Backers who received complimentary copies in their pledges should receive codes by email tomorrow morning, PST.
Reason being, Roll20 sends out individual codes. This means we need to send all 50-ish of you an individual email with the code.
We're on it! But we have something for you to jump on:
Many folks have yet to reserve their copy of the dungeon monster cookbook for the upcoming Goodman Games megadungeon, Delicious in Whiterock!
If you're one of them, go to the teaser page and click the "Reserve Your Spot for $5" now.
The $5 you contribute goes toward your pledge, so you're getting Delicious in Whiterock for no extra charge! Here's a glimpse at the sketch of the cover by Stefan Poag, which will be a full-fledged hand-made painting:
We love the detail, the diversity of creatures and the downright weirdness of this image. And we can't wait to get it out to as many of you as possible, so don't forget:
As for the contents of Delicious in Whiterock, it includes 21 actual recipes for monsters from each main level of Castle Whiterock, along with tips on how to battle your future meals.
Grab your copy by reserving for only $5 on the teaser page now! Everyone who reserves and pledges for Descent of the Ancient Fane at the print level gets a copy. Be sure you do too!
Just a quick Monday update for those backers who pledged to receive a Roll20 Version of When the Stars Cried Despair for either DCC or D&D 5e:
We've completed the modules as of this morning and submitted them to Roll20 for review.
That review process usually takes 1-2 business days, whereupon we can request codes for you to get your complimentary copies.
All in all, we expect up to 4 business days for this process, but we hope for it to be accomplished sooner. We'll update when we send them out, along with instructions on how to redeem the code on Roll20 for your copy.
As ever, we can hardly wait to hear how you're enjoying the adventure. Send us your stories of valor and horror!
Most of all, thank you for being the reason for When the Stars Cried Despair!
We shipped When the Stars Cried Despair on Saturday, meaning this starter adventure at the end of the world is days away from your post box, bookshelves and gaming tables.
And that means your Descent of the Ancient Faneand the secret history of Castle Whiterock is about to begin!
We'd hoped to psych you up for Descent of the Ancient Fane and Castle Whiterock in April by having you able to play the Descent's funnel, When the Stars Cried Despair, from now until April. We're thrilled to fulfill that mission!
We hope to hear your feedback soon, as we're especially proud of When the Stars Cried Despair. It's excited and terrified gaming groups at conventions thanks to Judge Bahasa Ingeris - including the upcoming Castle Con in Rochester, MN, from January 22 to 25! Now this one-of-a-kind funnel will be yours.
But as we were assembling the shipping boxes, reviewing each name on the labels with gratitude, we came to a sad conclusion: So many of you are missing out on The Mouth of Mentius!
You have to check this dungeon zine out! Whether you're a Dungeon Crawl Classics fan or a Dungeons & Dragons 5e afficionado, The Mouth of Mentiushas a unique adventure for you - ancient Roman ruins mixed with weird fantasy. This full-fledged, old-school-style dungeon abounds with excitement:
Like hand-drawn art by Faith Murphree!
And our new format that makes it easier for judges to run! This is the Old-School Essentials version, but just imagine it in Dungeon Crawl Classics or D&D 5e font and styles.
And as you can guess, it's not just available for DCCand D&D 5e - it's also for Old-School Essentials (B/X, AD&D). Each version has distinct variations that empower the kind of tale those systems are best at telling.
Why the urgency?The Mouth of Mentius is available for $11 for a print edition,only during BackerKit's Zinetopia (Feb 2-27). That's $11 for:
73 rooms over 4 levels
18+ unique monsters from Roman myth and weird fantasy
20+ unique magical items
3 warring factions you can RP with
Danger, drama and intrigue in the Sunken City of Sublime Sin!
Don't miss out on Mentius! Hop on over to BackerKit, follow it now, and be there to grab it at the BackerKit-only price of $11!
Beyond that, my friends, we have so much planned: Descent of the Ancient Fane erupting onto Mega Dungeon Month as our Castle Whiterock tie-in. A remaster of A Tale of Two Sisters with the goblin megadungeon mentioned throughout fully detailed and tools to craft a true "sandbox" story from your campaign. And, in 2027, the full-fledged campaign setting for Northern Lohre.
We're so grateful to have you on this journey. You survived the crunchy, early-level adventures of our team's growth. Now, it's off to some jaw-dropping mid-level action. Thanks for being an important part of our party.
Now watch those mailboxes and count your blessings, for it's When the Stars Cried Despair!
