This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Limited Hardcover Update

Limited Hardcover Update
I was so impressed by the overall quality of the proof copy, that I went ahead and secured THE three copies before the printer encounters any sort of material shortage, or price change. These copies will remain sealed until you place your order, so then they can be customized and shipped to you while cutting approximately two weeks of wait time. This means you could receive your specialty limited and signed copy in as low as six business days (depending on location), once inventory is ready and available. All books ship with tracking, so you can have confidence and peace of mind knowing exactly where your copy is at all times as it makes your way to you.

The video above showcases the proof copy. Though, I must emphasize there's absolutely nothing like being able to hold this solid, perfectly made hardcover in your own hands. Another reason why I went with 'limited' to keep it extra special for fans, collectors, and those who really wish to support me while receiving something of value in return.

Nice presentations! What are you doing to increase actual play of your games?

Thank you! Great question...
During my hiatus, I took a step back and reproached K&L from many different angles. What I valued the most about the game was it's freedom to forge your own path. However, with the original Knights & Legends some buyers complained about a lack of guidance towards the setting. To remedy that, I created a fairly small adventure trilogy. While it worked quite well, some expressed the adventures were too linear.

Now, here's the impressive thing about the original K&L. It still selling today, 3 years past it's original release. These sales are largely driven by fans spreading the word both in the US and EU. That's a great thing, and here's why. The game appeals to a specific type of crowd, and that's somewhat of what I aimed for from the get go. Even while I was focused in some other projects the fanbase keeps growing, slowly but surely.

With Dark Ink, the goal is to keep expanding the game's reach with a highly immersive setting, by giving current and new fans the ultimate experience. Details that can only be acquired with time, research, and experience. Since 2016 my understanding of the community has expanded greatly. This facilitates communication a lot. And with my supporters previous investment, today I am able to deliver bolder, bigger and better products. Game Masters will have a much easier time setting up quests and adventures with the remodeled core rules. And this time around, players will benefit from a lore rich immersive tale before even hopping into the world itself. This will give an even deeper meaning to playing K&L in general. All while keeping the game's much valued element of freedom, and introducing numerous new ideas.

Limited Hardcover Update #2
Sharing with you some more screenshots I couldn't include in the video, due to its minute long length.
On average, people will rarely engage with a video until the very last frame. I'm one of those. By keeping videos short, it's one way to transmit the message across effectively. This saves both mine and viewers time, in an era where every minute is most precious. Enjoy the preview! The limited hardcover is available for preorder at https://knightstabletoprpg.com/knights-legends-dark-ink-3e-limited/ or catch it digital at dtrpg on 09-02-21.

Shotguns & Zombies: Zero Hour Promo
« Reply #19 on: August 29, 2021, 11:46:54 AM »
Shotguns & Zombies: Zero Hour | New Promo
In case you've missed the first update, here's a perfect chance to catch up. Go above and beyond when you leave the video a like.
Your support is appreciated!



S&Z, is a semi-apocalyptic tactical ops survival horror TRPG/3D game. Much of its influence comes from the current state of the world, and imagining a not too distant future where civilizations all over the globe have collapsed. Not only that, the modern aspects of the game allow its expansion to a broader audience. However, it still isn't recommended for everyone.

In comparison to Knights & Legends, which delivers an accurate dark fantasy medieval experience, Shotguns & Zombies allows the players to invent and explore new ideas without any boundaries. That means you're free to play in 'modern times' or you can take it a step further into a post apocalyptic setting without drastically changing the game's rules.

Shotguns & Zombies: Zero Hour, focus in modern days weaponry, bio-warfare, private military companies (PMCs), and constant grasp for power. E.g. you could invade another PMC's base in order to acquire weaponry and med kits. You could achieve that by using brute force, or taking a stealth approach. All of that while you dealing with the biological aspects of things, face the infected, experiment with human genomes, build your own PMC, expand ranks, customize weapons, etc.

With the exception of the 3D game, the tabletop rpg version requires two players minimum to work as intended, there's no limits to the size of the table. Play online with 10+ people should you wish, split then into different factions. The game focus in team work. Highlighting rankings, different pay rates, and much more.

To play it, it will require a small amount of prep first. The 3D game included is the fastest way to understand the vision and direction for the game. It could even be used to rank players depending how well they perform in the mission. The GM is responsible for putting the desired setting together, or he/she can continue from where the 3D game left off.

I'll be talking a bit more about it when we get closer to the November 18th, release date. Meanwhile, you can catch a glimpse of the settings and world in this PDF Demo. Be advised the demo is not meant for playtesting, releasing the full set of rules would imply giving away the game's secrets to copycats, competitors, etc. Remember where you read it first, and thank you for your understanding.   

Like all of my games, Shotguns & Zombies: Zero Hour will require your full support in order to stand on its feet. You'll be able to purchase the game from DTRPG and Itch e-stores. Unlike Knights & Legends: Dawn of a New Age, both stores will feature the same version of the game. Let's turn this game into another best seller so I can continue developing this new adventure further, alongside your feedback.

Knights & Legends: Dark Ink 3e
« Reply #20 on: September 01, 2021, 12:23:07 PM »
Knighs & Legends: Dark Ink 3e Will Be Here Soon!




If you're a fan of all things medieval and mythological, then Knights & Legends: Dark Ink is for you. Thanks to the rpg community, today I am able to continue creating the games you love to play. As I make a push to extend the K&L saga into the video game industry, continue to expect greater and better things.

As a reminder, the three limited specialty hardcover editions are making their way to me so I can ship them in as little as 48hrs. This drastically cuts lengthy wait times by nearly 3 weeks. Since there are only three of these specialty hardcovers, they're being sold for a premium through the game's website. Not only it's a way to keep them for who truly wants them (e.g collectors, diehard fans, supporters), it's a unique way to keep a rare quality product in your possession. Once they're gone they're gone. It's only natural you wait for the cheaper digital edition first, and I've been receiving requests to hold copies. Unfortunately I can't do that, first come first serve, one copy per costumer. As of right now, all three remain available, and there's no guarantee of when they'll be gone. Secure yours at your earliest convenience!


Support Your Dev, Help End Piracy!
With a little less than 24hrs for Dark Ink's release, I'd like to briefly remind everyone how harmful piracy can be. It's only natural buyers want to share their newest acquisition with friends, both in real life and on the internet. If you're like the average person who understands your purchase is solely meant to one proprietor, you, then you're my favorite kind of costumer. Unfortunately, there was a great deal of piracy happening with classic K&L, including in popular and less popular websites. I understand it only feels right to share your copies with friends, but please remind them if they want to see K&L grow further, then they need to purchase their own copy. That's why I'm making Knights & Legends: Dark Ink affordable to everyone.


Let's Stop Libel Together
You can help by reporting inappropriate, offensive, damaging, and/or defamatory content.
It's no secret I've been a victim of libel in the past. Some offenders were kindly asked to stop, and most did. Unfortunately some choose to persist. Inspired by Jon Del Arroz' case, I'm glad to announce someone else will be handling these. This is a very important step in other promote a friendlier and healthier community. It comes with success, success you as a loyal supporter helped create.


Thank You
As usual, I thank all my fans for your continued support. I sincerely hope you enjoy your adventures through the perilous world of Ezora!

Highlighting Some Hesitancy I've Encountered With Potential Costumers
I've submitted an important e-mail to my fanbase that experienced some formatting issues, but here's a copy I want to share with you guys viewing this thread. Unfortunately human error can, and will occasionally happen. <p> was replaced by <div> and the whole e-mail was one huge wall of text. My bad!

The Message

Dear friend, I'm reaching out to address some common concerns some potential customers are having regarding Knights & Legends: Dark Ink 3e.

You'll see me active on numerous social media websites, including reddit (yikes). One thing in common has been trending among these social media platforms. Hesitancy to buy the latest core book under the claim of not enough content to preview. As you may already know, Knights & Legends has been a best selling series for 4 consecutive years, here on dtrpg.

I can't show a whole lot more, due to fears of exposing my newest product to plagiarism artists. For $5, there's not much at stake imho. You either like it, or you don't. But with 4 consecutive years of best selling products, can you really go wrong?

Knights & Legends: Dark Ink 3e is the 8th wonder of the world. It's a bold statement I know. I am confident you'll like it. But also, there is an important factor at play. If Dark Ink doesn't reach Gold Best Seller within the next two years, I'll no longer be able to continue producing great games like these, because to make quality content like Dark Ink, is taking a significant amount of time and capital. Today, from Dark Ink onward expect nothing less than top quality products. Compare it to other popular trpgs that have been circulating around for many years.

Please take advantage of this coupon and save while mutually supporting your favorite indie dev! I certainly would love to hear your opinion, did you know you can leave a review after 24hrs of your purchase? Your feedback is important.

Sincerely,
Felix, J.

A quick example of the type of individuals I do not wish to have, or acknowledge as costumers
Few days ago I went to r/rpg to spread the word about my latest release. As expected, this type of behavior is often what I'll encounter. It's a good way to stay in the loop of who said what, etc. I'll assume these are teenagers, I certainly don't think an adult in this hobby would behave in such manner. My job in the community is to contribute with quality content that you can enjoy with friends, not deal with abuse. I am certain the community in general, has a lot more to offer than this. Enjoy the holiday weekend, and support your favorite dev!

Idk but if Knights & Legends: Dark Ink 3e reaches bestseller in less than a week, I’m considering rewarding one of my supporters with a free hardcover. Who will it be!? Buy it digital and save your order number while I think about it. There’s a catch, US only.
