Hello everyone! Also... It is Wednesday, my dudes!
The swamps are unleashed! The frogs escaped their containment! With great pleasure and excitement I can finally say... The Boggits of Kingsmire product is finally out! And what a product it is! I will never NOT laugh at myself, while nearly a year ago I declared that "This will be at least 40 pages of content!" Well, it's a little more than 40. More than 100... More than 200... And also more than 300...
Listen, this BEHEMOTH of a product has 344 pages of content total. It is so big that we felt like we just need to split it into smaller chunks, but don't worry, everything releases today! Our page/budget estimation skills were the worst they ever were and ever will be with Boggits. Even if you only pledged on the crowdfunder for 18 Eur, you're getting the entire thing! So, what are you getting today? I am glad you asked!
Four?!
There are two big things here. First of all, Boggits of Kingsmire is a rules supplement with A LOT of stuff, actually 142 pages of stuff, including new character options for players, gazetteer of the Kingsmire setting, starter town of Stilton, and A LOT of new monsters (including 6 new solos!). In the PDF we also link to a Forge Steel compendium with most of the player content available for you to pick up and use. Sadly, no support for new elementalist abilities and beastheart companions yet (hopefully it will be possible to add them to FS soon!), but all the rest should work!
Then we have Adventures in Kingsmire that contain 8 low-level quests set in Kingsmire (184 pages!). One of the quests inside is Something Stinks in Stilton, which we are also providing as a separate PDF, because we want it to be a free sample for this whole package, but also a new starter (start-here) adventure for Draw Steel, just like The Delian Tomb! A LOT of people already know the MCDM starter, but now, when starting a new campaign, they can use something else that's aimed at new Draw Steel players!
The last thing is Combats in Kingsmire which is just a fun little thing we wanted to make for the map pack. You can take and use the maps from the map pack as you wish, but if you need some of our ideas, each map has its own encounter detailed in this 18 pages booklet. Just as a bonus!
I can't put into words how fun it was to make this product! Exhausting at times, but fun! Did we go overboard with content? Yeah! Did we overdeliver? I think the odds of people disagreeing are very low considering we went from 40 promised to 344 pages of content. My only hope is that people will have as much fun using this stuff as we had creating it!
The team behind this product was amazing and while all the people involved were vital and brilliant, I want to thank GubDm here the most, because, sadly, this is his last product, as he moves on to greener pastures chasing some other hobbies, leaving the Draw Steel community altogether. Thank you so much Gavin for all your hard and creative work you did on this and other projects!
Something I have to mention is: we didn't hear back from all of our Patron of the Arts backers, so in their cases, we just picked the art pieces they patroned ourselves!
Alright! Enough of this banter! Please, take all of this content, use it, and don't forget to pop into our Discord server to tell us your stories about using the stuff! Nothing makes us want to make even more awesome stuff than hearing people being excited to use the products we release! And if you like it (and also use Stawl), please head to https://stawl.app/supplements?n=Triglav and give our stuff a like!
Three last things before I let you go. First of all, all of these products are now also available in our web store (link) (though, obviously we can't sell it as cheap as we did during crowdfunding), so you can spread the word about awesome stuff being available there. Second of all, we've also released a 2.0 version of our website (link), where you can find a lot of cool stuff, including our progress on crowdfunding stuff, our products, our iconic heroes, and more! We want to increase our reach, so it would mean a lot to us, if you could sign up to our newsletter (it's available at the bottom of the page)!
And lastly, in September (very very soon!) we will be launching a new thing on our Patreon (link) - SURGE! Each month we plan to deliver to you a small piece of laid-out and arted design content, with the Codex implementation provided. All you have to do is become a member of any of our paid tiers, connect your Codex account with your Patreon account, and you should gain access to the Surge content immediately when it releases! First Surge release - TEMPEST DRAGON! (coming very very soon!)
Alright, that's all for today! Thank you so much for your support and we all hope you are happy and excited by this release! Hopefully many swampy things will happen in your games!
Cheers Mateusz "Ananam" Malarski and the rest of the Triglav Games team
