First of all, thank you all so much for supporting us and helping bring this project to life! It is truly incredible that so many of you have decided this little game is worth your time and hard-earned cash! I say "little" metaphorically though, because what we're bringing to you is truly a beast! We're not done with the layout for obvious reasons, but we think it should be about 400-500 pages, divided into 7 chapters, By the way, that's something I haven't discussed anywhere, so this is the complete Table of Contents:
1. Welcome to Karum Station
A small introduction to the game and some of its concepts.
2. Character Creation
This is the chapter you guys have access to (here it is, plus a gameplay example, in case you missed it!)
3. The Rules
This chapter explains all the mechanics, from combat to managing time, Stress, etc.
4. Playing the Game
This is the fun one, here are all the procedures to generate Àrsaith planets and Sites!
5. Running the Game
Advice for GMing the game, as well as all the GM emulation tools and mechanics.
6. Antagonists
This chapter deals with the procedures you need to follow in order to create the different horrors you'll (unfortunately) find during your travels.
7. Karum Station
Last but not least, this chapter describes some of the game's lore, detailing your base of operations as a Deep Diver: Karum Station. All the gear lists are in this chapter as well, including weapons, drugs, and implants (nothing too outlandish though, this is not a Cyberpunk game).
So as you can see, I tried to cover all the basics, and then some! I doubt you'll be needing anything once you start digging into it, I wanted the game to be as feature-complete as possible. This doesn't mean that there isn't room to expand or improve, of course, and I have big plans for the future... We can discuss those in other update though.
So yeah, just wanted to thank you guys, the backers, but my team as well, Leo and Phil, because without them I wouldn't have been able to do this! And of course, the amazing members of the Order of the Black Oath, my Patreon, who have been supporting me and helping me through every step of the way! Thanks so much, guys!
Speaking of community, if you guys want to talk games in general and Across a Thousand Dead Worlds in particular with me or any other of the members, please drop by my Discord server! We're pretty active so it's a great time!
Last but not least, you guys do not want to miss out Leo's (more known as L.F.OSR) incredible Kickstarter: Horizon Rising.
HORIZON RISING is an art heavy, system-neutral setting source book featuring a battle ravaged playground of so-called deities, crushed under its own opulence, destined to drown under the relentless sea.
So yeah, go and check that out!
And to finish, here's a small art teaser, a terrible Àrsaith guardian!
