Transhuman KS: The Devotees for Backers
As sent out via email and a Kickstarter backer update, the Devotees (formerly "A Stoked Adventure") was released to backers today. If you're a backer at any level that gets "all PDF stretch goals" and you haven't checked out the post yet, peek here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/507486226/transhuman-the-eclipse-ph... (or check your email, the coupon should be there!)

Seriously looking forward to the free time to sniff through this soon. Possibly going to add it to the roster of games I'll be running at Paizocon in July. I like the touches I've found just in the first couple pages.

I've run it as a con game, but a lot of streamlining is called for. It's several times longer than any other scenario we've published, on purpose -- we want it to be able to occupy a group for 2-3 sessions. Without giving any spoilers, I recommend two things: 1) Do an in media res beginning, or your con table will waste precious time on OCD planning, and, 2) Massively simplify the 9 Lives intrigue so that the objective are more clear-cut. Unless they'll give you two slots to run it in. :) But given the smallish size/number of available tables at Paizo Con, I don't think that's going to happen.

can't download?
Weird, just bought it, but it downloads a 9.5kb file to my mobile. Will try again from my desktop when I get a chance. Edit: works fine on desktop. Odd.

Ah, so you're the one fan
Ah, so you're the one fan left that still uses RPGNow instead of DriveThru... ;D

Why not?
I like the site. They're essentially the same entity, and the url types faster. Why?

Hey! Thanks for reading everybody. If anybody is on the fence or wants to hear a playtest of the scenarios, it's up at RPPR. http://actualplay.roleplayingpublicradio.com/2014/04/systems/eclipse-pha...

Just interesting in that RPGNow is a very small portion of our sales, and we never ever mention it in marketing/announcements/etc. Part of that is the Top Sellers and "Metal" lists are distinct per-site, so if our sales were split more evenly over the two sites, we wouldn't rank as highly on DriveThruRPG. I hope that the two sites get fully-merged at some point; I've been hoping this every since DriveThru acquired RPGNow. :-)

Ah.
Didn't know the history of the whole thing. I'll use DriveThrough for you guys from hereon to help boost your scores, then. :) Anyone have an opinion on the T4 edition of Traveller, btw?

Just Bought It
I just bought this and I really love it. In fact, I previewed it via free download before making the decision to buy. First time I've actually gone ahead and bought an adventure, after reading it. The others I looked at and discarded. But this one was worth it for me. Would definitely buy more in this line. Specifically, I liked the fact that it also serves as a quasi-sourcebook, in line with The Stars Our Destination and Zone Stalkers. That aside, good story, lots of detail, nice art. [***SPOILER ALERT:***] I also appreciate that, unlike most of its predecessors, it wasn't all about the exsurgent virus. So, in summary: More please!!! I have many green pieces of paper to throw at you in exchange.
