Earlier today we blew through our first stretch goal, unlocking a short scenario that follows up on one of the many plot threads in Jovian Whispers. It will be provided in PDF, free to all backers!
As a reminder, the next stretch goal unlocks a poster map of the Sol and Jovian systems! It will be provided free to all backers in a high resolution image format, and will be available in print as an add-on.
This goal may also be unlocked as part of our Patreon Challenge! That is, we have a Patreon where every three months we release an adventure or other supplement for the Shadows Over Sol, Age of Ambition or one of our other game lines. If we can increase our Patreon to 30 patrons, the goal will be unlocked.
That's just two more patrons!
Keep up the good work spreading the word about the game!
Featured Preview: Campaign Structure
Jovian Whispers is a combined sourcebook and campaign. It will feature a detailed look at the Jovian colonies and Insurrection Virus. This is followed by a complete campaign arc that will bring characters from the action-packed launch, running Unitech's blockade of Jupiter, to the chilling finale as they confront the horror lurking in the dark.
The campaign is going to be structured similarly to the “Plot Point” campaigns released by Pinnacle Entertainment and a number of other companies. This means that there will be a core campaign arc, which tells the big story of Jovian exploration in the background, but it is constructed in a way that gives GMs the freedom to write and run their own stories in the foreground.
Essentially there are a number of pivotal events and scenarios that drive the core story arc forward, but these are intended to be interspersed between other adventures. These interspersed scenarios can either be written by the GM to suit the players, or the GM can pick one of the many “side treks” that will be included in the book.
That's a lot of dark sci-fi gaming!
