Time for another Sunday Dungeon

Good Morning Glorious Backers and Currious Onlookers,

Seeing as today is Sunday its another chance to win one of my one-page adventures for both 5th Ed and OSR rules.  So let's see if we can get to 200 backers by the time I get up on Monday morning.

Here's my quick sketch map

Incidentally, 200 Backers, is the total for the next Monsters are People pdf, where I detail an OGL monster in both 5th ed and OSR stats, this time for an eight-hit dice monster, so tomorrow morning should be a double win!

So spread the word about the campaign on your favourite social media channels, or get off the fence and back the campaign.

Onwards and upwards!

Sunday Dungeon 2 (and 3) Funded

Good Morning Glorious Backers and Curious Onlookers,

Well, you lot rose to yesterday’s challenge and when I logged onto my pc this morning the campaign was £2150 EXACTLY! So thanks to the new backers and folk who upped their pledge you are getting not one but two one-page dungeons, which along with last Sunday’s brings us up to three free pdfs.

Here’s a bit about what’s in them.

The first one which I showed you the map of yesterday is a small coastal village filled cute, adorable Halflings. I’m currently in the Cotswolds on holiday (which I often think is as close to Tolkien’s Shire as you are going to get in reality) and that back in the 80s Halflings where regularly the target of readers rants in the letters page of White Dwarf magazine. So why not make the Halfling inhabitants the literal enemies/opposition of the adventure?  It's called the Warblers of Fuddlewick and more I will not say here, you’ll have to wait until I release it.

Dungeon 2, Orge Island  came into being in a flash of inspiration, during a quiet moment of the day. It is set on a remote island, blasted by high winds and rough seas. Once the retreat of an order of benevolent seers, the Gods of Evil sent a group of Orges, both monstrous and more human-like intelligent ones, to bring down their temple. That they did and years later the island is a mix of buildings and ruins, with an underground set of tunnels and chambers, which hide a horrible secret.

I’ll confess I’m having fun doing this, and it helps the campaign keep momentum over the slow weekend period, so everyone’s a winner! I’m already looking forward to the final Sunday of the Campaign.

Thank you for your continued support

Enjoy

Good morning Glorious Backers and Currious Onlookers,

It's Sunday, so it's time for the next Sunday Dungeon challenge. If we get to £2150 by the time I wake up tomorrow, I'll get Glynn Seal to a nicer version of this map and do the words and layout to turn it into one page dungeon for all backers :)

Monsters are People 4 & 5 Funded

Good Morning Glorious Backers and Curious Onlookers,

I'm playing catch up with updates, and I noticed that we'd hit the next two community goals for Monsters are People since we've passed 140 & 160 backers respectively.

So to the ever-growing list, I've added

• Buku the Giant Alpha Baboon (4 HD)
• Venka the Werewolf (5HD)

Next Monsters are People (no. 6) is at 180 backers. Tell your friends on social media, and we'll fund more of these NPC character profiles, which are 4-5 pages long, in pdf format for all backers. If we get to ten or more, I'll collect them all and make them available as a POD book.

Enjoy

Cover for Fires from Below

Good Morning Glorious Backers and Currious Onlookers,

Just thought I'd post this detail from Jon Hodgson's lovely cover for Paul Mitchener's recently funded Fires From Below. 

The full version is a gorgeous wrap round cover.

Jon will be doing the covers for the remaining stretch goal adventures, so if you like what you see here there's more to come :)

Enjoy!
