Well. It's been fun. This has definitely been the most successful Sorcerer Verrükter campaign so far! Thank you to everyone who has put their faith in me. This is a great adventure, and you are going to love reading, running, and playing in it.

93% to unlock More Art
It looks like "The party panicking because their [REDACTED] are [REDACTED]" has wrapped up the More Art poll with 53% of the vote!
Once the campaign ends, the arting begins! Fulfillment is planned for November!
If you haven't backed the campaign yet, now is the time! Also, please share the campaign!

Stretch Goals
We've cleared the fourth stretch goal: Sticker Sheet, and are 93% of the way to the fifth: More Art! We've got about 4 DAYS LEFT! Don't make it all for nothing! All those people voted and everything!
Speaking of, it looks like "The party panicking because their [REDACTED] are [REDACTED]" is going to win the poll unless someone does something about it!
Next Steps
The design, writing, and layout are done! It has been given the go-ahead by the Dark Master! Now I just need to draw and ink about 40 illustrations. I'll send periodic updates sharing them as I go!
Conventions
I'll be hanging out, running games, and testing plays at the following cons over the next six months:
Ettin Con 9/25 - 26 • Evanston, IL This is year three for Ettin Con in Evanston, IL. They have over 70 events scheduled: Call of Cthulhu, D&D 5E, Cy_Borg, Public Access, Grimsburry, Hyperboria, Delta Green, Mystic Punks, something called Everybeing Is John, and many more... The cream of Chicago's TTRPG super nerds are coming in hot!
Gamehole Con 10/15 - 18 • Madison, WI One of my faves, and one of the best places to playtest. Everyone comes to have fun and push the big red button! I'm looking for one more GM to help run DCC RPG games! Reach out ASAP if you are interested. You get a FREE badge (refunded after the con), a FREE room (that you get to share with me!), and all the other GM perks!
Midwinter Con 1/14/27 - 17 • Pewaukee, WI I love this con. They take great care of their GMs. I get to hang out with all my cheesehead DCC brothers and sisters. It's affordable. It's chill.
Polar Vortex 2/12/27 - 14 • Lisle, IL Bigger than Ettin, smaller than Midwinter, Polar Vortex is a great time. More family-oriented than the others, this one leans more toward board games, but has a growing TTRPG contingent.

Play mystery-solving teens at wizard school! This is a standalone ttrpg that focuses on hijinks and investigation. Compatible with Dungeon Crawl Classics (DCC).
Study magic Solve mysteries Survive graduation
This 200+ page book features gorgeous cover art by Sanjulinan, and interior art by Teresa Guido, Dax Hamon, Kiril Tchangov, and Bruno Prosaiko.
Academia Arcana is filled with four core classes, 30 spells, numerous table generators, dozens of monsters, students and faculty, two adventures, and solo rules. We are also working with writers from the Dungeon Crawl Classics community to create supplemental zines filled with extra monsters, classes, adventures, and more!
Academia Arcana launches on BackerKit about an hour after you got this email!
I am honored to have contributed a yearbook Clubs and Societies section's worth of NPCs to compete with, conspire against, or court. ;)
It is that time of year again! Time to demonstrate your fealty to the Purple Sorcerer!
They have been providing indispensable online tools to make running DCC RPG even easier. I know I couldn't live without them. This year, they are dealing with more than server costs and a list of upgrades they want to make. Wildfires in their Spokane, Washington home have made their lives more difficult than usual.
We're in the middle of the desert in a sailboat, and there's no breeze.
That's right! It's that part of every crowdfunding campaign when all of the early folks have contributed, but the last-minute support hasn't begun to arrive. The period where I manically refresh my browser and have my spirits crushed again and again as number not go up.
But! For only $15, you can make a difference in an old grognard's life. Only you can save this poor middle-aged man from severe dopamine withdrawal.
If pity doesn't work, how about stuff! We're over 90% of the way to a radicool sticker sheet, and over 75% of the way to a new piece of art for the zine. Don't forget to vote on which piece you want to see!
Seriously though, THANK YOU to everyone who has backed the campaign so far. It is already a major success in my book, and I am very grateful.
Please consider backing the campaign if you haven't already, and if you have, please share it with your friends and on social media.
What's next? At $5k, everyone gets a sticker sheet! Even if you backed at the PDF-only tier! You will receive a sheet of stickers of art from previous Nerdronomicon publications!
Fingola Owle and some Magic Items of Questionable Utility from The Sorcerer's Return
I know it's premature to get excited about it, but the stretch goal after that, at $6k, is another piece of art for the zine, and I want you all to choose what it is! Keep in mind that I didn't want to give too much away, so I had to withhold some info.
Vote now, and please share the campaign! You can do so by clicking the share button in the top right corner of the campaign page!
Easy peasy
Thank you for making this the most successful Sorcerer Verrükter campaign yet!
Two Stretch Goals Down! The First 48hrs have Passed!
Come on! It hasn't been three days yet, and The Sorcerer's Conundrum has already outperformed The Sorcerer's Fate and The Sorcerer's Return! Not combined, but still!
On top of that, we've already cleared the first two stretch goals, and we're 90% of the way to the third!
Thank you so much!
The First 48hrs have passed, and with them the FREE sticker sheet. But fret not! A different, but equally awesome sticker sheet will be added to your booty once we cross the $5,000 mark.
hint. hint.
Also, I've decided to extend the sticker sheets and Pzuzle Mtsaer sticker to PDF-only pledges as well!
Well. It's been fun. This has definitely been the most successful Sorcerer Verrükter campaign so far! Thank you to everyone who has put their faith in me. This is a great adventure, and you are going to love reading, running, and playing in it.
