[Atlantis the Second Age] Theragraphica Kickstarter in need of more support

Though there is an ongoing thread about Atlantis here: http://www.therpgsite.com/showthread.php?t=28094, it may not be apparent from that alone that the RPG currently has its third (and last) Kickstarter up and heading into its last week: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1269000670/atlantis-theragraphica.

This is for a bestiary for Atlantis the Second Age, a fantastic sword and sorcery RPG set in an antediluvian world based on the Bard Games classic 1980s RPG Arcanum. The publisher is Khepera (Jerry Grayson) who is also the company behind Hellas and Godesend Agenda.

It is currently at ~$6,900 or 91% of its funding goal of $7,500. However, the Kickstarter has suffered the predictable mid KS slump and its now relying on the last week surge to get it over the line. But the real goal is that it needs $10K to become a full colour hardcover book, like the previous two books in the Trilogy and all of Jerry's previous books. And Jerry does an amazing job with these books in colour as seen with Atlantis and Geographica (both of these Kickstarters were fulfilled in a timely fashion):





If you backed either of those two previous KSs, we need you back. Jerry has managed to arrange for similar Amazon shipping arrangements as with Geographica so it looks all set to be a smooth ride to completion.

If you didn't back either of those two previous KS, there are some great bundles in this latest KS to jump in now.

For my part I am pledging at $500 and will up it to $1k if we get to $9.5K, meaning we only need $2,600 to hit that goal.

And don't just take my word how awesome this game is. There are many reviews out there including on RPGnet, here: http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/16/16104.phtml (which is from a person who has also reviewed the previous Morrigan Press version), and on TheRPGSite here: http://www.therpgsite.com/showthread.php?t=29617.

I am happy to answer any questions, and would to hear shout outs from others who have bought or pledged for Atlantis previously on this thread.

And if you need more reason to see this in full colour and hardcover, the samples so far show that each monster is getting a full colour picture that around half a page in size. Not only great inspiration for Atlantis but any antediluvian/S&S gaming:





And the cover:

We got funded! Woot.

Now, the final stretch to $10k (or $9.5k as I will throw in another $500 if we get that close).

For anyone interested in Atlantis the Second Age: Khepera has an excellent trackrecord when it comes to delivering kickstarts. The past projects have all arrived quickly and are high quality. I'm in for the three-core-book print bundle.

I'm all for being enthusiastic but this is starting to look more like shilling, mate.

I'm moving this to News/Adverts.

We are currently sitting at $8.5K, with less than $1.5K to go.

$9.3K and we are just about to hit the 72 hour mark where days become hours. We might just hit the $10k mark :)

This warms my heart!! Skywalker, your dedication to this KS should put your name in the halls of the Exalted for all time! You're a stand up guy and I personally Thank you from the bottom of my heart. We all owe you our gratitude; that 10k hit because of you.

Thanks :) I benefitted greatly from the result too, and with such a close call every $ proved important in the end.
