Kickstarter Project: World of Trexlin and Xephyer
Platinum Lion contacted me today about their “World of Trexlin” and “Xephyer” project posted on kickstarter.com. “World of Trexlin” is a system-neutral campaign world with races, regions and plot hooks designed to aid a DM. Platinum Lion’s “Xephyer” provides rules and cards for a poker-like fantasy betting game that plays stand-alone or as part of an RPG encounter. I actually heard about this game some time ago when Platinum Lion contacted me and asked for my thoughts on “Xephyer.” I provided some feedback and happily prevented at least one company from using red and green colors on the cards for the color-blind among us. Hurray!
That said, I occasionally get contacted on a by aspiring game designers seeking my feedback. I give some comments to every one, but honestly none of the games have seen the light of day yet. These games only earn a mention on this site when I believe they have enough drive and skill to actually release a game in the near future.
That said, Platinum Lion’s pitch on kickstarter is quite good and inspires confidence in me this project will take off.

Very cool video. I’m always on the look-out for new settings. The info provided thus far looks promising. Plus the card game sounds interesting. Your blog really helps me keep up on things. Keep up the good work!
