G’day everyone.
Sorry for my late KS update, I wanted to hold off until all of my PDFs were ready to send out to everyone, but the last couple of images and write-ups for the Location Guide book are taking longer than I hoped. But I'm VERY happy with how things are turning out - this final FE2 book is amazing.
I hope everyone is enjoying the FE2 rules and setting guide PDFs! Let me know if you missed your emailed links via DriveThruRPG.
Last PDFs will go out in January (I will continue to update these right up until they go to the printers).
I want to print in January as well, but there is a chance that it may be in early Feb (depending on how we go with editing and printing prep).
Beware the mists of the planet Hypnos.
A newly built (rebuilt?) Kaltoran cut-n-shut ship is ready to launch.
Nephilim genocrat.
A giant 2-page image of a Kaltoran pit city!!
I had fun working with the Fragged community to create these Kaltoran business names that went into the Pit City artwork! I hope to use them again in the future in other artwork.
The moon Jamila, home to the Legion/Corp fortress city of Jamila One.
As I’m in the final stages of this project, I like to set aside the occasional afternoon to work on other projects. As variety helps to keep my mind sharp, creative, happy and a chance to work with new creative people. Here is some of what I’ve been working on:
Resin Minis: Eridan Lorenz (Tethered Hunter with Axe) and Elisheba Feyright (Kaltoran Archer)!
Future Plans: If these sell well, I will make more.
Fragged Empire board game (very early WIP prototype).
Current Status: The fantastic board game designer Karl Lange from Ark Angel Games and I are still in the early stages of fleshing out the rules.
Future Plans: We plan to Kickstart this in 2023.
Current Status: I’ve only been working on this for a couple of weeks... but, I'm VERY excited about giving this setting and rules the same love as FE2.
Future Plans: Playtest files should be out early 2023 via the Fragged discord channel, but will not be Kickstarted until 2024 (as there is LOTs of work to do).
Fragged Tactics - a miniature skirmish game.
Current Status: Rules are all made and are being polished. You can play this on Tabletop Simulator right now (let me know via the Fragged discord if you would like to play a game with me!).
Future Plans: I’m not sure if this will become a fully produced product, and I will be content if it just becomes a fun print-and-play game.
I hope everyone has a great Xmas and new year!!!!!!!!!

G’day everyone :D
As nearly all of your are now aware, the Early Access PDFs for the FE2 Rule and Setting Guide books were sent out a while ago, and I hope you are all having lots of fun reading and playing games with them.
If you missed your email link, please check your “My Library” button on DriveThruRPG, or your spam email folder. If they are still missing, just send me a private message.
The Early Access PDFs are also available on DriveThruRPG for the public. It would be a GREAT help if you could rate them and/or leave a review.
If you want to chat about FE2 (or other Fragged settings), I highly recommend joining the Fragged Discord channel. I and other people from the Fragged community are on there everyday.
Work on the Location Guide book is also going well, especially with the art. We still have lots of work to do with the writing and maps, as I’m wanting to carefully fill out the lore of each system/planet and weave them into the wider setting.
(I'm still working on the flavour text for this page).
(WIP art for the Nephilim capital city of Necronus on the planet Eden).
Also, I've been working on new resin Fragged minis :) This fantastic Tethered (Fragged Aeternum) and Kaltoran ranger (Fragged Kingdom) will be available next month in limited numbers. Once they're ready for sale I will first announce them on Discord and then Facebook.
Please complete your BackerKit survey.

G'day everyone, just a super quick update to remind everyone to please complete your BackerKit survey and to resolve any issues that you have with card/PayPal payments ASAP.
I want to send out the early access PDFs for the Rule and Setting Guide books as soon as I can and I don't want anyone to miss out.
The early access Location Guide PDF will be released at a later date.
These early access PDFs will be updated via DriveThruRPG as I make tweaks, and insert some final art and lore. If you have feedback, best to let me know via the Fragged Discord group.
A week or two after Backers have their early access PDFs I will be making them available to the general public (as holding off will just encourage piracy).
Also, if you backed a "Patron" pledge level and want a different name than your listed name thanked in the back of the book(s), please send me a private message via Kickstarter.
If you have any trouble or questions, please let me know :D
Captain Julius ‘Blood Hand’ Origin of the Bloodied Coin pirates in the Kasuf system. One of two pirate lords, the other is the Tenebrous Nephilim 'Black Quietus'.

G'day all.
I just wanted to give you a quick update on how production is going on the Fragged books, and to encourage everyone to finalize your rewards/address via the Pledge Manager (as I hope to lock things down later next month if all goes to plan). If you need any help with the Pledge Manager just send me a private message.
Ok, onto the book content!!
Table of contents for the Setting and Location Guide books!
WIP Art for the new and expanded subcultures!
With the unlocking of the new Location Guide book I've had lots of room to flesh out new (and expand on existing) subcultures within the setting. New additions include: Legion Interior Branch (factory farmers, ship wreckers, parents, etc...), Palantor Green Sparks (they make their bodies out of any junk that they can find), Twi-Far Salamander Symphony (a returning faction from FE1 - colonists, scientists, workers), Twi-Far Seraphim Symphony (Twi-Far who have converted to the Remnant's All-Faith), Hunger Mad Zhou. I've also done some large expansions on the All-Faith holy texts and various Zhou tribes ( from those on their home world of Praid and new ones in Haven).
Prism, the ancient home system of the Twilinger before they became the Twi-Far.
Just some cool 3d modeling from our art team :)
Work on the Location Guide book is also coming along well, but a little slower as I'm focusing on the Setting Guide book atm. I'm especially happy with this above image showing how the Twilinger used to be industrial slaves for the Archons before the Great War.
Mechonid ships!
A heavy Oni fighter and one of their MASSIVE world ships in the background.
A new star system from the Location Guide book: the ancient human Demon System that is guarded by 3 super space stations.
I LOVE this art that goes alongside the new short story in the the Location Guide book. Rachel and her crew visit a planet with GIANT flora and fauna.
A cool Kaltoran ship! I've been reworking their design/look.
More space in the Setting Guide book has allowed me to include more info like these 4 Zhou tribes.
More space has also allowed me to expand many of the existing subcultures, like these Palantor MVP Houses (Go house Toad!).
More cool art for the intro short story in the Setting Guide book: Rachel and her team (along with their new 5th crewmate!) explore a giant Corp ghost ship freighter in a distant star system..
Pledge Manager, Location Guide book and more!

G’day all.
The Archons are getting a larger write up in the Setting Guide book; history, factions, and new art (they're VERY tall)!
BackerKit Pledge Manager
You should have all received an email with a link to your BackerKit Pledge Manager, please fill this out with your postage details and Add-Ons of choice ASAP.
You can alter your Pledge Level via the Pledge Manager if you want to increase your Pledge Level.
Pledge manager will most likely be locked down in July.
Please send me a private message if you need any help.
Early Access to PDFs
It is my plan to have early access versions of the Rule and Setting Guide PDFs out to you in July if all goes to plan. Please ensure you have your Pledge Managers all filled out in time to ensure you receive yours. These early-access PDFs will be sent our via DriveThruRPG.
These early access PDFs will be updated to final versions as art and writing is completed, and rules tweaked.
If you want to join the playtest right now, please join the Fragged Discord channel and send me a private message with your Kickstarter email address.
The Location Guide book will include a wide range of new planets, star systems and space stations; such as the new Luminos planet.
Location Guide Book
Work on the Location Guide book is going well. Having an entire book has given me lots of room to flesh out the various core Fragged Empire star systems, and throw in lots of unexplored (or loosely explored) systems to tempt GMs and PCs.
These write ups will also include the distant home systems of the Legion, Remnant and Twi-Far – allowing an even deeper exploration of their cultures and histories.
Please be sure to add a physical copy of the Location Guide Book to your pledge, it would be a great help to theproject!
Cover Art
The cover art for all 3 core books is now complete! These were an absolute joy to commission, and help to show all of the different angles of the Fragged setting; exploration, combat and social bonding :D For future FE2 books I am very unlikely to do this 'same location' approach, but I think it really works for the core books.
