Project Update: April is Lovely on the Purple Planet

Hello, horde!

It’s time to check in on the Purple Planet and let you all know how things are going. The weirdling sun is as weird as ever, the kith are planning their next barbecue (don’t accept an invitation), and great progress has been made by those of us toiling under the Dark (Ascended) Master’s lash.

The big news is everything is in layout right now. Tome of Adventures #2 and #3 are just about ready to roll out the door, so work on the Purple Planet has been the focus of our efforts. The book is done with preliminary layout and I’ll be meeting with Matt Hildebrand later today to hash out a few lingering details. I anticipate we should have things sorted this week and can then push on towards wrapping thing up. Here are a few images of the page spreads we have finished to tide you over in the meantime.

You never know what you'll find (or what will find you) on the Purple Planet.


A Doug Kovacs' tomb map and a Harley Stroh guide for looting the dead.


Hey,, kid! Wanna play a Kith?
A is for Android Guardian. Kids' spelling primers are weird on the Purple Planet.


Just another Tuesday on the Purple Planet.


Meanwhile, Harley Stroh just sent me the final stretch goal this morning and that’s off to editing. The dice inserts are long done and Doug Kovacs is working on the art for the dice tubes right now, along with some other choice imagery that will be included in Tome of Adventure: The Purple Planet. We’re all extremely pleased how quickly things are coming together on this end to fulfill this project as swiftly as we can. I wouldn’t be surprised if the next update is one telling you we’ve sent everything off to the printer! Stay tuned for more in the next few weeks. 

Until then, here are some new Doug Kovacs pieces to blow your minds and sear your eyeballs while you’re waiting.

Project Update: Commencing Countdown, Greenstone Engines On

The surface of the Purple Planet is in sight as we prepare to land at 9 PM Eastern tonight! It has been a fantastic crowdfunding campaign and we’ve exceeded our best expectations thanks to all of your support. We couldn’t have done it without you!

But we’ve not landed yet under that weirdling sun and there’s still time to join the Adventures On the Purple Planet...And Beyond! Backerkit campaign before we touchdown. Why hop aboard now at this last minute, you might ask? Here’s a few stellar reasons to do so:

  • A 20% savings. Backerkit backers receive a discount when supporting the crowdfunding campaign versus buying retail.
  • Access to unique stretch goals. Stretch goals such as the additional monsters, relics, warlord, a new tomb, and more are only available to Backerkit campaign supporters. 
  • Bonus goodies gained by supporting multiple Backerkit Purple Planet crowdfunding campaigns. The 3d6 dice set and rune-inspired game material are exclusive to backers supporting multiple Purple Planet DCC Horde Backerkit campaigns. 

Plus, you don’t want to make these guys angry! Pledge before time runs out!
"What?! You didn't back 'Adventures On the Purple Planet...And Beyond?!!!'"


Backers new and old are encouraged to join Joseph Goodman, Harley Stroh, and Michael Curtis tonight at 8 PM Eastern on the official Goodman Games’ Twitch stream as they countdown the last hour of the campaign. Joining them will be some of the 3PP members of the Purple Planet DCC Horde to discuss their campaigns, answer questions, and possibly even hint at things to come. All that and more over on Twitch tonight. Don’t miss it like this guy did!
"I should have watched the Purple Planet Countdown Show on Twitch!"


And don’t forget out Roll20 For DCC Backerkit campaign is also ending tonight. We’re achieved the Charactermancer stretch goal and are within reach of adding another classic DCC RPG adventure to the Roll20 bundle. Stop by the Roll20 for DCC Backerkit page to pledge and get access to some amazing VTT goodies.

Project Update: Adjusting Course for Final Approach

Greetings, beloved backers! We’ve successfully passed the middle of the Backerkit campaign and are now adjusting our trajectory for the final approach the Purple Planet. Make sure your space trays and phlogistonic chairs are in their locked and upright positions.

This has been a fantastic journey so far, but we’ve not yet arrived at our destination. We still have some greenstone in the fuel tanks and plenty more planned before we reach the Purple Planet. Thanks again to everyone who has joined us and the rest of the Purple Planet Horde on this journey into the unknown, and welcome to those of you who are coming to check things out thanks to a recent update over on Enworld. We hope you’ll like what you find here and want to get involved in this monumental crowdfunding campaign.

We’re so close to the next stretch goal, the Judge’s Map, a thick cardstock screen with the Purple Planet hex map, marked with locales of interest, published on the interior side for the judge’s ready reference. This will be an incredible useful gaming accessory and the perfect counterpart to the unlabeled Players’ Map the PCs be using as they tread cautiously across the Purple Planet. If there’s anything you’ve been thinking of adding to your pledge, now would be a great time to include it and bump us over that next stretch goal. We’re not finished with stretch goal plans either, and we’re looking forward to revealing what we have in store next once the Judge’s Map is reached.

But this campaign isn’t just about us here at Goodman Games. We have a number of 3PPs helping out and we certainly hope you’re backing their campaigns as well. To that end, we’d like to invite you all to tune into the official Goodman Games Twitch channel this coming Monday at 6 PM Eastern for a special 3PP-centric Twitch stream, “Meet the Horde.” This show will feature some of the third-party publishers participating in Adventures On the Purple Planet…And Beyond!, giving them the opportunity to discuss who they are and what they’re bringing to the Purple Planet. Please come check it out.

Roll20 for DCC
I also want to remind you that we’re currently running our Roll20 for DCC Backerkit campaign. That campaign has funded and we’re working our way towards our first stretch goal, a Charactermancer for Roll20. Leveling-up your DCC RPG character is a snap with a charactermancer, so let’s help spread the word and get that goal reached. You can back that campaign here, so please stop by and take a look.

That’s it for now. I hear the war drums of the Kith outside my window and I need to go see what that’s about. Stay tuned for more awesome Purple Planet news in the days ahead, and be sure to catch “Meet the Horde” this Monday at 4 PM Eastern on the official Goodman Games Twitch channel.

Hi! The Crawler Companion allows to select Harley's PP occupation table (with PTSD US Soldier, Space Monkeys etc...) Would be cool to have it in print inside the book as well. That's all for me, Bye!

Project Update: Long live the Horde!

Conquerors of the Purple Planet! 

Thank you, one and all! As the dust settles over the bloodied field, and the gribb circle the sky in anticipation of their grisly harvest, we can only sit back and give thanks. To each and every backer that joined our mighty Horde and carried us to its triumphant conclusion: thank you. 

You are the heroes of the Purple Planet. Your efforts unearthed a trove of new content for our far-flung world. Amid the treasures are new foes, new magic, new relics, and entirely new locations on the high plateau! (To say nothing of an ominous new Ascended Master, anointed with drops of Aqua Mortis and seated upon the Throne of Stars high atop the Ancestor Peaks.)

At Goodman Games we write and run the same adventures that we want to play: to explore ancient tombs in search of forgotten (or forbidden!) knowledge; to take up strange and powerful relics from a lost age; to lead hordes of rebel kith against the hateful Ascended Masters; to gaze down from atop the Ancestor Peaks, with all the weirdling planet spread before us. These are the adventures that call to us. 

It's rewarding when those same adventures resonate with you, and doubly so when other publishers take up that same torch. At their heart, RPGs are most exciting when they are a collaboration between the artists and writers, and judges and players. Each has a role to play bringing the world to life, and this is where the magic is.

We'll have much to share in the coming weeks and months. You can expect new artwork, teaser content, sample layouts, and the beloved Squash the Typo previews. But until then, thank you for being our co-creators and for helping to bring the Purple Planet to life. 

To the Horde!

I've really enjoyed this campaign and it's not just the multiple parts of the Horde that have made it fun. To me it's all the engagement with other backers, the conversations, the multiple polls and interaction with the creators. I never got this involved other than the odd message of support in the 300 or so campaigns I've been involved in on Kickstarter. So my thanks to Backerkit and obviously to Goodman Games for using the platform for the Purple Planet Campaign. This is my first real involvement with Backerkit, sadly I couldn't get onboard for the previous Grimtooth's Traps Campaign.

I was wondering whether in the fullness of time Adventures On the Purple Planet would also be considered for conversion to the Roll 20 platform since that Backerkit Campaign has also be a success? If it is, are there also plans to convert The Chained Coffin adventure or perhaps DCC Lankhmar material or DCC Dying Earth?

Hello, Thanks a lot for this really nice horde projects! I've backed for all the campain of the hord and I was waiting for some information about combined shipping (especially because I'm in EU), but unless I missed there's still no clear statement about this. Any chance to have more information about this before the final countdown? Thanks a gain a good luck for the final hours!

As newbie to the world of DCC, the experience of backing the Purple Planet collection of projects has been stellar! Not only have I discovered a plethora of creators, adventures and accessories for my games, but I’ve also run into very nice people who have shared generously from their experience and preferences. I’m coming away not only with the goodies from the projects, but also: - Fantastic book and film recommendations - Lists of mind-blowing adventures to try - Links to amazing online shows, many hosted by the creators of the projects themselves - Many other incredible game resources It’s been incredibly fun to enjoy this campaign, and I’ll miss coming back to check out other people’s comments, though I’ll have to come back to compile all the treasure listed above. All the best to all of you lovely Purple Planet people!

I'm signed up for a boatload of items, but I'm wondering if I'll be able to add a few more after the pledge deadline when my next paycheck comes in? Thanks!

Hi there- I'm a loyal DCC fan who previously backed the Purple Planet and Lankhmar Box Sets. As usual, I am looking for a reason to back this project, but am honestly very confused over which level to pick or if any of them make any sense for me since I already have the original Purple Planet and Lankhmar KS box sets. Is there any new material outside of just getting these in nice hardcovers with slipcases? Just looking for any advice on what would make sense in terms of pledging. Thanks!
