Razor Coast, die neue Kickstarter-Kampagne von Frog God Games für ein von Nicolas Logue entworfenes (Mega-)Piratenabenteuer. Systemseitig setzt der umfangreiche Abenteuerpfad auf die Rollenspielsysteme Pathfinder und Swords & Wizardry. Wayne Reynolds, der „Lieblingskünstler“ aller Anhänger des Pathfinder RPG von Paizo steuert das Cover mit einem Kampf zwischen einer Piratin und einem Wershark(!) bei.
Die gegenwärtige Planung sieht einen vollfarbigen Band mit ungefähr 250 Seiten für Mai 2013 vor. Innerhalb kurzer Zeit sammelte das Projekt mehr als 14500 $ der angestrebten 75000 $.
Razor Coast: Cover (by Wayne Reynolds, Frog God Games)
„Razor Coast is the long anticipated Caribe-Polynesian flavored, Age of Sail swashbuckling RPG campaign envisioned and designed by Nicolas Logue. It has been praised for its ambitious and original design, its epic flavor and its lurid, full-color art – including a cover by the award winning Wayne Reynolds.
Logue tapped a team of veteran designers to help develop and write Razor Coast, including Lou Agresta, Adam Daigle, Tim Hitchcock, and John Ling. Razor Coast isn’t just an adventure, it’s part setting, part adventure path, and part toolkit to build your own unique campaign. It’s non-linear and will never play the same way twice.
We filled it with corrupt municipal Dragoons, dastardly smuggling rings, weresharks – lots of weresharks – desperate naval battles, oppressed tribes craving heroes, witches, cursed islands, legendary treasure troves, an impending apocalypse or two, demon pirates, retired assassins, undead worms, gator men, failed heroes waiting to be redeemed, dark conspiracies brewing in the oceans depths, vengeful ghosts…oh – and mutating cannibal pygmies. Who doesn’t like those?
We estimate the final book will come in over 250 pages, delivered in 100% full color, tightly bound with our infamous stitched-bound hardcovers — or secured by genuine leather covers for our serious collector. Our goal is to raise $75,000 for the additional costs to authors, artists, the printing it takes to finish the project, and similar costs — and lastly, to create the Player’s Guide. We have grander plans for Razor Coast and will reveal them with Bonus Goals.“

Keine Ahnung wieso, aber die Crowdfunding-Aktion des Froschgottes scheint bei den Fans den richtigen Nerv zu treffen. Es gibt kleine Segelschiffmodelle dazu …
