And when the submission requirements are met, a character of your own can join the official materials through a custom portrait.

Who is this pledge for?

For GMs whose campaigns wander from haunted places to crowded city streets, and collectors who want both adventure families, the two city settings, both regional lorebooks and map packs, plus a personal character reward.

From Blun to the Temple

We begin in Blun, where a frightened village lives beneath a cruel baron’s rule. Slip among its secrets, perhaps behind a mercenary’s disguise, then follow the prequel toward the Temple and the greater corruption waiting within. Our enhanced Blun setting lets you linger with the people whose lives hang in the balance. All three products: Multi-system; Physical + Digital.

  • 1 × The Temple of Inquinatious Evil: Enter accursed halls where sinister factions bargain, scheme and serve the influence of the Four Lords of Corruption. Face devious puzzles, cruel traps and powerful adversaries. Our GM reference material keeps the threats at hand, while maps, NPC portraits and player handouts bring their faces and surroundings before your players. Character levels: D&D 5e 8–10; Old-School Essentials (OSE) 8–10; Deathbringer 8–10.
  • 1 × The Befouling of Blun: A mercenary disguise may carry your heroes into this oppressed mining village, but a careless word could betray them. Uncover the baron and council’s secrets in the Temple prequel, where deception and courage must work together.
  • 1 × The Village of Blun - Enhanced: Venture beyond the immediate mission, from the seat of power to the dark workings of the mines. Expanded locations, inhabitants, relationships and hidden intrigues give curious heroes more to discover behind Blun’s fearful silence.

Into the Sha'adenmere, back to Etholmm

Leave the familiar road and wander into mist, twisted woodlands and broken strongholds. We’ve paired the Sha’adenmere’s dark expanse with an Ed Greenwood mystery and an expanded Etholmm, where a return to village life may be rather less restful than your heroes hoped. All three products: Multi-system; Physical + Digital.

  • 1 × The Environs of Gyzaengaxx Volume 2: The Sha'adenmere: Explore a horror sandbox north of the Barrowlands, with troubled settlements, ruined places and mysteries beyond the trees. Follow its lore, locations, maps and GM resources into expeditions of your own, wherever the party’s curiosity leads.
  • 1 × A Malady of Mimics: Ed Greenwood has given Etholmm a most unfortunate infestation of emimickers, ravenous shapechangers hiding as everyday objects. Follow the clues and question what seems harmless. Run this mystery as a sequel to A Trouble with Rats or as a standalone adventure.
  • 1 × The Village of Etholmm - Enhanced: Meet the neighbors, learn their affairs and discover the relationships and secrets beneath ordinary village life. Our expanded locations and colorful inhabitants welcome the party back between expeditions, with unfinished stories waiting at familiar doors.

The Tomb and the Barrows Region

A wizard’s tower waits above. Old secrets lie beneath. Around them, the Barrows Region stretches into a landscape with troubles of its own. We’ve brought together the earlier Gyzaengaxx adventure family, from an ill-fated cellar errand to the mysteries of the Tomb. All three products: 5e only; Physical + Digital.

  • 1 × The Tomb of Gyzaengaxx: Brave a grimdark tower of traps, puzzles and dangerous discoveries. Unravel its lore, outthink its perils and enjoy the dark humor tucked among the terrors. Ingenuity may serve your heroes better than another charge through the next door.
  • 1 × The Environs of Gyzaengaxx Volume 1: The Barrows Region: Wander beyond the Tomb into a region alive with history and conflict. Discover its locations, meet its NPCs and cross paths with factions whose concerns may pull your heroes into entirely new adventures.
  • 1 × A Trouble with Rats: The vermin beneath the Gray Hawk Inn behave with unsettling purpose. Follow their trail through hidden passages and strange magic as a humble errand opens onto a much larger threat. Bring your curiosity as well as your weapons.

East Verdestia awaits

Read of a place that catches your imagination, find it on the map and decide who might be waiting when the heroes arrive. We pair the region’s lorebook with its maps for journeys beyond the Tomb, the Barrows and the new adventures. Both products: 5e only; Physical + Digital.

  • 1 × Cyclopaedia Zyathica Volume 3: East Verdestia: Journey into the region’s peoples, places and history. Let an old conflict color a new encounter, follow a local mystery into the wider world and discover what lies beyond the heroes’ next destination.
  • 1 × East Verdestia: Zyathé Map Packs: Spread out the regional maps and let your players trace the journey ahead. Pick the next destination, follow the route between adventures and see how far curiosity might carry the party.

The intrigues of West Verdestia

Above, Darkenhaven’s rival powers pursue their ambitions. Below, Gloomport’s deals are struck in a cavern harbor with dangers of its own. We’ve joined these two city settings to West Verdestia’s lorebook and maps, so your heroes can follow a secret through the streets and then out into the wider world. All four products: 5e only; Physical + Digital.

  • 1 × Darkenhaven: Enter a city of political intrigue, rival factions and secrets worth pursuing. Meet its NPCs, explore its districts and entangle the party in its competing ambitions. GM references, maps and handouts keep the people and places of the city close at hand.
  • 1 × Gloomport: Descend to the cavern harbor beneath Darkenhaven, where criminals, factions and uneasy bargains jostle for power. Explore its locations, meet its characters and bring its shadowed streets before the party with player-facing materials.
  • 1 × Cyclopaedia Zyathica Volume 2: West Verdestia: Venture through the region’s nations, cultures, history and landmarks. Follow the forces that shape its cities, discover the lands beyond their walls and find a wider stage for your heroes’ ambitions.
  • 1 × West Verdestia: Zyathé Map Packs: Unfurl the regional maps and chart the next journey. Locate the places that caught your eye in the lorebook, trace a route beyond the city gates and put the wider world before your players.

Treasures for your collection

Bring two campaigns’ print rewards together, then let a character of your own step into the official materials through a custom portrait when you meet the submission requirements.

  • 1 × Stretch Print Package (The Temple of Inquinatious Evil) (Physical): The campaign’s Tier 1 and Tier 2 stretch rewards in Physical format, excluding dice, as they unlock. Product-specific qualifications still apply.
  • 1 × Stretch Print Package (The Tomb of Gyzaengaxx) (5e only; Physical): The earlier campaign’s print reward package, alongside the Tomb and Barrows Region products in this pledge.
  • 1 × Custom Character Portrait, with inclusion in the official materials subject to full payment and timely submission.

Your character in the official materials

After the campaign ends and your pledge is paid in full, you must submit your character by February 28, 2027 for your custom character portrait to be included in the official materials. If you miss this deadline, you will still receive your custom character portrait, but it will not be included in the official materials.

Stretch rewards

Includes all unlocked Tier 1 and Tier 2 stretch rewards in print and Digital. Printed rewards are included through the Temple Stretch Print Package, excluding dice. Your pledge price is locked in now, no matter how many stretch goals we unlock! Stretch rewards depend on our funding goals. Product-specific qualifications stated for each reward also apply.

Delivery

Shipping for Physical rewards is charged separately after the campaign through the BackerKit pledge manager. Physical reward shipping is expected to begin in July 2027; arrival dates vary by destination and transit time.
