[Legendary Games] A new Gothic Grimoire... Beyond the Void!

[Jason Nelson]

Taking you into the darkest reaches of far-off space, where reality begins to turn in on itself and ancient eldritch beings float in timeless slumber in dreamscapes too terrible for the human mind to comprehend... there lie the secrets plumbed in Beyond the Void!

Coming soon from Legendary Games!

[Cralius the Dark]

Is it possible for the next Grimoire to top the previous one? I say YES.
Keep 'em coming.

I'm already interested in this one! Bring on the tentacled, eldritch goodness!

[Jason Nelson]

Glad you're interested. I must confess, however, that because of several late-night writing sessions this product has grown beyond a Grimoire and instead will be full-sized product a la the Cultic Cryptomancia or Mad Doctor's Formulary. A bit more of a sneak peek on our website, but this should be available exclusively on our website starting next week, with wide release to follow through Paizo and our other sales partners thereafter.

P.S. Two words: EMBRYONIC SHOGGOTH

[Dark_Mistress]

Sounds very cool.

[Jason Nelson]

A new preview is up for this product over at our website, previewing the four new archetypes contained in Beyond the Void:

- The deranged and deadly alienist (summoner archetype), wholly given over to the service of Things from Beyond.
- The intrepid bathynaut (alchemist archetype), exploring the deep and dark places beneath the waves for traces of lost civilizations and alien vistations.
- The master of mutation, the deviant (wizard archetype), willing to do anything TO anything, just to see what happens when two things become one.
- The mysterious iridic mage (wizard archetype), his eyes forever watching the stars for signs of life and intelligence, whether malignant or benign.

More previews to come, but in the meanwhile, enjoy!

This loooks AWESOME! Is there any chance (please, please please!) that you will be producing an adventure or adventure path to make use of these rules? I would really love a Lovecraftian adventure path.

[Jason Nelson]

We do have not one, not TWO, but *THREE* adventures nearing completion at Legendary Games!

Sadly, none at the moment feature Lovecraftian horror, as one is an adveturesome journey in Jim Groves' upcoming Road to Destiny, and the other two are more themed for the fey wilderness of our just-about-ready Kingbreaker Adventure Path Plug-Ins!

Cosmic horror and adventure, though, is never toooo far from our minds, and if you're at PaizoCon this year you just might get a chance to see something special we are cooking up to announce there (and even if you can't, we'll be announcing it far and wide soon after)!

[Eric Hinkle]

So you've got two 'Kingbreaker' adventures coming up? Okay, I remember that one is titled Cold Mountain, can we get any information on the other one?

[Jason Nelson]

I can tell you that it's being written by Superstar designer Matt Goodall as a mid-level adventure that helps fill in some of the missing fey menace from the AP. For all of its well-deserved praise, the one consistent knock on Kingmaker is that the BBEG kind of comes out of left field. There's just not enough foreshadowing to suggest their coming role. Tiny bits and pieces here and there. This adventure remedies that in a big way.

We're not quite ready to start previewing it in detail yet, but Matt's manuscript is just about done and maps and art are underway, so we're probably looking at a release in mid-May.

[Evil Midnight Lurker]

Sweetness. I've been prepping to run Kingmaker online for a while, and this sounds perfect.

Can you tease us about any non-adventury plugins you're considering for KM?

[Jadeite]

This should be quite useful in updating Carrion Hill.

There's a new mini-bestiary in the works.

And I'm sure there'll be other stuff... ;-)

[Jason Nelson]

As a matter of fact, I'm cooking up a new batch of previews as we speak, but as Neil indicated Tim Hitchcock and I are brewing up a batch of fantastic monsters. We already teased the first art piece on our website, but we'll have more to say about that soon.

Previews at the moment are focused on this product and the ones immediately to follow, and hey look, there's one now!

Check it out if you want to find out a little bit more about alien contact (as well as its greater and lesser versions), cosmic communion, deform angularity, discharge eyespore, embryonic implantation, fade from existence, and shroud of stars! Plus a little cherry on top, a hint about the two feats included: Summon Star-Spawn and Crawler in Darkness.

Enjoy!

...please tell me this was designed and/or named as a shout out to the RPGSS '09 irides debate.

[Jason Nelson]

My lips are sealed. ;)

[Player Killer]

This sounds awesome! You've got yourself a sale as soon as it hits the Paizo store.

[Jason Nelson]

Glad to hear it! That said, while we love our market presence here on Paizo, but if you want it earliest, come and get it when it releases at our webstore, where it will be available a week before it comes out anywhere else! We'll announce it as soon as it is ready for launch!

[Player Killer]

Will do!

[Jason Nelson]

And now, probably the final preview for Beyond the Void, since I do believe it will be available TOMORROW at www.makeyourgamelegendary.com!!!

As soon as it gets finished in layout. LINK ALL THE THINGS!

[Jason Nelson]

All your link will belong to us!

Just not yet... F5... F5... F5... :)

I'm seriously looking forward to this release, I've been pretty impressed with what I've seen from you so far. I do have one request though, I know you're not releasing it here at the same time as when you release it on your website, and I totally understand that, but I like only having to go to one place to download any book in my collection, so will you update this thread when you release it on Paizo?

Of course!

Also, just FYI, whenever a product goes live on Paizo, it also gets a page in the "Product Discussion" section of the messageboards, which is the very first thread group at the top of the messageboards page. You can also check our publisher page here at Paizo, which shows our products in alphabetical order, which in this case means Beyond the Void should be showing up right at the top of the list, bumping the Construct Codex out of the top spot it's been hogging since last August! :)

But no worries, you'll be able to get it wherever you like, and you'll have ample notice when it goes live, both here and on our website and on our facebook page. You will not lack for notification!

Of course, I'd also be remiss if I failed to mention that when you buy early from us, you can save a little bit of coin... just sayin.

[Jason Nelson]

Available now on our website!

Portrait uploaded now. Landscape later tonight.

I've been here for years and did not know that. I generally only visit the 3pp and sometimes the rules (or playtest) forums so I never noticed. lol

Now this one I knew, but honestly, I follow a lot of companies. (Well, lotish.) Its nice to have a section where everyone talks about their upcoming products and mentions when they get released.

Now see, that's intriguing. :)

[Heine Stick]

Purchased. While I would normally prefer buying my stuff through paizo.com, the prospect of early access AND a small discount is enough to lure me away from paizo.com. :D

[Jason Nelson]

Woo! Thanks for the early purchase! Hope you enjoy!

[Player Killer]

I just picked up Beyond the Void and it looks very cool! I look forward to tormenting my players with all of the otherworldly goodness contained within. I'm looking forward to the Gothic Grimoire with the Deviant Mage.

Heh-heh-heh, just until tomorrow... I'm so looking forward to reading this one.

[Fnipernackle]

Buying this in the morning

[Jason Nelson]

Slight delay in getting the landscape version out there. Apologies for anyone waiting for that version, but Liz tells me it should be available tonight.

[Jason Nelson]

Beyond the Void, now available in Legendary Landscape for your buying pleasure!

[Jason Nelson]

And now in wide release, here at Paizo as well as at shop.d20pfsrd.com and on DrivethruRPG. Of course, it's also available at www.makeyourgamelegendary.com, your home away from home for all things Legendary!

Come and get it!
