Alluria Publishing - Some information

[Emberion]

Only three days left and we added a few "Upgrade Rewards" for higher tiers. Pledges have pretty much stalled in last week, so we added a few more tempting rewards. You can change your pledge reward to a higher level one by donating more (there will be a survey at the conclusion of the kickstarter, if the software itself doesn't account for the upgrade). Tell your friends!

Thanks to all who have contributed so far. The wheels are already turning again.

[Endzeitgeist]

And they include FREE for LIFE products! O_O

[Mikaze]

Not much time left!

Pledge!

[Emberion]

24 Hours Left! Thank you SO much to all who have pledged!

[jwood314]

This is a great way to get some great products in print, for the same cost as you would buy them elsewhere, you can help fund more great products! Looking forward to getting some great products, and a cool T-Shirt!

Cheers,
James

[Berik]

Almost forgot, but pledged now! Glad to see the appeal going so well.

[Endzeitgeist]

Not much time left, I hope this still gets some additional pledges!

[Dark_Mistress]

Well for those few curious that did not go check out the page. They almost hit 7k on the kickstart. Perhaps down the road we will see some more kickstarts for some new big books from Alluria.

[gamer-printer]

I've been commissioned to update the Cerulean Seas world map, as the first of possibly more maps for the setting...

[JiCi]

Glad to see that everything is going well for you Emberion.

As a sidenote: I'm making a HUGE encounter (got the 3 Pathfinder Bestiaries, Tome of Horrors, Creepy Creatures and Cerulean Seas) table for my underwater/ocean segment in my campaign (I'm gonna guide my PCs to look for an item at the bottom of the ocean) and after checking Cerulean Seas, I just wanted to say that I LOVE the Trueform template. While it is presented here for aquatic animals, it can be used elsewhere, and it's a VERY useful alternative for the Awaken "template". So yeah, I just wanted to thank you for that little template you've made.

[Zahariel]

Thanks to Mikaze I became a fan of Alluria and now I'm kicking myself for missing the Kickstarter... I really wanted a print version of Cerulean Seas.

I am very happy to hear there will be future projects. You can already count me in for anything that comes down the pipeline.

[JiCi]

How are things going on your end, Emberion ?

[Blackerose]

There are some wonderful things in the works, that are nearly finished. Keep watching..(loads up fishing gear..)

[Dark_Mistress]

Good to hear.

[Steven "Troll" O'Neal]

Update the website please, I'm jonesing for news.

[Dark_Mistress]

As a FYI for people. The first new product for Alluria Publishing is out. Right now you can only find it on RPGnow, not sure why it is not listed here as well. It is their psionic book for Cerulean Seas, called Cerulean Seas: Waves of Thought. I dislike linking to other sites to buy something. But you can go search for Alluria Publishing on Drivethru or RPGNow and find the new book to buy. Least for those of you that did not get it already from the Kickstarter.

[Caedwyr]

Yeah, the new Cerulean Seas: Waves of Thought is an excellent book that sells me, someone who likes the idea of psionics but isn't totally sold on the 3.5/Dreamscarred mechanics, on using Psionics. It's a great mesh of flavour and mechanics and both those interested in marine campaigns as well as psionics should check it out.

[Jadeite]

I'm waiting for it to become PoD. The preview looks great.

I, however, have no such hang-up. ;)

[JiCi]

Hope it will be available on Paizo soon...

[Blue Minotaur]

Hello, I already have the pdf of Waves of Thought, has their been any news on when a print option may be available?.

[Dark_Mistress]

Only news I know of is the new PDF and now that it has been updated. The first version had a issue with the cover art. Now they fixed it, but that just happened. So I imagine they wasn't even looking at print options till that was fixed.

[Mikaze]

I still need to check this out, especially since I already own a copy after the Kickstarter. Always tied up. Really curious what the new races are.

[Caedwyr]

New races:

Amphian - Merfolk species, a mischievous, nomadic psionic race from the tree of the cindarin. They share some characteristics with Clownfish.

Asrai - A psionic feykith race that embodies the more primitive and elemental aspect of the fey. They act as emmisaries between the psionic and arcane.

Melusine - A psionic race that diverged evolutionarily from the Nommo a long time ago, and who returned much later. Changed, much to the horror of the Nommo who attempted to wipe the Melusine out. They've got a very structured society based around psionic strength and amount of self-awareness.

Merkoth - a merfolk race that shares some traits with octopi, and who are always raised by races other than their own due to a loathing of others of their race. These guys tend to be outsiders or outcasts without a biologically similar family.

Benthic Naga - A marine anthromorph naga race. They fill the suspicious and secretive element of psionics

Zef - an alternate reality psionic version of the Zif from Remarkable Races. They've got a similar background, but psionics is their racial strength, not arcane magics.

Halfbreeds include the Merfolk Half-Races (Seafolk/Amphian, Seafolk/Melusine) and the Anthromorph Crossbreeds (Seafolk/Benthic Naga)

[JiCi]

Maybe someone should check with Paizo, because it should be on their shop, no ?

[Amora Game]

Dark Mistress,

You seem to be a good go between, so if you want to just pass a word along, Amora Game is possibly looking to partner up on a project if they are interested.
If they are let me know, they can email us at our name sake @the gmail, or even here.

[Dark_Mistress]

I sent a email and just C&Ped your post in it.

[TriOmegaZero]

Dang, how did I miss that kickstarter? :(

[The-Last-Rogue]

Wow. Waves of Thought is published! I wrote material for that a lifetime ago it seems. I am so damn out of loop lately -- to the PDF cave!

Greetings! Yes, Waves of Thought is on RPGnow.com and will be here shortly. We had some release issues that prevented us from releasing it here and are kind of waiting to fix them all first. Basically, our new software is making PDFs that do not work on every computer (?!!!) so we are in the process of fixing those files. They will likely be ready this weekend. My apologies for the delay. Minor hiccups.

We are currently working on "Indigo Ice" Which is aquatic adventuring under the polar ice caps. So far we are having loads of fun with it!

More updates soon.

That's good to hear ^^

[Blackerose]

I am hoping my psionic beasties eat many a pc's brains. As a side effect I am now more familiar with the psionic rules then I ever would have thought... Now to work on so icy monsters..<evil laughter followed by shuffling to dungeon computer>

This is the one I am most interested, especially with its walrus folk and the fact it covers and area I don't think anyone has really spent much time on

[Emberion]

Waves of Thought should be available on the Paizo site sometime today.

[Kthulhu]

Downloaded the latest update from DriveThru a few minutes ago...it's broken again.

[Dark_Mistress]

@Kthulhu I have emailed Alluria to let them know about it.

[Emberion]

Ok, this time its working in the preview and on most computers. Can you describe the issue in more detail? I am unable to reproduce the problem. Perhaps this is an issue with RPGnow?

[Dark_Mistress]

The cover page is just blank white for me. But everything else is working just fine on it as far as I can tell.

Edit: Ok the above was with PDF-Xchange, I tried to open it with adobe and I got a error message saying adobe can not display it properly and then every page is blank. The borders of the page is there but no text and no artwork.

[Dark_Mistress]

It could be a issue with RPGnow in that the file is somehow getting corrupted during the DL.

[Emberion]

Ok, just got off the line with RPGnow. The Problem is not with the new file, but that the file did not get updated with the new update (in fact, it reverted back to the original file). The new file should be updated by 7PM EST today. I'll send out an email when it is updated. Again, sorry for all the issues. It seems that we are plagued by pdf gremlins lately.

[Dark_Mistress]

No worries it happens. Just glad you was able to find where the issue was so it can be fixed. :)

[Emberion]

Oddly, those who purchased it new, should not have any issues. This is only affecting those who purchased it before today.

[Emberion]

Ok, check it out and let me know if its fixed. I can't find a computer where it doesn't work, so I can't test it myself. :P

[Kthulhu]

Looks fine now. Wierd.

Yeah, I think the zoh were inflicting their mind tricks on us all...using the rare talent "Screw Up the PDF file", level 6 telepath power. Luckily I have good saves...

[Dark_Mistress]

Looks fine now and works in both PDFXchange and Adobe.

[Mikaze]

It's now available here as well!

[Emberion]

New facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/AlluriaPublishing

[Emberion]

Print version of Waves of Thought, now available at RPGnow.com!

[Steven "Troll" O'Neal]

Hate to be a bother, but what are the Apsara all about? They're mentioned as merfolk in the preview, but that's it.

Also, I'm really excited about Indigo Ice.
