Believe me when I say every piece of art and design I have seen from our amazing team has been staggering. I am being spoiled rotten, and if you also want more eye candy than you can handle, then why not follow the launch? Over 700 people have!

Inspired by Final Fantasy X, the Xenoblade Chronicles, and Magic Knight Rayearth, Rangers of a Broken World launches in two weeks! Destroy the twisted Horrors. Deceive the Noble Demons. Outlast the relentless Automata. And save your people. Follow the launch now: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e...

A spread from Rangers of a Broken World with the two pages that introduce the Wandering Magus class. A woman in loose-fitting clothes wearing a long silk scarf floats in the air and weaves a spell across a desert dune. In the distance, a huge spectral tortoise appears. Caption: Wandering Magus. A desert nomad, preserver of ancient knowledge, and reader of the stars, the Magus is an unparalleled hunter. Everything in the world is connected, and no one understands those connections better.

Earth’s Children is a science fiction AP about a ship and crew thousands of light years from inhabited space, on a mission to explore and find habitable worlds. But it’s when they find one that the real work begins!

Image is an ad for an AP show premiering 9/21 called Earth’s Children: Promethea. It introduces a sapient space vessel, the Sagittarius, played by Eli.
