After a couple of tries with the (very) outdated print guidelines by DrivethruRPG, I can finally say the book is now available for print. Check your inbox (email from DrivethruRPG) if you backed this project!
This was a learning experience for me, I am incredibly grateful that you were a part of that.
I was on vacation when I got the email from Backerkit saying that my coupon was available for getting my printed copy. I looked at it, and then decided that I wanted to deal with it when I got home. Now that I'm home, I am attempting to actually redeem it, but DriveThru is telling me: "INVALID DISCOUNT MAX USES: THE SPECIAL DISCOUNT YOU ARE TRYING TO USE HAS ALREADY BEEN REDEEMED THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF TIMES ALLOWED." I just looked at it. I didn't use it.
Is there any advice on how to proceed?
Thank you.
Quick message that after jumping a ton of hoops, we are 99% sure we now have a print file that will meet expectations and can be printed by DrivethruRPG. I am ordering print proofs asap and once those are in, and I can give'm green light, you'll get a print code in your inbox.
As you can see from some of these screenshots, the test printing didn't go as expected. I won't go into too much detail here about what went wrong, all I can say is that there is a video coming about the issue that will help you better understand.
The good news is that we tracked down the errors and are now working on fixing them. Hang in there.
I wanted to quickly jump in to say that I ordered what I hope are the last print proofs for this adventure. If these proofs are good, I will give the green light, and you all can start ordering your physical copies of Isle of the Dreaded Accursed for the Cypher system!
I just wanted to jump right in that the print version of Isle of the Dreaded Accursed is almost ready. I am expecting a proof very soon, if that one hit's the nail on the head, we are good to go. I hope you already had some great adventures with the PDF.
Just a little bit longer. Thank you so much for your patience.
I want to thank all of you for your patience. Bringing this adventure to the Cypher System is a big undertaking. Especially since we are converting ALL creatures, player races, magic items, monsters, ... We are almost done with the text and the adventure will go to layout very soon. So only a little while longer until you can hit the high seas .
Just a quick update to say thanks to everybody who was a part of this! The team is already hard at work making this adventure the best it can be. Expect an email with the free 5e PDF in your inbox soon.
It's the last 48 HOURS for Isle of the Dreaded Accursed; Cypher System!
Double good news. Firstly, this project is fully funded with 270 backers. Also, because I want everybody to enjoy this adventure equally, every pledge now has the option to get the Foundry VTT version as an add-on for a very attractive price point!
When I talked about bringing Isle of the Dreaded Accursed to the Cypher System with some people, they almost exclusively told me the Cypher community was small, but very supportive. I'm glad to say they were right.
The team and I are eager to start this conversion and bring it to your table. This Wednesday we'll be having the first (post funding) meeting, putting pen to paper immediately. Stay tuned for more updates.
More art?
There's still a long way to go if we want to fund the extra art from the hand of Bryan Syme. But if you continue to share this campaign, I believe we can make it.
A fan of weird horror? I am!
On the Mystery Flesh Pit National Park website, an alternate 1973 timeline begins when oilmen accidentally drill into a living behemoth spread over hundreds of miles just beneath the dusty plains of west Texas.
Within the Pit is a vast subterranean geobiological ecosystem filled with enormous anatomical systems and strange phenomena; all of which defies scientific understanding. What began as a roadside tourist oddity, the Mystery Flesh Pit, run by a charismatic oilman James Jackson, was brought under Federal control in the 1980s as a National Park.
Now that we are closing in on our funding goal, it's time to talk about our first stretch goal. Does the name Bryan Syme ring a bell? Not only is he an amazing freelance artist, he's best known (at least to me) for his amazing work at Kobold Press.
An example of Bryan's work
It would be an honor and a privilege to be able to work with Bryan when we reach the first stretch goal of 10k raised. The adventure will instantly look and feel even better than the 5e version.
This RPG needs to fund!
The Vineyard RPG does not only offer a ton of amazingly deep villains to pit against your players. It has en entire undead criminal organization, called The Vineyard, they can join, or work against. Judging from the (huge) free samples, the writers are some of the best in the field, and especially the villain dialogue options are what set the tone of this gothic horror RPG.
There are two things I want to share with you today. Firstly I was a live guest of the amazingly welcoming people of Cypher Unlimitedwhere I talked about Isle of the Dreaded Accursed, the Cypher System and role playing in General. Secondly, I came across another Cypher Kickstarter project called Harrow: The Blighted Plane, Which is a Crystal punk Setting in a Fallen Fantasy World that has a potentially cool tie in with Isle of the Dreaded Accursed. But before you scroll down, a congratulations is in order, we've hit 80% of our funding goal and that's because of YOU! So make sure to give yourself a high five.
Talking Isle of the Dreaded Accursed with Cypher Unlimited!
Are you a fan of Dune? Treasure Planet? Or maybe even some Waterworld?
Well, not only does Harrow: The Blighted Plane fit in those genres perfectly. Me and Jess (the creator) got talking and very quickly came to the conclusion that it's a perfect fit with Isle of the Dreaded Accursed!
Since Harrow: The Blighted Plane has built-in ways for you to add additional islands and locations of interest to your campaigns, with very few alterations you could drop the Isle of the Dreaded Accursed into your future Harrow games for your characters to explore, scavange from, and overcome.
Thanks so much for acting so fast and getting this project over the 50% mark. Although we still have a long road ahead to make this the best it can be, I am humbled by the support from the Cypher community. Heck...even Monte Cook Games themselves have backed the campaign!
If you want to see this become a reality, including the VTT version (fingers crossed), share it with everybody who's ever seen or heard you play the Cypher System, 5e, Pathfinder or even Settlers of Catan.
