Stretch goal #2 unlocked, new goals announced!
about 1 year ago – Sat, Mar 22, 2025 at 11:33:15 AM

Happy Saturday everyone!

We have hit stretch goal two! This unlocks another pack of artwork, lore, and an NPC for the manual!

We also announced two more stretch goals as we get into the last week of the campaign. Beyond the 2,000 level stretch goal, we have added another pack that will unlock at $3,000 and a new bonus one-shot that will be unlocked if we hit $5,000! The bonus one-shot would also draw from the creatures in the manual, but would be unrelated to The Silent Throne.

Thanks again for all of your support, we couldn't do it without you!

Thunderholm — a place to seek treasure and glory, a perilous world that doesn’t care if adventurers live or die.

Sneak peek at The Silent Throne one shot and artwork
about 1 year ago – Thu, Mar 13, 2025 at 09:55:14 AM

Good morning! We wanted to give you a quick update with some of the artwork going into Demons, Dragons, & Heroes, as well as a sneak peek at the adventure summary for the included one shot.

The Silent Throne is 9 pages of adventure with 4 spectacular maps that will be in print, jpeg/png, and VTT-ready packs. It is set for characters of level 10-12, but the creatures in this manual can be used to easily up or down-level the adventure to suit any party!

The Silent Throne is hours of fun and has multiple hooks to get your party on their way!

Artwork teaser:

Who doesn't like big ol' bruisers? We sure do! As part of the first stretch goal pack, we're going to show you who is coming to play!

The Hollow Remains: 4 Haunting Italian Horror RPG Scenarios

The Hollow Remains is a handbook of four horror scenarios inspired by iconic Italian settings, each reflecting a different subgenre of horror.

Our goal is to enrich roleplaying sessions with atmospheric and detailed scenarios and provide storytellers with ready-to-use tools for developing compelling narratives.

The handbook starts at 48+ pages (60 at the moment), which can be expanded with Stretch Goals. Each scenario contains:

Introduction & Synopsis: Description of the atmosphere and characteristic elements, background with historical and narrative details.
Ecosystem, factions and society: Narrative ecosystem and factions, with dynamics and secrets to uncover.
Places of Interest: Three important locations (+1 thanks to SG) that are crucial to exploration and story development.
NPCs: Three non-playable characters (+1 thanks to SG) with clearly defined motivations and roles.
Maps: Three detailed maps (+1 thanks to SG) for exploration and encounters.

Funded, Stretch Goal 1, and cover progress, oh my!
about 1 year ago – Sun, Mar 09, 2025 at 03:19:42 PM

It's been an exciting couple of days over here as we not only reached the funding goal in a little under four hours, but we also hit our first stretch goal too! Thank you to everyone that has jumped in and backed this project. We're super excited to get this into your hands!

As if that wasn't enough, the cover illustration is nearly finished -- take a peek here:

We hope you like it as much as we do!

Now, onto stretch goal one. This is the first stretch goal pack, so it includes additional artwork, lore, and an all-new NPC/monster along with magical items :) Once the artwork is ready on this one, we'll unveil it in a backer-only update so you can get a sneak peek!

We're also less than $300 away from the next stretch goal too, so hopefully we'll hit that pretty soon also!
