Hey guys,
I thought I would come here and let you all know what Brian and I have been up to. We've been toiling with several major ideas for the better part of multiple decades and have taken the plunge into seeing them to publication. Last year, we formed Vorpal Games LLC in hopes of realizing our dreams of making our kind of game. Later this summer, we plan to Kickstart the project and bring it to the masses. We are calling the game Red Aegis and it will provide us an outlet to let our continuity and world-building tendencies to soar. I can't give you too much information on the actual game just yet, but I wanted to let you know that some big names will be helping out. So far we have announced Realms authors Erik Scott de Bie and Ed Greenwood as contributors. There are more names, but I don't want to flood the gates just yet ;)
Anyways, Candlekeep has been a home for Brian and I over the years and I thought you all would be interested in hearing this kind of news.

Sorry for my delayed response.
1) My non-gaming career has absorbed a huge portion of my life in recent months. Things should calm down soon enough.
2) I didn't want to spend too much time working on Loremaster.org while Red Aegis was in development. It will grow back to it's former self. In fact, there could be some rather exciting an interesting news regarding it, and another rather large website (don't worry, I'm not selling).
3) Ed turned over his work on Red Aegis. Ooooh eeeeemmmm geeeeee. It's pretty surreal to think that one of my favorite storytellers has put his touch on our world. He can take a grain of sand and turn it into a world. Keep your eyes peeled. |

Matt, any word on the status of the Loremaster forums? |

Jeremy, thanks!
As of now, in February, we're moving into beta testing. That means our backers will soon get to playtest as well. All is rolling along and we're soon to take the book and explode in ways only Realms fans can appreciate (lore, content, and yummy gooey story!). |

I've spent most of yesterday and today reminding even the most peripherally-connected gamer [RPG, video games, tabletop games, etc.] at most of the locales I frequent to pledge for this Kickstarter.
I get the feeling that RED AEGIS will come to eventually offer a little something for just about every fan of gaming in general. |

Wow. I almost missed out on this. Even though time will most likely not allow me to play, I am more than happy to support you guys and grab a hardcopy (hopefully to get signatures at a future con).
Congrats on getting funded and more importantly, congrats on your team. It's like you got the entire first round of a fantasy draft. This project will rock. |

Just pledged. 
Another $2236 to the next stretch-goal, with only EIGHT HOURS left.
If you have any interest in this project, PLEDGE NOW. Quick... before the zombies eat your brains!!!  |

I think the Tactics expansion is an awesome stretch goal that will give lots of gaming joy to all. Now, for the tall guy.

Over on the Loremaster forums Brian R. James recently answered some questions about the Red Aegis game system and gave some details on the scope of the game. Worth a look. |

Ladies & gentlemen, we have TACTICS. 
One more stretch-goal reached; lets get that Erik DeBie story now...

I've felt an near-overwhelming sense of contentment since backing this project.
I'm really pleased with practically everything I've read so far about RED AEGIS. I look forward to what we'll learn next! |

We've blown past unlocking the Red Aegis Hacker's Guide to FATE CORE (woohoo!) and are now chipping away at the tactical miniatures game! Then on to 13th Age! |

I was thinking EGG as E. Gary Gygax for a second there.
Congrats to the James Brothers and associated contributors for a successful project. I know there are some days left, but this thing is funded and well on its way. |
