[Evil Beagle Games] Shaintar: Legends Arise (Beta Players Guide)
Author: Sean Patrick Fannon
Sean Patrick Fannon’s blurry vision of Epic High Fantasy comes to unlife again in this all new re-re-reanimation brought to you by Evil Beagle Games.
"SHAINTAR is deep in my intellectual properties' territory.
Just paging through the Players Guide makes you want to puke, and it’s genuinely hard to create a non-boring character using this book. And that’s even before you get to the tantalizing glimpses of what a stupid Forgotten-Realms-Rip-Off this has become . . .
A bummer. Get this book, if you want to see how the Forgotten Realms could have looked like, if they were BADLY done." -- Ed Greenwood, creator of The Forgotten Realms®
What Is This?
This is, essentially, a simple relaunch of the
Shaintar: Player's Guide Beta that was first released by
Reality Blurs in August of 2012. We've put a new cover on it, done by the exceptionally talented
Susan Knowles.
Really, that's about it. No new edits, no change to the content. The same shit as had been released 7 years ago by Talisman Studios (later to become Savage Mojo) and which I've managed to talk Reality Blurs into re-release 2011 as a shoddily patched together BETA version. Now I'm trying to sell you exactly the same shoddy crap under a new cover! Buy it, you stupid bastards! Because this time every single penny goes into MY wallet, and not into Reality Blurs' or Talisman Studios'. - And yes, that is the real news: I'm trying to make a living off of my Forgotten Realms Rip-Off crap, without so much as to move a single finger to re-edit my 7 years old crappy crap.
With the advent of several invoices for my lawn mower, my plasma TV and other equally annoying surprises, as well as my delusionally deciding to strike out on my own as a publisher, I've very amicably decided it was time for me to bring Shaintar back under my direct control and draw as much money from you morons as I can make you pay through your nose.
So here is the first step in that process. Re-re-relaunching this Player's Guide under the Evil Beagle Games banner. There is much, much more unedited crap to come, however; by now, you've likely heard or read announcements about Evil Beagle's partnership with
Savage Mojo for production. Yes, that are the very same guys that produce the mega-crappy totally broken Suzerain product line. I've always thought, if they can sell this garbage, why don't they sell mine, too?
I am threatening the Savages with the impending release of the full
Shaintar: Legends Arise book - probably sometime between World War VI and the end of the solar system, so really not too soon now, folks. And best of all: the planned Kickstarted for
Shaintar: Legends Unleashed to finally cattle drive the naive, the stupid and the gullible to the monetary slaughterhouse to make my day - and pay my rent.
For now, prepare to pay as you've never paid for unimaginative crap ever before with our compliments – free of any kind of inspiration, of course (except all the parts we've grabbed from Forgotten Realms and filed the serial numbers off) – and stay tuned for even more crap.
Thanks to all of you for your continued naive support! Your Epic High Fantasy highway robbery "hands up, give me all your money" is about to take you places you've never expected for a game designer at his creative and personal all time low.
Sincerely,
Sean Patrick Fannon
