Now that Con on the Cob is over and our first print run is mostly decimated, we thought that we would show you what life at the Silvervine offices is like on a daily basis. Yeah, kind of like the picture below, life as an employee of Silvervine is being Kilted all the time, slightly off sync with your fellows, and frolicking through a green meadow full of rainbows and unicorns. So the real story behind this photo is that there was a vendor called Fantasy Visions who set up a green screen and had a choice of photos you could be shopped onto....

Wow. Not enough can be said about the awesomeness of Silvervine’s debut at Con On The Cob. We all but sold out of books, and did if you count the off convention sales that we made with the handful left. The gaming was excellent and most of our games had 3 or 4 people waiting to get in. It was an awesome time and the range of characters we saw was incredible! So, with that being said, post a comment about your character concept. Share it with the world. People never believe the kinds of characters seen in SVG, but we want to show them. So drop...

Well we’ve done it. After a 7 year long journey that started as little more than a “sure why not” project, we’ve completed and gotten our first print run of the Silvervine Games Core Rulebook and Cyrus Worldbook. We’ll be selling the first copies at Con On The Cob (OCT 14 – 17, Hudson Ohio), our home convention and where we are Gaming Guests of Honor this year. If you are local to Ohio or one of the many who travel to the convention, you should join the ~1,000 other attendees and check us out. Aside from all the other fun things to do at the...

Well, come hell, high water, or typographic tragedy, we've got a book. I sent the final press ready file to the printer today around 2pm and got confirmation that printing has started. If the time frames on printing and shipping hold, it'll be around the start of October that we have it in our hands. With that, I'm going to go sleep for a few days. –JA P.S. Here is the cover and back for your perusing pleasure. Front Back

This past weekend, Alec and I locked ourselves into the Silvervine offices and methodically knocked down the final list of design tasks. By the end of the weekend, we had something that passes for a book. Alec, design guru that he is, is currently doing some final tweaks and proofing to make sure things look great. I’ll post some previews when I get some spare time, and shake this sickness that I’ve been suffering from, but until then check out the newest additions to the SVG offices. Now, onto assigning some ISBNs and lining up some proofing...

I don't think I've shared this little beauty yet . . . It is the core crew of the Crimson Armadillo, done through our Player Picture Project. The beautiful art was done by Andrew McIntosh. The characters of The Captain, Burke, and Ziggy the Ogre were played by Jason Pisano, Akira Barnes, and Brandon Grinslade. In other news, there are Silvervine Bandannas on the way . . .
