Printed book being ordered for the office! Sequel launches today!
14 days ago – Thu, Nov 07, 2024 at 08:38:12 AM

Hey there, we are about to order the first printed book for the office. Once it arrives and is reviewed we can start ordering printed books for backers. If that doesn't start before the holidays, it will begin afterward as there is a holiday deadline for the printing house.

The Sequel to the Rise of Mushroom King!

Meanwhile, we've launched the second adventure! The Fall of RIvenhelm can be played as the sequel to the first adventure. Once again it's a 72-page book with tons of extras. But the story is quite different with new monsters and characters!

Greetings everyone! Those backers with a reward for the adventure should have received their PDF version by now. If you haven't, or have any questions, email us at [email protected]

Next steps

We're getting the printed files ready, and a sample of the book will have to be reviewed at our office. We hope that the process will be quick and allow us to send books out before the holidays. The printing house has a deadline in November for prints before the end of the year. 

The Fall of Rivenhelm Kickstarter/Sequel to Rise of the Mushroom King!

On Nov 7th we'll launch our next adventure book, The Fall of Rivenhelm

Here's the link to sign up for the launch: https://shorturl.at/eDhl8

Our new book can be played as the sequel to Rise of the Mushroom King or as a standalone adventure. As there are few mechanics, it is playable with 5E and other TTRPGs. Like the first adventure, it will have 72 pages with new monsters, magic items, and spells. Our same team is back together again with Travis doing the art and layout, Wouter the maps, and Andrew writing and editing. 

The Mushroom Army has invaded the city of Rivenhelm and captured the queen. A small party of adventurers is called upon to infiltrate the city, rescue the queen, and defeat the invaders. Think Escape from New York, but medieval fantasy style!

PDF sent out!
about 1 month ago – Wed, Oct 16, 2024 at 08:25:37 AM

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!
3 months 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.
