Latest Updates from Our Project:

More Dungeons and Other Stuff!
almost 2 years ago – Mon, Jun 27, 2022 at 07:31:26 PM

Excellent weekend. And now we're moving into our last couple of days! Over the weekend, we passed the $6k and the $7k mark. Which means that we have 4 more dungeons being added to the book, bringing our total to 58 as of right now. We can go higher! Let's keep this rolling! Share the campaign, and we'll keep moving along and adding even more to the book!

Also, by passing the $7k mark, we've also unlocked the magnet!

So what's up next? Well, we have something fun. We did this supplement a while back, but haven't offered it in a while. It's a book full of random encounters, puzzles and even plot hooks for your dungeons (and frankly can be added into some of our dungeons here). 

All this, plus we're still going to keep unlocking more dungeons for our book!

Thanks! Remember, without you, these books wouldn't happen!


We have a cool one for this update!

A few of our maps are dwarven-themed including one exploring an old dwarven mine, and one which features a dwarven king becoming a lich. If you love dwarves and D&D, you should check out By This Axe, a sourcebook for dwarves. 

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/autarch/by-this-axe-the-cyclopedia-of-dwarven-civilization

All of the lore in By This Axeis presented by a point of view character, a sage from the Tower of Knowledge of the Auran Empire named Sürcaneus. Sürcaneus is the self-proclaimed inventor of Dwarrology, the study of dwarves.

Go on, check it out. You know you want to.

Thanks all!

More Stretch Goals Unlocked!
almost 2 years ago – Sat, Jun 25, 2022 at 09:04:21 AM

We surpassed our last stretch goal! So, passing the $5k mark means that all our physical backers are going to get themselves a special bookmark, but more importantly, it means that we are also going to add two (2) more dungeons to the book, taking us up to 54! How high will we go??? Again, that's up to you.

That being said, we're on our way to $6k and unlocking 2 more dungeons for the book. And then we have this one for our physical backers at $7k!

 If we all got shared the campaign on our social media, I'm sure we could spread the word a little bit more, and hit those marks even more quickly. We only have a few days left! So, let's make the most of it!

Thanks all!


We have a couple of fun ones for you today. The first one is called Nellie's Nursery - a beginner friendly adventure for D&D 5E.  A dark tale of living toys, monstrous creatures, unnatural abominations and one little girl in a life sized dollhouse of terror.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zansadventures/nellies-nursery-a-5e-dnd-adventure-module

It looks both cute and horrifying, so we think this one might be a fun one to try, and it's only a few bucks to get in with a pledge for the adventure, so we say give it a shot!

Definitely worth taking a look!

And then we have another 5e adventure called The Haunted Woods - short Halloween-y Dungeons & Dragons fifth edition adventure, intended for 5th level players.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/natasjavangestel/the-haunted-woods-a-dandd-5e-adventure

The story of The Haunted Woods takes place in the village of Thornvale and its surrounding woods. Strange things have been going on, and a blight has tarnished the land. The adventurers are drawn into a spooky quest to find the missing daughter of a townsman, although they might end up dealing with the source of the blight itself, too.

The adventure can be played in 1-3 sessions, depending on the length of your game sessions and your adventurers’ proclivity to getting distracted.

Another one worth looking at!

That'll Be 2 More Dungeons Please!
almost 2 years ago – Thu, Jun 23, 2022 at 12:02:24 PM

We passed that $4k mark overnight, so as promised, we will be adding two (2) more dungeons to the book (we better get working on them right away)! When we hit our next mark of $5k, we'll be unlocking that bookmark for our physical backers, and two (2) more dungeons for the book! 

So, let's keep this up! And let's get more awesome stuff unlocked!

Oh, and you want to see another dungeon??? Since you guys are so awesome, and as a thank you, we will show you another of the awesome dungeons you can expect inside!

Want to use this one tonight??? Go for it! Enjoy!!!


We also wanted to direct your attention at another couple of projects we think are worth the look. The first one is a random dungeon generator, which is really awesome. We actually have the first deck (which is being reprinted with this one), and we can tell you it's well worth it!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rollinkunz/the-dungenerator-series-2

The DUNGENERATOR: Series 2 is a standalone deck featuring 54 double-sided, poker-sized room cards with over 60 pieces of colorful, hand-inked art! It can be used on its own, or you can shuffle it together with the Series 1 deck for even larger and more varied dungeons!

If you missed out on the Series 1 DUNGENERATOR deck, I'll be reprinting it along with the new deck - so this is your chance to grab one!

Head on over and check this out!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rollinkunz/the-dungenerator-series-2


Then we have Injuries & Vile Deeds, which revitalizes 5e combat with Injury systems for PCs and their enemies, encouraging descriptive and tactical gameplay. It’s also filled to the brim with 200 new feats, items, spells, subclasses, terrifying monsters, and villainous NPCs complete with plot hooks and descriptions! So far it has unlocked 6 stretch goals, and is well on its way toward a 7th, adding five new backer-voted villains to the book.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lonecolossusgames/injuries-n-vile-deeds

Also very much worth checking out!

Incredible Start!
almost 2 years ago – Wed, Jun 22, 2022 at 03:41:07 PM

Hey all, 

Thanks for coming out for the first day of our Kickstarter! We say this each and every time, but it never gets less true--we can't do this without you. It's because of you that we can continue to bring these awesome projects to you, so we very sincerely thank you!

We're very excited to bring you these dungeons! We know that you're going to love them! 

That being said, we passed our goal yesterday. And now it's time to start with the stretch goals. 

So, for this one, for the first time ever we're going to have an ongoing stretch goal. Which means, that it just won't end until the campaign does. We're going to start where we are at now, and say that for every $1,000 we raise we will add 2 more dungeons to this book! So, we're starting with 50 right now, so when we hit $4,000, it'll be 52. At $5,000, it'll be 54. $6,000 = 56. You get the idea! We want to add as many dungeons as possible! And guys, we've only created 50 so far, so make us work and create some more!!!

But that's not all. On top of that, we're going to have a couple of extras for you too!

First, for our physical backers, we're going to do some bookmarks for you when we hit $5,000!

Remember, this is going to be a short campaign this time around. So, there's not a lot of time to get this all in!


Thanks all!

GAME ON!!!
