"Here terrible portents came about over the land of Northumbria, and miserably frightened the people: these were immense flashes of lightning, and fiery dragons were seen flying in the air. A great famine immediately followed these signs; and a little after that in the same year on 8 June the raiding of heathen men miserably devastated God's church in Lindisfarne island by looting and slaughter." --The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, AD 793

"Deliver us, O Lord, from the fury of the Northmen." --Unnamed Anglo-Saxon monk

Winter is closer than you think...


I'm ready! Fire the kickstarter up already!

Agreed. :)

Seriously, very excited about this one.


I have no ability to be fired up about this because it means absolutely nothing to me besides some cryptic use of quotes from ye olde Earth.

Anyone care to clarify?

I assume this is a teaser for Frog God Games' upcoming Northlands Saga kickstarter.

Aye, it's the teaser for the Northlands Saga KS and, as far as I'm concerned, I'm STOKED. :)

Yeah, I've been waiting imnpatiently for this ever since the Kickstarter was announced. Should be a *very* sweet deal.

Sorry for being cryptic, OSW. I was mainly just having some fun with the folks who already knew about it as a pending product. I'll have a much more detailed and useful announcement on it soon. I'm working on the text for the KS page now. :-)

Thank you Greg. A most considered and helpful reply, you have my respect. I will examine the Kickstarter.

Greg, I can't believe you didn't just go all the way and say, "Winter is coming." Because WINTER IS COMING!

It's like if Robert E. Howard wrote the Elder Eddas, with a bit of editing from Ashton Clark Smith.

This is what I mean:

"The champion was Uth’ilopiq, and Althunak set him as prince of the city of Oosqwai at the eastern end of the Wailing Mountains where they met the gray sea."

I try to show SOME restraint, thank you very much.


He didn't show any restraint when he ran The Crooked Tower at NTRPG Con.


Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Charter Superscriber

Right on! Stoked!

Side note, just that quote should be enough to feel a bout of stokedness. Oceanwolf, you must've read it before more coffee.

I said I try to show SOME restraint...

You going to show them that other teaser, Greg?

Are ya, huh? Are ya?

Pathfinder Creative Director, Frog God Games

Well...I feel kind of dumb now. I don't know how to post it here since it's not a link. I guess I hadn't really thought that all the way through. [sheepish grin]

Do I smell snow? <- this is a hyperlink :)

Pathfinder Creative Director, Frog God Games

THERE it is!

(Thanks, Chuck. Huh, Facebook? Who knew it could do something like that?)

OO, nice job Chuck, that's the first time I've seen it with the border and title.

I cut back on my vacation spending for this.


Still on track for the 31st?

Somewhere between Sunday and Tuesday. Lots of little details, like Greg has to make a voice-over for the video, triple-checking the description of shipping costs, etc. It doesn't help that the power's out in Bill's entire county. He may have to receive word of the Kickstarter's launch by smoke signal.

Pathfinder Creative Director, Frog God Games

Voice-over done.
KS page mostly done.
Bill's still got to verify the shipping costs and make sure all the pledge levels are added (and climb out of the Stone Age apparently). ;-)

Publisher, Frog God Games

lol--huge storms in Seattle--and I am in the country--we were powerless for about 20 hours.

ps--look to the North at the rising of the sun!


Maybe invest in a good generator?

Or maybe some gasoline to run it with! ROTFLOL!!! :-D


Is today the day?

Pathfinder Creative Director, Frog God Games

A fleet of sails has been spotted on the horizon! Dragon heads ride high on the prows! The Northmen are coming...today!*

******

I'm in clinic all day and won't be able to check back in until probably late afternoon.

Silverhair, as official Herald Frog, if you notice the Kickstarter launch and see that no new thread to announce it has been made, will you make a new thread here entitled:

[FROG GOD GAMES] The Northlands Saga Complete Kickstarter has Launched!!

And then include a link to the page?

You can say whatever comments you'd like. I'll come in later today and add any additional comments if needed. Thanks!

My apologies in advance to all for my voice-over work on the video. There's a reason my medium of choice is print and not radio.
:^[|]
(FYI: That's a big cheesy grin, not lip implants.)

*(Pending final approval of the page by Kickstarter, but I'd assume it'll be up in the next hour or so.)

156. When I saw this earlier I would have been 18 but I had to make it home from work (in Bill's part of the world) and shift some money around.


At $27000+ in less than 24 hours.

Keep sharing the word.
