Hey everybody, just wanted to give you all an update as to the happenings of the current projects over at the RPGStandard frontline.

Update #1: Due to some unforeseen events, the Pathfinder campaign setting project revolving around the miniatures from the recent Reaper kickstarter, has been put on hold. We have strong hopes that the project will resume in several months time, when we have our team back up to full manpower.

Update #2: With three of us still left working on projects, we have turned our sights to a smaller project, that we have been developing over that last couple months. This new project is for a book called the "Almanac of the Magi: Artifacts of Power volume 1", this volume will contain a wide variety of magical items, both beneficial and cursed. Ruling will ultimately be designed for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, but will still be easily adaptable to other systems as well. With several months behind us in development, we are happy to announce the future launch of the kickstarter this summer. The volume will be fully illustrated, hopefully in color if we reach our goals. We have plans to take the volume up to several hundred pages, but the overall size, and content of the volume is solely up to our future backers.

Let us know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.

Apologies for being away for so long and not posting any new newsletter links. We have been hard at work developing our new campaign setting, terrain designs and a new website. All of the content that we produce, including articles and tutorials, will be making itself available on this site. Please feel free to visit the site, and express your opinions. The site will continue to grow, how it grows is entirely up to the community.

We will be moving from the short newsletter model that we have been releasing every few weeks, to a much larger magazine style publication, there will be loads of content, and the releases will be about once every 5 weeks or so. That being said, the tournament will continue on with its two week sessions. We sure hope everyone is enjoying the content we are producing. We would also like to announce that there will be a reader submission section , this can include anything you guys can think up, from artwork to articles and short stories, anything is game. submissions for such content should be sent to our email rocketpropelledgames@yahoo.com

If you have questions concerning anything at all , please feel free to contact us

For those of you looking at this wondering, "what this all about anyhow?"

We are a group of gamers that are actively developing a range of miniatures gaming terrain, and other gaming content for the community. Our terrain will be inexpensive , of high quality and durability. We dont just want to make what we want, so we are actively seeking input from the community. We are also holding miniatures painting competitions , which are more like a long running tournament, the more rounds you enter the more points you get, the more points you get, the better your prize pool at the end. If this seams like something that interests you, download the PDF from the link in the first post, and you will see what we are working on.

Not sure if you are referring to terrain that already exists or suggesting that I make century city terrain. If your referring to something that already exists could you send us a link cause google search didn't reveal anything

Hello Curaigh, at this point most of the structural design elements are complete. You will be able to build a structure that is largely independent from its components , (i.e you can take out certain walls and floors and the structure will still maintain its integrity allowing you access to the buildings interiors , etc.) We are mainly looking for ideas in the way of "fluff" , what setting you would like to see, specifics within each setting, etc.

As a bonus to all you subscribers out there, anyone who is a subscriber before the beginning of the kickstarter, and pledges at the $20 level or higher , will recieve a special bonus in their reward, after the projects is successully funded that it.

First I would like to say thanks to all the gamers out there for all your support. Rocket Propelled Games is in the development process of a brand new line of miniature wargamming terrain, different than everything that is currently on the market. We want to make a modular, inexpensive but still high quality set of miniature terrain for use in all kinds of different games, and your input is key to this being a success.

The problem; In todays market, miniature terrain is expensive, bulky, and rather limiting in their variety. With our modularized terrain and your help we plan to change all of this.

The solution lies with all of us, your opinions and ideas mean allot to us, that is why we are asking for your input now while we are still in the early developmental stages of this project. We have currently slated FIVE genres to develop terrain for : Zombie Apocalypse ( which we are very excited about) , High Fantasy , Sci-Fi , Steampunk , and Horror. With these FIVE genres in mind, we should be able to provide terrain for virtaully any situation imaginable.

Now, here's where you come in, we want to know what you want to see be made into real tangible terrain. You are shaping the future of miniature terrain as the world knows it. Please email us with your opinions, ideas, concerns, and any questions you may have regarding this adventure in terrain development that we are all embarking on.

If you wish to subscribe to our newsletter and recieve updates as they occur ; please put Subscribe in the title of your email.

For those that may be wondering, we are not currently running a Kickstarter project, however, one is slated to take place in the not to distant future, so make your voices heard and you may just see your idea come to life.

Thank you all for your support

Best Regards,

Rocket Propelled Games
