Where Are We Now? September Edition
over 4 years ago – Sat, Sep 21, 2019 at 01:20:16 AM

Doing pretty well, thanks for asking! 

The final physical proof copies have arrived, and we are satisfied with them. This means two things:

  • First, in about two weeks we'll start asking you to make sure your address is correct, before we lock it for shipment.
  • Second, if you're coming to MCM Comic Con or Dragonmeet later this year, you can check out the book with your bare hands. Not sure we'll have copies for sale, but you can browse as much as you'd like!
Thumb not for scale.

Five New Adventures

The five one-shot adventures from the stretch goals are live! If you haven't received yours, please check your spam folder and your notifications on DrivethruRPG's website (or contact us, if needed).

The adventures will become available to the public in about two weeks' time, including as a bundle.

Thank you to (in no particular order) Rachael Cruz, Abby Hipolito, Tineke Bolleman, Craig Duffy and Michael Stone, for submitting their ideas and writing these adventures! 

VOD News

On a personal level, this month you could have caught Aviv in several Penny Arcade streams:

And (starting at hour 5):

And Eran was in a fund-raising streaming event, playing the medical drama RPG, The Ward: 

And finally, we were both interviewed by Lloyd and Steve of Modiphius Calling, talking about our production, some of our more interesting decisions, and the fact that Modiphius is going to publish Crystal Heart once the physical book is out.

Where Are We Now? August Edition
over 4 years ago – Tue, Aug 20, 2019 at 02:28:09 AM

In the past few weeks we've packed fan kits... 

 ...here are half of them, as an example, 

 And we've also received and approved the proofs for the book... 

 ...As well as everything else. 

Things are progressing according to plan.

Take a Look at Titan Effect

Titan Effect is a Savage Worlds setting, whose style and structure were among the inspirations for the Crystal Heart book (It's about super-powered agents who go on missions, after all). 

In their words:

"Titan Effect RPG is James Bond meets the X-Men, mixing of biopunk and spy thriller with superhero genres. Titan Effect plunges you into a world brimming with conspiracies, secret organizations, dangerous bioengineered creatures, and psychic phenomena. A world where the boundary between “good” and “evil” is blurred…"

We were asked by the lovely Christian Nommay to let you know that in order to celebrate the 1st anniversary of Titan Effect's release, all Knight Errant Media books and products (GM Screen Inserts, custom cards, original soundtrack, and more) are 30% Off on DriveThruRPG until September 9.

If this spikes your interest, you can also check out the free Jumpstart!

Where Are We Now? July Edition
over 4 years ago – Mon, Jul 29, 2019 at 12:24:02 PM

Greeting backers, let's answer a question: Where's the printed edition at?

Printed Books

The current projection is that the book will arrive at your houses around December. We had to push the date forward twice: first when the layout took longer than anticipated (but was totally worth it, we believe), and again these days, because of a negotiation we've been doing with a big publisher (which we had to finish before we could commit to a number of copies); alas, we're in the Gencon season, which we love on a personal level, but it certainly made it more difficult to make contact and finalise details, since everyone's in the industry is travelling or meeting with people. 

Backers, note! Sometime during the next few weeks you'll be asked (by email) to finalise your shipping address. If you want to beat the rush, you can get your survey link right here

Non-Physical Things

How have you been, besides that? All's good? Everyone got their PDFs? (If not - contact us!) 

More PDFs are coming soon: Several of the wonderful one-sheets that various creators wrote for us, and then Living in Syn, and then some more one-sheets probably. Hopefully, by the time everyone gets their physical books, they'll have all of the PDFs we promised!

Except for Original Syn. That's still a way off. It deals with things better not discussed, yet to be revealed; things such as foxes.
