Backerkit surveys sent out!
8 days ago – Fri, Dec 20, 2024 at 10:10:40 AM

Hey everyone, This is a quick update before the holidays. We just sent out the Backerkit surveys to collect your information and give you a chance to add other rewards. If you don't receive your survey, message us on Kickstarter and we'll send a new one.

Next steps

The manuscript will be done soon, and we'll commission the art and maps in early January. We will also work with a few backers to include their NPCs in the story. 

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

Success!
25 days ago – Mon, Dec 02, 2024 at 07:06:30 PM

Thank you to 235 generous people! The adventure has been funded! Travis, Wouter, and I look forward to making a great book for you. 

Next Steps

It takes about two weeks for Kickstarter to verify pledges. Then we can get you the Backerkit so you can look at the add-on options. 

In the meantime, we'll finish the manuscript and edit. Then Travis and Wouter will get notes on the other art and maps. Our target date to complete the project is March. However, it's possible the PDF could be ready sooner. 

Other News

The final printed copies of the second print of the World of Myrr campaign setting and the Rise of the Mushroom King adventure are due at the office any day. It's a busy time!

Funded! A couple of days left to get the stretch goals!
27 days ago – Sun, Dec 01, 2024 at 08:45:57 AM

Yes! Thanks to our generous backers the funding target has been reached, and we're psyched to make a cool book for you. Now, we have all of Sunday and most of Monday to achieve the stretch goals! Please share the project far and wide. It wraps up tomorrow at 6pm PST/9pm EST.

The First Stretch Goal

We're pretty close already to the first stretch goal. This will add a full city map of Rivenhelm and other maps by the Voyager's Workshop! It will also add many more encounters to the adventure.

The Three Stretch Goals

The 2nd goal will double the amount of new monsters/NPCs with illustrations.

The 3rd goal adds an illustrated Players' Handbook (PDF) full of new classes, races, deities, magic items, and spells. 

The Journey to the Castle (We're there!)

Our heroes discover the Mushroom Army is camped at Hart Castle. Not only has the army come to the surface, but the Underworld itself has emerged. Strange subterranean plants and an unending darkness are spreading into the ruined city. An entrance into the Underworld is also discovered at the castle. The Mushroom Queen is on the throne and there is a surprising twist!

Final 48 hours! Let's fund this and get some stretch goals!
27 days ago – Sat, Nov 30, 2024 at 06:53:02 PM

Greetings everyone, thanks for backing the Kickstarter. We're almost there with 48 hours to go. We'll reveal 3 stretch goals once we're funded.

Please share the project far and wide. It wraps up on Monday at 6pm PST/9pm EST.

The Journey to the Castle (99.15% of the way)

The castle is in sight! A party of adventurers has successfully made their way through the ruined city of Rivenhelm. They've dealt with mutants infected by spores, the bizarre Mushroom Army, bandits, and many hazards. Now they see the ruins of Hart Castle, still partially intact. The heroes plan to enter the stronghold, defeat the Mushroom Queen, and rescue Queen Wyld.
