Newt Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 So River of Heaven, what’s going on with that then? Well first off its ‘s John Ossoway’s (Cthulhu Rising/Savage North) D100 Sci-Fi magnum opus. Its sat on my harddrive ready to go into layout, we just need art. Art which is the mighty Peter Frain (Fate System Toolkit, Duty & Honour) is going to do. Art which if the game successfully crowd sources will be numerous and colourised Oh and we have a ‘soundtrack’ done by the immeasurably talented Keef Baker . Its awesome, I’m listening to it now All wrapped up with a lovely cover by Jon Hodgson (Cubicle 7 art supremo, One Ring etc). Its been a good 4 years in the making. When can you get it? As soon as the crowdfunding campaign funds all backers will get the sans-art draft in pdf, with delivery date of early Summer 2014 for the full game. The River of Heaven starts flowing on 1st Jan 2014 on either Kickstarter or IndieGoGo (still deciding which works best for it). Check back here for more updates.

Guest Vile Traveller Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Thank Grud for that - I don't think the better half would have been too keen on further pre-Xmas expenditure on my part ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedopon Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Thank Grud for that - I don't think the better half would have been too keen on further pre-Xmas expenditure on my part ...

prongbuck Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I don't see any river flowing on either kickstarter or indiegogo. Any news on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newt Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) I figured without Kickstarter's approval process, so its all there and ready to go. I guess it will go live sometime next week. While you wait here's the campaign's video.

Guest Vile Traveller Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Sold. But then I was when John first started talking about it on the Cthulhu Rising forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newt Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 No. Like The Company and any other OpenQuest derived games or supplements it will contain no new Open Game Content.

rust Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 The River of Heaven Kickstarter is up and running, but Kickstarter only accepts credit cards, which I do not have - never needed one ...

Newt Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 The River of Heaven Kickstarter is up and running, but Kickstarter only accepts credit cards, which I do not have - never needed one ... Sorry about this, I forgot Kickstarter UK doesn't have the option for paypal etc. I look into what I can do about this. Watch this space.

NickMiddleton Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Thank god you went for the long duration on the campaign - I WILL be backing this, but I am UTTERLY skint until at least the end of Jan! Really glad the campaign has started though. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newt Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Yup that's why I went for the long campaign Quote Head Honcho of D101 GamesPublisher of Crypts and Things/Monkey/OpenQuest/River of HeavenThe Sorcerer Under the Mountain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rust Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Sorry about this ... No need to be sorry, it is not your fault. Well, I really want to support this project, so if Kickstarter remains unable to accept my money, I could perhaps just as well send it to your firm's bank account instead.

Vorax Transtellaris Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 The River of Heaven Kickstarter is up and running, but Kickstarter only accepts credit cards, which I do not have - never needed one ... I have the same problem. Luckily my brother allows me to use his credit card. There have been KS campaigns where it was possible to donate directly to thenpublisher through PayPal after the campaign had ended. I did that with Achtung! Cthulhu from Modiphius, because at that time I couldn't use a credit card yet. Perhaps Newt could do something similar. Anyways, I'm in for a hardcover. Are there plans for any fun add-ons to whip us into upping our pledges? Quote RPGbericht (Dutch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Vile Traveller Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Arck, I need to spend some time in front of my home PC so I can get in on this! Damn work and real life and all that nonsense. Well, I really want to support this project, so if Kickstarter remains unable to accept my money, I could perhaps just as well send it to your firm's bank account instead.Careful, Newt. Better check rust's ip address location, he's starting to sound like one of those dodgy emails I find in my spam filter ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hopcroft Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 How to pledges from North America work? I backed the kickstarter for the Canadian Costume Fairy Adventures RPG (which yo should look into as a change-of-pace game sometime because it's really, genuinely funny), and I ended up paying a bit extra for the privilege of sending them US dollars that they converted into Canadian ones (and later on international shipping when I upgraded my pledge to include a lot of printed products). I'm going to want a print copy if I back this, assuming you can get the POD release to work out, so I have to figure out how much to pledge without quite knowing how much I will actually be spending given the exchange rate....

TrippyHippy Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I'm still making up my mind whether to get the hardcopy of this. Fortunately the long campaign gives me plenty of time to ruminate on upgrading from the pdf copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
