Many of my formative roleplaying years were spent playing the SAGA System, used by the old 90's Dragonlance Fifth Age and Marvel Super Heroes RPGs. From time to time, I have kicked around the idea of trying to put together a retroclone of the system, as it has a certain magic that I don't often see in games today....
As a company, we occasionally like to gather feedback from our fans and friends. This year to glean feedback we sent out a trio of surveys. The first two, the 2021 Fan Survey and Saga Machine Survey, were sent out to the general public. They asked questions about our publication plans and flagship roleplaying system, respectively. The third survey was sent out exclusively to our Patreon backers and largely mirrored the general fan survey....

Meanwhile, the Sol System Poster Map has also reached the proofing step. We're going over the visible text with a fine-toothed comb. Once any typos or styling issues are fixed, it will be prepared for print. Finally, although it is not Kickstarter-related, our July Patreon adventure, Escape From Prison Isle, has finally been completely written and the draft text sent to our Patrons Supreme....
We're getting close! As I write this, Jovian Whispers is only waiting on three pieces of art, all of which have been commissioned. Once the last of the art comes in and we complete a proofing pass, the initial PDF will be sent to backers....
