First Psalm - Violence at the Beginning of Time

I know what must be done, for I have been blessed with the knowledge and etched wisdom of the First Psalm. We will amass a great army and found an empire the likes of which have never been seen before...

First Psalm is a prehistoric third-party game based on Forbidden Psalm, the 28mm miniature-agnostic wargame. Up to two players can play through a bloody, ten-scenario campaign to become the tribe’s new leader, fighting as allies or rivals depending on the circumstances.

What's Inside?

• A new campaign featuring ten deadly scenarios. Some require you to collaborate with your opponent, while others challenge you to bash their head senseless with a gnarly club. The entire campaign can be played with two players or solo.
• 0% historical accuracy. Bash dinosaurs’ heads with clubs while dodging laser fire from enemies who came from the future to stop your ascension. Who are we to tell you not to?
• The book includes quick rules for generating pick-up game scenarios, allowing for fast-paced skirmishes with up to four players.
• Use the successor’s gifts to turn the tide of battle at any moment.
• Feats, flaws, and tons of equipment are ready to make your clan unique.
• Ride into war atop a variety of beasts, from the humble horse to the most imposing apex predator.

First Psalm is a stand-alone skirmish wargame, it doesn't require a copy of Forbidden Psalm to play. 

Print-on-Demand

When the book is ready, you'll receive a kickstarter update with a private promotional link that will let you order your own copy (or more if you wish to do so, we're not judging!). At this point you'll only have to pay printing and shipping fees through Lulu. You'll also be able to add any of my other previous books to the cart to get everything shipped directly to you in a single order!

ESTIMATED printing prices

• SOFTCOVER (A5) - 7-8 USD (80 pages, 80# coated paper, standard color)
• HARDCOVER (A5) - 15-16 USD (80 pages, 80# coated paper, standard color)

ESTIMATED shipping fees

This Kickstarter-exclusive variant cover is available only through the Hardcover Club pledge and will not be available outside this platform. However, aside from the cover, both editions of the book contain the same content.

The Bag of Bones is also available as a specific add-on for those who want to include my previous digital books with their print-on-demand pledge.

Add-Ons

My previous books for other Forbidden Psalm games are available as add-ons, including the limited edition of Regicide, which has finally crawled its way out of the crypt after years in the dark.

The Author

This is not the first time I have written a third-party book for a game based on Forbidden Psalm. My previous works include Regicide, Hostile Takeover, The Last March, and Forgotten West, all of which were positively received. Beyond that, I also have a strong track record for my Mörk Borg projects.
