Hey you beautiful people!

So…it’s been a little over a year since I started my game design journey…and lemme tell ya, it’s been one heck of a ride.

Over this past year, I have met some amazing people, made amazing connections, and made amazing games, generating over 7,000 downloads at the time of this post.

I never thought I would be as successful as I would be, and I have to thank all the amazing people who made it possible for me to be as popular as I am.

With this, though, I have left Twitter, and will be using this space as more of a blog than anything else! I’ll be posting poems, stories, game reviews, devlogs, and anything else I find rad! There will be no schedule, but expect at least one post every 2 weeks.

I’m so excited to get this page back up and running. It’s gonna be so dope to just post…what I want here!

I hope you all have had an amazing year! Here’s to making this an awesome 2022!

Updated Neon Nights Page!

August 17, 2021August 17, 2021 ethanhreynolds

Hey there!

So it’s been a wild 3 weeks, let me tell you.

In the first 3 weeks, I have sold over 50 copies, with nothing but absolute praise. It is a joy to be able to distribute a quality product to people who genuinely enjoy it!

That being said, there’s a ton more work to do!

There are plans for another game to release this year, as well as a fully fledged expansion to 1e of Neon Nights to release within the next month or so.

I have also updated the “Works” tab and the “Neon Nights” page to add both my Kofi and DriveThruRPG stores. Give it a look!

Thank you all for your support. Whether it was when I posted poems daily, weekly, or now, not even monthly, or read any of my short-stories, or just left a comment, the momentum that led to me selling my first game started here. I will always be grateful to you all.

I hope you all have an AMAZING day, and if you would like to support me and my game, head over to https://thelorusatlas.com/neon-nights/ to snag a copy for only $4.99!

Sincerely,

-Ethan H. Reynolds, founder of The Lorus Atlas

Neon Nights: Digital Edition Pre-Purchase Out Now!

July 23, 2021 ethanhreynolds

Well, the time has come. Neon Nights has officially been released to the world. You can purchase it on the Neon Nights TTRPG page under Works on this very site, or by using this link: https://thelorusatlas.com/neon-nights/

Please wait up to 48 hours for your PDF to be emailed to you due to projected quantities of sales. After 48 hours, please email lorusatlas@gmail.com if you have still not received your PDF.

Here’s the text trailer for the game!

In Jeriko City, everybody wants to be somebody. Who do you wanna be?

Neon Nights is a cyberpunk/dystopian tabletop RPG set on Earth after a nuclear war devastated the entire planet. After hundreds of years roaming the desolate, irradiated Great Wastes, megacities emerged from the dust of deserts. Where there was once crumbling roads and dancing dust devils stand skyscrapers towering over hundreds of thousands of roaming pedestrians walking the streets of Jeriko City, located on the East Coast of the once powerful United States of America.

Neon Nights has nearly infinite ways to build your character(s) using a vast Perk system that caters to every imaginable playstyle in an RPG. Want to specialize in long-range combat using sniper rifles? Go for it. What about using deception to trick and lie your way to victory? What about a steroid-fueled maniac who craves nothing more than gore on their baseball bat? This game is perfect for you.

Freedom is paramount in this RPG, and the moment that you begin playing will be all you need to fall in love with this completely new and original system designed by Ethan H. Reynolds.

So, will you follow the law, and use the state to make your name? Or will you rebel, and watch banners fly because of your courage? It’s up to you to decide.
