Shotguns & Sorcery Kickstarter Launch

Hello folks! The big day is here! We've been working on this for months and we're excited to announce the launch of the Kickstarter for the Shotguns & Sorcery RPG! This is your chance to help us fund the project and publish it, not to mention get your hands on the game itself. There are a lot of incredible things happening with this - first off, Matt Forbeck, the creator himself, will be handling the majority of the writing chores on this. And to round out the writing team is amazing game designer Robert Schwalb to help integrate the rules system. I don't think we could have possibly found a more amazing team! We're also the first third-party publisher to license the Cypher System from Monte Cook Games, which just by itself is pretty amazing. We're really excited to be working with MCG and integrating the Cypher System with Matt's setting. This is also going to be one of the first books I'm fully illustrating myself! I can't wait to dive into the work. We're also revealing the full color version of the cover as well - full art by me. Check it out below - S&S_Cover_72_Colors_02 Here is some information about the project as well -

Outland Entertainment wants to make it possible for others to explore the fantasy noir stories of author Matt Forbeck's Dragon City through the Cypher System, the game engine behind the Origins and ENnies Award winning games Numenera and The Strange. Whether you are playing as your favorite character or unraveling their mysteries for the first time, this hardcover, 300-page core book with 20 pages of full color artwork includes all the rules for game play, allowing you to explore Dragon City and its outskirts as never before.

Shotguns & Sorcery will be the first third-party standalone game to use the rules system featured in Numenera, The Strange, and the just announced Cypher System rulebook. You don't need to purchase any other books to play.

In a way, this is full circle for Matt and Monte. They first worked together back in 1990 on one of Monte's first assignments as the Hero System editor at Iron Crown Enterprises, editing Matt's Western Hero sourcebook. We're extremely excited to have them joining forces—even indirectly—again!

We also have acclaimed game designer Robert Schwalb on board to help integrate the Cypher System seamlessly with our setting! Robert came to us highly recommended by both Monte Cook Games and Matt. In fact, readers may recognize him as a contributor to the Numenera Character Options and Technology Compendium: Sir Arthour’s Guide to the Numenera. He also has years and years of experience working on Dungeons & Dragons, A Song of Ice and Fire Roleplaying, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, and his upcoming Shadow of the Demon Lord. We're extremely fortunate to be working with such talent!

Let us know what you think about the project and please, help us fund it! JM
