Grayshade Novel

Alligator Alley Entertainment and Atthis Arts introduce you to a new dark fantasy realm set within the shadowed alleys and barren cathedrals of The Gray Assassin. The dark fantasy novel, Grayshade, is complete now and will deliver at the conclusion of this campaign.

The Grayshade Kickstarter funds the first elements of this immersive new world:

  • From Atthis Arts, the completion of The Gray Assassin Trilogy, with books two and three, Renegade and Heretic, and stretch goals for audiobook editions.
  • From Alligator Alley Entertainment, the Grayshade TTRPG, a new gamebook powered by the 5th Edition of the greatest roleplaying game of the last half-century.
  • From Norse Foundry, a limited-run, individually-numbered, metal Founder’s Coin, produced exclusively for early supporters of The Gray Assassin world.

This campaign combines the talents of a team of passionate gamers and storytellers, starting with the long-developed, richly considered tale from the mind of author Gregory A. Wilson (The Third Sign, Icarus, Tales and Tomes from the Forbidden Library), partnering with the award-winning publisher Atthis Arts, out of Detroit, (Alia Terra: Stories from the Dragon Realm, One Arm Shorter Than The Other, Five Minutes at Hotel Stormcove), award-winning game designer Aaron Rosenberg and RPG designer Rich Lescouflair, and the innovative, multi-genre game publisher Alligator Alley Entertainment (Esper Genesis, Witch Hunter: the Invisible World).

Printing update
about 2 years ago – Sat, Jan 29, 2022 at 10:32:47 PM

Hi everyone!

It took a bit longer than we would have liked, but we have identified the printer that will make the Master Technician's Guide a reality. The supply chain is pretty hairy right about now, especially for us smaller companies, but we've settled on somebody that will get us the quality we want, in a time-frame that is doable for a cost we can manage. In fact, they will be able to produce the Master Technician's Guide and Game Master's Screen together, but a manageable cost.

Rich is busy redesigning the screen to meet the print specs, and to make sure it matches up with the complete Core Rules now that they exist. We intend to have these projects uploaded to the printer before Rich leaves for Winter Fantasy and will keep you updated as we proof them, approve them, and have them printed. 

Also, our next project, Expedition from the Mysterious Peaks is humming along, and if you'd like to check it out, please visit: https://espergenesis.alligatoralleyentertainment.com/expedition-from-the-mysterious-peaks/

MTG Hardcover plus New and Upcoming Releases

Greetings, Espers!

Here's your latest update on all things EG.

Master Technician's Guide Print Update

We've been working to get the Master Technician's Guide printed within a reasonable time frame, while avoiding the recent supply chain troubles caused by international production and shipping. We want to go with the same printer  that created the first two titles for consistency. This printer is also in the United States which will help us avoid those supply chain issues.

In lieu of the holiday rush (and related cost increases), we plan to have the MTG proofed and printed in January. We'll follow up with a new update as soon as we have the proof in hand!

Virtual Tabletop News

The Master Technician's Guide is being converted for both Roll20 and Shard Tabletop. In addition, the Core Manual and Threats Database are both being adapted for Fantasy Grounds. By popular request, we'll be next looking toward getting the game adapted for the Foundry VTT.

Our Next Big Project

We asked our players and GMs what they would like to see next for EG. The response has been overwhelmingly for additional adventure content. While we are planning out Season 2 of Crucible Corps, we've also been looking to would also like to introduce more 5E players to the EG system and setting.

With that in mind, we're excited to announce our upcoming product: Expedition from the Mysterious Peaks! This massive adventure saga introduces an epic campaign storyline set in a cluster of worlds beyond the Rim Sectors. The product also introduces a plethora of new content for campaigns of any level.

We'll be announcing our Kickstarter campaign for Expedition within the next few days. In the meantime, feel free to check out our pre-launch page.

As always, please feel free to share any questions or comments in the section below.


Until next time!
