Only Our Craft, No AI Slop
We believe in stories for people, by people. We also believe creators should be paid fairly; that’s what crowdfunding enables. When you back a project, you're funding art, editing, and actual time to do the work right, without crunch or compromise, and made with real human hearts and souls rather than with algorithms. We write. We play-test. We rework. We care.
Celebrating Diversity and Inclusion
We’re not politically correct, we’re just correct! We are loudly and proudly joined by Laura Dale in her role as a sensitivity consultant.
Revolution at Caster's Crossing includes many themes and story elements that cover Indigenous and LGBTQ+ cultures and experiences, created with intention and sensitivity. We deliver on these values not only because we care about them, but because it’s the right thing to do.
Lavish Illustrations on Every Page
Lonney Chant, Alena Lane, and and more contribute to the show-don't-tell extravaganza.
What Our Backers Help Build: From Sketch to Soul
Everything we do starts with a doodle in a notebook margin. Thanks to backers, we transform raw ideas into thrilling and inspiring modules and source books. Crowdfunding brought to life our book Soul for the Ocean Dark, and backers can help us forge our epic four part adventure and campaign setting,Caster's Crossing. These aren’t just dungeons; they’re tales you carry with you, where your table gets to fight for something that feels real and impactful, with weight and purpose.

Early access begins NOW
Hello Friends!
Keeper here, and I come bearing grand news! (I am also writing this with no editor feedback, so beware, terrible grammar is likely!)
The NEW Sword in the Jungle Deep 2nd Edition for Reservations is Available, complete with:
- New lore to link with the campaign setting of Caster's Crossing - 2 setting specific non-human classes with early lore - "Caster's Crossing Natives" occupations table
Goodies for Followers
Once the Kobold class is finished I am releasing the "Players Guide" completely for free to followers. This will include ALL the new classes and the occupations. Follow now so you get the free Player's Guide!
"But Keeper," I hear you say "won't you lose backers by giving away the new classes for free???" Perhaps, but I have to continue trusting the community that has supported us all this time. You, dear followers and backers. I have to trust you with all my heart, and trust that you will do the right thing. You've lifted us up, and you've given us hope. I need to trust you as much as you trust me. It's the only way we can create this incredible world together, and the only way I know how to play this game that I love.
Holding back the Kobolds
This has been an intense and careful amount of work, which was delayed a bit as I tried to hammer out the Kobolds. In the end I decided to hold them back to work on them carefully. I've had some many sudden epiphanies, but this also means that I need to set many of my ideas to the side and reconsider them "in a bubble". I am dying to tell you more, but I'll hold back for now.
Early Layout PDF Incoming
We've begun working with a new layout designer, and it's super exciting to see what they can do. While I was able to do the layout myself, having someone else take on those duties means more time tweaking, testing, and creating. Our team grows, and your world expands.
That's it for this week, thank you for your support, and don't forget to follow along and share the adventure!
