Production News and the Statosphere
almost 7 years ago – Tue, May 09, 2017 at 04:12:27 PM

A fulsome Tuesday to all, beloved cabal. It's a little early for our monthly update but there's some news to share.

Digital Supplements to UA3

Here's where we are on these!

• Campaign Starter Kits are still in playtest... all seven of them! I expect the last of the feedback to come in by next week. Then they're in the hands of our terrifyingly adept editor, Colleen.
• Books Four and Five are in Colleen's hands right now, undergoing edits. From there they're going into layout.
• Coming up at the end of the pipeline is the PDF Reference Kit, which shouldn't take too long but includes a full index of the previous material (including CSKs and Books Four and Five) so it's still pending.

The Statosphere

We're almost ready to launch the Statosphere, which is Atlas Games' community content portal for Unknown Armies 3. The Statosphere lets fans and third-party creators create new scenarios, adept schools, archetypes, and more, and publish them via OneBookShelf. Half of all revenue from these products goes straight to the creators. We're excited to start this program, which came about because of YOUR support in the Kickstarter. More news on this as soon as it's live!

The White Box

A reminder also that with only eight days left to go, the White Box— a tidy package of DIY board and card game design elements — is currently underway in Kickstarter, co-helmed by our very own Jeff Tidball. Check it out if haven't yet.

Be well,

Atlas Games's Latest: The White Box
almost 7 years ago – Wed, May 03, 2017 at 04:13:58 PM

Short and sweet, Beloved Cabal:

We want to alert you to The White Box, a Kickstarter campaign we're co-producing with our friends at Gameplaywright.

The White Box is a game design workshop-in-a-box. We want to help people who think game design is awesome get the game ideas out of their heads and onto the table. More details here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jefftidball/the-white-box-a-game-design-workshop-in-a-box

Past that, we hope you're enjoying Unknown Armies, and that your obsessive plans to change the world are coming to glorious fruition. 

Cheers,

—Team Atlas

Update: Publisher Copy of Deluxe Set Arrived!
about 7 years ago – Wed, Mar 15, 2017 at 06:43:55 PM

Beloved cabal,

For some reason, this update never got sent out to all of you. A hiccup in the Kickstarter UI? I got distracted by something in the corner of my eye? Failed notch on Self? Regardless, here's the update that failed to post, from the middle of February. It's got pictures. You'll love it. A newer update goes out later today.

[BEGIN TRANSMISSION]

Fresh off the FedEx truck this morning and waiting for me when I got into the office was a brand-new copy of the Unknown Armies Deluxe Set! I took a few photos to share with all of you. The arrival of this set means Regent, our printer in China, is right on schedule for April delivery of books to our warehouse, which means YOU get them as fast as we can ship them out. Our friends in EU nations get theirs at around the same time thanks to the magick of Kixto. Remember: We take care of you. It's what we do.

And now: photography via the minor ritual of "using an iPhone."

 And of course, as always, feel free to pre-order this and other UA3 products if you missed out or want to get your "friends" a "gift." PRE-ORDERS CLOSE MARCH 28, 2017. That's when we shut it all down and get packing.

All our best,

--Cam and the Unknown Armies production team
