Creator's Deck: 1st Entries!
over 3 years ago – Thu, Jul 27, 2023 at 02:27:05 PM

These should be slipping into updates as often as possible.

I just haven’t had a chance to catch up yet. These creator’s items will be featured in PCloud Storage that you can freely access once established, and it will be getting multiple rounds of edits. These should not be considered balanced until we get some editing passes underway. I would like to take a moment to feature two of the creators now!

 
 The Process: 

Over the past months I’ve been reaching out to Creator’s that I admire or are near and dear to me about making items together. Those that have the interest (and had the free time) have agreed to make an idea into an item with me.

Some sent a sentence or an idea, and others sent a full item breakdown for the creation. From there, I did my best to create something worthy of those creators with art and a small tale. To wrap it up, I placed them onto my card layouts, then handed them over to the creators and you!

Again, some of these need far more balancing than others. They will get updated as we continue onward.

The Creators:

Luke Gygax is the son of Dungeons & Dragons creator Gary Gygax, author, and game designer. Luke is the Founder of Gary Con® and literally grew up at the gaming table, testing many classic products, contributing concepts and content. He played the iconic character Melf and created the dreaded bullywug to the Fiend Folio.

Despite choosing a career in the US Army, Luke authored several role-playing game accessories. Retiring from the Army in 2022 and continuing to create games, accessories and promoting the benefits of roleplaying worldwide through his company Gaxx Worx. Luke lives in Southern California with his beautiful wife, Bouchra and their three daughters.

Will (DnD Shorts) is a content creator and author. He lives in a house that is far too small with a dog that is far too big in the north of England, where he creates videos for YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, and publishes the monthly DM's Secret Weapon magazine. He focuses on maximizing the fun and creative potential in roleplaying games, and he is currently working on the upcoming kickstarter Ryoko's Guide to the Yokai Realms alongside Loot Tavern.

Peter Adkison founded Wizards of the Coast in 1990 and was CEO from 1990 – 2001. Under his leadership, WotC published Magic: The Gathering, acquired D&D and Gen Con, and Pokémon.  In 2002, Peter acquired Gen Con again. Since finishing film school in 2012, Peter has been developing a fantasy property for media, World of Chaldea. Since early 2022, Adkison has served as executive producer for Gen Con TV (Twitch). Peter is married to Dee Fenton.

 Projects I Love: Eren's Arcane Compendium of Characters - The Deck of TTRPG Characters

Full disclosure, this is running on Backerkit. If you have backer a Kickstarter, you likely have an account, and I highly recommend checking out this campaign.

If you did not know, Eren does amazing art. Jaw on the floor style art. Creature’s and People come alive – level of Art. I’ve been a fan for ages from our shared Critter Circles, and these cards are just as breathtaking. You can even get yourself included in the deck, you should be running (not walking) to check this out.

Seriously, just have a look. I will likely see if I can convince them to slip the Scribe in!

In Their Words: Eren's Arcane Compendium of Characters is the ultimate card deck of fantasy characters for TTRPGs: an indispensable resource for both Game Masters and players! The Compendium features 100+ high quality and diverse characters to be used in fantasy TTRPGs, either as player characters, NPCs or anything else TTRPG enthusiasts might need. The deck is the perfect resource to help Game Masters plan NPCs for a new campaign, or to give players a solid but flexible base to create their new character, or even a fun way to select random ideas for a crazy one-shot!

1350% Funded - Stretch Goal: Unlock & Reveal!
over 3 years ago – Mon, Jul 24, 2023 at 11:07:29 AM

Greetings All!

A fresh Monday Update! I was indisposed most of this weekend, so I wasn’t able to properly celebrate the 125k Milestone. In fact, we just hit 135k! So let’s get that Stretch Goal reveal underway!

125k: Additional Goodies Unlocked!

This bulks up several items at once, putting more value into both the add-ons and the higher tiers. The goal with these add-ons is to increase quality and value in existing items.

•  Pin: A chest mimic with ‘Be Safe & Keep Playing.’
•  Bookmark: An additional bookmark dedicated to the Patrons.
•  Coloring Book: 20+ Additional pages for coloring!
   

New Stretch Goal Reveal!

200k: Stories Bundle!

I love sequential art. It's how I first got into art, and that passion has never ceased. For this Stretch Goal, I want to dedicate stories to several lore  items about their origins or uses. It’s something to add to the tales of victory and woe throughout the ages.

These will be in 1-2 page spreads for multiple items that will be included in all Tome Versions.

Projects I Love: The Crystals of Z'leth

I don’t have much time outside of creating these days, and when I do actually sit down to play it’s normally as a DM for my pals. This is one of the reasons Crystals enthralled me as a solo campaign. Like choosing your own adventure using the rules I’ve come to love, I definitely think it's something worth checking out.

In Their Words: The Crystals of Z’leth is the perfect way to test out new character concepts, go on an adventure between sessions, or play alone with real stakes. However, The Crystals of Z’leth is not a solo RPG system. It is a self-contained, story-driven adventure that can either exist on its own or as part of a regular 5e campaign, but it is built on the familiar ruleset of D&D: 5th Edition.

Working out the sharing for the first week of the Creator's Deck while I catch up from this weekend, expect another update this week!

1100% Funded: Sage Tiers + Core Fantasy Rules!
over 3 years ago – Mon, Jul 17, 2023 at 07:03:35 PM

Greetings All!

The 2nd update today so I’ll try to be short and concise.

Tome of Magical Oddities - Core Fantasy Rules.

Having been a member of Kobold Press’s - Black Flag since its inception, it comes as no surprise that I am now preparing a version of this book specifically tailored for the Core Fantasy Rules system. I hold great pride in their accomplishments and harbor high hopes for their future endeavors with this project, with today celebrating an Alpha Release.

In light of this, every individual who acquires a physical or digital copy of this book will be granted a complimentary PDF version adapted for the CFR.

Updates: Sage Tiers for Previous Backers Added!

As mentioned in the Previous Updates, I am adding Sage Tiers for ease with previous backers. This was a lot of side work, so apologies if it took some extra time. Adventurer is designed as a basis to add others, and the Artifact is a click and get it as a one stop, deluxe and all. These should maximize your options, while trying to keep the amount of tiers as low as possible.

Here is the updated Breakdown. (Kickstarter suggest 5 Tiers, we are now at 11)

Sage Adventurer: $105

This is comparable to the Adventurer Bundle, but it provides an additional discount to those who backed the previous kickstarter.

Sage Artifact: $230

This is comparable to the Deluxe Artifact Bundle, again geared towards people that want everything at once. In addition, this includes the Sage VTT, something lacking on the Artifact Tier in place of the Storage Chest.

I truly hope these help in selection, as these add to the discounts already received by Sage Tiers. Be Safe, and Keep Playing.
