Holy crap. Over 600 pages. Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea (Second Edition) is a beast of a PDF and a beast of a book when it releases in print later. No, I haven't read it yet although I have scanned through the PDF and it, and the art, look amazing. The first edition of AS&SH was amazing and if this improves on it, and every indiction is it has, we have one hell of a winner.
Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea (Second Edition) will normally be $20 in PDF, but for a limited time only its on sale for $12.75 (even less than the Kickstarter PDF buy in) Strike while the iron is hot!
ASTONISHING SWORDSMEN & SORCERERS of HYPERBOREA™ is sword-and-sorcery role-playing at its pinnacle. Play an Amazon fighter, Atlantean magician, Esquimaux shaman, Hyperborean warlock, Ixian necromancer, Keltic barbarian, Kimmerian cataphract, Pictish thief, Viking berserker, or one of many other possibilities.
The heroes of a HYPERBOREA campaign delve the mazes and labyrinths of vast dungeons filled with horrifying monsters, lethal traps, and bewildering puzzles. They explore savage frontiers, breach hostile borderlands, probe ancient ruins, and investigate cursed tombs. They plunder for treasure and magic in a decaying world inhabited by bloodthirsty beasts and weird, otherworldly beings.
Now in its second edition, AS&SH™ has been expanded to include new classes, news spells, new monsters, new magic items, and more! It also includes a new, full colour map, an introductory town and adventure, as well as hundreds of new illustrations! This new edition is backwards-compatible with the original edition of the game.

I was a little concerned, because it was on DriveThru, but I hadn't gotten a KS reward notice yet. But, since then, the email has arrived.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to make an additional contribution because this is a great book. $2.25 is a small discount over the $15 KS pdf backers paid 11 months ago. Still, I think it's bad form to offer the book on sale below the KS backing price immediately on release.
ReplyDeletejust got my KS pdf yesterday too, skimming it gives a good first impression
