One $250 level purchased, 19 more to go to go with the Cross of Fire Saga kickstarter

My personal favorite level of the Cross of Fire Saga kickstarter in the $250 level, because it give people the chance to help create one of the most interesting parts of the adventure, the artwork. Our artistic process is not just interesting, but it is a LOT of fun because it gives me a chance to look through and get new artwork for my Pinterest account. For those who have never done anything like this, check out all the cool artwork you like to look at and see what you like about it. Is it the coloring? Is it the composition? Is it the action going on in the piece? What makes you excited to see this image? I always start with comic book covers and pick ones I like a WHOLE lot for example Uncanny X-Men 141 is considered to be one o the greatest comic book covers ever created. And one look tells you why.  So don’t miss out on the opportunity to get a taste what it it’s like to be a on the inside of product development. Talk to you later…

Week One of the Cross of Fire Kickstarter: Moving along...

Getting Retailers on board with Cross of Fire Saga Kickstarter

One of the toughest issues I have had is getting retailers on board with the concept of kickstarters. I have done everything I could do to get them on board with what we have been doing with LPJ Design.  And with Cross of Fire Saga this is no different. So with that I have created a Retailer $60 Reward level (You will be asked to confirm your retailer status of course). Retailers please contact us directly to learn exactly what we are providing to you at that level. Or you can donate at the $1 level and then increase it to the retailer level later.

Personally I want retailers to have access to the products that we meet create because we want to support the people to help us create and have so much fun.  So go to your local gaming stores and let them know what we are doing with this kickstarter and ask them to support us.  We can't do this without your help. Talk to you later…

Cross of Fire Saga Kickstarter is asking you to Back it for a buck!!!

You say you blown your budget for kickstarters and you can’t support us? You say money is tight and you would donate if you could? You say that you think donating one dollar will not matter?

Come on people! We want you to back us for a buck. We are not asking a lot, because we know times are tough and money can be a little tight. We are having our kickstarter for 40 days (late September through early November) because we now money can be tight at the WORST moments.  But we at LPJ Design only want you to “Back Us for a Buck”! One lone American dollar. See what makes our kickstarter different is that we have rewards not just for the money we raise, BUT the amount of actual donors we get. The more donors we get, the more cool things we get to offer. So do LPJ Design and Our kickstarter a little favor, instead of picking up the 4 piece chicken nuggets from Wendy’s or that sweet ice tea from McDonalds, Dollar Menu be dammed. Toss us a that buck. We will do a lot more amazing stuff with that buck then Wendy’s or McDonalds. Like finding new and interesting ways to hurt your PC and then rewarding you after we have done it. Talk to you later…

Clinton Boomer, 31 Haunted Days and A Sword for Hire Interview…

A few months ago, I approached Clinton Boomer with working with us due to the work he was doing his daily feats he was doing at his Tumblrsite. The work he was doing was AMAZING, and I had always wanted to work with him, so I contacted him and he agreed. I thought it would be cool to do a full month of horror focused feats, which he named 31 Haunted Days. So today started the 31 Haunted Days with a great feat of undead gunslingers. Best of all this even and feats ties in perfectly with our Cross of Fire Saga adventure path kickstarter.  

And keeping in tune with our kickstarter, the blog site, ASword for Hire interviewed us on our Cross of Fire Saga adventure path kickstarter. So if you are interested in learning a little behind the scenes stuff, go over and check it out. It will be VERY informative. Talk to you later…

Transparency Agenda #70: Cross of Fire Update!

T minus 21 Days until the start of the Cross of Fire Saga Adventure Path Kickstarter for Pathfinder

The time ticks closer to the start of the the Cross of Fire Saga Adventure Path Kickstarte for Pathfinder Role Playing Game. Today we learn more about the actual start to the adventure, Havoc of the Mind’s Eye by 2014 RPG Superstar Victoria Jaczko.

Part 1: Havoc of the Mind’s Eye
BLOOD AND TERROR AWAIT

Nothing is as it seems in the blasted countryside surrounding the insular fortress-town of Lockgate. For weeks, the people there--locals and outsiders alike--have been terrorized by a creature they only know as the Beast. It strikes fast and vanishes, leaving behind mutilated corpses to find. The town’s lord has issued a reward for the death of the beast and a band of monster hunters have answered. The seer traveling with the PCs leads them straight into the heart of this mystery where it becomes quickly evident there is more at work than a simple ravaging monster. Can the PCs unearth the true source of Lockgate’s horror?

Havoc of the Mind’s Eye is an investigative horror adventure for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. The scenario is designed for four 9th level PCs, and is suitable as a single horror tale or as the second episode of the Cross of Fire saga. By the end of the adventure, the PCs will either die screaming or reach 10th level.

We keep giving you more and more twist and turns in this adventure path. Giving you a chance to understand the world of Abaddon and the Obsidian Apocalypse campaign setting better and better. Fans of Pathfinder and the horror genre in general will find the Cross of Fire Saga Adventure Path not only to be fun and exciting it will be revolutionary to what they are normally use to see. Talk to you later…

T minus 28 Days until the start of the Cross of Fire Saga Adventure Path Kickstarter for Pathfinder

The time is ticking down for the start of this all new and exciting kickstarter, the Cross of Fire Saga Adventure Path for Pathfinder Role Playing Game. To start you off on the right foot, we are going to talk about the first adventure in the Cross of Fire Saga Adventure Path written by LPJ Design very own Jeff Lee. 

PART 0: LONG WAY HOME 
Hurled Into Endless Night 

Seeking potent magic in the hands of an insane entity, accomplished adventurers find themselves transported to the bleak wasteland of Abaddon. As they explore their new surroundings, they must encounter a host of new terrors and determine whether to save a desperate caravan of nomads. Can adventurers save them, and can their weary new allies help them find a reliable way home? 

The Long Way Home is an adventure for use with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. The story and encounters are the first episode of the Cross of Fire Saga Adventure Path, but can also be played as a stand­alone adventure with light modification. The module includes a brief history of the Cross of Fire, an introduction to the world of Abaddon, and a powerful new curse. Characters should take up the adventure approximately half­way through 8th level. If they survive their first nights on Abaddon, they should reach 9th level by the adventure’s conclusion. 

As you can see this will be a great starting point for you to understand the world of Abaddon and the Obsidian Apocalypse campaign setting in general. Fans of Pathfinder and the horror genre in general will find the Cross of Fire Saga Adventure Path not only to be fun and exciting it will be revolutionary to what they are normally use to see. Talk to you later…
