A new HYPERBOREA T-shirt is one of the add-on options that will be available when we launch the AS&SH 2E Kickstarter this Friday, October 21. This grey shirt will feature the art of Val Semeiks and the colours of Daisey Bingham. Here is a mock-up design of the shirt:

Jason Sholtis is a man who really enjoys exploring the "weird fantasy" aspect of Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea, so it was with little hesitation that I assigned to him a series of monster illustrations inspired by H.P. Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith. Here is Jason's rendition of the Great Race of Yith -- weird, alien beings that were featured in HPL's novella, The Shadow Out of Time.

Val Semeiks is doing phenomenal work for the Second Edition of Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea. This pencil sketch called "Ossuary" is a work-in-progress in which our Atlantean thief needs just a little more rope...

Is there a release time? I ask because it seems that I always miss out on any early specials for backing.

Carpe DM!

There are no "early bird" specials if that's what you mean; however, the upper tier pledges -- the ones for original art pieces from the game -- are of limited supply.

Here is my plan. I am going to get to bed early tonight. I will get up early, make a cup of coffee, reread the entire Kickstarter page one last time to make sure everything is clearly explained, and then I will hit launch. This could be about 6:15 to 6:30am-ish Eastern Time. Thanks for your interest!

Dude, this project is crushing it! In under four hours, you're at $20K, which hit the funding goal and the first two stretch goals!

Congrats!

Guard well the secret of steel, Mr Manowar...

The secret is guarded to somewhat extent. However, I have shared the link to this new Kickstarter with all in my gaming group to back this, I DID! Great work, see you in a couple weeks.

New art has rolled in for the Second Edition of Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea (Kickstarter live now!). This piece, originally pencilled and inked by Val Semeiks (Conan the Barbarian, Lobo, Wolverine), has now been colored by Daisey Bingham. This picture will serve as a frontispiece for Volume III: Adventure & Combat. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! ~Jeff T.

If this Amazon paladin of Artemis found herself in the zombie apocalypse, I scarcely believe she would fare as poorly as Rick Grimes and company. This heroine has strength of steel, indomitable resolve, and mystic sorcery to turn the undead! She would be victorious. Illustration by Del Teigeler!

Please support our Kickstarter campaign for the Second Edition of Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea, live right now!
