Hey, if you are a Dave Gross fan and just want a copy of his new were short story from our Pathfinder Lycanthropes project--or you just want to spread Dave's awesomeness LIKE lycanthropy, then I've added a pledge level for that!

Bite Me! The Gaming Guide to Lycanthropes.


I was initially going to sign up for this level, but then I decided it looked worth it to get the $20 level instead.

Happy to have you on board, Aaron!

Interesting.

Writers are always the big draw on something like this.

Obviously there is Christina but adding Wolfgang, Dave Gross, SKR, Mike Welham, Ben McFarland and Owen Stephens adds to the sexiness.

It isn't very clear what they're writing though, any more we can learn?

Yes, certainly. Wolfgang and Dave are detailed on the KS page, with Dave writing a were short story to be set in SpirosBlaak, and Wolfgang writing the foreword and a section on lycanthropes in Midgard.

Steven Trustrum of Misfit Studios, main author of SpirosBlaak (a Misfit Studios property), is writing about lycanthropes in SpirosBlaak and adding feats, traits, etc. We'll be pulling some OGC from SB, of course.

Rick Hershey and Jason Stoffa of Fat Goblin Games will be discussing lycanthropes in Vathak.

Louis Porter Jr. is discussing lycanthropes in NeoExodus.

Steve Russell of Rite Publishing will be writing about lycanthropes in Questhaven.

Ben McFarland will be writing the wereblooded (aka weremarked) alternate PC race, and I hope to talk him into doing an incantation or two.

Owen Stephens is doing a prestige class (or an archetype). SKR is doing an archetype.

Mike Welham is working on a werebadger and is on the stretch goal for the Bite Me! The Gaming Guide to Dhampir! He'll likely be adding to the races and feats, traits, etc.

Liz Courts will be working on the moon's effects on weres.

Crystal Frasier will likely be doing a race or alternate ways of getting rid of lycanthropy. We are still talking on her part.

Thilo Graf (ENDZEITGEIST) is writing a bit called Meat-That-Screams. I'll have a teaser from this up on the Misfit Studios site soon.

And Dawson Kriska and I will be dealing with other parts of the book, our weresharks writing new lycanthropes, and my wereapprentices writing parts of the book and new lycanthropes.

Did I miss anyone?

Thanks for asking!

EDITED for Mike Welham's role.


I think it's awesome that you are encouraging other 3PP to put material in YOUR product that support THEIR products/campaign settings. It looks like you are trying to produce the definitive work on Lycanthropes for all* settings.

all*:
Where "all" = the major third party publisher's that are willing to contribute to the project with information about lycanthropes for their campaign setting.

Any chance on getting Dale McCoy to talk about lycanthopes in Shadowsfall?

I LOVE 3PP material, personally!

I can ask Dale McCoy, Aaron! I may even ask the Frog God about their upcoming setting.

EDIT: Message sent to Dale.

Sweet! I also like 3PP material. I especially like seeing how much the 3PP of Pathfinder material interact and share and promote each other's products. It's a very friendly marketplace. It's like walking into a farmer's market and asking a vendor if they sell a certain kind of tomatoes. Instead of trying to sell me a similar tomato, that vendor replies, "No I don't but that farmer over there does, and they are delicious!"

I'm fairly certain (in the neighborhood of 150% certain) that FGG has some wereshark information in one of their upcoming books. *cough*Razor Coast*cough*

Yeah, I'll see if we can get that off Bill to be included. :) Reminds me: John Ling is working with us as well. He has a prestige class.


So far I have not been able to do any Kickstarters I wanted to. But darnit, I am a fan of yours. I want to try.

Contributor

Thanks for being a fan, Mead! I hope you can join us.

Contributor

I've sent messages to Dale McCoy and Bill Webb, but I haven't heard anything back from them. If I can get them to include information on their worlds, I will.

Contributor

Lol! Dale says there's too much sun going on. Sounds like those lycans would go CRAZY in his world. So, he'll pass this time around, but maybe we'll do something together in the future. Who knows?

Cool! So it sounds like lycanthopes are not a big factor in Shadowfall. Not that they need them given the HUGE number of undead there. :)

Thanks, Scott! There's just 14 days left, everybody!

Contributor

Everyone who cares about this project, please help spread the word! Let's make it happen!


I'm spreading the word Christina, any chance/thread I get!!!

Any word from Alluria Publishing? Dreamscarred? The more 3PPs we can get on board the greater the final broadscale application of Bite Me!

Contributor

There's just 12 days to go on the kickstarter, and it hasn't moved much. Please keep spreading the word. Thanks.

I posted a derro werebadger picture to the kickstarter's main page. Your RPG Superstar, Mike Welham, will be doing the writeup for the creature.

Bite Me! The Gaming Guide to Lycanthropes.

I have to say, I laughed when I saw the picture. I really like it, especially the detail of seeing the lockpicks all over his body. Just struck me as funny when I saw it.

Thanks, Umarian! Rick Hershey does some awesome work.
