Our Story

Blackwyrm Books And Games is a publisher of experimental fiction and quality roleplaying games. In conjunction with Hero Games' release of the Star Hero 6th Edition roleplaying game at GenCon 2011, we are attempting to simultaneously release seven science fiction settings that can be played using the Star Hero rules. 

We're calling this entire undertaking Project WyrmStar.

The Impact

Hero Games isn't planning on releasing any settings for Star Hero: only the core rule book and some equipment books. We are hoping to "fill the gap" that leaves by releasing unique and interesting setting books that can be used to play the game immediately, rather than forcing Game Masters to take the time to create their own setting.

Lux Aeternum for HERO System 6th Edition is one of these settings.

What We Need & What You Get

We need to raise about $1000.00 to get a print run of Lux Aeternum out of the door in time for GenCon 2011.

Lux Aeternum (by Ryan Wolfe) is a cinematic science fiction setting that strives to evoke the romanticized spirit of the 17th Century Age of Exploration - a time of sweeping changes, social upheaval, and limitless opportunity. Action, drama, and grand adventure are key elements to any grand tale to be told in this setting. The absence of faster-than-light travel limits the playing field to a handful of star systems and allows this finite area to be fleshed out with a level of detail and complexity not possible in a galaxy-spanning saga.
