If Castle Zagyg Act 2 reaches $400,000 by 12:00 PM CST tomorrow (Tuesday, April 14), every backer will immediately receive a free PDF of The Undying War,one of our bestselling campaigns for Castles & Crusades. With Castle Zagyg Act 2 built for the Castles & Crusades system, The Undying War offers an immediate way for groups to learn the rules, engage players, and build momentum at the table.

Additionally, you'll help us unlock our 400k Stretch Goal: Castle Zagyg Miscellany! This never-before-published material has been compiled from Gary's notes, where he details the optimal ways to fill any empty space in Castle Zagyg. He includes tables of random oddities and encounters, sounds and smells, items and item-shaped dangers, as well as notes on when to use these tables. Castle Zagyg Miscellany is an additional book of content for your Castle Zagyg campaign!

All the best,
The Troll Lords

 

Greetings from the Troll Dens!
 
 Hey and hello!
 
 As promised here is the snap shot/preview of a portion of Level 2 from the CZ Vol. 2 The Cellars. This level is massive. What you’ll find here is ¼ of the actual map of Gary’s level. The listed room and their occupants and challenges give you a good snap shot of where we are.
 
 For reference, Level 2 is completed. Level 3 is completed, though some directional orientations are being worked on by Jeremy per Steve’s request (he asked that the maps be shifted to lay width-wise behind your screens, not long wise). Level 3a should be done by launch of the next campaign. Peter Bradley has merged, though we’ve not seen it yet, Gary’s maps for Level 4.
 
 Without further ado, here is the snapshot/preview for Level 2 of the Cellars, as well as Vol 1 if you missed it.
 
 No call for errata just yet!

Important Note: Please do not feed any part of our Castle Zagyg Volumes, or any other preview copies of our Gygax properties, into AI chat bots or other large language models for any reason. The rights to these properties were very carefully negotiated over many months in court and there are rules in place for us concerning how we are allowed to distribute them. Feeding this content directly into AI LLMs may impact our ability to continue to produce these volumes. Our victory in court was hard-fought, and we care far too much about the legacy of these books to jeopardize our future ability to produce them. Please help us out by refraining from feeding these volumes, in part or in their entirety, into AI programs!

Thank you!
