Through the months of May and June, Drop Dead Studios will be releasing a series of new classes and player options, releasing a new product every week. The first one (The Vauntguard) should be up any day now, and we'll be using this spot to announce each new release as they come out.
Expected Releases in the Blitz include:
The Vauntguard- bringing secret agents out of the action movies and into Pathfinder.
The Dilettante- Need a fighter? a rogue? a healer? a spellcaster? Why not a class that can be all 4?
The War Dancer- mystic warriors who control their enemies by anticipating and manipulating their movements and energies, making them partners in his dance.
The Spiritualist- These divine casters don't call power from another source, but instead summon forth the power of their own spirits, using Second Sight and monk-like training to reach inhuman levels of power.
The Channeler- A spellcaster who uses his own Hit Points to fuel his magic.
The Agent- What does a god do who isn't powerful enough to create Clerics, but nonetheless needs to work his will on the world? Grant a piece of his divine spark to create for himself an agent.
And more! Keep watching this spot to stay up to date with each new release and let us know what you think of the new line.
Thanks,
DDS
Our first class of the summer blitz, the Vauntguard, is now up for sale!
Missed a few, we now have the War Dancer and Dilettante available as well, for those who love controlling the battlefield or doing a little of everything, respectively.
Dang! I gotta get the Dilettante as a basis for my 'Elf' Class. I have them as a Druid/Fighter/Ranger JoaT that is the default for Elves.
I got the Dilettante, the Vauntguard and the War Dancer. I must say that I like them all and it is hard to pick a favorite. All are different and refreshing.
The Vauntguard looks like it would quite fun to play, particularly for those like me who have always enjoyed a PC 'trapsmith' type of character. Quite a different character which should appeal to creative types or someone who wants to run a 'different' sort of character from the usual core / base classes.
The Dilettante is a very interesting approach to a 'Jack of All Trades' character and would also appeal to creative indviduals who want a character with a wider scope of options over the standard classes. Fun to play to boot.
The War Dancer is different approach to a warrior type. I particularly like the 'mystic warrior' concept - a warrior trained and armed with the lore and mysticism of peoples tied to spiritual connections to natural world and mystic beliefs. For whatever reason, the War Dancer conjures up for me the image of ancient Celts or Robert E. Howard's Picts chanting around the fire and 'dancing' with the spirits and ancestors in wild war like dances.
I look forward to the other offerings. Well done!
Our next class is out now: The Channeler!
Sorry for the delay in getting this one ready. We will try to get our next one, the Spiritualist, out by the end of this week.
Our next class is out now, bringing anime flair to the Asian warrior with The Spiritualist.
Once again we apologize for the delay. If need be we will just extend the blitz by a week or two: we promised you 8 products, and 8 products you shall have before we're done. Our next, The Aspect, should be available soon.
Can't wait for the Aspect. I have purchased class you have made since the blitz and I can honestly say they are all amazing. My current character is even a Channel who kicks some serious butt and in a modern-apocalypse game I am running one player is having a blast trapping with the Vauntguard. Keep up the good work.
Paizo Con put a hitch into the publishing schedule, but it's over now and behold! The Aspect is now available!
June is over now, so technically the blitz itself could be considered over. However, along with the aspect, vauntguard, dilettante, war dancer, channeler, and spiritualist, there were two other classes scheduled for the Blitz that didn't quite make it in time. So, while we're planning on taking a much-needed breather for a week or so, expect to see both the Champion and the Riftwalker soon! Thanks to everyone who's supported us through the Blitz, and thanks for all the comments!
Things have gone crazy with the Spheres of Power kickstarter, but we're still working on those, and are going to get them out as soon as we can. The upheaval of a wonderfully successful kickstarter is the best sort of upheaval, but is an upheaval nonetheless.
