorta sidebar on advice like how to crossover both worlds and stuff? ;) You got it! Apocalypse the Risen is a stand-alone campaign setting, but technically the races, classes, monsters, etc would be able to crossover to any other campaign setting, as they are fully compatible with either system.
Latest Stretch Goal update!
We just unlocked 2 new adventure stretch goals (ghost Emote adventure story and hooks, 3 iconic back stories) as well as the first of the expanded beastiary entries. Check out the update here:
Apocalypse the Risen Kickstarter Update #14
Only $500 away from the next stretch goal and still several days to get there and to more! Join us now!
Just hit the $14k stretch goal with over a week to go! Included in this stretch goal is an expanded beastiary, plus adventure hooks and new iconic stories!
Had a fun and successful time at Norwescon this week demoing Apocalypse the Risen. We will also be at PaizoCon next month as well!
We are now 138% funded with 10 days to go, and less than $200 from the next stretch goal. Now's the time to join us if you haven't already!

Apocalypse the Risen Kickstarter
If you would like to try the game out, we do have a playtest one-shot adventure as well as wealth of knowledge about the Apocalypse the Risen universe here on our website:
Apocalypse the Risen Free Downloads
And we just hit 100% funding as I was writing the previous post! Apocalypse the Risen will now be published, so please jump on as a backer to get those stretch goals moving!
If you do back it, or even if you don't but really dig the setting, please do shout it at the top of your lungs so we can keep enriching this world and deliver more content via those stretch goals.
Thank you all!
We are less than $250 away from funding after just 48 hours of the Kickstarter opening! If you're thinking about backing, now would be the time as we have a lot of great stretch goals coming up.
As a side note, we will be running two different all new adventures for Apocalypse the Risen at PaizoCon 2017, so if you want to get familiar with our setting before joining us for our sessions at PaizoCon definitely get our free downloads and tell us what you think!

Do you have what it takes to survive the Rise?
The Apocalypse the Risen Campaign Setting thrusts you into the role of a resolute survivor, forging through the ashes of humanity on an Earth besieged by demons and the dead—known as Risen. 25 years after the collapse of society, humankind and their new allies now fight back, staggered and beaten but never broken.
Demons and the risen are not the only horrors of the world. Malevolent spirits, mutated abominations, and perhaps the worst monsters of all—desperate men and women willing to do anything to survive—all populate a landscape fraught with peril. But all is not lost. Colonies have formed as the living struggle to rebuild a semblance of the world before The Rise, establishing trade and creating alliances.
Is it the survival of your Colony that drives you onward in the hunt for precious resources? Or perhaps hatred for the evils walking the Earth that fuels your righteous anger seeking redemption?
Whether you are a Maverick dependent on your keen eye and uncanny reflexes, or a Splicer reliant on your ingenuity and ability to bridge magic and technology, there is one thing for certain. Those of Darkness watch… And they wait.
The Apocalypse the Risen kickstarter is live now, awaiting intrepid backers!

Yes, this is a Pathfinder compatible campaign setting, not an actual rule system. But we did write several rules (like for our own races and classes) for Apocalypse the Risen to make sure the game world comes alive for the players.
If you're curious, I would encourage you to download the free one-shot PDF along with the quick rules and characters. Take a look at it, and if it looks interesting introduce it to your gaming group!

@Jason:
This thread is a list of *published and available* Base Classes.
I apologize, while the classes are considered published and available (at least the 5 that are in the sample one-shot adventure), I also just read in the first post that they must be "for sale" currently. The Apocalypse the Risen core rulebook won't actually be available for sale until Q1-Q2 2017.
Doesn't look like I can delete my post, so a mod or something will have to, unfortunately. Sorry about the misunderstanding!
Apocalypse the Risen
* Arbiter - Righteous avenger using faith to power their weapon of justice
* Conservator - Earth protector attuned with the energies of nature
* Enforcer - Hardened warrior skilled in exotic weaponry
* Harbinger - Mystic capable of channeling turbulent supernatural energy
* Hound - Educated and disciplined warrior with heightened wilderness knowledge
* Jackal - Stealthy scavenger with two different paths to choose, Finder or Keeper
* Maverick - Gunslinger with uncanny foresight and lightning quick reflexes
* Shepherd - Spiritual leader focused on the battle against the Darkness
* Splicer - Technology warlock able to harness the chaotic supernatural energy into spells
