Today’s Secret Surprise!
First off, if you’ve been checking the campaign calendar on Kickstarter or our Discord, you might have seen that today is a secret surprise that we’re now ready to reveal! On the Land of Eem Patreon, we’re releasing July’s offering for FREE to everyone that signs up as a free member! That means you’ll get a point of interest called Raldar’s Reliquary–an ancient location full of treasure, now contested by 5 different factions!
More Adversary Cards!
Your support means the world to us. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again–we’ve got the best darn community ever! We’ve officially crossed the $150,000 mark, and that means 30 additional adversary cards are coming to the Dungeoneer Adventures box set!
Thanks to your support, this game just got a whole lot more exciting (and a little more dangerous). These new adversaries bring even more variety to your encounters—each with full-color art and ready-to-run abilities. Whether your players charm them, battle them, or end up running the other way, these adversaries are here to make every session memorable.
Next Up at $175,000: Adventures in the Underlands PDF!
We’re thrilled about this one. If we reach the goal, all backers will receive four adventure modules written by us and some of our favorite collaborators, with art by Ben, Peter Simon, and Sean Kiernan--and cover art by John Loren.
The Underlands Undertours Co. by Matthew Jent & Alex Dodge
The Tower of Razzamanch by Alex Dodge & Matthew Jent
Dreamwake Gully by George Higgins
Carnival of LostWishes by Ben Costa & James Parks
Each adventure offers a distinct tone and setting in the Underlands, from strange tour guides and mysterious towers to surreal dreamscapes and whimsical nightmares. Perfect for expanding your Underlands campaign or diving in with an easy to digest one-shot.
Onward to more adventure!
