A Sneak Preview of My Next Kickstarter
Ascendant: Platinum Edition is Crowdfunding Soon!
I hope you’ve enjoyed our delve into Middle-Earth. Now it’s time to turn our attention back to caped heroes for a bit. In a little under a week, I expect to start dispatching the rewards for Ascendant: Star-Spangled Squadron to all of the backers who supported that project. I’m so excited to put the book in everyone’s hands, finally!
With that effort complete, it’ll be time to attend to the next crowdfunding project: Ascendant: Platinum Edition.
The Ascendant: Platinum Edition Kickstarter has been, conceptually, one of the most difficult I’ve worked on. The challenge was this: (1) I have a new sourcebook that I would like to promote to people who love the game; (2) because the game is young and not yet widely distributed, I need to reach new people; (3) a new sourcebook for a game people don’t own will not reach new people. To solve this dilemma, I decided to make A:PE a hybrid campaign that offers a second printing of the core rules, the new sourcebook, and the graphic novel — or a mix and match of any of the above.
Check out the copy and art for the campaign below. You can also see it in preview mode at this link. Please let me know what you think in the Comments on this blog post or Kickstarter!

We’re excited to announce Autarch’s eleventh Kickstarter project: Ascendant: Platinum Edition™.
Ascendant™ is Autarch’s superpowered role-playing game of infinite possibilities. Crowdfunded in April 2020 and launching in January 2022 on DriveThruRPG, Ascendant became a #1 bestseller and hit Platinum tier within weeks. The first printing of Ascendant sold out within a month of release.
Now, with Ascendant: Platinum Edition, we’re debuting a revised second printing of the core rules, the game’s first official sourcebook, and the Ascendant Universe’s premiere graphic novel.
Check out the links below for ways to get involved in the Autarch community. If you’re a fan, be kind and spread the word!
