More Kickstarters, First Game in Krenna

Couple of interesting kickstarters this week.

First the Pathfinder Online Tech Demo first, this one bugs me a little bit because its for just a tech demo. Now, I did read the FAQ about their reasons, and something hit me.

1) They hit their 50K goal in less than 24 hours, so they obviously underestimated what they could get from fans.

2) How is a "Tech Demo" of a game that's going to cost more than a million going to be a true demo when they can build it for only 50K?

3) Several even more "niche" projects have broke the 1M mark.

But like I said they hit their 50K already so we'll see what we get.

Second, is the City Generator from inkwell ideas a lot of inkwell's projects are nice... I really wanna see this one go through.

But enough of that, the second session of the first game I'm getting to play in Krenna is two weeks away.


Mask of Obmonshik is my brother's game he's running for me and the parents. So far its good, the second session is Memorial Day (US) weekend. I'll post more as it goes...

Speaking of the sibling, he's going to Reapercon next week. So his painting should get even better. He's also been sent some instructions on how to set up a good light box for taking pictures so we'll see some here soon!


That's all for now... later.

Image Boxes...

If anyone else is running linux here's what I've discovered.

Okular (KDE's PDF Reader) Still doesn't support the image boxes.
Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.7 is the current Acroread for Linux. It DOES support the image boxes.
AAR 9.7 Is really ugly in KDE.

This means if you're using linux. Look for your particular distribution's instructions for installing "acroread".

Also if anyone uses gnome, xcfe, unity, and has had better experiences with pdf readers. Comment here or on the product pages at paizo.

Congrats Mike!

First, congratulations to Mike Welham for winning RPG Superstar 2012. I'm looking forward to his Doom comes to Dustpawn. I had a hard time choosing between it and Tom Phillips The Scarlet God. In the end I think Tom has probably the better abilities over Mike, but Mike had a better module idea. I really really want to see both names on future Pathfinder or "3PP" products.

Second, the Organization Worksheet is out. It's already sold one copy as of writing this. I'm hoping it does well. April and May's sells are the final determination of going to Paizo Con.

Last, Krenna work has kicked up some more, this time my brother has taken the reigns and is working on an awesome game for the family in a chunk of Krenna. The original goal of working towards publish Krenna was so I could play in a world of my making, not just DM it. So this is really cool!

That's it for now!
