Space 1889 is THE original Steampunk roleplaying game, created by Frank Chadwick in 1988. Or rather: it's 'Steampunk light' the way you might know it from the works of Jules Verne, which makes it easier to turn into a movie than typical Steampunk stories. In the world of Space 1889 the colonial powers of Earth – thanks to Thomas Edison's invention, the Ether Propeller - were able to conquer other planets of our solar system and make contact with the lords of the Mars channels and Lizardmen on Venus. The new edition of Space 1889 was funded thanks to a Kickstarter campaign by Clockwork Publishing some time ago. It's the ideal setting for adventurous stories in a streampunky sci-fi setting.

Here's a short teaser for our film which at the same time is a pretty good introduction to the setting in general. In „Secret of Phobos“ you will, of course, get a short introduction to the world of Space 1889 in which Thomas Edison and Jack Armstron reached Mars with the help of their spaceship prototype nearly 20 years before the main story-arc begins. These two iconic characters will be important to the plot, but the main story is about a young female adventurer, Armstrong's niece. Civilization 5 Iso Full Game. Together with her Martian butler and a young writer she gets caught in a huge conspiracy: her uncle's and Edison’s mistakes from the past make her a target for a dark cult and the last hope for a Martian princess. Our heroes' journey leads them from Venus back to Earth, to Mars and finally to Mars' eerie moon Phobos.

It features ancient secrets, wild chases, dinosaurs, drama and and a well dosed portion of humor - as we are fully aware that this is a very low budget project and those shouldn't take themselves too serious. Dinosaurs are one of Space 1889's important elements – at least in the jungles of Venus. For a long time we wondered how to bring these creatures to life in a CGI-free film and in the end we decided to use an animatronic suit. If you don't know how they look look like, here's a. Those suits are pricy but it's worth it. With a little luck we will be able to pick up the suit at the factory in China personally.

And this tour through Asia will be the topic of its very own documentary. This will give us the chance to use some breathtaking landscapes as background for Mars scenes we will shoot during the trip. At least two of the film's actors will accompany us to China, so this trip is part of the film's production but has not to be financed via this campaign.

General thoughts Wow. What a sad, beautiful book. In the beginning I struggled to read on, the characters seemed too stereotype, the story average.

It all changed after around 200 pages. The plot got interesting (even though in parts still a bit too slow paced), the writing beautiful, and the characters grew on me. I was especially fascinated by all the theories about birth, rebirth and afterlife for the several races, how they make elves, humans, dwarfs, trolls etc. Live their lives in completely different manners, and how friends find to each other throughout various lives. And by how a love can last for centuries. I was mesmerized by the contrast between the different worlds. As an example, here we learn how someone sees part of the human world with his 'elven' eyes: 'Life was simple.

The most important thing you had to remember was to watch out for bad-tempered pigs roaming the muddy village paths. There was no luxury.

The coarse wool that the women spun scratched the skin. The houses were drafty, and the smoke stung your eyes when you sat till late in the longhouses and drank and told stories.' The characters Mandred I hated Mandred at first. He seemed the stereotype big muscles no brain guy. While the story progresses his character gets more depths, I got to know him as a loyal-to-death friend, the probably bravest man in the world, and someone who could always make me laugh or at least smile with his activism and a bunch of his lines. Nuramon His family despises him for the fact that his soul has been reborn several times throughout the centuries without ever having found the purpose of its existence and therefore never entered the moonlight. He is a healer and one of the two suitors of Noroelle, who cannot decide herself between him and Farodin.

Throughout the story he becomes so much more than that though, and he was the first character who I really started to like and I felt so much with him until the very end. Farodin 'There's only one way for you to live, isn't there, elf? And anything that deviates so much as an inch from that is wrong' He is the second suitor of Noroelle, the most powerful elven warrior and secretly the queen's assassin.

While his face is 'that of an elven prince from the old songs, with a countenance whose fine elegance was praised as the glory of the Alben' and he is a hero to the elves, he is a very closed, serious character who keeps to himself and has little patience. Only once I understood the reasons behind his secrecy better, he grew on me though. 5 Stars The Elven by Bernhard Hennen, James A.

The thing that stands out most is the wonderful characters that Hennen has created. The Elven is filled with many colorful characters, none so much as the lead character Mandred. Mandred is a human warrior and is larger in life both in size and spirit. He reminds me a great deal of one of the greatest fantasy warriors of all time.Karsa Orlong from Steven Erikson's The Malazan Book of the Fallen series. It is really hard to believe that this is a translated novel as the writing is superb.

'The water sprayed high, raining over their heads as they dashed at full gallop through the stream. Felbion charged up the embankment on the other side. Nuramon ducked under a low branch and turned to look back. Mandred had to do all he could just to stay in the saddle. The human was clinging to his mare’s mane and looked unnaturally pale. His riding technique had certainly improved in the years they had ridden in search of Guillaume, but he was no match at all for his elven friends.'

The length is the only negative as it is nearly 800 pages long. Thankfully the story is a true page turner with very few lulls along the way. The book is complete and it really does not matter if there are further stories making this into a series.

This is a standalone novel with a great conclusion. The magic is used sparingly but often enough to just keep us feeling it's place. I adored my time that I spent with these characters. This is a great read. I highly recommend this book to fans of old school epic fantasy.

This book started so promisingly, with action and humour, but has turned into.I don't know what! Coming across a scene from what I will call 'female oriented erotica' (the word 'manhood' is even included in this context) was a massive shock. Even though I am used to those scenes in GofT, and Robin Hobb's novels, it cannot compete. The other thing I cannot understand is how the writer decided what to write and what to summarise. Yes, the summaries are quite well written, but I would have liked to see them expanded into much larger parts of the text as they are, quite honestly, more interesting than the rest of the story. As I didn't finish the book, which is rare, I can only rate what I read. If you do decide to read it, be prepared!

After having read the Elfenridders trilogy I started reading this book. And it didn't disappoint! I've been gripped by this story and had to force myself to do things like study and cook next to reading this novel. What can I say, the characters speak to me, the epic adventure spanning over a thousand years, the elves constantly being shocked by Mandred's rough behaviour, and the ending colliding with the ending of the Elfenridders trilogy.

After finishing the book, I had to force myself to keep it closed and not start reading it again immediately, because it needs to be returned to the library in four days! If I were to summarize this book in one word, 'uneven' would be it. This is one of those stories that probably would have benefited from a bit of editing. To me it felt like two different books: a slow, tedious behemoth and a fast paced page-turner.

What I really liked were the battle scenes where the outcome is far from given and also the overall tragic tone of the story is a nice touch. The triangle love theme was not my cup of tea and luckily the foucus is shifted elsewhere after a 3.5 stars. If I were to summarize this book in one word, 'uneven' would be it.

The triangle love theme was not my cup of tea and luckily the foucus is shifted elsewhere after a couple of hundred(!) pages. The key for the presumptive reader is 'staying power', the reward will come. This book was slow in parts, but every time I got fed up with it, something would happen to drag me right back in! I enjoyed the length of it, it was nice to have a leisurely tale to mull over. It is more of a winter book to sit by the fire with, than a summer whirlwind.

All the characters grew on me, so I ended up liking most of them,even the horrid ones! I will read this book again as I am sure I missed connections and subtleties and besides there are sections I just want to visit again.

Overall it was a pleasure. (Spoiler-free) Let this masterpiece of my childhood be the first book I am ever to review. Be gentle with me! I have read The Elven when I was about ten years old and I remember wanting to borrow it from my local libabry. But the book was shelved as adult fantasy and so I wasn't allowed to take and I had to call my mom because she had to give her permission.

Praise to my mother that she has never bothered to check the books I read (unlike my TV shows, how is that for double moral standard?)!

Well, I am digressing. I absolutely love the book series and everything written by the same author. They among the best German fantasy has to offer and so I was delighted to see that they were finally translated into English. The set-up of the story is pretty classic. It features humans and elves and dwarves. And I can almost hear you yawning for the worn-out cliched premise.

Let's put it out: I HATE THIS KIND OF HIGH FANTASY! I have read my fair deal of Tolkien (which I really like), I have read Eragon (I was young and innocent then) and everything else I could just not bring myself to finish or to even remotely like. Not so this books.

I LOVED THEM. The first time, I read the novels, I was in love with the characters. And when my favourite character who is sadly not prominently featured in this book, pseudo-died, I went into depression mode for a couple of days. And cried a lot! (I was young then, well younger than now).

So let's review! This one is actually really hard for me to review because it is the first one in a series and while I consider The Elven among his best, maybe even his magnus opus, it is not my favourite. I started with Elven Winter which is about be released (READ IT!!!) and I am just more emotionally attached to it and its sequels than to The Elven.

You can see that the author has grown as a writer and that his story-telling and his charcter development is just so much more complex. But let's go back to first one, the Elven. The story chronicles the lives of three friends who journey together and who shape the world around them. And it features a love triangle. Yes, I abhor them too, but it is well done and while it is integral to the story, it is not prominent and barely takes up any page time. You have Farodin and Nuramon, two elves, who are both courting Noroelle, also an elf, when they meet Mandred (human). Mandred is the jarl of Firnstayn, a Skandinavian-ish town, who is confronted with a demon of the old times and enters to Elven world to get help.

Together with nuramon and Farodin, he sets out to destroy the devanthar and to save his town and all he holds dear. Actually, I don't want to take away to much from the plot because there are some really tear-jerking and tragic twists in the way the story unfolds.

Let's just say that you have to pass the 250-pages mark to really appreciate the story. Everything before is pretty classic fantasy, but after that some pretty original and unexpected things happen. Also, the book features the best plan for world dominion you have ever seen. It is simply amazing.

I can't vouch for the English translation, but the German text is very well-written. Vivid descriptions, epic fights and distinctive voices. The best thing is that the characters speak realistically (that word is spelled wrong, isnt it). They speak how people of their time are supposed to speak, yet easily understandable.

You also see the differences between the well-educated, polished elven and the rough, supposedly-savage people of the Fj0rdland Other things I liked -unexpected deaths which could easily take up with Game of Thrones -inserted legends where you can see how the happenings are distorted through story-telling and people passing it on. They are hilarious! -decent humour Other things -This book contains rough language and a few sex scenes, though they are rather moderate, compared to the sequels;) Things I didn't like: -Not enough Ollowain ( he's the proga of the sequel and my favourite character ever) -rushed ending: the author should have cut some pages in the middle and added them at the end -some really slow scenes (this gets better in the next books) Conclusion: It is one of the best German fantasy books and among the best I have ever read. Shaolin Kung Fu Books Pdf. I absolutely recommend it for everyone who likes epic high fantasy. You will not regret it. And then you can read the follow-ups.

Elven winter is coming out in 2018. It is so amazing. Just read it! Okay this got really long.

I should take money from the publisher;-). The Elven by Bernhard Hennen and James A.

Authors Bernhard Hennen and James A. Sullivan have combined well in an ambitious venture which depicts the epic struggles between the forces of evil and good. When I started with the book I had my doubts. I was not sure how I could finish this tome of nearly 800 pages.

But as the story progressed, it captivated me in ways I never thought a novel of this nature could. The world building was impressively done. What a stupendous magical elven world of Albenmark the authors have created for their equally fascinating and endearing characters! Nuramon and Farodin zipped through the worlds and centuries to dare the impossible, and to challenge a fate from which there seems to be no escape. Together with Mandred, the Son of Man, they lunge at dangers, and tasted defeats as they inch closer to the final battle and to their destiny. What an incredible characters!

If I were to choose one character that I feel really outshines the others, it would be Nuramon. As soon as he appeared on the scene I felt an instant liking for him and his amazing journey through the story is the stuff legends are made of. Unlike many other books where the secondary characters are ill-conceived, The Elven’s array of supporting characters are wonderfully designed, with each of them playing a special part in the story. Each of them specially planted into the story to fulfil the larger purpose of the story.

The Library of Iskendria occupies a special place in my heart. It was impressively mounted, and it would be nice to visit such a place. One of the most touching scenes in the story was the --spoiler alert-- death of Mandred. It means the end of a friendship that withstood conspiracies, battles and the eternal eye of fate. Mandred’s friendship with Nuramon and Farodin was not only based on mutual trust and understanding, it was a friendship based on the need to destroy the common enemy. But Mandred, Nuramon and Farodin were all poles apart. They were as different from each other as it possibly could be, and yet they were friends and were for one another.

One for all, and all for one. You will be overcome with emotion as this wonderful friendship comes to a close. If you are in for an epic fantasy which is a mishmash of science fiction, fantasy, fairy tales, and mythology with all kinds of creatures populating a world which is truly out of this world, then The Elven by Bernhard Hennen and James A. Sullivan is the novel that you have been waiting for. A book on this scale in terms of size and imagination is not to be missed. But if you are the type that always go for a quick read, then do not bother with this one.

I adored this novel. Seriously adored it.

It's one of the first books in the fantasy genre that I've delved into (and one of the first translated books I've read, too), and I'm thrilled that I took the plunge. My review is pretty much going to suck because I don't want to give anything away.I simply want to rave about the awesomeness of this amazingly EPIC journey I was just taken on.

My review is pretty much going to suck because I don't want to give anything away.I simply want to rave about the awesomeness of this amazingly EPIC journey I was just taken on.

I experienced time travel and elven magic; love that lasts through several lifetimes and crosses through numerous unbelievable boundaries; wars waged in the name of a false god; journeys involving friendships forged, honor, betrayal, forgiveness, revelations; and so, so incredibly much more. I laughed out loud, I exclaimed out in anger, I triumphed with my fellow victors, I awaited breathlessly for what was to come next, and I cried bitterly at the loss of a dear friend. I have never read a book quite like 'The Elven' and, to be honest, I feel a bit bereft that it's over. This is one that I will GLADLY read again one day. This might sound kind of stupid, but I almost feel. 'fuller' right now for having read it. It was an honor journeying with these characters.
