The Midnight War Resumes!

Makevia!

My dear friends,
I wanted to reach out to our Knight Errant backers in particular with a thank you for your support and patience. The core book for Amboria: Roleplaying in the World Under Starlight is in editing and layout, and you will be receiving the draft of Thunder in the North: A Grand Campaign in the World Under Starlight in the next couple of weeks. The latter has involved a lot of difficult creative decisions about what to keep and what to cut, but I’m really proud of what it’s become.

At long last, it’s time for us to resume The Midnight War. Life has conspired to make it difficult to find time to schedule and run these games, but I am finally getting far enough ahead on my planning, and you all have waited long enough! The last few times I have tried to schedule them, it’s been hard to get enough people to run sessions, so hopefully this is far enough in advance that people will be able to clear their schedules. 

Below you will find a link for the next 5 games of the Midnight War. I need at least 4 people per session, so please find a time that works for you and sign up! The sooner people put their names down, the easier it will be to make sure you get your game in. In August, we will schedule the final round of games. 

Once at least 4 people have signed up for a timeslot, I will reach out to that group about character creation and catch them up on the story so far. 

I know it’s been a long road, but I am really looking forward to sitting down around the virtual table with all of you!

February Update

Hello, beautiful people!

Richard, here. I wanted to reach out to you all and let you know where we are at in the process of getting the Amboria: Roleplaying in the World Under Starlight kickstarter delivered.

The Amboria Core Book: Is in layout! The art is about 80% completed, and we hope to have a preview of the bestiary chapter for you all to look at soon. In the meantime, here’s three of our favorite art pieces from that chapter, to whet your whistle for what’s to come!

Thunder in the North: Is nearing completion! As we speak, I am putting the finishing touches on some of the poetry for the book. This book is… it’s gonna have a LOT of poetry, I decided. Hey, you didn’t back this campaign for less poetry, did you? In March, those of you who backed at the appropriate levels will be receiving a draft of the book, and we will begin the process of having art and layout done for it.

Knights Errant Games: Are still coming! We’ve scheduled a few of the first “wave” of games, but if you backed at one of our Knights Errant tiers and haven’t gotten to play in a game yet, don’t worry! We’ll be scheduling the next wave of games in March and April! So, keep an eye on your email inbox!

Everything is humming along here at Strange Owl Games despite a few things taking longer than we’d hoped, but we’re excited about getting all of these books delivered to you, and already making plans for future releases. You can keep up with some of my work in progress over at the Strange Owl Patreon if you’re curious.
