Writing has commenced!

Well, writing has commenced a long time ago already, but I wanted to do this update to let you know we have received the funds from Kickstarter and are now working hard towards making the Quintessential Guide to Monster Encounters the best it can be.

What's next?

We got some news coming your way pretty soon. Keep your eyes peeled for a live stream next week where we'll be answering your questions as well as talking about how we will go about giving you sneak peeks of the book throughout the writing and design process. I can already say you'll get to speak your voice. 

To add to that, we'll be sharing new pieces of artwork soon as well.

Canceled pledges

We are sorry to see some of the payments from our backers didn't come through. But don't worry, you can always go to our pre-order store to pick up a copy.

Thanks again for backing our project, and we can't wait to share some new and exciting things with you in the near future.

Free copies and discount codes are out

Just quickly jumping in to say that if you backed the project in the first 48h, you should have gotten a message with a free copy of Isle of the Dreaded Accursed right here on Kickstarter.

For people who backed outside that timeframe, also check your inbox. There is a 20% discount code for the same adventure waiting for you. Since it's Black Friday, the discounts add up and the PDF now sits at $15!

Expect a message about Wally DM's Journal of Puzzle Encounters soon.

Cheers

Stretch goal unlocked!

This is amazing!

With over 1100 backers and 40k raised, we have already unlocked some  amazing stretch goals. Justin Handlin (Crit Academy) is officially in. But there is one more writer still waiting to  join the team of absolute legends. Anne Gregersen is eager to add her encounter to the book. Pledge now to help us reach the final stretch goal.

Can we dream about 40k?

Thank you!

I wanted to get in before the final 48 hours of the campaign to say a big thank you to each and every single one of you. Because of you, and over a thousand more, we are now at almost €37.000! That's already an insane number.

There are two more writers waiting to join the lineup of superstars. Justin Handlin  will join when we reach 40k and (dare we dream?) Anne Gregersen jumps in at 45k. If you want to help the book to reach these goals, make sure to join in, upgrade your pledge from PDF to physical, buy ten copies for your friends, ...

See you on the other end.

From a friend

From classes that wield the primal arcane  forces of Lugon to races that have adapted to the harsh conditions of  the world once it was flooded with magic, we offer the total experience  for an epic adventure through a world never seen before!

The Arals (Lugon's  equivalent to gods) of the Four welcome you with open arms, offering  you your choice of Destruction, Creation, Chaos, or Order. They eagerly await your choices!

• Two books with more lore and secrets than you’ll be able to  explore in one campaign path, including information about the ecosystems  and biology of Lugon’s unique monsters! Available for Dungeon and  Dragons 5th Edition and Pathfinder 1st Edition!
• 7 races (The 4 Natural Races and 3 Hybrid races), with 4 more able  to be added via stretch goals! All with their own way of life, ecology  and more!
• 4 base classes: The Goaler of Frostflame, Spellguide, Disciple of  Anima and Delirionist, all including two or three extra archetypes. New  character sheets will also be included for use within the setting!
• 2 Prestige Classes to fit the new magic classes.
• New rule sets and optional subsystems such as Poultices, Lugonese Alchemy, Boons and optional Lugon-specific rules.
• More than 100 new spells, including entirely original spells and  spells based on older concepts, adjusted for the four new magic classes  and their casting mechanics.
• New feats to supplement the new classes and play-styles.
• A whole Monster Manual with 80+ monsters and creatures spread  throughout CR 0 through CR 25. From the Fey-like Bovnaz to the aberrant  Called to many new kinds of Elementals.
• Much more content, such as detailed maps and environments, factions and NPCs!

A wild JVC Parry appeared!

We did it!

We reached 35k in funding! That means the Quintessential Guide to Monster Encounters will be even better. JVC Parry is joining the team to bring us his take on how to run a monster encounter. That brings the total of ready-to-run encounters to twenty-three.

We are not done

With over a week more left on the clock, and closing in to a thousand backers. We believe we can get two more writers on board. Justin Handlin (Crit Academy) and Anne Gregersen are eager to start writing. So make sure to share this campaign everywhere.

Looking for villains?

Imagine a Monster-style book, but with villainous Non-Player Characters instead of monsters...

That's what you are getting when you back Potbellied Kobold's Guide to Villains & Lairs for Roll20. More than 30 villainous NPCs and 10 unique lairs to add to  your game. A book of  unscrupulous characters with developed histories,  motives, flaws, and unique equipment that you can easily drop into your  ongoing story as a one-shot adventure, side quest, or as a larger threat  during the campaign. Many of these NPCs are humanoid, but there are a  few monstrous or undead creatures, too.

The PDF and Print versions of Potbellied Kobold's Guide to Villains & Lairs successfully funded in 2021 and is fulfilled. This Kickstarter campaign funds the 80% complete Roll20 conversion of Potbellied Kobold's Guide to Villains & Lairs
