Latest Updates from Our Project:

TL:DR - PnP weapons updated, clothing uploaded

Hey everyone,

This is a shorter update, the Weapon's PnP files have been updated and the Clothing files have been uploaded (artwork for the Fir Coat is still being finalized). You should be able to access them through the previous link, which can be found in the Backer's Only update that was sent out before. 

I had been quite ill recently, which is why this update is coming later than when they are usually posted. Unfortunately that also meant that I was not able to be as productive on the project as I would have liked. In next month's update I will have more information about the project, and have the Utility cards up as well.

Until soon!

Keyword: Agelast

Hey everyone, 

Here is the link to the PnP folder where the weapon cards have been uploaded. 

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iRWfALf7iSE_ZIQYbK9_Dn-gHIQoqIPS?usp=sharing

You can use this same link to access the other item cards once they are uploaded, and there will be an update to let you know when they are ready. 

Until soon!

TL:DR - Weapon PnP ready, accessible font GM tools, Rudock's Tavern has a project live

Hey everyone, 

The Print and Play for the weapon cards has been uploaded. I will send out a backer's only update shortly with the link. The same link will let you access all the other item cards once they are up. The GM tools have also been updated, and an accessible (sans serif) version has been added as well. You can use the same link from the July Backer's Only update (#38) to access it.

Rudock's Tavern

I was fortunate enough to work with both Loot Tavern and Fluffy Folio on this project after being fans of their art for so long. Another 5e artist that I am also a fan of has a project that is live right now. If you want to check it out click on the image below.  

 Until soon!

August Update

TL:DR - digital proofs going to manufacturer soon, digital copies going out to you soon, some spotlights

Hey everyone, 

I wanted to show off some of the cards from the project and go into a little more detail about them. The PnP versions will be made available soon and I should have all of the digital proofs to the manufacturer around the end of the month. 

Aboleth Jelly

This item really embodies the malicious aspect of the campaign, but could come in useful for a thoughtful player. For instance the GM extension might lead to a player poisoning the water source of an encroaching army buying more time and allowing them to turn the tides. 

Unrequited Locket

Imagine having a blacksmith on retainer, or using this item as the plot point for a campaign where the image of some noble's child has been captured and it is up to your party to steal the locket back to ensure their safety. You can also take liberties with the description and use it for a player that is only able to make it to games infrequently - they can be brought in when they are able to join without having to explain how they keep reconnecting with the party.  

Hanlon's Razor

The premise for this project was malfunctioning items that could catch a player off guard, and if this item as a surprise for anyone that doesn't investigate it beforehand. The end result could cause the party to go partially blind do to incompetence as the name implies. 

Until soon!

July Update

TL:DR - GM Tools pnp distribution

Hey everyone,

Links for the GM Tools print and play will be sent out today. Backer specific updates will go out with the link for Elf Tiers and above. I will send a Kickstarter message with the link to anyone in a lower tier who purchased the digital copy as an add-on. Some BackerKit late pledges may not be able to access the backers' only updates, so an email will be sent to you with the subject line: Digital GM Tools. If it does not show up in your inboxes, please check your junk folders incase it was filtered. 

There was an issue with one of the Photoshop files so one page of conditions is currently absent, but will be uploaded shortly. 

Death Save Card

I also made a blank version of the Death Saves card which you can download by clicking on the picture above. The pnp version had details related to exhaustion and health, but this one can be used if you prefer to take your own notes.

Until soon!
