[LPJ Design] Mythical Classes: Machinesmith for 5E is Now available

Louis Porter Jr. Design, has released  Mythical Classes: Machinesmith for 5E at RPGNow.com and DriveThruRPG.com. Here is information on this product:

Machinesmiths are masters of two worlds, notable and distinguished as a class for their use of both magic and science to invent new and powerful devices. Their understanding of chemistry, engineering, mathematics, and physics allow them to craft the finest inventions, from simple blades to mechanical men, which aid in their research or protect them from harm. When they find their greatworks wanting, however, their mobius-charged prototypes come to the fore—conjuring the elements, crushing their writhing foes, or even disintegrating an enemy entirely.

Whether engineers of destruction, discovery, or wonder, machinesmiths are all masters of science, drawn to the mysteries of existence like moths to a flame. Though manipulating a greatwork or activating a prototype might seem to require only a simple gesture, the hands of these inimitable creators are attuned to their devices on a subatomic level, their talents honed over numerous days and nights of study.

Available at Paizo.com here: http://paizo.com/products/btpy8qva?Ultimate-Psionic-Decks-Blank-Psionic-Power-Cards

Don't you wish you could get blank psionic cards for Pathfinder game...

So when Pathfinder was released many people asked about Psionic for the rules set and Paizo can in with the mind set that not one at the company championed the rules set so most likely it would not be covered. And with that in steps Dreamscarred Press. The had highly successfully supported psionics for 3.5 OGL so doing it for Pathfinder was a normal transition.  Dreamscarred Press released Psionics Unleashed as their start of support of Pathfinder and have continued on with several more products.  We LPJ Design have also supported them with the release of NeoExodus Chronicles: Psionic Cavian and Secret Societies of NeoExodus: Section Omega. So it was only natural to start supporting them with our PDF Ultimate Decks lines. So expect to see this and many more psionic based products on sale in the very near future to help our Pathfinder Psionic friends out there.  Talk to you later...

Meet the Scythians of NeoExodus…

In the world of NeoExodus there is no greater danger than the First Ones. One of the greatest creation of the First Ones is they warrior race called the Scythians. Here is a little background about them:

The Scythian is a humanoid race of violent brutes serving the First Ones. Scythians have only one thing on their mind: violence. They live for killing and mayhem. Scythian soldiers are the most common types of Scythian encountered by the outside world. While no one on the surface of Exodus has reported a Scythian in the last five centuries, they are far from forgotten. The Scythians are soldiers of the First Ones. Not as tough as the kroca, nor as stealthy as the sobeka nor as numerous as the exodites, the Scythians were cunning and dangerous opponents. They revel in mayhem and destruction to a level rare even among the First Ones.

One month since NeoExodus: A House Divided Campaign setting was released and still no reviews

OK this one is going to be short and to the point: Why hasn't ANYONE reviewed NeoExodus: A House Divided Campaign Setting. I mean I have not seen anything on this book. Good or bad.  All I hear is the sound of silence. Which is funny. because on the business side of this all I hear is the cash register ringing from all the people who picked it up. This books is a solid seller for us, BUT it has NO REVIEWS.  I know this book is the best setting on the market for Pathfinder. I know our book looks beautiful. I know we have made a successful product. What I don't know is what we did do wrong or what did we miss or better yet what did we leave out that you wanted to see?

The really weird part to all this is we sent out review copies of this book a few weeks before we released the sale version so reviewers have had this book for over six weeks.  So come on people don't let me twist and turn and get tied into knots over the Christmas season over this book, give us a review. And if you are feeling extra nice, go over to our Free RPG Day NeoExodus Adventure for Pathfinder Kickstarter project. Support the cause. Support 3rd Party Publisher of Pathfinder.  Talk to you later...   

Free RPG Day NeoExodus Adventure for Pathfinder RPG is up to 21%...

Well in less than 5 day we are already at 21% of our goal.  This has made me VERY happy and only means that we have picked a great project that Pathfinder fans can get behind.  I am hoping to announce a few more ALL NEW 3PP that are going to be joining us by offering up special rewards that many can find useful.  So stop on by Kickstarter and support the  Free RPG Day NeoExodus Adventure for Pathfinder RPG. Support the cause! Support 3PP of Pathfinder!

Free RPG Day NeoExodus Adventure for Pathfinder RPG Kickstarter Project Starts!

Starting today, LPJ Design is starting their Free RPG Day NeoExodus Adventure for Pathfinder RPG Kickstarter Project.  This adventure, Undying Legacy of the First Ones, will be released on June 16, 2012 during the international gaming event known as Free RPG Day.  Undying Legacy of the First Ones will serve as an introductory adventure and showcase of the NeoExodus: A House Divided campaign setting with its unique differences from all the other gaming campaign on the market for the Pathfinder RPG. This uniquely exceptional adventure will only help draw interest to NeoExodus and in turn, helping to support the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game created by Paizo Publishing.

Undying Legacy of the First Ones is being written by the Pathfinder Society Denver Venture Captain and NeoExodus Creative Designer, JP Chapleau with the project is being overseen by LPJ Design Owner Louis Porter Jr. Porter has been involved in the RPG industry for the last decade starting with the creation and development of Haven: City of Violence campaign setting. This setting is the only RPG to receive a movie option by Radical Comics owner, Barry Levine, even before the setting was released to the general public. 

The reason for this kickstarter project is to generate the funds needed to pay for the cost of production, printing and delivering this adventure to the premiere retail gaming stores to giveaway during Free RPG Day. This adventure will help increase the interest in the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game which in turn will increase their interest in 3^rd Party Publishers like LPJ Design and the NeoExodus: A House Divided setting.

New Kickstarter Idea for Free RPG Day...

After seeing what the folks at Jon Brazer Enterprises did for Free RPG Day with Kickstarter, I though to myself that this is something that would be perfect for us here at LPJ Design with the release of NeoExodus: A House Divided Campaign Setting.  So I talked it over with JP Chapleau who thinks it is a great idea, so it looks like we are going to created a Kickstarter project of an adventure for NeoExodus for Free RPG Day. We are hoping to get this Kickstartert project to help us to get at least one copy of our adventure to retailer and there customers.  Every little bit helps get the word out about NeoExodus: A House Divided.

I think we are planning for this one to start at the end of the month of December, so we can start out fresh and new for the new year.  I know, so far, that this adventure will most likely be a 3rd level adventure for Pathfinder.  JP has pitched some crazy ideas but nothing is solid in stone.  I have been working on the funding awards, and I think I have fund some very fun and unique items that upcoming patrons of this Kickstarter project will find interesting and useful.  As of right now, we are going to have patron level funding of $1, $10, $25, $50, $7, $100, $150, $250, $350 and $500. Each level will give patrons something enthralling and exclusive. So best way to learn about what is going on with this project is to like Louis Porter Jr. Design on Facebook or add us to your circle on Google+.

The more of you that talk about and support NeoExodus online and in your local retail store, the greater chance we will have to be successful with NeoExodus.  Any and all help you can give us is great appreciated   Talk to you later...

NeoExodus: A House Divided Campaign Setting is completed!

After nearly a year worth of work, NeoExodus: A House Divided Campaign Setting is complete.

It sounds so simple when you hear it like that.  It doesn't tell you all the late night skype calls between myself and JP Chapleau on what we wanted to see in this book. It doesn't tell you what we didn't think was necessary, at least not yet,  for releasing this product.  It doesn't show the disagreements that we had and even a few issues that we just didn't want to deal with.  But this book is a culmination of great work from a lot of impressive writers (Neal Bailey, Thomas Baumbach, Joshua Cole, Richard Farrese, Lee Hammock and Owen K.C. Stephens) who listened to a crazy idea that I had, help expand it to what you see right now.  I am so glad these people were willing to take a chance with me and create something you don't normally see in fantasy RPG campaign settings.  Doing NeoExodus has been my greatest accomplishment in the field of RPGs and I only hope to expand this "little world" so more people may become involved with it.  Thank you all for supporting us.

Expect to see the NeoExodus: A House Divided Campaign Setting PDF version available for sale by this weekend, and maybe even earlier, at RPGNow.com or Paizo.com. You can still pre-order the NeoExodus: A House Divided Campaign Setting print version book directly at Paizo.com that we expect to see on the retail shelves by February 2012.  Thanks to everyone who helped me make my dreams come true.  Talk to you later...

Countdown to NeoExodus: 9 Days left...

Here is the final iconic character image (Nose-Cutter, Enuka Fighter)  to go on the NeoExodus: A House Divided cover.  These are just color test and not the actual color we will be using, but you get the idea.  Talk to you later...

Countdown to NeoExodus: 11 Days...The cover is almost done...

Here is a color rough sample of the two out of three iconics (Freja Ilyanovka,  a Human Arman Protectorate Gunslinger and Karissa, a P'Tan Rogue) that are going to appear on the cover. While the colors are not exactly right you can get an idea of what they cover will look like.  Now it is getting SO exciting.  Talk to you later...
