Treasures of NeoExodus subscription product line coming soon…

Right now I am working on a new subscription based product line for NeoExodus: A House Divided to help expand the historical aspects of the setting. I am calling it Treasures of NeoExodus. We are creating unique and interesting magical and mundane items that you can use in your NeoExodus home games that give you more a personal connection to the item. The PDFs in this series will come with background and history of the treasure, its special mundane and/or magical qualities plus magic item cards of the specific treasure containing detailed information and blank versions of the cards. Everything you need to incorporate these items into your character’s background and your gaming sessions is here making them even more appealing, special and personal. 

Since each one of these product focus on a single item, we are making sure that these PDFs will be quite affordable and highly useful to your home games, we are having two price costs for this line. If you wish to subscribe to the whole initial Treasures of NeoExodus line, it will only cost you $9.99 for 10 PDFs. In addition, you will receive two additional Treasures of NeoExodus PDFs at the moment you sign up. But, if you choose to purchase them individually, it will cost you 1.49 each. So as you see the subscription will save you at least 50% off your individual purchases of 10 PDFs. Expect to see the Treasures of NeoExodus line for sale some time by the beginning of August. Talk to you later…
