Greetings everyone, great news! We sent out the PDF of the adventure book last night. 

Thanks for helping make Rise of the Mushroom King, our first big adventure book. You get 72 pages of adventure, new monsters/NPCs, new magic items, new spells, a rumors table, a spores effects table, encounter tables, inns and taverns table, and more! We decided to use mainly black and white art for the interior to get more art in the book and have a classic look. 

We'll send out the pre-order Mushroom King PDFs today. Then, we'll organize the printed books and other rewards.

Next Adventure book coming in November

Next month we'll Kickstart the next adventure. It can be run as the sequel to Rise of the Mushroom King or as a standalone adventure. The same team is back with Andrew writing, designing, and editing, Travis illustrating and doing the layout, and Wouter doing the maps. Here is the inked version of the cover:

PDF almost done! Printed books not far away!
about 1 month ago – Thu, Sep 05, 2024 at 08:55:32 AM

Hey everyone, we've had a jam-packed summer. Our team is almost finished mailing out our World of Myrr books. Now we can concentrate on finishing the Mushroom King adventure.

The PDF is almost done, we expect it to be sent out before the end of the month. That means the printed books should start to be ordered in October. After hearing from our backers we've decided to have all black-and-white illustrations inside the book so we can include more art. And we also have a new cover coming that showcases more of the setting.

There is a lot packed into this 72-page book. You get the adventure, a huge rumors table, a spores effects table, 10 new monsters and NPCs, several pages of new magic items and spells, encounter tables, and conversion tables.
