Empire of the Undying Sun

Work on Empire of the Undying Sun continues. Several chapters are out to the editor awaiting final edits. The plan is when the Kickstarter ends in October backers will be able to download the pdfs to begin play. The physical books and stretch goals will shipped within a year.

Empire has fantastic interior art that gives players a glimpse into what their future might hold. All of the chapters currently have at least one large image illustrating what situations players may encounter. Currently we have images from such fantastic artists as Peter Gilmore, Rod Luper and Ang Hor Kheng. Depending on the success of the crowdfunding we may get more great artists to do larger illustrations. Maps and other interior art are in production!

We now have a KickStarter! If you prefer to back the campaign guide on KS instead of on empireoftheundyingsun.com, don’t worry we’ve got you covered! The tentative launch date is September 27, 2024. The campaign is expected to run for 30 days making spook season the perfect time to back this horror campaign.  Check out the follow page on Kickstarter

Final edits are out to the editor for several chapters, and work on maps has begun!

Adventure Modules

The work on Faery Hill (written by Bill Silvey) is well underway. All that remains is adding battle maps and a cover. We’re still expecting a July 31 completion date so for everyone who has subscribed to the kickstarter and to empireoftheundyingsun.com, you should be able to download your free adventure soon!
