Project Update: Don’t forget the add-ons!
We’re coming down to the end of Zinetopia. 2026 and I want to thank all of you who have supported The Book of Plagues. We have hit our funding target, work on the book is coming along nicely, everything is proceeding more or less according to the original plan.
The only hitch is that we are less than halfway to the campaign’s stretch goal and ginning up some extra content for your disease-ridden use and pleasure. Fortunately, there is a tool available for you to help with this, and I’m honestly a little surprised that more of you haven’t taken advantage of it: add-ons. We’re offering our entire catalogue of RPG books at discount prices that you will never see again, since we just had to raise some of our print copy costs. Each item that you add on to your pledge counts toward the funding total, so it helps us along toward hitting the stretch goal.
At the moment, I am sitting in my hotel room in Aurora, Colorado, waiting for Day 2 of Genghis Con to begin. Day 1 was quite successful, and I am reminded of how appealing our Places by the Way and Found of by the Way series of location modules have proven to be once we can get through the signal-to-noise problem and actually draw people’s attention to them. My original intention in creating both series was to generate a library full of locations that you could drop into your campaign as needed or as desired to give your players a diversion from the main story. However, they seem to have proven more broadly useful than that — they have been run successfully as stand-alone mini-adventures, or even just scrapped for parts and individual NPCs and side quests used in a different context. It’s all good to me, and honestly, one of the most rewarding parts of this process has been hearing from DMs who have used something I wrote for purposes quite different from what I had imagined.
Now you, too, have the chance to pick up these useful additions to your library of DM tools at discount prices and help us along to the stretch goal. Add-ons! Don’t miss you chance at them!
