Kickstarter – Gateway: The Book of Wizards

Looking at Kickstarter this morning I came across an artbook project, Gateway: The Book of Wizards, that caused me to stop for two reasons:

  1. The art looks fabulous.
  2. The artist’s name, Sean Murray, and the style of the art looked really familiar.

So I started the project’s video and the moment Sean came onscreen I knew why the art and name caught my attention: I worked with Sean Murray many, many years ago when I was art director on the roleplaying game book, GURPS Discworld Also. Sean was a great artist back then and he has only gotten much, much better in the 10+ years since we worked on that project together.

I am definitely backing this project.

The Book of Wizards is a book… an illustrated “field guide” to various famous practitioners of magic in a fantasy world called “Gateway”. When printed, it will be about 100 pages long, and will have about 65 illustrations or more in it, mostly color, some black and white.

  1. Love this – no, I mean REALLY love this. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Backed! 🙂

  2. @Iron Panda – Fantastic! Just a few thousand dollars more needed and the project will be a success. I am looking forward to seeing it come together; Sean’s art was great when we worked together and he has improved dramatically since the last time I talked to him.
