Who is "Black Ronin" ? www.black-ronin.com/index.html"Black Ronin" isn't a big company. First of all they ( two English guys ) are old (RPG) gamers and then they shall share with all other gamers their works. Many for free ( buildings fantasy, sci-fi tiles, tiles fantasy ... ) and some excellent commercial products. The price of these tiles (and ambient sounds) are really low. A UK pound or a pound and a half ( just over a dollar and a half or two U.S. dollars ) so english men ( and all other old hardcore gamers obviously ) why not? I particularly like modern road tiles and the river tiles ( because I love modern horror settings ) but all tiles are very fine. Excellent graphics and concept works. But there are many other great products here: www.black-ronin.com/products.htmlAnd don't forget the many freebies: www.black-ronin.com/free_downloads.htmlWe are for most also gamers. So ... why not? These are really good products. I discovered "Black Ronin" recently so I don't know much. I know they are working on a modern horror product ( hooray!!! ) but not knowing much I wait to speak about this. One thing I know. Taran, one of these guys, it's really a nice person, as well as a great author.

Cool! Is this new? I thought I'd grabbed all the free buildings out there. Thanks!
I'm thinking about buying the ambient sounds too but they don't seem to be up on rpgnow yet? Any plans for that?
I only use Paypal to buy stuff like this...

At last these English guys are trying to produce their first printed product. If the quality is the same as their tiles then this skirmish RPGis already good right now. It is possible to pre-order the PDF but imho a visible support on their indiegogo campaign is even better. ;D WHO AM I? Hi everyone I’m Taran, the founder and owner of Black-Ronin.com
At Black-Ronin we already produce a wide range of PDF based RPG and Wargaming pieces. Covering everything from tiling wargame scenery (River sections, cobbled streets, city roads and papercraft building) to our own game-rules covering everything from classic paper and dice RPG games, through skirmish and full blown battlefield wargames.
To date everything that has been achieved has been through my own hard work, and the constant support of friends via social media networking who have shared what I have created all over the world.
But unfortunately, all my hard work comes at a financial cost.
In order to create the best possible product, I need to pay for the artwork that is supplied by my artists, as well as my own time and material costs.
The “Infected Dead- Zombie RPG & Skirmish Wargame” rulebook is due for PDF release on the 1st of July 2013, and regardless of any funding received this is going to happen.
However, I would very much like to be able to offer a traditional printed version of the game as well as the PDF one. This funding will also allow for me to include more original commission artwork and produce a better quality product.
WHAT I NEED.
The £5000 initial funding I need would be spent in the following way:
£2000 on artwork (a full page illustration with our contracted artist averages at around £100 each, with some more detailed pieces being more).
£2000 on advertising & promotion. Social networking has done well for us, but traditional magazine advertising is still the most effective method of promotion. We would also like to produce a professional video advertisement for distribution online.
£1000 for my own time and materials cost. Hey, I have to be honest, this has already cost me a fair amount of cash, in website costs, art commissions, office materials, increased phone bills etc. So it would be nice to be able to recoup some of my initial outlay.
Just being honest lol
WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?
Everyone who pays £5 into this project will receive a PDF copy of the rules and a personal mention in the rulebook itself.
But wait, there’s more…
For a £10 perk you get a printed copy of the rules, a PDF copy of the rules, a personal mention in the rulebook itself and a limited edition zombie art print signed by the artist himself.
For a £15 perk you get a printed copy of the rules, a PDF copy of the rules, a personal mention in the rulebook itself, 5 limited edition zombie art prints signed by the artist himself.
For a £25 perk you get a printed copy of the rules, a PDF copy of the rules, a personal mention in the rulebook itself, 5 limited edition zombie art prints signed by the artist himself and you get to feature as a character within the game itself (your choice of either human or infected). You will also receive a limited artprint of your in-game persona, signed by the artist himself.
HOW YOU CAN HELP.
Apart from donating your hard earned cash, you can also really help us out by spreading the word about Black-Ronin.com (we have a ton of free stuff on our website)
Subscribe/Like our Facebook and Twitter pages and let everyone know just how very cool we are.
Don’t forget you can use the Indiegogo share tools to get this project out there.
