Saga: the Game ~Hero Edition is the recession's answer to table top gaming. A simple one manual game merely requiring a pile of D20 dice, some paper and pencils and you're on your way to creating your own SAGA! The game is set on the fantasy continent of Daroka. Entire continents are unsafe to live on, cites are mere shells and areas of the land are so damaged by magic weaponry that strange magic warps reality. Only recently have the various races crawled out of barbarianism and savagery. Small cities of Man have attracted the other races to the walls of fortified cities. Outposts of civilization are peppered across a land that is full of wild magic, lost cities, strange cults and fierce monsters. Beyond the walls of the cities of man, the world is savage and merciless. A complete map is on the back cover for ease and convenience.

Congratulations on your entry into the business world

I'm actually pretty interested in your business model, as I have fantasied of doing something like this myself.
Did you just get a book printing shop to print a bunch of books that you store and sell from home via the Internet?

I bought a bunch of books I am waiting on delivery, so we can get them in the local book shops.
Also anyone can direct order the book from lulu.

We will be including a dice bag full of D20's with these first group of manuals we will be putting in the game stores.

The idea is to see if I can establish a presance, a viable target audiance and perhaps if it looks like it is really viable I will attempt to sell it to a bigger game company.

I have Another game in mind that I would like to develop but I don't think the market is big for it. But if I can get a byline established and become a known game author then perhaps it will sell a few copies.

What game is that?
A Wild West style game. (I love playing cowboys and cowgirls. I once played a Boot Hill character called Miss Kitty. She was a secret agent/government assasin who ran the local Cat House. Fun game. Miss Kitty was down right scandolus. But she always got the job done...) I seem to be one of very few people who can get into a Wild West style campaign. Folks get hung up on the fact there are no heal spells or other rapid healing and player character death is a serious likelyhood. Myself I figure if you don't want to die, never get into a gun fight when you don't have the edge and keep your shooting irons clean and well serviced. Also never kill a man when you can seduce a man into doing the job.

That is dam clever. Hope to see it in a shop sometime.

My sweety has made it in spiral bound and hardbound also.

Next will be the ebook which I really want because I got a kindle Fire just so I could put the thing on an Ebook!

Do you have a sample of the system / content for those considering committing to a purchase? Perhaps a few sample articles on your blog around the sort of system Saga uses, examples of play or similar?

Saga uses a skills bassed system. The dice rolls are bassed on a dice pool system with D 20's. The focus of the game is high fantasy and telling a Saga.

The game assumes that players will be playing Heroes. The world is in a state of post apocalyptic destruction. A war of species waged for 700 years. The world is in such bad shape that even the Orks and Elves have abandoned their wars with each other and have banded togather with mankind.
From the book:
The War cost the planet uncounted billions of lives and was the direct cause of the extinction of a number of sentient races.
Entire continents are unsafe to live on, cites are mere shells and areas of the land are so damaged by magic weaponry that strange magic warps reality. Only recently have the various races crawled out of barbarianism and savagery. Small cities of Man have attracted the other races to the walls of fortified cities. Outposts of civilization are peppered across a land that is full of wild magic, lost cities, strange cults and fierce monsters.

To get the full flavor of Daroka, combine all the romantic imagery of the courts of King Arthur with the drab stark reality of a post apocalyptic society, add in a stifling caste system and the constant threat of a new war and that is about right. Beyond the walls of the cities of men and Elves, the world is savage and merciless.

We are just starting to get it togather and all that stuff.

Here is my wifes attempt at a blog about one of the Saga we have been playing.

I thought I asked this before, but it is apparently nowhere on the site. What would we have to do to get an autographed copy?
