Last week, Kickstarter unveiled their new pledge manager that allows project runners to manage shipping costs and tariffs on new projects. That's why I cancelled the previous kickstarter campaign for Songfall Survivors and relaunched it over at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/Jagash/songfall-survivors-relaunched
During the relaunch process, we also listened to much of the feedback we had received and found ways to cut the cost for backers. Not only did we remove the shipping cost from the pledge amount up-front, but we also put Print on Demand copies of the book at the heart of the campaign.
If you are interested in this expansion for After the War, you can pick up the full digital version of Songfall Survivors & a code for an at-cost print on demand copy of the book, for only $20 CAD.
Thank you for your time and support over the years. I wish you the best of luck in building a better world together.

Hello, fine backers of After the War!
I wanted to drop you a line and let you know that we have continued to toil away in the dice mines to provide support for After the War, with a brand new, massive supplement on the way! We have been hard at work with a number of brilliant folks to prepare a brand new book full of content designed to help support campaign-length play of After the War. This expansion, titled Songfall Survivors, is full of some lovely new stuff including...
A new Origin, War Story, and Profession
A system for advanced settlement creation
A settlement management system based on a series of threats and opportunities
More history of the setting
Settlement biomes with more xenobiological fun, illustrated by Juan Ochoa as expected
A wrexploration minigame where you delve into the guts of a fallen star ship for priceless salvage.
I am extremely excited to share all of this with you, and I am depending on your support to help make this a reality. I know that the world is a harsh and cruel place these days, so I am trying to fight back the gloom with art.
If this sounds like your cup of tea, earl grey, just click on the fancy button below and click on the flag to be notified when we launch.
Cheers!

Expansion Book 1: Law and Disorder

Hello Polvan Survivors!
I hope that you and yours are coping as well as can be expected in this time of pandemic and strife. We have been busy at work over at Genesis of Legend Publishing Inc. and wanted to let you know that we have some brand-new content for After the War!
Law and Disorder is the first expansion book for After the War exploring legal and criminal aspects of the setting. In this book, we explore the tumultuous first years on Polvo after Songfall. We provide a robust system for creating your own settlement charters including the forms of government, community values, and how the laws are enforced.
This product also provides a series of useful tools for a gamemaster including a quick criminal scheme generator, and an optional system for resolving dramatic trial scenes during play. We round things off by establishing the new “Outlaw” profession category for player characters, so that you can play bandits, tech-hawkers, vice-dealers, muscle, or even musicians!
And of course, what use would these rules be without a handy den of scum and villainy! That’s why we provide you with the vast “Mount Urashtu Complex” including a space-elevator and a colossal shanty city at the mountain’s foot.
Even more importantly, this product is for a good cause. John Adamus, the editor for After the War designed his own crime-based PBTA roleplaying game titled “Noir World” in 2017. A financial and medical crisis has prevented him from printing all of the copies necessary for backers, and we want to help correct the problem. All proceeds of the sale will go towards fulfilling outstanding kickstarter rewards for the Noir World project.
You can pick up a copy of this brand new expansion, and help us put more books in people's hands.
Thank you for your time and attention. I will see you in the Complex!

After the War – The Horizon

Hello everyone!
Time has no meaning during a period of perpetual crisis, and that’s never been so evident as in 2020. While I have been investing a lot of time into my new game (Sig: City of Blades), I have also been working away on some additional content for my Polvan friends.
I am very happy to share some brilliant recorded actual play campaigns of After the War for you from backers and fans. If you want to see some solid examples the game in operation, I would encourage you to queue these pieces up.
Actual Play: Christiana Ellis
Christiana Ellis ran a brilliant short campaign with the setup process and three full sessions of play for you to discover. You can watch the full series of these over on youtube by following this embedded link!
Jess Go is currently in the process of administering a brilliant and thoughtful 3-shot campaign up on twitch. The session zero set-up process along with the first two sessions are currently up on youtube linked below. I would like to explicitly give them a shout-out of appreciation for their robust use of safety tools and a diverse cast of badasses.
More excitingly, their finale will be tonight, at 8pm Eastern time, 5pm Pacific Time. You can follow along over at https://www.twitch.tv/go_jg and watch this come to an emotional close. If you are busy during that time, it will also be available over on youtube afterward.
Law and Disorder Supplement
After the War has not yet been fully explored, and we are developing some additional rules, setting information, player options, and missions for folks to enjoy. The first of these new products under way is titled “Law and Disorder” which explores law, governance and crime on Polvo. It includes…
An explanation of how the world stabilized during the Silence.
The old laws of the Union and how they apply.
Settlement law development and enforcement.
A crime-drama generating toolkit for the GM
A new Profession category of Outlaw with five new options for your player characters.
A new playable settlement called The Hive
A new adventure for your group.
While everything above is subject to change, I am excited to pull this together and give you more support for this game so close to my heart.
