And when I went to the supposed pickup point to get it, it wasnt there yet. All I know is I should've gotten it Tuesday I ordered from Amazon , then they said today, and now they're saying sometime between the 30th and the 4th.
Like I'm not usually the kind of bitch who complains to customer service, but I'm getting there. Mine is delayed from Amazon as well. But they did charge my card yesterday so I can expect it to actually ship I hope?
Extinction event Human extinction Genetic erosion Genetic pollution. Getting ready for Gen Con was certainly time consuming, as always. Say goodbye to the big-box stores of yesteryear. There are a lot of moving pieces and we are working hard to wrangle them together. We've been playing this game for a while now; however, these games on near final design is really solid for dialing in the play balance. Romero would later claim as an influence.

Yeah I first tried Amazon's pre order service with God of War. At the time I pre ordered it, it said it would be on my doorstep on the day it launched. Come launch day, delayed. Come delayed date, delayed again.
I cancelled my order, picked up a copy at Wal-Mart, and vowed to never pre order through Amazon again. We as gamers are far too impatient for that shit! I'd have waited longer if it meant it was released in a working crisp state. What system do you play on?
I'm playing on the original Xbox One and it plays smooth as hell. DS1 and 2 are some of my absolutely favorite games of all time and by all accounts 3 sounds nothing remotely similar in any fashion. You haven't tried it yet? I haven't tried it yet either but I've heard mixed reviews. Give it a chance yourself before you write it off. I hate difficult video games but I'm hoping on easy it will be easier than all the hate suggests. I am disappointed by the lack of map and dungeons right from the get go though but it could still be a good game.
Our new timeline has us printing Pathfinder in Q1 and likely delivering in Q2. The target is for delivery of 5E in Q3, in time for Gen Con ! Following are some reasons and results of the delay. Art — We have some outstanding art pieces that were expected by this point.
While progress on existing commissions is behind schedule, the pieces delivered continue to be the amazing quality you expect. In case you had forgotten some of the amazing work from Raven Mimura for the iconics, check out the latest. And because art remains of key importance to Rusted Portal, we have opted to commission a lot more art during the delay. In fact, that number may grow as we flesh out the book with some additional artists.
That said, the timing for all of this will overlap not stack for further delays. We are also working on some photo manipulation pieces for an immersive view into post-Rise Earth. Playtest — We are crunching final designs after heavy playtest leading into Gen Con. We found that our Otherworldly casters had a few things in common without an associated game mechanic. Editing — We have been working through the internal edits before sending out of house.
This allows us to really lock down the nomenclature so GMs and players can further dive deep into the world of Apocalypse the Risen. Gen Con — We had an incredible Gen Con, running 14 four hour sessions over the course of the best 4 days in gaming. The response was so very positive we were just blown away. Despite how much we believe in AtR, we are always deeply humbled by players having such a good time. We will be a staple at Gen Con going forward and hope you make it to our table next year. Live hosted by local station KISW.
The event includes all kinds of interactive games from VR games to drone racing. Most important to us, the growing tabletop gaming section in year two was a great success. We ran two game tables with Raven showcasing art on an adjacent table. This unique event is designed to be experiential rather than immersive.
Each game was designed to run approximately 1hr, though most players continued through two hours of content. We accomplished this by reducing both the Pathfinder and 5E characters to a rules lite version, allowing us to get through more game at a lower learning curve. We are hoping to travel for a couple other conventions is possible.
Keep an eye out as we ramp up our social media communications. Most of all, we wanted to give you our continued thanks for the support and interest in Apocalypse the Risen. We cannot wait to get you this game. For those of you making the trek to Gen Con 50, we hope you made it into one of our game sessions. If not, please feel free to stop by and say hello. We'd love to shake your hand and talk about safe zones to meet up post-Rise. Below is a finalized schedule of our booked out games. Even if you aren't attending, take a moment to congratulate yourself for helping put us on the map.
Fourteen 4hr game sessions between Pathfinder and 5E, all booked with full tables. Chad Matson is unfortunately not able to come run our Pathfinder games for the weekend. Instead, yours truly will be holding down the PF event all weekend. We are starting to hear questions on progress and realized we've been WAY too quiet! Truth is, we are working our asses off over here on this game and Gen Con prep. We have been running Pathfinder playtests through level progression as well as 5E class and bestiary development.
No, I mean really, who comes up with these horrific encounters?!? What about the Pathfinder Gen Con game you ask? We've got that one dialed in from a few months back as well! Seriously, don't leave the colony, it isn't safe out there. PF is getting the majority of the attention as that system is the first scheduled for delivery so that will be the focus of this update.
Chad has moved to a remote outpost and churned through final build on the seven heaviest chapters needing work, including the vehicle rules. There are silent and invisible objects traveling at high speeds. Vehicle "accidents" are not pretty. Also, wear your seat belt! We intend to work through final designs in August and go into full edit in September.
He will handle both Pathfinder '17 and 5E '18 so we have a consistent feel. Our goal for Pathfinder has the printer receiving files at the start of November for a delivery of mid-December. We are tight and have a lot of work ahead of us. Gen Con adds a significant yet worthy challenge, and yet we are working hard to hold the line!
I can tell you with certainty that the playtest games have been extremely fun and enlightening. We've been playing this game for a while now; however, these games on near final design is really solid for dialing in the play balance. We know you'll see those results in the final product. Now, I know art isn't that important to you all Right, so art is SUPER important to all of us and we have commissioned a number of additional artists for scenes and been working up some things internally as well.
We get so excited seeing our crazy world come to life with this art. So, here's a little art update Alison has been diligently working on a variety of scenes showcasing locations around the world, including colonies and places of intrigue or downright scary. We are stoked to have her on the team and healing up well from the accident! We have a lot of amazing artists, writers, and designers working hard on making Apocalypse the Risen an amazing campaign setting.
Keep a spot for us on your gaming schedule because we are going to deliver you one hell of a world. We also hope to meet many of you at Gen Con.
