It’s been two years since the What Lies Beneath Kickstarter. In the past you have supported our projects, and for that we are extremely grateful. Thank you so much!
Now we would like to invite you to join our latest effort: Strange Bedfellows for Age of Ambition. It is a full-length campaign and sourcebook that follows your party, the rulers of the city of Melanoc, as they seek to improve the realm, advance their personal ambitions, navigate politics and face an apocalyptic danger lurking in their midst.
Along the way, the party must make unlikely alliances and tough choices, uncover a conspiracy that threatens to stoke the flames of civil unrest and thwart a sinister plot hatched by meddling spies.

Greetings Backers!
Tab Creations is excited to announce the launch our our latest project right here on Kickstarter, Heights of Power: A Revolution in the Age of Ambition RPG.
The project consists of three parts: Heights of Power, Game Master's Toolkit and Melanoc Adventures are three short supplements for the Age of Ambition roleplaying game. They feature powerful new traits, arcane fighting styles, alternative rules, new hazards and seven one-shot scenarios.
This Kickstarter will be here for three weeks only. We will send out PDF rewards immediately after the Kickstarter ends so there will be no waiting for your digital rewards!

Over the last few days, the physical What Lies Beneath rewards were ordered. They should begin shipping to backers in the next couple weeks.
If you live in the United States and don't have your rewards in hand by April 23rd, please contact us and we'll make sure you get them. International orders may take a few weeks more than that, depending on your local postal service.
Join the Saga Machine Unified Playtest!
Saga Machine, our in-house RPG system, has evolved significantly since the release of Against the Dark Yogi in 2014, all the way to Age of Ambition in 2020. As we look to the future and consider the possibility of new editions of our games, we want to streamline and unify our mechanics in a way that supports our fans' preferences and makes it easy to go from one game line to another.
Your feedback is critical in helping define the future of Saga Machine.

The Future of Age of Ambition
If you enjoy our games and would like to see more of them in the future, one of the best things you can do is to say nice things about them in public. Talk to your friends. Mention us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit or any of the many RPG discussion forums. As a small independent gaming company, one of the hardest challenges is simply getting the word out.
Of course, if it moves you, we also have a Patreon where every three months we release an adventure or other supplement. The next is scheduled for release in late April.
A Final Thank You
You are all wonderful people, and What Lies Beneath wouldn’t have been possible without you! From all of us at Tab Creations: Thank you! We hope you enjoy playing the campaign as much as we enjoyed making it.

Hello What Lies Beneath backers!
Moments ago we sent out the last of the PDF rewards! These include Body Problems, the third unlocked one-sheet scenario, as well as the finalized What Lies Beneath campaign and sourcebook.
Today you should receive two emails from DriveThruRPG, each containing a download code. If you haven’t received your codes by tomorrow morning, feel free to contact us and we’ll make sure you get them. This also might be a good opportunity to make sure that you have all of your PDF rewards.
Meanwhile, since the files are complete, we've already ordered a printing proof of What Lies Beneath. We expect it to arrive in the next couple weeks. Once we've had a chance to look it over, assuming everything looks good, we can begin placing orders for the print rewards.
Thank you, all! We seriously couldn't have made this campaign a reality without you!

February Update: More PDFs! More Adventure!

Hello What Lies Beneath backers!
Today we are going to send out the PDFs for most of the unlocked extras. This includes the poster map, player's brief and two of the three one-sheet scenarios.
You should receive several emails from DriveThruRPG later today, each containing a code to download one of the extras. If you haven’t received your codes by tomorrow morning, feel free to contact us and we’ll make sure you get them.
The Forslin Job for Age of Ambition is currently live on Kickstarter! It is a 32-page scenario wherein the party must confront xenophobic agitators and thwart a conspiracy to foment discord across the kingdom. We would appreciate it if you consider backing it.
As this is one of our "quickstarter" campaigns, you'll get the PDF as soon as the funding period ends and the print copy will be sent out two weeks later.
Status Update
At this point, the final What Lies Beneath PDF is only waiting on one last piece of art. In the meantime, we're making one more proofing pass. We'll send out the finalized PDF and order a printing proof as soon as we have the last piece of artwork in hand.
Meanwhile, writing has begun on the third and final one-sheet scenario. We plan to send it out to backers at the same time we release the final campaign PDF.
