Update time!!
about 5 years ago – Sat, Mar 09, 2019 at 12:29:13 PM

As promised, I have an update! We are moving right along with production. We have the cover art completed for the two modules that will be included in the box set. Also, we are nearing a finalized list of races and classes. For classes, we have cleric, druid, fighter, magic-user, necromancer, paladin, ranger, thief, dwarf, elf, gnome, halfling, and half-elf. Yes, race is a class. If we hit $11,000 raised, we will add in the monk class! Staying true to the old school, human is the only race that picks its class. We are also attaching some art and text examples. Keep in mind, we are going through final layout still! The dots will all connect soon! As always, if you have any questions, feel free to ask away!

More Stretch Goals!!
about 5 years ago – Sat, Mar 09, 2019 at 11:57:28 AM

As promised, we have new stretch goals!! With how the campaign has gone so far, I'm sure we can reach these!! Here is the description of them!

Stretch Goal #6 – $11,000 - Monk Playable Class (Locked!)

Once we hit $11,000 raised, we will add in the Monk class to the Player’s Handbook. Get ready to catch some projectiles!

Stretch Goal #7 - $12,000 – Random Dungeon Generator (Locked!)

Once we hit $12,000 raised, we will add in a random dungeon generator to the Dungeon Guide! In the Dungeon Guide we outline how to create your own dungeon; however, these charts can be used for gaming on the fly! We will have the monsters, magic items, and traps necessary to create your own dungeon at random!

Stretch Goal #8 - $13,000 – I1 Grave of the Green Flame as a B/X Module Add-on (Locked!)

Once we hit $13,000 raised, we will make I1 Grave of the Green Flame as an add-on through Backerkit! This is a true SOLO module that only requires a single player to play. It reads like a pick-your-own-path adventure but as an RPG! It will be compatible we our B/X system. We will also be contracting a new cover for this adventure. It is currently available on our website but for 1st edition. 

It was the oldest trick in the book. A man on a dark road asked for directions and you let your guard down. You awake in a nearby inn with a bruised skull and ego. All your possessions are gone, but your courage endures. Helped by the kindly and concerned innkeeper, you are equipped and the chase is on. The bandits fled into the forest, but you will have your vengeance. Yet there is more to the old forest than some petty bandits. Somewhere inside lies the secret of the Grave of the Green Flame.


Thank you again,

Stretch Goal #5 Unlocked!!
about 5 years ago – Wed, Mar 06, 2019 at 04:07:01 AM

Just like that, we have broken $7,000 raised! Again, thank you all so much for your support. I’m going to sound like a broken record, but it really does mean a lot to us. We have now unlocked 20 more magic items and 10 more monsters. The stretch goals we will release in the coming days will aim to continue to beef up the books. We are shooting for making most of the stretch goals free to most backers. We want to continue to give back as much as possible :) We will keep you posted as we release more goals. Thank you!

New Stretch Goal Announced!
about 5 years ago – Tue, Mar 05, 2019 at 11:39:59 AM

At the time up this update, we are well on our way to $6,000 raised! As promised, we are here to announce the next stretch goal. The next stretch goal will be unlocked at $7,000. Once unlocked, we will add in an additional 20 magic items and 10 monsters to the Dungeon Guide. This stretch goal is absolutely free to all backers as it will simply be added into the book. The magic items and monsters will be spread out over all 18 levels of play. This way, you don't just get an additional 20 magic items and 10 monsters that are unusable once you pass a certain level. Thank you all so much for the support! Continue to share with friends and fellow gamers so we can keep expanding upon the books!
