Our update today is another preview of one of our NGS settings: Gods Above Us. The world of Gods Above Us finds ambivalent heroes of small number but incredible power working against both villains and the normal humans who take to the streets as Vigilantes to emulate them. Our preview today is the introduction offered in the NGS book to that world. This story of a simple man forced to extraordinary measures shows the tone of a world of unforgiving Gods Above Us.

Today we have another preview from one of the settings in the NGS book. This is the map of the United States from Destiny Undone: How the West Was Lost. This weird western setting features seceding territories in the iron grip of robber barons, bloodthirsty Aztecs spilling across the border of Texas, Native American spirit magic and the awesome clash of technology between Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla. This isn’t your Great, Great, Great Grandfather’s Old West!

Today we bring you another designer discussion. This one finds our designers talking about the creation of Destiny Undone: How the West was Lost. What I love about this story is how much a setting can change based on the input of the group. By working together you send the creativity of the group into overdrive. This setting was a great example of how we ended at a much stronger and more compelling setting than where we started. Destiny Undone will be featured in the NGS book and we can’t wait until you get to experience the world!

We have hit our first Stretch Goal, and that means the Samurai Steam setting is included in the final NGS book.

Yesterday we achieved our original funding goal and we are well on our way to our first stretch goal. As a special preview, I wanted to talk about the 4 base settings of the NGS book. The NGS book will contain these 4 settings PLUS any setting from a backer at the World Builder tier. All stretch goal settings we achieve, such as Samurai Steam, will also be in the NGS book. So every time we add a setting through a World Builder or Stretch Goal, everyone benefits!

Our update today is another of our NGS Fundamentals podcast. This session finds our designers discussing some of their favorite moments from the various playtests. Listening to this again, it reminds me just how fast, fun and easy it is to have cinematic scenes in NGS. The rules-light nature of the system means the mechanics are always in the background with narrative right up front. That lets you set more exciting scenes and share more exciting stories. We hope you enjoy!

It's Friday and today we have a fun update for you. We hope you like our Kickstarter video, but as with any movie, we didn’t exactly get it in one take. Click below to see some of the (hopefully) hilarious Outtakes.
There is a single curse word in the video, someone says D&@*-It in response to something, but we kept it clean otherwise.
Hope you find it as funny as we did. Please give the video a like if you enjoy it and share it on your social media platform of choice.
Today our update is a podcast discussion between our Lead Designer (Vincent Venturella) and another of our designers (Ryan Dickerson). They discuss some of the initial inspiration that led them to create the game, the challenges of character making and what they hope to achieve within this rules-light system.
