A series of mission books for the smash hit RPG, Never Going Home!
Recently, Brandon had the opportunity to sit down with the crew over at Darker Days Radio to discuss his past work, his experience with gaming, and all things Never Going Home, including the current Kickstarter for the Never Going Home Campaign Dossiers. You can check it out HERE!
Earlier we showed you the cover for Blood on the Snow as a work in progress. Charles sent us the final last night, and it's just sooooooo cool. Check it out!
Charles continues to move forward on interior art for all three books. Like in previous titles, they will be really pushing that feel that they are drawings in a soldier's journal so we'll have a mix of full color pieces and a few black and white images. These look fantastic, and I can't wait to get them on a page.
One of the things that has come up during our conversations about Gallipoli is just how close everything was. We've been going over maps from the era and of things we are including in the campaign, to figure out just what kind of items we'll be including in the book. Here are a couple of examples of the maps we've been looking at to get our juices flowing. Hopefully they'll get you as excited as us nerds over here.
We've been lucky enough to work on some excellent projects with other companies in the past, and we always consider ourselves gamers first and foremost. We've been following these two awesome projects by our friends at Nerdburger Games and Tab Creations. You should check them out if you get a chance.
Capers is a really fun game about gangsters in the 1920's except they all have super powers. What's not to like? It's been nominated for a few Indie Groundbreaker Awards and won a Bamfsies Judges spotlight award in 2018. It's a really fun setting to both write for and play.
You can follow along HERE
Our friends at Tab Creations have a project for what they're calling a "forward-facing" fantasy game where magic and technology are moving the fantasy setting out of the standard fantasy genre into something new. This is a really cool project and we can't wait to see this one brought to life.
You can follow that one HERE
We had a fantastic time with Brendan Carrion of Full Metal RPG the other day. We had the opportunity to talk about all the new stuff in the Campaign Dossiers and dive into some of the great memories we had of the wild ride it's been since the first Never Going Home campaign. Take a listen to it RIGHT HERE!!!
We promised you a sneak peek at some of the new art Charles is working on for the new books, and what better to show than the work in progress shot of the cover to Blood on the Snow!?! So without further ado, here it is, fresh from the clipboard of Charles Ferguson-Avery!
You all are awesome. We love our community and it's great to see that there is so much support, both from newcomers to the game and those who have enjoyed our products in the past. As a special THANK YOU, we'll be posting some sneak preview art tonight or early tomorrow. We have something cool planned for all backers if we make it to 300, so keep spreading the word.
We'll be on the Random World Q&A tonight! If you don't know Random Worlds, it used to be called the RPG.net Q&A. We tend to do these with each of our campaigns to give you all an opportunity to ask us pretty much anything about the current project, past projects we've worked on, our experience in the industry, or pretty much whatever you want. We love hearing from you all, so hop on tonight if you get the chance.
[Q&A] #randomworlds welcomes Brandon K. Aten (Never Going Home Campaign Dossiers) 01/21/2020 7:30 p.m. CST!
