over 1 year 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!

over 1 year 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.

80% of the way! 7 days to go!
over 1 year ago – Mon, Nov 25, 2024 at 09:37:20 AM

Greetings generous backers, thanks for joining us on this journey. We're getting close, only $1400 USD to go with 7 days left! We would love to reveal those stretch goals!

The Journey to the Castle (80% of the way)

As the adventurers make their way towards Hart Castle, they encounter the Mushroom Army face-to-face. Several types of fungi creatures and a number of mutants are among the ruined buildings. Piles of rubble, floods, fires, and other hazards continue to make the journey challenging. 

The heroes will also encounter several NPCs with their own agendas. Some are fighting the invading mushroom people, some are members of nefarious factions with other motivations.

Only 10 days left! 74% funded!
over 1 year ago – Fri, Nov 22, 2024 at 09:25:48 AM

Hey everyone, thanks for backing the book! Right now, the project is 74% funded, and there is enough time to fund and achieve the stretch goals—there are 10 days to go! We'll continue to advertise the Kickstarter and spread the word. 

The Journey to the Castle (74% of the way)

After leaving the Docks District behind, the adventurers enter a poorer city district. Hart Castle is visible in the center of the settlement and ruined buildings are everywhere. The river has also flooded this area. Many of the damaged structures are shops, halls, temples, and houses. Some survivors are fighting the invading Mushroom army, but most are fleeing for their lives. 

Mutants are wandering around and can lurk in many of the ruins. Hazards include fires, floods, falling debris, makeshift bridges, and others. Bandits and gangs of thugs are taking advantage of the situation and looting what they can. 

Meanwhile, the Mushroom Army has begun rebuilding the city walls. They want to secure the city they've captured, so the rescue mission just became even more challenging!
