Chris Lindsay here... as Matt and his super squad of artists and graphic designers are putting the finishing touches on the art and layout for the main book, I haven't been idle. The first issue of the OG5E Journal has been assembled and is ready to jump into the queue for layout right behind the Dragon Rider's Primer!
Whether you opted in for a physical copy or you pick it up digitally later, here's a SNEAK PEEK of what you can expect from this glorious ZINE!

STAY TUNED!!! I haven't forgotten about you... it won't be long before this Glorious Guide is winging its way to the printers!
Chris Lindsay here... I'm just dropping everyone a quick note to let you know that we've been collecting up all of our edited content and are now in the process of fully assembling this aerial beast. I wanted to remind you that if you haven't yet done so, you can DOWNLOAD the BETA rules here and start playing right away. There's absolutely no reason you should remain grounded whilst you wait. In the meantime, I'm working hard so that by the next time I update you, we should have complete manuscripts, ready for layout and final art.
At the same time, we're polishing the articles and content to populate Issue #1 of the OG5E Journal. It's sure to be jam-packed with insightful ideas, amazing articles, and all around gamer goodness!
While we're chatting, I'd like to draw your attention to the AWESOME new campaign we have going with.... wait for it....BOOOOOOM!!!
To all of you who backed this project a HUGE THANK YOU!!!
In the coming weeks, more information will become available. Please don't forget... if you haven't already, go download the BETA rules and provide any feedback you might have. This will be helpful as we complete the project and prepare all of this wonderful content for your enjoyment!!!
Heya Folks! Chris Lindsay here to remind you that if you haven't yet backed this project, our time in crowdfunding is coming quickly to an end. To the 1,000 backers that have, on behalf of Goodman Games, I humbly thank you for your support!
For the rest of you... NOW is the time to get all of the Dragon Riding Deliciousness plus character upgrades, aerial bestiary, and all the trimmings to make aerial mounts soar in your 5E or 5.5E campaign.
