Artist We Love

We also wanted to take a moment and showcase a couple of other projects going on right now that we thought were really awesome!

Wondrous Battle Maps for Your Wondrous World

My friend Domille just launched a new Crowdfundr campaign Wondrous Battlemap for Your Wondrous World.

The campaign includes nearly 400 fantasy battle maps and has several stretch goals for encounters, and more unlocked once the funding gets there! Enrich your TTRPG games handcrafted settings that are focused on story-telling elements and combat challenges. With bundles ranging from wilderness-themed, to urban, to vehicles - you will surely find everything you need to run your next TTRPG campaign.

If you are not familiar with Domille’s work, she gave us some free goodies to share with you! And if you like what you see, support her on Crowdfundr now!

Lampjack

In Lampblack, you are an artist beset with the dangerous resolution to create an inkblot—a creature made of ink. Whether you will succeed in creating and taming such a creature (or end up as its lunch) depends on the strength and volatility of your ambitions, and the ink itself.

With pen and journal in hand, you will follow prompts that guide you through your story. You will discover what drives you to create an inkblot and what happens on your journey to collect the ingredients for your ink.

Like other story-telling RPG's of this nature, such as Jack Harrison's Artefact and Fire Key's Black Sabbath, this is a fantastic way to spend time with yourself: world building, imagining, and dreaming. It's also a unique way to create new and complex monsters, animal companions, and characters for your next D&D campaign.

This game is calibrated for both the beginner—someone who's never played a story-telling RPG—and the advanced dungeon master. Its easy-to-follow prompts lead to deep reflection. You're limited only by your imagination.

Read an example of gameplay by the author here!

Wands & Laser Guns

You don't know how you got here. You don't know how to get back. All you know is that this future is not kind. And worse, it seems your magic is weakening. It's time to embrace this new future-- at least, some of it! Pick up a laser gun and defend yourself!

Pit your old-fashioned wits and wondrous new technology against diamond-studded nobility, cybernetically enhanced gangs, dirty cops with a vendetta, and high-fashion psychopaths. The struggle is real when you're far from home.

Check out Wands and Laserguns on Crowdfundr now!

These Stars Will Guide You Home

These Stars Will Guide You Home is a 1-player journaling RPG about a journey through a mysterious archipelago, and the epic poem written about it hundreds of years later. Illustrated by Ennie-nominated artist Fernando Salvaterra, it is heavily inspired by the Odyssey, the Aeneid and Greco-roman mythology in general.

Playable with a deck of cards and a coin, the player will navigate the seas using a star chart, discovering up to 25 weird and original islands, journaling about events on their thirteen ships and on land. At some point they will have to make a decision about which imperfect place to call their home, as the crew is growing tired of searching.

Once the journey is complete, the Epic phase of the game begins. Hundreds of years later, a descendent of the captain is writing the story of the journey, but things will have changed - a set of prompts will show the player what has happened in the intervening years, but most importantly the captain’s log will have been destroyed and some of the adventures will have been forgotten. How do you write an imperfect chronicle of an origin story?

Funded in less then 30 minutes!
about 3 years ago – Tue, Feb 07, 2023 at 08:49:37 AM

Wow! Just Wow!

Thank you all so much! All of the early backers, and all of the ongoing support is amazing! Before I could post this everywhere on Social Media, and to the various Discord groups I am in, this thing was fully funded! It was also at 150% funded after the first hour! 

So that means we have a Zine coming with PDF, VTT, and Print versions! 

We have 4 Monster Hunts, Lair Maps, and STLs coming! Plus our Regional Hex Crawl Map! Here are the 4 monsters we have at core! 

  • Thundercat. Thiswell-known predator prefers the cool waters of river valleys. The large cat resembles a tiger with sandy-colored fur and horns of a strange, clear blue ivory that sweeps back from the thunder cat's temple. Thundercats can absorb the energy of sound waves as it soaks up any noise while stalking their prey before unleashing waves of thunderous energy!
  • Bird of Paradise. Not much is known about this fey, but its colorful feathers and intoxicating presence has kept its finest details a mystery. Truth be told, we're not even sure if they are real or a myth, but one thing is for certain. Their feathers will be worth their weight in gold!
  • Bonemass. Deep in the Ebelon Wastes stirs a hunger so unimaginable. Local hunters avoid this region as legends speak of a beast so foul that it absorbs the prey of others... 
  • Xeroxis. Appearing as floating balls of teeth and claws, these creatures are the origins of nightmares. These creatures are hostile toward everything, seeking only to consume and absorb. They seek power only for their own sake and are known to gorge themselves on entire worlds before moving on.

And now introducing our first Stretch Goal! 

The Chaos Infused Spider...
