Hello dear people,  
I would like to tell you that one of my friends, ~Urikson , is doing a groovy project about Fantasy saga in Israel: Tales from an Israeli Storyteller , so he would like to tell you the next:

-------------------------------

Tales from an Israeli Storyteller

Hi,
My name is Uri and I am a fantasy writer and game designer from Israel. You can read about my work and publications here.

In my line of work, I have written a lot about other worlds, but I am yet to write about my world. I am not talking about your world, or the world on the News, or in the history books or that dude over there's world. No. I'm talking about my world. I'm talking about fantasy Israel.

So, what makes this book different from any other fantasy anthology out there?

Tales from an Israeli Storyteller is unique in two key aspects:

It's Semitic Fantasy

Israel is a beautiful and fascinating place. Merely looking out of a car window fills you with four thousand years of wonder, magic, and horror. It is a country of dark contradictions – a land of ancient history that hails to times before the flood, and an all-too-fragile modern civilization. It is a land where you can meet ghouls, golems, genies, talking animals, angels, lilin and other wonderful. In short, it is a very cool place.

Besides, why should Greeks and Vikings have all the fun? The Gods and Monsters of the Old Levant want to be heard too...

You can read more about it here.


It's Real Fantasy

Yes, it's an oxymoron. Allow me to explain. This is more than just a fantasy story cycle, one writes as he sits in front of the computer, sipping tea and listening to bands you've probably never heard of. This is a nice and accurate guide. These stories are not made up, they are told by land. I am merely translating them into words and pictures. The land is generous, but it is also harsh – it does not tolerate tell-tales, so I oblige it by truly listening to what it has to say.

More to the point, I only write about real place that I really visited and which really inspired me.

You can see some of the coolest places I've visited here.

So, where does my money go?

Publishing costs money. There is editing, art, layout, cover design and other boring technical stuff. More importantly, this book is inspired by a real life adventure, and real adventuring costs real money. Gas, food, entrance fees, protection money, blood money, coins tossed down magic wells, sacrifices unto minor spirits and retired deities, that sort of thing.

This is more than just a book. This is an expedition, and, like all expeditions, it depends on the patronage of good people.

Do you really need 5,000 bucks to write a book?

The short answer is, "no." I need about 1,000 dollars to cover all the expenses of producing this book in its barest form. However, the more you give, the more awesome this book will be. It will have more cool art, more fun addendums and more stories full of win!

Just remember – the more you give, the more you get.

I want to help this project, but don't have money to spare right now. Can I still help?

Certainly! I need the green gold to pay for editing, art, layout and so forth, so contributions will be very welcome. But money is not everything in life (presumably) – drawings, experiences, and even magic stories of your own -- all are welcome!

A note regarding the perks – each perk includes all the previous perks. You don't have to choose – the more you give, the more you get!

Thank you for your help!

------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope some of you would be interested in this project. From what I've seen from this guy, I can tell you, he has 1-st degree in English literature and he really rocks it. He sure knows how to interest, so I think that the fruit of his project might be truly an epic.

I would be really grateful if you had something to contribute.
Thank you and see you!
