Well, cats and kittens, I'm back for a little bit. I just finished writing the RPG I've been working on for the last, oh, 5 years, and it's for sale!

The website www.aetheronline.net is up! There's been a temp site up for sometime now, but the official site is up, and the system is due out on April 1st! For now, you can sign up for a Pre-Release of the Source Book, the one and only book you need to run the game. The Pre-Release is a special book which will be retired at Midnight on March 22nd (Central Time) and it will never be sold again.

The Pre-Release has a special cover, each one is hand signed and numbered, and each comes with a numbered certificate of authenticity, and it's cheaper than the Source Book will be when it hits shelves! 117 pages of rules, description, and mechanics.

The Pre-Release is for sale on Ebay. You can find it under my seller's page, Here. It's the only item I have for sale and until I get more points I'm just going to keep rotating auctions in and out as they are bought.

I don't know about shipping costs to you international folks, but I imagine I'll still be able to send it for the mere $19 (US) that the book is listed for.

Sign up today, all you gamers, sign up and get what might just become the next big thing in gaming! Even if the system ends up going nowhere, you'll still have a collectable book, a fun system to play, and something that is rare and unique in the world today; an RPG that was designed by someone who actually loves gaming more than money.
 
Thanks, Abs!

Much as I loved doing that project, and I'm still working on other stuff, adventures, more books, etc, it really cut into my time for working on the stuff I had out here. I have some really angry letters from some schmuck named "Annonymus" that keeps telling me I should finish the story lines I have in progress.

Maybe I will..... :devil:

...but then....maybe I won't......

Tell Anon you have a life and suggest he/she gets one too. :cool:

:D Sounds like a plan.

Still, I should probably get a Cherry Hill story finished and sent off to Red, and maybe get another story or two finished....maybe today. Writing 10 to 12 pages of game mechanics has become fairly standard for me in a day, story writing should come even easier.

No pun intended. I think.
 
Congrats Darkness! Well done!

Designed an RPG of my own about a decade ago. The project was aborted when I went insane. I should take another look at it one of these days.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Nice to see I'm not the only RP geek around..

I thought insanity was a pre-req. for designing a system....after going through it, I think you'd about have to be.

Angel....there's a lot of us hiding out here.....it's just hard to see us under all the hardcore, fetish, taboo writings we submit.

Congratulations!

Thanks, Sarah and Apple!

If you're interested in it, there's only 38 hours and 43 minutes to get the Pre-Release copy before it goes off the market forever!

Get it here before it's taken off the market forever!

The link goes to my seller's page and from there you can hit the auction!

That is the most succinct, accurate, and universal description of software product failure that I've ever seen. Oh, would that many other projects had been aborted at the same juncture. :rose:

Congrats, Darkness!
I'm an EQ junkie - I don't know if I can afford another habit, but I'll take a look!

At $19.00 (US), you really can't go wrong, can you? Hell, most of us have more than that in the couch cushions....or in the cushions of the couches of our friends....either way, you can't loose!

It'll be in the market for another 25 hours, give or take 10 minutes from this post, then the Pre-Release copy will be retired and you'll have to wait until April 1st to get a copy, and that one costs more and isn't nearly as cool!
