Latest Updates from Our Project:

Coming Soon: Path of Adventure
about 7 years ago – Mon, Feb 20, 2017 at 10:03:20 PM

The artwork for the fourth deck of Storypath Cards is 100% complete and Path of Adventure is now in layout. The project continues to lag behind my estimates, but we do continue to make progress! Just one more deck, Path of Morality, to go and then all five decks will go to press.

Here's the back of card artwork for Path of Adventure. Fans of old D&D and fans of new Stranger Things should both be pleased with the content (though only the D&D fans will know the events this artwork suggests)! PDF links to the print-and-play decks will be sent as soon as layout is complete and the files have been uploaded to DTRPG.

Path of Hope!

Horror and Intrigue can now be balanced by a bit of Hope!

Make good use of that last arrow!

Look for an email from BackerKit with your instructions (basically, your link!) to download the new Path of Hope from DTRPG. This is an especially exciting release because this is the first entirely new deck of Storypath Cards since the 1990 originals.

Coming next is Path of Adventure. All of the artwork for this is expected prior to the end of the year and we'll work double-time to deliver the PDF by the New Year as well.

Enjoy the Path of Hope!

Instructions for Horror and Intrigue Links!
over 7 years ago – Mon, Oct 10, 2016 at 09:04:24 PM

Immediately after I send this brief update I'll blast the emails from BackerKit that include links for your PDFs of Paths Horror and Intrigue. If you don't receive an email from BackerKit with your link to DTRPG, then you can check for links on your BackerKit account. You can access your survey here:

https://storypath-cards.backerkit.com/

You should find a link to Download Digital Rewards.

If none of this works, then please contact me and I'll sort things out with/for you.

Enjoy your first decks of new Storypath Cards!

Meanwhile...

 

Voyage of Fortune's Star

If you play video games, then you might be interested in my current Kickstarter project for a single-player, story-driven computer roleplaying game based on John Wick's smash-success TTRPG 7th Sea.

Two weeks remain for this cRPG project, and as the game I'm writing is a story-driven adventure, I thought it might appeal to gamers like you who obviously appreciate story in games!

I'm grateful for all your support on Kickstarter. It's fantastic to be making games again.

Important Update & Digital Delivery Begins
over 7 years ago – Thu, Oct 06, 2016 at 08:24:19 PM

First, I’m delighted to share the back cover art for Path of Intrigue!

You’ll soon see a lot more of this vampire and his secret message…

Paths of Horror and Intrigue PDF

…because within a couple days you’ll receive notice via BackerKit that the Path of Horror and Path of Intrigue PDFs are ready for download. There will be two PNP files per deck, one in color and the other in ink-saving B&W.

On the near horizon is the final deck of Whimsy Cards with new cards from backers of this project.

The Schedule

I regret that the release schedule for these cards has taken quite a hit. This is largely because I didn’t account for how much time it would take to design the Path of Morality and I allowed the entire release schedule slide as a result. All cogs are firing to get these cards to you as quickly as possible and the Path of Hope PDF is getting close.

By Way of Apology

To compensate you for the time lost, I’m reconfiguring the decks so that each one is a complete deck of 36 cards. This means I’m phasing out the Climax Expansion Set that I offered for $5 as an add-on in the pledge manager. Everyone who opted to purchase this expansion will receive a credit to their account before payment is processed, and those who didn’t add this expansion will receive the cards anyway as part of the decks that are among your rewards.

This change will ultimately save production and fulfillment time as well as there’s not a separate item to print and track, so you save money and the production process saves time.

Finally, as part of the process of applying the credit to your accounts for the expansion set, I’ll process the BackerKit orders tomorrow, Friday October 7th.

Thanks for your patience. The cards begin delivery soon!

Path of Hope Card Back

Wow! I just received this great illustration and can't wait to share it. So, I'm not waiting! Here's the artwork for the back of the cards in the Path of Hope. As I mentioned before, this heroic archer is down to her final arrow!

Remember, your amazing support for this project funded this new artwork as a stretch goal. Thanks!

 

I have received a number of questions about the Path of Chivalry that's part of the current project for Prince Valiant® The Storytelling Game. This deck of Storypath Cards is only offered in print (except as part of the $30 pledge for the PDF of Prince Valiant and King Arthur Pendragon). The PDF will eventually be available for $5 as part of the pledge manager for Prince Valiant® The Storytelling Game. So, if you'd like the PDF, then please pledge $5 to this project for "no reward" and you can later apply that to the Path of Chivalry.

If you'd like the deck in print, then it's available as part of a number of different pledge levels, including new pledge levels that also offer a new version of the acclaimed Once Upon a Time card game featuring artwork by Prince Valiant® creator Hal Foster. Once Upon a Time in Camelot and Path of Chivalry are available together in print for a $35 pledge as part of the Card Collector pledge level.

If you have any other questions, then please message me. Also note that the Prince Valiant project ends this Friday.
