I just wanted to give my friends here at the 'Keep a heads up that I have a patronage project with Rite Publishing, and we will start raising funds for it on January 3rd, 2012. I will post more when I am able to. |

To anyone who became a patron of the Martial Arts Guidebook,
Would you mind stopping by the Rite Publishing forums, saying "Hi," and maybe posting some opinions that would be great. So far only about two or three of the patrons are interacting, and I really would like to hear from as many as possible. If the link above tells you that you do not have access, make sure to create an account if you haven't and then email Steve [at] RitePublishing [dot] com and let him know that you are a patron (you will probably have to verify this some way).
Thanks,
Hawkins |

I'm really looking forward to the release of this tome. It's been a long time since I've been this excited over any martial arts-related gaming book. |

7 days and counting! Here is another bit of preview material. |

Wow. Only 8 days left! And we have raised $1250 so far! I hope they upload more of the preview material that I developed so that people may be inspired to bring it up to $2000 (the next tier for 32 more pages). |

Here is an audio interview with Steve Russell, the publisher behind The Martial Arts Guidebook, on the Geek Sourcing podcast. |

I am pretty sure it will be pretty easy to use with 3.5. But if there are a few bits that are not, feel free to bug me he here at the 'Keep. |

Hawkins, I will certainly purchase your Martial Arts Guidebook. It looks intriguing!
I am curious though ... will there be any compatability conversion instructions for playing these rules in 3.5?
If not, I'm curious if you might provide some instructions to do that are perhaps external to the published product.
Thanks! |

Congrats on the impending project.
Like the direction it's headed base on the preview and your post here. Already signed up, see you on the development boards when they go up. |

Basically, each school will have 5-7 "techniques" (basically relabeled maneuvers because Pathfinder has many types of other maneuvers and I did not want to clutter the term) that you will gain access to by gaining prestige in a martial arts school. Techniques will in some cases be powered by a point pool instead of a uses per encounter mechanic. You can gain prestige in a school by doing quests, leveling, and taking certain feats appropriate to the school. Much of this will be showcased in the upcoming preview material that I spent that last month working on. |

It basically works like Kickstarter, tough if you do not meet your goal the Funders can choose to still fund a produce with the lesser amount (if you don't make your goal on Kickstarter than the project is just dead). |

Interesting. I can definitely see a place for some of this material in my campaigns.
Looking forward to learning more. |

Ok. The first bit of Preview Material is up! |
| Hawkins |
Posted - 20 Feb 2012 : 20:20:24
Thank you! I am excited that we are already $575 out of the first $1,000 of funding to be raised. Basically, for every $1,000, I will be designing approximately 32 pages of material. |

Here is a new blog post of more Q&A for anyone interested.  |

Here is yesterday's blog post. I think that there is going to be one of these every Monday and Wednesday until the funding launch on February 14th. |

Congratulations, Hawkins.
I just saw the announcement on the KQ forums. I've had my eye on Rite Publishing projects for some time now, still kicking myself for not signing onto some of their previous projects. I have a keen interest in this topic and funds permitting you likely have another backer. |

Congratulations. This looks exciting, and I bet you're thrilled.
Have you read the source-book "Qin: The Warring States"? I'm pretty confident, having read your blog post that you've got lots of relevant books, I'm just wondering on your opinion on it.
No, I have not read that one yet. I do have plenty of material; I would love to read every one that a potential patron suggests, but my main problem with that is my budget. |
