Latest Updates from Our Project:

Status update for our projects

Hello everyone,

Our translator is almost finished with Creatures of the Northern Wilds. This means that we will soon be able to start with the layouts and should be able to share the PDF with you early this summer.

The main texts for Hardships of Wilderness (Swedish version) have been sent back to me by our editor, and I'm about to dive in and make the necessary changes and updates. Once all the texts are updated, we will send them to the translator for the English version.

The next step is to work on Secrets of Luvaatan. As I said, these adventures are mostly finished. However, we are thinking about adding a new adventure site for it. It will add more excitement to the story, and since we're in such a good place, it won't delay the project. Once it is done, this text will also be sent for translation.

Printing is still expected to take place at the end of September for fulfilment in November this year.

We will soon perform a smoke test for the PledgeManager, so a few of you should receive invitations so we can see that all things are working properly, before opening up for the rest of you and for late pledges. 

We are also working on our next Kickstarter for Dragonbane, The Chronicles of Sorrow. A four-part epic campaign, previously published in Swedish (well, the first three parts, the last book will be published in Swedish at the same time as it's English counterpart). You can follow the Kickstarter here (click on the image):

We also have another project we're working on, which is a less dark and gritty campaign than The Chronicles of Sorrow: Alea Masona. This project is made up of three books: Alea Masona - Adventures for Young Players, Monsters in Masona and Adventures in Masona. Three exciting books for young players and families, based on our bestselling Swedish RPG Sagospelet Äventyr. We ran this project through Kickstarter, and while we had most things in place for this project, we ran into delays. Mostly because I miscalculated how much work it would take to convert all the text into both Swedish and English and keep it consistent. However, we are getting close to release and hope to see the books in print in November.

Lastly, we're preparing for meeting some of you at Swedens oldest convention GothCon in Gothenburg, where we are celebrating the release of our Swedish kickstarter Tjuvar och Lönnmördare (and yes, this too will be published in English). 

Kind regards,

Daniel & the team

Book 1: Alea Masona finished!
over 1 year ago – Thu, Mar 20, 2025 at 03:36:00 AM

Hello all!

We have finally finished the first book, Alea Masona, in English. We will release it in two different editions: one mass market version soft cover version and one Kickstarter edition, which includes some extras - and it will also be printed in hard cover. The Kickstarter version will be numbered and signed, and we will never print it again.

The first step is to share the file via DriveThruRPG, so you should receive a notification from there soon.

The work on the other two books is proceeding, and hopefully I can share some exciting news in the not too distant future. 

King regards,

Daniel

Preview: The Cover for book 1: Alea Masona

Hello everybody!

We're still working on the titles. The first book Alea Masona is almost finished. Today we made the print file for the cover, and the inlay is waiting for two graphic elements before it is considered finished. 
We're also continuing to work on the adventure book and doing layouts for Monsters in Masona, where the monster attacks still need to be translated, but we're getting closer every day! 
Until next time, have fun!

Kind regards,
Daniel

PS The cover is still subject to change and proofreading. 

An exciting update!
