Shipping Soon!!! Books to arrive to me by the end of the week!
about 8 years ago – Mon, Feb 29, 2016 at 11:42:03 PM

Hey folks,

I just worked out shipping arrangements for the leatherbound books. They are done printing and are being shipped out potentially even today. I should have them by the end of the week. I will also have the Brotherhood Membership Cards by early next week.

Those of you who get prints of your characters will have to wait a little. I can ship some but some of the art is still being created for the Player's Guide.

NOW is the time to update your address!

If you have issues with that, please contact [email protected]

I will be locking down the addresses by Thursday so I can start prepping the shipments and purchase postage, so please get that updated.

Thanks everyone! Let me know if you have any questions.

Off to the Press! PoD Now Available! Updates on Supplements
over 8 years ago – Wed, Jan 27, 2016 at 06:39:39 PM

Greetings backers!

The final press proofs have been approved for the Deluxe Edition and has been sent off to the printers!

Print on Demand

The Print on Demand version now comes in both Hardcover and Softcover. If you get a discount link to purchase this at our cost, you are able to pick up both (separate codes though). These have been emailed to all the backers who are receiving this. If you can't find that email, let me know and I should be able to send you your code.

To be clear, you are purchasing these books, at our cost (so no profit to us), and you will pay your own shipping and taxes if applicable.

The public can now buy these books, so tell them to do that! Here's the link: http://drivethrurpg.com/product/169515/Demon-Hunters-A-Comedy-of-Terrors

Don't forget to go to www.demonhuntersrpg.com for more info, links to buy the books, and downloads galore.

Supplements

We are still working on both The Player's Guide and the Burnout! Adventure. Below is a little more information on what we're doing with these:

The Player's Guide

The title of this supplement may change. In fact, I'd probably count on that. :) What we're doing with this is providing an even more quick and dirty way to generate characters. We're talking about expanding archetypes like the ones found on pages 50 & 51 in the main book, which assign your Approaches according to your concept. We might even make that a random rollable table.

Similarly, you'll be able to roll for your d10, d8, and d6 Disciplines.

Here's the big one though. We've heard time and again from people who are new to games based on Fate that utilize Aspects so heavily, that it can be hard to come up with good Aspects. We're going to include A Random Aspect Generator for your Aspects! Roll on tables and plug in your Aspects. We might look at doing something similar for stunts as well. So to recap:

• A Table of Random Archetypes with preassigned Approaches
• Discipline Tables
• A Random Aspect Generator
• A Random Stunt Generator

Additionally you will get:

• 6 Fully statted out new Demon Hunters Teams with backstory. (If you backed at a level that created a Brotherhood Agent or a team, this is where they are going). These teams are canon in the world.
• Compiled TL;DR rules from the main book for quick and easy reference.

This guide should help you throw together character ideas quickly, or just grab a pre-built team and start playing.

I'm also going to try to bribe Thomas Deeny to make an alternate character sheet that is a tent style sheet. If you play a lot of Fate games, you know what I'm talking about.

Burnout! Adventure

This PDF is going to contain an adventure/mission called Burnout!, that utilizes random elements from the tables in the book to change it up. My goal is to include several more in a similar fashion. These will be pretty basic. Expect prefilled Mission Profile Sheets, maybe a few prestatted DMCs, and a basic write-up of story for each mission. The purpose it whet your whistle for adventure ideas and enough info to run it at a moment's notice.

I'm hoping to whip these out quickly, but there's always delays. Expect the Player's Guide first. Not committing to release dates yet but my goal is that the Player's Guide will definitely be out 1st Quarter, and the Adventure PDF will be out early 2nd Quarter. Hopefully sooner, but we'll see.

We want to hear from you! Tell people about the game! Tell US about the game! We would LOVE more reviews at DriveThru:

Progress Report!
over 8 years ago – Mon, Jan 11, 2016 at 09:43:00 PM

Greetings!

The final version of the PDF of the corebook has been uploaded to DrivethruRPG. Those of you getting this should receive an email that there's a new version available.

If you haven't received the PDF yet, check your spam folders, and then message me if you still can't find it. There's an individual code for each of you.

The print on demand version will be uploaded tomorrow! And the deluxe version will be sent to the printers tomorrow! Once the print on demand version is uploaded and ready, I will send all of you who are getting this, links to purchase the book at our cost. Getting the Print on Demand version is a great way to get a hard copy of the book before the Deluxe Leatherbound ships. Again, plan on about 6-8 weeks from tomorrow before I start shipping those leatherbounds. I can't wait to get my hands on that.

HUGE thanks to Sean K. Reynolds who jumped in at the final hours to create a few indices for us and get a glossary sorted out. Hope you find that super helpful.

Downloads

Last night I sent out the character sheet and the Mission Profile sheets (two versions). You can also find those at www.demonhuntersrpg.com/downloads.

What's Next

We are under way in creating the Player's Guide, and the Burnout Adventure will follow. I don't have an ETA yet on those but we're motivated to get them done quickly.

Reviews Needed!

This great book you all funded needs attention! If you wouldn't mind, head over to DriveThruRPG and give our book a review. Tell people what you think! And especially, tell US! We're dying to hear what you think about it, how your games are going, etc. Let us know in the comments, or join us on our Facebook Group - Demon Hunters: The Brotherhood of the Celestial Torch

Gen Con 2016

We are already getting ready for Gen Con 2016. We had over 200 people on a waitlist last year, so we are going to be running a lot more games. That means we need Demon Masters! If you can definitely commit do being a Demon Master for us at Gen Con Indy 2016, we will provide you with a 4-day GM badge for free! If you are interested, please contact me, Don Early, at [email protected]. Serious inquiries only, and will require you to DM 2-3 sessions. 

Okay that's it for now. Glad to finally see some light at the end and to get you folks playing. Spread the word! Share the site: www.demonhuntersrpg.com

Corebook PDF is OUT! Happy Holidays!!!
over 8 years ago – Thu, Dec 24, 2015 at 07:32:51 PM

Hi everyone,

I just sent out the PDF to everyone who gets it from DriveThruRPG. Check your SPAM folders just in case. Hope you enjoy it! We will be updating the PDF to include an index and a glossary soon, but thought I'd get this out for you just in time for the holidays.

We ride!

-Don Early

Happy Holidays! Are we there yet?
over 8 years ago – Thu, Dec 10, 2015 at 09:14:13 PM

What's happening this year?

Very soon (my hope is before Christmas) the PDF and Print on Demand versions of the final book will be available at DriveThruRPG. That means as backers you'll get access to these first. I will distribute the PDF both via BackerKit and via DriveThruRPG.

For those of you who purchased Print on Demand access, or are receiving it as part of your reward, you will receive a discount code to purchase the book at our cost. I estimate that to be approximately $10-$12. I will make available a softcover and a hardcover version. You'll get access to purchase either or both at cost.

Once those go live I will remove them from the Preorder store.

We are still taking Preorders for the deluxe leatherbound hardcover however. So please spread the word! www.demonhuntersrpg.com

When do we get our deluxe books and the rest of our physical rewards?

As soon as I send the print file to the printers, it takes 6 weeks for me to receive them. Then of course I have to assemble all your packages, etc. Luckily I have everything except the books. So I expect to see these on my doorstep early February and I will start fulfillment immediately.

This means that by mid-January you should finalize all your shipping addresses. I will send out an email from backerkit that might say something like "you have 48 hours to update your address" or something like that. Your deadline is:

January 29th, 2016 to finalize your address

Having just shipped over 2000 packages for the Dorkness Rising BluRay Kickstarter, I so have this part down! :) My goal is that I'll have shipped all the rewards by mid February.

Player's Guide, Burnout! Adventure(s), and Wallpaper(s)

Next on the list once we get the book done is the Player's Guide and the Burnout! Adventure.

The Player's Guide

We are working up some great ideas for this. Expect it to be short and concise, but SUPER useful. Additionally we'll be adding all the pregen Brotherhood teams to this. You can expect:

• Character Gen tips
• TL;DR rules summaries
• Team-building/backstory exercises

You can also expect us to reuse art from the main book, cuz I forgot to budget time and money for new art. :P

Burnout! Adventure(s)

This will not be like a traditional adventure module. We're going to give you the story skeletons for several missions/adventures including the title adventure, Burnout!, along with madlibs-style options to swap out elements for things you might roll on the tables in the main book, or utilizing the Gamemasters' Apprentice Demon Hunters cards. The goal is to be able utilize the same scenario but make them entirely different by randomizing or just changing out certain elements. I'll be using the Mission Profile sheets as core with some narrative and explanations.

Expect this to be light, meant to give you a great start on story seeds and some guidance on DMCs. This PDF will also be art-light/using art from the book.

Wallpaper(s)

We presently have one of these. I'd like to get some more put together. We have some terrific black and white art. At any rate I will release those on backerkit as they become available.

New Website

Our new website will be up soon. The URL will remain: www.demonhuntersrpg.com

When the PDF and print on demand files are ready to deliver to you we'll launch the site and I'll send out an update.

Thanks everyone! Hope you get some gaming in this holiday. Talk at you soon!
