I'm running a Kickstarter to pay for interior art for my latest RPG book, the BLUEHOLME™ Journeymanne Rules. The book is kind of an OGL clone of the "Holmes" edition of the world's most successful RPG. I say "kind of" because the original was a basic book covering only levels 1-3. I already have a book for the same 3 levels, called the Prentice Rules (see what I did there?).
The Journeymanne Rules are a standalone game for levels 1-20, meticulously researched to not only clone the original game but to enhance the freewheeling, happy-go-lucky, downright quirky way of running games the good Dr J. Eric Holmes had. Try googling his article "Fantasy Life in a Game Without End" for a taste of what his games were like. For example, you can play any species you want if your referee lets you - and let me advise any referees listening out there, don't let them play medusas. JEH himself once played an insectoid alien called a dreenoi from the tabletop wargame Starguard - so I asked John McEwan if I could use his critters in my game, and he said yes. What's more, the fine gentleman Chris Holmes, son of J. Eric, kindly wrote a foreword and donated some art to me.
So, anyway, here it is: my very first Kickstarter. The book is ready, including cover and 6 pieces of interior art already done. I'm only asking for money to feed artists, surely a worthy cause (right, David?). We've already motored through the art stretch goals and are now onto illustrated character sheets.
