If you haven't heard, click that link and check it out, then come back here, we'll wait. The long and short is that this program provides a way for anyone to publish and sell game materials using the Savage Worlds system on DriveThruRPG.<br /><br />We think that's a great idea, but the system doesn't provide a built-in way for people to publish materials for settings that are already out there. We also suspect that there might be a few folks who dig Accursed and would like to be able to publish their own creations for it. This might include things like Banes, NPCs, adventures, or even entire Witchlines.<br /><br />We'd love to see that happen.<br /><br />If you're interested in writing Accursed materials for SWAG, drop a line to info@meliorvia.com and we'll get you straightened out.

This adventure clocks in at 10 pages and features two new pieces of artwork from Alberto Bontempi. <br /><br /><img alt="Image" class="postimage" height="400" src="https://s26.postimg.org/z9x4d34dl/Echidna.gif" width="282" /><br /><br />In an unusual turn of events, the Gorgon has chosen to enlist mortal agents in her feud with the Dark Queen. The full reasons for her request remain a mystery, but the information she shares is earnest and her offer to cooperate is sincere. Melusine wishes to see Hecate removed from Morden. She is willing to make concessions to the region’s mortal inhabitants—including Accursed belonging to the Order of the Penitent—if they assist her. This alliance of convenience could lead to a tremendous opportunity for the Order, but it is not without risk.<br /><br /><a class="postlink" href="http://goo.gl/Jt76Yd">It's now available for $2.50 from DriveThruRPG.</a>John Dunnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16328917524930224973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2911125500646161588.post-55561376828661209322016-12-20T09:56:00.000-05:002016-12-20T09:56:57.373-05:00Year End Wrap-UpHappy Holidays, to all of our readers.<br /><br /><h3>Season of the Witch </h3>As the calendar winds down, we found time to squeeze in one last release. Every year, John's home game has one session devoted to eating too much food and an over top adventure that's in keeping with the very worst of very special Christmas episodes of ongoing TV series. It's particularly effective when the current campaign has nothing at all to do with Christmas. In keeping with that theme, Ross wrote up a new Accursed 1-sheet entitled "<a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/200989/Accursed-Season-of-the-Witch?affiliate_id=333550" target="_blank">Season of the Witch</a>." Here's the background:<br /><br />An idealistic young girl sets out to prove that the celebration of Evergreen Night is for everyone, even the reclusive and infamous Frau Pechta. The Penitents are asked to bring the girl back to her family before Frau Pechta’s inhuman hunger brings a grisly end to the holiday! Can the Accursed handle a sugar-spun stronghold, candy-frosted banes, and the spirit of the season?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/200989/Accursed-Season-of-the-Witch?affiliate_id=333550" target="_blank"><img alt="www.drivethrurpg.com/product/200989/Accursed-Season-of-the-Witch?affiliate_id=333550" border="0" src="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/images/3561/200989.jpg" height="320" width="247" /></a></div><a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/200989/Accursed-Season-of-the-Witch?affiliate_id=333550" target="_blank">Season of the Witch is now available from DriveThruRPG</a>.

Backers should already have a coupon in their inboxes, and the PDF is now available for everyone on <a class="postlink" href="http://goo.gl/uCpH9a">DriveThruRPG</a>.<br /><br />Manreia did not suffer any battles within its borders during the Bane War, but the nation still suffered grievous losses. She sent many soldiers and vast stories of supplies to aid the Army of Light in its battles. Since the war ended and Manreia surrendered, she has had to struggle under the Witches' tyranny, living in a turmoil that even Manreian ingenuity cannot overcome.<br /><br />Refugees who left Manreian camps often boarded ships that carried them to the islands of the Discordian Sea. Most met with disaster, but a few have managed to survive on one of the many islands. Their lives are little easier than the ones they left behind, but at least they are less likely to directly encounter banes.<br /><br />Science and Sea provides additional information about the nation of Manreia and life on the Discordian Sea within Accursed's setting of Morden. It includes a broad range of different adventure hooks for GMs and players looking to explore these specific regions. It also introduces new banes as well as Hindrances and Edges specific to these cultures.<br /><br />For anyone who didn't back the Kickstarter, the ebook is now available for <a class="postlink" href="http://goo.gl/uCpH9a">$6 in PDF from DriveThruRPG</a>.<br /><br />Melior Via is currently participating in the DriveThru GM's day sale as well.

Ever since it became independent, the two nations have maintained a strong rivalry. In the wake of the Bane War, both countries struggle to survive. Their homes were the core battlefront. Their land was devestated and countless lives lost. Now, they soldier on under the tyranny of the Blood Witch and Baba Yaga.<br /><br /> <i>Frost and Fang</i> provides additional information about the nations of Steppengrad and Valkenholm within Accursed's setting of Morden. It includes a broad range of different adventure hooks for GMs and players looking to explore these specific regions. It also introduces new banes as well as Hindrances and Edges specific to these cultures.<br /><br />Mike Brodu's map of Aziev:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://s26.postimg.org/7mwerm0ix/Aziev_for_Web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://s26.postimg.org/7mwerm0ix/Aziev_for_Web.jpg" height="210" width="320" /></a></div>Elif Siebenpfeiffer's illustration of the Watch in Valkenholm:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://s26.postimg.org/z01lmd73d/The_Watch_for_Web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://s26.postimg.org/z01lmd73d/The_Watch_for_Web.jpg" height="320" width="224" /></a></div><br /><br /><br />For people who didn't back the Kickstarter, the ebook is now available for<a href="http://goo.gl/Bq9IPD"> $6 in PDF from DriveThruRPG</a>.<br /><br /><h2>Upcoming Releases</h2>With <i>Frost and Fang</i> out, we're now concentrating on finishing up <i>Science and Sea</i>, the next release in the World of Morden series. This ebook focuses on the nation of Manreia and the dangers of the Discordian Sea. We're aiming to get that one completed and out in March of 2016. <i>Bone and Barrow</i> will follow that, presenting Cairn Kainen and the Outlands.

Stretch Goals in ProgressWe've made great progress in just a few days, and we're now crested the $4000 mark. The first stretch goal – <i>Science and the Sea</i>, featuring Manreia and the Discordian Sea – is firmly in our sights. We appreciate your contributions to date, but we're going to need continued help spreading the word about the project. Don't forget, as we hit stretch goals, your pledges become more valuable.<br /><br /><br /><a name='more'></a><br /><h1><b>In the Media</b></h1>On Wednesday night, Ross and John had a fun chat with the guys from <a href="http://www.savagebloggers.net/" target="_blank">Savage Bloggers Network</a>. That's up on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWjbAjx8QhE" target="_blank">Youtube</a> now, and worth your time if you're curious about the origins of the setting and some of our ideas for the upcoming book(s). We'd sure appreciate it if you could share the video on your facebook/twitter/google+ feeds, to let people know about the project. Link to the video:<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWjbAjx8QhE" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWjbAjx8QhE</a><br />This Sunday (January 10, 2016), Jason and John will be talking with talking with <a href="http://ilive4crits.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">James Walls of Living 4 Crits</a> in a Google Hangout at 9PM (EST). James is looking for "hard hitting" questions to grill us about Accursed (and likely other things, like gaming with our kids). I'm sure he'd love your comments and questions in advance, but there is an active chat during the hangout if you want to send us questions as we talk. Here's the link to the Hangout. <br /><a href="https://plus.google.com/events/c3723103j5092tp6r7j23v7br50" target="_blank">https://plus.google.com/events/c3723103j5092tp6r7j23v7br50</a><br />James is also in the planning process for a Google Hangout actual play of Accursed, hopefully to happen in the next week or so. I know I'm hoping to see that, and I'm betting a few of you would be interested in seeing and maybe even participating. If that's interesting to you, drop a comment into the Hangout link above.<br />If you know (or are connected to) another media outlet that we should be talking to, please let us know.<br />Again, if you're active on any internet message boards with users who might be interested int he campaign, please consider sharing the links with them.<br /><h1>Science and the Sea Artwork</h1>We have commitments from <a href="http://yuikami-da.deviantart.com/" target="_blank">Tanyaporn Sangsnit</a>, and <a href="http://www.pauljchapman.com/" target="_blank">Paul Chapman</a> to do the interior artwork for <i>Science and the Sea</i>. We've started to receive preliminary sketches on some of those, and I wanted to share them with you. I really loved Tanya's vision of the Stench Goblin for Manreia: <br /><div class="template asset" contenteditable="false" data-id="5165442"><br /><figure><img alt="Stench Goblin" class="fit" src="https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/005/165/442/49630e3ef3b4856f846007bffade69a2_original.jpg?v=1452264742&w=639&fit=max&auto=format&q=92&s=6a227cd3c18de1d5d7755e3212e8d06d" /><figcaption>Stench Goblin</figcaption></figure> </div>This ship struggling through the Discordian Sea by Paul was also particularly evocative: <br /><div class="template asset" contenteditable="false" data-id="5165444"><br /><figure><img alt="Ship in a Storm" class="fit" src="https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/005/165/444/5f081f282fe0d76b44d499b98cbe0695_original.jpg?v=1452264763&w=639&fit=max&auto=format&q=92&s=4b2ef1ec7f0b9bb5f5db94fd2fbea9ca" /><figcaption>Ship in a Storm</figcaption></figure> </div><h1>A New Side Goal </h1>Over in the comments, backer John Beattie has requested that we find a better way to organize banes and other rules systems, to make them easier to use in game play. That seems like a great idea, so we've suggested that we could create a Black & White PDF/PoD compilation of the banes from the core book, all of our adventures, and the upcoming ebooks. We haven't worked out exactly how long that'll be just yet, but we're talking about 40-ish stat blocks. In the interests of functionality, we'd also include reference lists (with page numbers) for the setting's specific Edges, Hindrances, and Powers. This PDF will be a free bonus to all backers at the $10 level and above. It looks like we can make a print version of that available as a $5 add-on (shipping included) for any backer already receiving a print reward. Hopefully that sounds like something that would be useful to you. <br /><b>Here's how we'll unlock it: </b><br />Our initial Kickstarter announcement on Facebook has already had 32 shares. That's fantastic, but we really want to make sure we can get the word out. Please give that link a share. If we can get to 75 shares on that post, we'll unlock the PDF version of the Accursed: Rules Reference Pack. If we can get to 125 shares, then we'll unlock the print version. <br />Link to Share: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MeliorVia/posts/982080361830337" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/MeliorVia/posts/982080361830337</a><br />That's all we've got for today.

The game's initial publication depended upon a crowdfunding campaign. Without your help, it never could have come to fruition. Two years later, we're reaching out for your support once more. We want to create a companion volume to Accursed that explores the World of Morden, and we need your help to realize that.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7n9G_YZjvGM/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7n9G_YZjvGM?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div><br /><br /><a name='more'></a><br />At the base level, we're funding an additional ebook on Valkenholm and Steppengrad - "Frost and Fang" - written by Jason Marker and Ross Watson. We'll combine that with Sand and Stone to make a great new print book too. But we'd like to do even more. With your support, we're hoping to fund three total ebooks, to create a nice compilation of material covering the six nations of Morden, the Discordian Sea, and the Outlands.<br /><br />This is a short project--we're just running for 21 days. We also offer a draft version of the Frost and Fang ebook as an immediate reward to all of our backers upon pledging. We know money can be tight after the holidays, but our goals are relatively modest. With your support, we can also make the rewards valuable. Please consider helping us start 2016 in an Accursed fashion.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1231173913/1770099356?token=9be1c256">Click through to the Kickstarter </a>for more information on the project as well as an opportunity to back it and see our selection of different rewards.

Next week, we'll be launching the crowdfunding campaign to help fund the additional artwork that they require. The initial goal will fund Frost and Fang, a book focusing on Steppengrad and Valkenholm. Notably, that book is already written, and backers will receive a draft of it as soon as they pledge.<br /><br /><a name='more'></a><br /><br />We'll then have further funding goals to create books focusing on Manreia and the Discordian Sea (already partly written) as well as one on Cairn Kainen and the Outlands. Its our hope that we can fund all three books, leading to a print compilation that includes all of these ebooks as well as the previously released Sand and Stone. Even if we don't fund all four, though, whatever we do fund will go into a print compilation, which will be available as a backer reward.<br /><br />If the campaign does particularly well, we have some other ideas in mind as well, but we're going to wait to see what happens before we announce anything. <br /><br />The campaign will launch on Kickstarter next Tuesday, January 5th, at Noon EST. We'll post the URL here and on our various social media feeds at that time.<br /><br /><h3>Minor Release</h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/images/3561/168778.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/images/3561/168778.jpg" height="320" width="247" /></a></div><br />Just before the holidays hit in earnest, we released a two-pack of one sheet adventures, both penned by Lead Developer Ross Watson.<br /><br /><i>Hatred’s Snare</i><br /> Gorge Wolves have the town of Yulotov, in Steppengrad, under siege. What has brough Baba Yaga's banes to the city? Can the Accursed defeat them, or can they find the root of the curse and elminate that instead?<br /> <i>A Distant Dream</i><br /> A caravan leader's nightly visions of the Djinn have drawn the attention of Memnon. Are the dreams real? If so, should the Witchmarked help the dreamer to uncover the origins of these dreams or slay him, so that they cannot be fulfilled?<br /> <br /><a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/168778/Accursed-Hatreds-Snare-and-A-Distant-Dream-2Pack?affiliate_id=333550">The pack of two is available for just $1 on DriveThruRPG!</a><br />John Dunnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16328917524930224973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2911125500646161588.post-13107161217399399582015-10-22T14:05:00.001-04:002015-10-22T14:05:27.125-04:00Bundle of Nerves +3<br /><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://bundleofholding.com/presents/Nerves3">Bundle of Holding</a> asked us to participate in their Halloween promotions, and when we saw what they were including, we just had to jump on board. Starting with the most important aspect, 10% of the money raised goes to the <a href="http://www.missingkids.com/WhatWeDo">National Center forMissing & Exploited Children</a>. This is an organization dedicated to fighting some of our world's most horrifying monsters. </div><div class="MsoNormal">After that, customers can buy in at two different levels. At the base level ($9.95), buyers receive PDFs of <i><b>Savage Worlds Deluxe Explorer's Edition</b></i> as well as <i><b>The Horror Companion.</b></i> (Conveniently, the two books required to play Accursed!) They also receive <i><b>Silent Legions</b></i> from Sine Nomine Publishing, a modern Cthulhu game with mechanics in keeping with the OSR movement.</div><div class="MsoNormal">Buyers who buy at more than the threshold price (initially $19.95) receive a whole bunch more. First off, they receive <a href="http://goo.gl/WMtck8">Accursed</a>. We're guessing you already know about that since you're viewing our site. They also receive <i><b>Rippers</b></i> and the <i><b>Rippers Companion</b></i> from Pinnacle, a brilliant setting that focuses on Victorian Monster Hunters. Finally, they receive <i><b>Shadows of Esteren Book 1 Universe</b></i>. This is a lavishly illustrated game setting of medieval gothic horror.</div><div class="MsoNormal">The folks at <a href="http://bundleofholding.com/presents/Nerves3">Bundle of Holding</a> tell me that there's still more coming, and I'm excited to see it. Buyers who join in now get anything that might be added to the bundle later as well. However, that threshold price for bonus books does go up over time, so if you want in, it's better to buy early. The base offer is $40 in books for $10. The bonus offer is $100 in books for $20. I don't think you can go wrong with either, even if you already have some of those books.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://bundleofholding.com/presents/Nerves3">LINK TO THE BUNDLE OF NERVES +3</a> </div><div class="MsoNormal">Thanks for your attention, and please help us to spread the word about this great deal.</div>John Dunnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16328917524930224973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2911125500646161588.post-89889530874710423252015-10-13T08:18:00.000-04:002015-10-13T08:18:17.624-04:00One Day Sale!<style><!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:"MS 明朝"; panose-1:0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; mso-font-charset:128; mso-generic-font-family:roman; mso-font-format:other; mso-font-pitch:fixed; mso-font-signature:1 134676480 16 0 131072 0;} @font-face {font-family:"Cambria Math"; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-536870145 1107305727 0 0 415 0;} @font-face {font-family:Cambria; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-536870145 1073743103 0 0 415 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-unhide:no; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; margin-top:0in; margin-right:0in; margin-bottom:10.0pt; margin-left:0in; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:Cambria; mso-ascii-font-family:Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Cambria; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language:JA;} .MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; mso-default-props:yes; font-family:Cambria; mso-ascii-font-family:Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Cambria; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language:JA;} .MsoPapDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; margin-bottom:10.0pt;} @page WordSection1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.WordSection1 {page:WordSection1;} --></style> <br /><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal">Today's the two year anniversary of when we successfully ran the <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1231173913/accursed-rpg">Accursed Kickstarter</a>.

This began as a special event run at Gen Con 2014 for a few of our Kickstarter backers. It represents a turning point in the struggle for the future of Morden, a savage blow struck against either the Witches who have conquered the land or the Order of the Penitent that seeks to save it.<br /><a name='more'></a><br /><br /><br />The Order has tracked down a woman whom they believe to be the last surviving Seelie Fey. With her help, it may be possible to strike and destroy Turris Atra, the Chimera's base of power. However, doing so risks the Order's own base of operations. Dare the heroes attempt such a crippling strike?<br /><br />This adventure was originally run exclusively at Gen Con 2014 for a group of Kickstarter Backers. It includes six pregenerated Witchmarked player characters. Those characters are also available as alternative face cards, compatible with<a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/124256/Accursed-Poker-Deck--Double-Deck--8-Suits?affiliate_id=333550"> our existing Accursed decks</a>. These replace the Jacks of the appropriate suits.<br /><br />The PDF version includes print & play versions of the cards, designed to be used with letter sized pre-perforated business card sheets, such as Avery 5870. Page 1 shows the card backs. page 2 shows the card faces. The PDF uses a monotone card background and back, to avoid alignment issues when printing on prepunched sheets. Both of these are markedly different from the Print on Demand version.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/131992/Accursed-Fall-of-the-Tower?affiliate_id=333550">$2.50 in PDF or $3.50 with the six Print on Demand cards.</a><br /><br /><h3>Special Sale </h3>DriveThruRPG is in the midst of a 15% off sale on *many* Savage Worlds products. (Including the Core Rules, Companions, and most of Melior Via's products.)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/rpg_systemsale.php?filters=0_0_0_0_0_45278&affiliate_id=333550">Here's a link for the full list.</a> <br /><br />In addition, they also selected <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=515462328518141" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" id="js_5n">Accursed </a>as one of their featured Savage September titles (along with the Horror Companion and Thrilling Tales). The PDF is 40% off this weekend, and we're adding our own discount of 20% off of the print price as well for the same time frame.<br /><br /><a href="https://goo.gl/MBnQmM">Click here for the link.</a> <br /><br /><h3>Worldbook in Development</h3><br />We announced it at the Gen Con licensee seminar, and a few folks have asked since then. So, I guess we might as well let people know. We're currently developing an expanded series of worldbooks, in the same vein as Sand & Stone. The current plan is to run a crowdfunding campaign for these in early 2016. It would be three additional ebooks. If all successfully fund, then we'll combine them with Sand & Stone to sell as a print compilation.<br /><br />Here's where they stand:<br /><br />Steppengrad & Valkenholm - This book is a little more than half-written. We're currently refining our art notes.<br />Manreia & the Discordian Sea - This book is currently contracted.<br />Cairn Kainen & the Outlands - This book is still in early development.John Dunnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16328917524930224973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2911125500646161588.post-88080329873630961882015-05-11T15:06:00.000-04:002015-05-11T15:06:58.261-04:00New Releases and Other Updates<br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A number of things came together in short order recently. They’re not really thematically linked, but they’re all important. So, let’s dive into them quickly. </span><br /><br /><h2>Accursed GM Screen Now Available</h2><a href="http://s26.postimg.org/dtpaa719l/Accursed_Screen_Front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://s26.postimg.org/dtpaa719l/Accursed_Screen_Front.jpg" height="81" width="320" /></a><a href="http://s26.postimg.org/n2rgkba5l/Accursed_Screen_Back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://s26.postimg.org/n2rgkba5l/Accursed_Screen_Back.jpg" height="101" width="320" /></a><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Over the weekend we received our proof copy of the Accursed GM’s screen inserts. We ordered it along with the customizable screen, and we’re very happy with the combination. All 8 of the panels reproduced our colors very effectively, and we love the way it turned out. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The PDF of the screen panels is now available for $3. Printed cards (US Letter size) are available to order for $7. Those who particularly like the screen we used can also combine the printed cards with the screen for $31.95. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/148725/Accursed-Game-Master-Screen-Inserts&affiliate_id=333550">Direct Link to the Screen</a></span><br /><br /><h2>Accursed Map Now Available</h2><a href="http://s26.postimg.org/isqkty97t/Morden_Map_Web.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="http://s26.postimg.org/isqkty97t/Morden_Map_Web.jpg" height="273" width="400" /></a><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We’ve had a printed map of Morden available on <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/meliorvia*">our Zazzle site</a> for a while. However, it’s a little more expensive than we’d like it to be, and that site’s a little off the beaten path. Recently, DriveThruRPG enabled the ability to print posters. Conveniently, those are about the same size as our map. We’ve just received the proofs of the map and we’ve now turned that on for ordering. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It’s now available in print for $6. It’s shipped flat, folded in half. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/148761/Accursed-Game-World-Map&affiliate_id=333550">Direct Link to the Map</a></span><br /><br /><h2>Thin Blue Line Blog has launched</h2><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ts_w6ZJJGRo/VT9uG8dmNWI/AAAAAAAAD4A/VN5NH93kCjY/s1600/CorktownPatch-V2-lowrez.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ts_w6ZJJGRo/VT9uG8dmNWI/AAAAAAAAD4A/VN5NH93kCjY/s1600/CorktownPatch-V2-lowrez.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Melior Via will be publishing a new setting later this year. <a href="http://www.thinbluelinerpg.com/">The Thin Blue Line: A Detroit Police Story</a> is <a href="http://www.amalgamatedfiction.com/blog/">Jason Marker</a>’s creation.

These officers have either demonstrated paranormal abilities or had a close brush with the supernatural. The damaged, over-worked, and under-paid officers must keep paranormal activity in Detroit under wraps and out of sight. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Jason’s posting updates to the new blog a couple of times each week as we continue development work on the project.

With permission and support from Evil Beagle Games, we've released <a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/147914/Shaintar-Accursed-Darkest-Tides?affiliate_id=333550&src=ABlog">Darkest Tides</a>, an adventure and sourcebook about both settings.</p><a name='more'></a><br /><P><p><a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/147914/Shaintar-Accursed-Darkest-Tides?affiliate_id=333550&src=MVBlog"><img src="http://s26.postimg.org/wrgcab7vt/MLV21212_OBS_Cover.jpg" alt="Darkest Tides Cover" title="Darkest Tides Cover" height="311" width="240" /></a></p><p>The adventure begins in earnest when the heroes arrive at Cata'Lasis or Respite—places that conceal a connection between worlds. Ranking members of the heroes' organization have sent the characters to the island in response to a request for aid. The aid requests are in response to numerous sightings of unusual creatures that have taken place in the area. Tracking the corrupted beings uncovers a larger tunnel complex. Examination of the caverns reveals that they are the remains of something ancient.</p><p><i>Darkest Tides</i> is a 19 page adventure for a band of Rangers from <a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/115010/Shaintar-Legends-Arise?affiliate_id=333550">Shaintar</a>. It can also be adapted for Witchmarked heroes from <a href="http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/124131/Accursed?affiliate_id=333550">Accursed</a>. The adventure may be played as a standalone, or it may integrated into a larger campaign. It follows a four act structure, while also providing details on the regions of Cata'Lasis in Shaintar and the corresponding city of Respite on Morden from Accursed. <em>Darkest Tides</em> includes necessary game mechanics and opportunity for tasks that can be resolved in a variety of ways. Conversion notes are provided for transferring characters between the two settings.</p><p>Shaintar: Legends Arise and Accursed provides additional details about the setting used in this scenario, however, only Shaintar: Legends Arise is required to fully make use of the game mechanics presented. Savage Worlds is also required.</p><p><a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/147914/Shaintar-Accursed-Darkest-Tides?affiliate_id=333550&src=ABlog">Available for $6.00 exclusively from DriveThruRPG!</a></p>John Dunnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16328917524930224973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2911125500646161588.post-17766172662359462122015-02-07T13:28:00.001-05:002015-02-07T13:40:00.846-05:002014 - An Accursed YearOver the month of January, many different organizations did 2014 year end reviews and awards. Since Accursed hit print distribution in 2014, many such groups gave it some consideration. We're honored to say that we earned recognition from several different groups. In particular, Tommy Brownell honored us with a pick in <a href="http://mostunreadblogever.blogspot.com/2015/01/tommys-top-six-of-2014-and-birthday.html">Tommy's Top Six</a>, Topless Robot included us in their <a href="http://www.toplessrobot.com/2014/12/21_reasons_2014_was_the_best_year_ever_for_tableto.php">Top 21 of 2014</a>, and Diehard GameFAN gave The Banshee of Loch Finnere <a href="http://diehardgamefan.com/2015/01/12/diehard-gamefans-2014-tabletop-gaming-awards/">3rd place for Adventure of the year</a>. We're in the company of some amazing publications with these awards, and it's an absolute honor. <a name='more'></a><br /><P>This week, Accursed achieved <a href="http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/metal.php?affiliate_id=333550">Gold sales status on DriveThruRPG</a>. That puts us in the top ~1.5% of all products that they sell. We're deeply honored to have received this level of support from the community, and we know we couldn't have done it without your help. Thank you very much for that. <P>We wanted to show our gratitude for that support in some more measurable way. The adventure Grove Point was included in our playtest pack, which went out to backers. It was also published in our print compilation, Ill Omens. We've just cleaned that up and put it up for sale on DriveThruRPG. As a way of saying thanks, we're sharing the following code to add that to your DriveThru library for free: <P><a href="http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/144206/Accursed-Grove-Point?affiliate_id=333550&discount=95585c7371">http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/144206/Accursed-Grove-Point?affiliate_id=333550&discount=95585c7371 </a><P>This code will be active until 2/14, so please make sure to grab it soon. <P>We do have one more upcoming product, which we've mentioned previously. That's Darkest Tides, an adventure that crosses over the worlds of Morden and Starfall (<a href="http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/115010/Shaintar-Legends-Arise?affiliate_id=333550">the Shaintar setting</a>). This is currently in review with Evil Beagle, and we hope to have that out within the next few weeks.

Since we launched the Kickstarter for Accursed, the game community has embraced our work, and been extremely supportive of it. We're appreciative of that support, and we wanted to find some small way of expressing that gratitude. In the spirit of the buying frenzy that has now begun, we've launched a small sale on DriveThruRPG. Specifically, we've marked down the Accursed Player's Guide from it's regular price of $10 to just $1. <P>In order to get this price, you'll need to use the sale link. <P><a href="http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/browse/pub/3561/Melior-Via?affiliate_id=333550&discount=9853bd3ecb">CLICK HERE FOR SALE</a><P>While some people may like to buy this to sample the setting, we're also hoping that some people will use the gift option (available once the game's in your shopping cart) to send the guide to potential players or to friends who might be interested. <P>Happy Holidays!John Dunnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16328917524930224973noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2911125500646161588.post-20983538790792851772014-08-22T11:16:00.002-04:002014-08-22T11:16:26.178-04:00Cthulhu Could be Coming?Well, sort of... <P>This is certainly our silliest update ever, but, I can't resist sharing it. <P>Christian Lindke of Twin Suns Entertainment is currently running a Kickstarter. It's not really a gaming Kickstarter even, but it likely has plenty of appeal to most gamers. Specifically, he's running his second Kickstarter to fund the creation of Cthulhu-themed Christmas Cards. (The first one was two years ago and I loved the cards I received, as did the card recipients.) <P>He's just added a bonus goal to the project. If it funds, John will write a short adventure set in Morden, which features the Cthulhu Claus character as well as artwork from the Kickstarter project. <P>Here's the direct link to that project update: <P><A HREF="http://goo.gl/i40iCq">Cthulhu Cards Kickstarter</A><P>Please be aware that this is not a permanent change to add the Old Ones into the setting. It's just a 1-shot, humorous toned adventure, that could be a fun change from the norm.

Oops. <P>We've been pretty hard at work on a few different projects, and we want to share that information with you. So, let's dive into a few different bulletpoints. <P><b>Print Partnership</b><BR><a href="http://www.meliorvia.com/">Melior Via</a> has partnered with <a href="http://studio2publishing.com/">Studio 2 Publishing</a>. They're shepherding our print releases into retail distribution through traditional hobby games stores. Accursed was our first release through this partnership and is either now available or will be available very shortly through traditional sales channels. Accursed: Ill Omens (see below) is now available for pre-order to distributors and should be available in retail stores at the end of this month (August 2014). We'll be continuing to work with them on all future print releases, and we're very excited about having this opportunity. <P><b>Accursed: Ill Omens</b><BR><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9oTPI9vgZCE/U-DKICRpvYI/AAAAAAAAAW0/K-Xpg53KLBk/s1600/IllOmensCover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9oTPI9vgZCE/U-DKICRpvYI/AAAAAAAAAW0/K-Xpg53KLBk/s320/IllOmensCover.jpg" /></a></div>So, what's that you ask? The first print supplement for Accursed is an adventure package, and it's now available to distributors to pre-order through Studio 2 Publishing. This includes all of the adventures that we've released electronically to date – including the playtest one sheet that was part of the Kickstarter and that we haven't sold anywhere else yet. It's a 64 page softcover, with a MSRP of $20. Gen Con attendees will have an opportunity to purchase the book early, as Studio 2 Publishing will have it in their booth. Here's the back cover text: <P><blockquote>Morden has fallen to the Witches, but their banes continue to prey off of the mortal survivors. This book of adventures presents a variety of different challenges for Morden’s Witchmarked heroes to overcome. New foes are introduced and locations are expanded. The adventures range in scope, with some suited to a single evening’s entertainment, while others could encompass several nights of play. Any of them can be interspersed with the Plot Point Campaign included in the Accursed core book. </blockquote> <P> <b>Gen Con</b> Ross, Jason, and I will all be at Gen Con, wearing a number of different hats. Because of that, none of us will be in one place consistently. However, John and Ross will both be visiting the Studio 2 Publishing booth (1317) fairly regularly. (Jason will be wearing his GM hat for FFG much of the time.) If you want to track us down, drop a message to info@meliorvia.com and we'll do our best to respond promptly and meet up with you. We're always happy to talk about Accursed.

The adventure came out to 24 pages, and we're very excited to have worked with Sean on this, creating a fun chance for PCs to confront the banes of Baba Yaga. <P>Marching through Steppengrad in the winter is the kind of thing only fools and Accursed would even dare. Nonetheless, the battle for the soul of the world continues, and to fight the endless monsters of the Grand Coven, man-made monsters capable of belching destruction and death are just what the Order of the Penitent requires if the tide is ever to turn. The town of Dagerov is in possession of a batch of cannons that could be just the resource the order needs. Unfortunately, the town also needs those cannons—the Accursed must try to recover them, without dooming Dagerov. !--more--><br /><P>The Guns of Dagerov is a full length adventure for a band of Witchmarked heroes in the Accursed game setting. The adventure may be played as a standalone, or it may be used with the Plot Point Campaign included in Accursed.

The book came out to 30 pages, and we're excited to have this opportunity to expand the information available about the game setting. <P>Since the colonization of Morden, Hebron and Hyphrates shared an enmity. In part, this was because of their nearness and competition for many resources. Their cultural differences, however, served to intensify the division as well. Hebronites are generally far more devoted to family, while Hyphratians tend to embrace personal goals. These differences often triggered misunderstandings and hostilities between the two cultures, leading to an endless series of conflicts. Much of this was swept aside in the face of the Grand Coven, when all the nations of Morden cooperated under the banner of the Armies of Light. <a name='more'></a><br /><P>Sand and Stone provides additional information about the nations of Hebron and Hyphrates within Accursed's setting of Morden. It includes a broad range of different adventure hooks for GMs and players looking to explore these specific regions. It also introduces three new banes as well as Hindrances and Edges specific to these cultures. <P>Here's a quick look at some of the artwork: <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fdoLFcmt9kg/U6LIVDU6hvI/AAAAAAAAAUs/p_pWV1n29w0/s1600/MLV21112_Cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fdoLFcmt9kg/U6LIVDU6hvI/AAAAAAAAAUs/p_pWV1n29w0/s320/MLV21112_Cover.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-i89A4JkDpZM/U6LIVKzkk1I/AAAAAAAAAUo/YK-X0zrzhlE/s1600/MLV21112_Matzeda.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-i89A4JkDpZM/U6LIVKzkk1I/AAAAAAAAAUo/YK-X0zrzhlE/s320/MLV21112_Matzeda.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Df7s2Q3iSUY/U6LIVLZkfvI/AAAAAAAAAUw/Qer7OUGv5O4/s1600/MLV21112_Onuris.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Df7s2Q3iSUY/U6LIVLZkfvI/AAAAAAAAAUw/Qer7OUGv5O4/s320/MLV21112_Onuris.jpg" /></a></div> Sand and Stone is just <a href="http://goo.gl/kQuai2">$6.00 in PDF from DriveThruRPG</a>.

We've gotten a great response to that already, and we're excited to see your pictures. But, we wanted to do more, so we're adding in another bonus. <P>It's Friday the 13th. That's a big deal for Accursed. So, we wanted to have a big sale. 13% off seemed like too little. Doubling that to 26% still wasn't enough. So, we've marked down all of our eBooks in the Accursed line to 39% off. That means our one sheets are only $0.76 and the Accursed setting book is only $12.20. If you're interested in the setting, it's a great time to grab it. <P><a href="http://goo.gl/A7vbgI">Link To The Sale</A>John Dunnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16328917524930224973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2911125500646161588.post-86237962255675636312014-06-12T09:11:00.004-04:002014-06-12T09:11:58.947-04:00Post a Pic, Get a PDFTomorrow's Friday the 13th, and that's a big day for Accursed. We just love the idea of ill-luck that goes with it and we want to celebrate it. Today's also Origins Game Fair in Columbus. We're excited about that too, even though the creative team won't be there, Studio 2 Publishing has Accursed available in print at their booth. So, we wanted to celebrate that too. We recognize that not everybody can be at the convention, so we wanted to do something that gives people a chance to enjoy our celebration. <a name='more'></a><br /><P> We'd like everybody that can to post a picture of themselves holding an Accursed book to either Facebook or Twitter using the hashtag #AccursedRPG (#SavageWorlds is a great one to add, too). We'll be watching that tag and direct messaging each one we see. We'll ask for an e-mail address and a PDF choice, then we'll send them a coupon good for a free Melior Via PDF. Don't have Accursed in print? Stop by Origins (or your FLGS) and snap a picture holding a copy at the Studio 2 Publishing booth. <P>Alternatively, if you've got some other way of including Accursed in a selfie, we want to see your creativity. (And we'll give you a PDF coupon for that instead.) <P>This deal starts today and goes through tomorrow (Friday, June 13, 2014). We encourage everyone to post as many pictures as they feel like, but we'll only give 1 free PDF per person. Here are pics of Ross and John, modeling Accursed at their FLGS - <a href="http://www.immortalsinconline.com/">Immortals, Inc in Cleveland</a> and <a href="http://dlair.net/austin/">Dragon's Lair in Austin.</a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4tkNAVBLEE4/U5mmc8M6ekI/AAAAAAAAAUM/JUV6ZzmGMUk/s1600/JMD_Accursed.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4tkNAVBLEE4/U5mmc8M6ekI/AAAAAAAAAUM/JUV6ZzmGMUk/s320/JMD_Accursed.jpg" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oNeG-a18oYc/U5mmc5R8ScI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/mpWmu5CF7Z4/s1600/RW_Accursed.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oNeG-a18oYc/U5mmc5R8ScI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/mpWmu5CF7Z4/s320/RW_Accursed.jpg" /></a>John Dunnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16328917524930224973noreply@blogger.com0
