Aldis, the Kingdom of the Blue Rose, shines as a new light following the dark age of the Sorcerer Kings. Now, envoys of the Sovereign’s Finest strive to protect Aldis from threats like the dark Kingdom of Kern and the fanatical Theocracy of Jarzon, as well as monsters and corrupt magic left over from the Shadow Wars of the Sorcerer Kings. Aided by the rhydan—their psychic animal allies—the champions of the Blue Rose guard the Light against the power of the Shadow. Uses the Adventure Game Engine, as seen in the Dragon Age and Fantasy AGE RPGs.
With three hours left, we've unlocked the double sided poster map! Next up at $86,500 we expand the GM Screen booklet by 16 pages. We also give everyone at Aldin Guard level and above a PDF of the screen and booklet!
Thanks, everyone. Almost there!

Well, folks, we've done it. We've unlocked all the existing content goals for the printed book. Now, in addition to being hardback and printed in full color, we'll also have 260 pages of new and expanded content. Thank you all so much for your support!
We still have some hours left to push through to the final goals. John Snead's possible steam punk setting is next up if we get to $90,000 and of course there's the FATE goal at $100,000.

We will be making a GM screen to go with the new Blue Rose RPG. This will be a three-panel screen with Stephanie Pui-mun Law's beautiful art on one side and handy reference material on the other. Like our Dragon Age and Mutants & Masterminds screens, it will be made of same material as hardback books covers, so it'll be super sturdy. There's a mock-up below, so you can get the idea.
If you want a GM screen, just increase your pledge by $15. It's that easy!
Thanks for your support!

We have cracked $60,000, so now both versions of Blue Rose will include a poster map of the setting. Sweetness!
Our next stretch goal is Kira Magrann writing The Honor of the Rose at $63,000.
The Honor of the Rose
The Knights of the Blue Rose are an elite military force who work in tandem with their brave mounts to protect the great city of Aldis. Known for their shining heavy armor and minds as sharp as their swords, these Knights are terrifying to any who would oppose them. The Knights of the Blue Rose protect not only the residents of Aldis but also the integrity of their beloved city. Following a strict code of honor and forging deep bonds with their fellow knights are essential to their order. Developing meaningful relationships with two other Knights, and no one else, strengthens their desire to protect those they love and fight harder as a united force. Often for these Knights, drawing their sword is seen as a last course of action, after all other words have failed. Love Before Blood. Death Before Disloyalty. They hold many secrets of the realm close to their chest. The Knights know more than most how close the shadowspawn have come before, how dangerous the Lich King's army is, and how hard they fight to keep the balance in check. They would die before seeing Aldis fall, and pledge themselves in devoted service, taking no greater love than the City herself.
We've got 4 days left so let's keep it going! And if you have any friends who are big fans of Fate, tell them it's time to step up if they want to see the Fate Blue Rose Companion. We need to top 100K for that to be unlocked.
Thanks for all your support. This is going to be a damn sexy book!

Well, we've reached the point in the campaign where there's just one week left to get a couple additional stretch goals in there. The new edition of Blue Rose has already been expanded into a 248-page full-color hardback, which is a great improvement over the first edition, thanks to all the enthusiastic support so far. With only $2700 or left to unlock the poster map, that stretch goal seems completely achievable. How much more we can stick into the product remains to be seen but I think we might be able to hit a few more goals before time runs out.
Thanks as usual for all the support so far. We're all very excited about this opportunity to really go all out on the new Blue Rose!
