7th Stretch Goal Unlocked! Final Hours!
over 2 years ago – Thu, Aug 31, 2023 at 03:02:13 AM

24 Hours Left! 7 Stretch Goals Unlocked!

Thank you for your support and if you haven't backed us yet, we are in our final hours. Pledge now for exclusive Kickstarter discounts! The Platinum Edition will never be available again! (It will have extra content i.e. additional battle maps and art, and I throw in an amazing discount on our high quality 3D printed miniatures in our online shop.)

7th Stretch Goal: Random Encounters in Azkarr's Prison 

When writing Bandits of Siege Tower I thought it would be nice to create 3 random encounters that the players could stumble across. The encounters included combat, social interaction, and exploration. You can add all 3 encounters to your adventure and easily expand Bandits of Siege Tower into two 3 hour sessions. You could also take those random encounters and drop them into any of your campaigns. During playtesting, Mike Collins, the DM decided to run all three and managed to tie two of them in together, turning those random encounters into a side quest. 

Azkarr's Prison will now be getting a random encounters page that you can use to add more flavor to that adventure or drop into any of your adventures. I will be working on these over the next week.

72 Hours left and playtesting.

Only 72 hours left! If you haven't backed us yet, be sure to check out our rewards to get discounts that will only be available to Kickstarter backers!

Over the weekend we did some playtesting of Bandits of Siege Tower. I usually like to 3d print and paint all the miniatures for my games but it has been a crazy month so I supplied paper miniatures for the GM to use.  (Picture at the bottom.) Some poor decisions made by the players, like splitting the party, and a solo barbarian jumping down a ladder without checking to see what is below resulting in a 40 foot drop into the BBEG's lair resulted in a TPK. It was some good roleplaying and we all laughed for a long time, and will probably laugh about it many more times in the future. 

Feedback on the adventure was great. Our old school GM, Mike Collins said it was a well written adventure and he had a blast running it. He ran all of the random encounters included in the adventure, tying a couple of them together, embellishing on backstories of the NPCs, and really made the adventure his own. The players had even more fun playing it and did not mind the TPK. I did adjust some stat blocks and will do some more playtesting to make sure it is not too easy or deadly. 

Check out the fantastic projects below and thank you so much for your support and making this project possible!

Click the picture to head to Corsairea City of Rogues!

This is a new campaign setting that can be used with virtually any fantasy RPG system.

Corsairea is a city built by, and run by criminals. It is a place where danger and secrets hide behind every corner.  This is a place where characters go to find that rare (and often illegal) item they've been searching for. This is where thieves and rogues go to hide from the law. This is the city that looks the other way on pretty much any activity.

Included in the book are pages of history and lore of the city, dozens of NPCs to inhabit the city, laws and things to watch out for, as well as several adventures (written for 5e) to get the ball rolling on this setting and to introduce your players to the world and characters that inhabit this fair city!
