Welcome (again) to our passion project!

We still have time... but not a lot!

3 days! The campaign is coming to a close soon. So much has happened already. Despite being hesitant to mention it, and scared to jinx it, we have officially already surpassed our first Kickstarter and are now +185% funded with 675 followers. That is already a huge accomplishment and I thank you for that!

There's a lot of things happening in the background already. See the artwork of the sigil of the Ketsaï Creed below. Like it? Let us know!

The Ketsaï Creed

A covert organisation that's designed to keep the Aether hidden and safe. Where did they fail? How do they communicate? Who funds them? What's their cover? How do you become a member?

We will answer sooo many like these questions in the book surrounding these cults, guilds, etc. (yes including all of them we mentioned) and have continued working on fleshing them out. I cannot wait to deliver them and see how you plug-and-play them in your own games.

Is everyone enjoying their free sample so far?

I've heard some great things regarding the music by Nuno and Victor, how do you feel about it? With all your help we've gained a lot over the last 24 hours, which increases my hope we will reach the second stretch goal, but if we don't reach the third one... I'm curious who would be interested in the music as an add-on instead? Kindly let me know below or in the comments.

Please continue to share the love with your friends.

Stay awesome,

Frank

+160% Funded! Stretch Goal #1 Unlocked!
over 3 years ago – Mon, Dec 05, 2022 at 04:25:20 PM

Awesome! Really awesome!

Thanks everyone for helping us reach our first stretch goal with a whooping 5.100+ euros! 600+ followers! People enjoying the sample pdf! Just wow! 

As some promotors mentioned this is a passion project and I hope that shows and hopefully might even rub off on some of you! I'm excited to learn cool ideas you're eager to share, expectations, how you got here, where did you find us, etc. Feel free to reach out!

We've still got 10 days to go and could make it to our second stretch goal: The Tundra Mountains. A survival related mini-adventure with a white dragon, which will be added later as a supplement on our website, but this is Kickstarter so you'll get it included! What do you think? 8.000 euros should be possible right?

Can you imagine, first playing a battle against a green dragon and then fight a white dragon afterwards? Or before? Or pit them against each other? So many awesome options!

Over-over-excited..?!

Oops! Instead of leading into the Stretch Goal #1, I just jumped right into #2... Here's the artwork for 1 other sigils! The Builders Guild, their main deity is Glorworth, where they give a different meaning to honour, co-creation and pride. Their love comes from making something that you created yourself and show your own skills through your work. Sounds familiar!

Let me know in the comments or below what you think. The other one is still in progress, no worries, just a few tweaks and ready to share!

Sneak Peek to Stretch Goal #3

Love to immerse your players using music? Listened to the free samples provided by Nuno and Victor? 

Brace yourself with at least 20 minutes of songs that you could use for your own table. Eager for some blissful travelling songs, maybe a rowdy tavern? Or some tense investigation that could even play well with a social encounter? Regardless of your preference, with the third stretch goal we hope to get all these songs ready for you to play (on loop). I cannot wait for the rest of the creepy spider battle, that's just chilling every time.

Shoutout!

For some more chilling, sit back and relax while you watch the Roll Seekers play:

Check out this Tuesday 6pm CT the Roll Seekers, on Twitch or YouTube, where a group of gamers, play Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) pretty much just like us. They are currently running a game that takes place in the unfinished world of Nabell, where the Gods are dead and belief is stronger than reality. Curious to see how that works with so many classes relying on their deities? Want to see some zany, epic fun? Or just enjoy the ride while these friends are having fun!

Thanks again for backing our project!

Whilst reading these updates, have you spotted a few hidden hints or clues that I left in them..? Regardless, when you've pledged you'll learn at some point! 

Please continue to share the love with your friends.

Stay awesome,

Frank

16 days to go! And a friendly shoutout
over 3 years ago – Tue, Nov 29, 2022 at 10:59:09 PM

Hi again beautiful souls!

I watched the animated movie Soul recently, and I've got to say, we are "Jazzing". With your help we've accomplished a lot already! More than 540 people following our page, a total of 4.500+ euros and still 16 days to go, I don't know what to say other than being grateful.

For our first Kickstarter we collected a total of nearly 3.200 euros. What do you think? Can we double that with this Kickstarter? Triple it even? Spread the word, signal the deities,  scramble for the scroll that says Foresight in an odd Druidic language...

Ok, ok, enough reminiscence and dreams

Kindly let me know in the comments, or in reply to this update, whether you want to be surprised by the artwork of the sigils in the book or have me share them in an update when we reach the stretch goal! Getting so close! 

It's also possible to join our Discord channel and share your thoughts and expectations there.

Friendly shoutout

A €1 side quest for your 5E campaign that’s scalable for the levels 3-5. Rumours that a giant has been roaming the lands, raiding farms and homesteads. Regardless how your players got here, the party finds themselves facing a town in dire need of aid with their giant problem. How will they go about it?

Back this project for just €1! They’re in the final stages and only 32 hours left.

Thanks again for backing our project!

And reading these updates. I promise after the Kickstarter I will reduce the quantity of them... 

Please continue to share all the projects you're backing on Kickstarter with your friends! There are some creators out there that make some amazing stuff, but don't get the attention they deserve. Feel free to help help them out! I know I would appreciate it if someone was excited about my project and spread the love!

Stay awesome,

Frank

What happens after our first stretch goal? And another friendly shoutout
over 3 years ago – Wed, Nov 23, 2022 at 07:35:31 PM

Firstly, we see more of the Architect GM

We bring the entire book to new heights, since most of our battle maps will be done by Marcin, the Architect GM. He’s a true genius that is through-and-through creative, constantly pushing the limits of anything that’s possible with a battle map. Feel free to check him out in the bio below!

Secondly, a 3+ hour mini-survival adventure

As if more amazing maps is not enough, we will also add a 3+ hour mini-survival adventure inside the Tundra Mountains with 2+ more mini locations, Frost Giants and a white dragon encounter named Scylla “the bright” Zyssys. Perks of backing now on Kickstarter, since we will sell this mini adventure separately afterwards! Speaking of survival....

Friendly survival shoutout #1

Love adding more monsters, characters, survival-type things, etc. into your campaign? Better be quick, their campaign is ending within 3 days!

Check out the Gloaming Wild Kickstarter is a 5e survival-horror supplement introducing 320+ pages of bold new options for survival-horror characters and campaigns. Its systems and settings enhance your game, facilitating stories of desperation and heroism, horror and survival. Try it for yourself today by downloading the FREE ready-to-play 80-page starter kit and adventure linked on the Kickstarter page.

Last minute shoutout to Mr. Tarrasque and cohorts!

The Quintessential Guide to Monster Encounters is the definitive guide to building, adapting and running monster encounters. Turn your combat into an encounter and tell a story with each fight to keep your players engaged! 25 hours left...

I'd love to bring more to life for you and I'm very excited to see how far we can reach. 

Love and stay awesome,

Frank

Still going strong! Artwork next Stretch Goal and friendly shout out
over 3 years ago – Mon, Nov 21, 2022 at 06:30:28 PM

Spread the love, the word and get more stuff!

Heaps of thanks for jumping on board this project already! We reached 4.000+ in 6 days!

Some of the benefits of using this platform are the stretch goals. Meaning, you will receive more by paying less. And I cannot wait to share more stretch goals. 

Before launch, I was really hoping to reach our first stretch goal soon. For the very observant people I had already dropped 2 pieces of art in the campaign video. The Radiant Riders, fitting with the metallic dragon as the Sigil of their faction. And also, for the Faith of the Leaf, but I assume you could have already guessed that… you, know since it is an image with leaves and such.

In my excitement (on day 1…) I already started to get the Builders Guild and Ketsaï Creed into production as well. So, it's only left on our shoulders to spread the word and blast the roof off that stretch goal so you can get to see them! 

These are already looking amazing! Just imagine a castle with sigils on their flags, your cleric carrying a recognisable symbol on their chest, your fighter with ornaments on his shield, imagine it mate, it's cool! 

A way for the GM to describe a village or NPC where some players already have a connection with since they are part of the same guild. Immerse your players, make GM life easier describing things, seems like fun... Right?

Feel free to share any thoughts, hopes or dreams about the artwork of the other sigils in the comment section.

Speaking of spreading the word:

If you’re a fan of watching professionals play D&D, you should definitely check out Dice Legenz on YouTube or Twitch. They are the real deal, bringing contemporary dramatic storytelling tools from their own media experience into the show. 

Their aim is to create the most exciting, fast-paced, hilarious fantasy story EVER, and from what I’ve seen they are succeeding. They deliver an immersive fantasy adventure that uses the D&D rules to create true unpredictability, drama and action. Give them the love they deserve and subscribe on YouTube or Twitch in 7 hours!

A friendly shout out while counting down the hours!

For 12 USD you get to play adventures in Norwatch: Inheritance. 

This is a narrative module and campaign setting for fantasy TTRPG. With the pdf comes 100+ pages including encounters for 12+ sessions, a great city setting, regional maps of cities, towns and 25 battlemaps. Only a few hours left!

Please continue to share all the projects you're backing on Kickstarter with your friends!

Thank you for backing our project!

Stay awesome,

Frank
