Raiders of the Serpent Sea Metrics

This post is a short summary of my experience using Kickstarter to fund the roleplaying campaign, Raiders of the Serpent Sea (print & PDF). I am on the verge of the first phase of fulfillment — the PDFs release next week! I decided to take a break and get these thoughts down before I forget them.

Brent Knowles My first full length release is now available for preorder.

"The Pool: Arrival"
When Miranda is forced by her mother and sisters to leave Earth and cross the universe to the middle-of-nowhere planet her family has owned for generations she's beyond pissed. She fears she will be stranded there. Forever. Or at least the better part of her summer vacation.

All because her grandmother decided to die.

Really, no matter what century you live in, a teenager's life is never fair.
