100k Stretch Goal Broken!
Token Art by Splattered Ink Games
We did it! The final official Stretch Goal has been reached. Thank you all so much for your support throughout this campaign. My partner and I are just a small team of 2 (with help from some amazing freelancers) and this means the world to us.
£100k means we will be including Elf, Dwarf and Human Character Tokens for every major 5e class in our Complete Digital Bundle. Perfect to fill out some NPCs in your world, or use as Player Characters!
As a target for the remaining couple of days, if we are somehow able to beat the total raised in our first Kickstarter (£153,060), then I will put together something special for all backers.
Looking for some unique monsters for your game, but don't have time to create them from scratch? Our friends at Nord Games have just launched The Oracle Monster Generator on Backerkit!
The Oracle Monster Generator is a tool for game masters, storytellers, and writers looking for inspiration when creating well thought-out monsters. Its simple and dynamic design allows for maximum versatility and detail in a minimal number of cards.
Cards are separated into 7 categories of monster based on their environment including; Desert, Forest, Mountain, Swamp, Tundra, Underground, and Waterways. Each of these decks contains cards to identify a Monster's Type, Behavior, Archetype, Special Ability, and Intrigue.
Combining these five concepts together you'll end up with a unique and well rounded monster every time you use this product. You can also mix and match cards from different decks as you see fit for even more variety, and the themes match perfectly with our Into the Wilds Battlemaps!
75k Stretch Goal Broken! - New XL Fold Out Base Terrain Maps unlocked

Hi Everyone!
We are now officially at the half way point of the campaign and have broken our penultimate (at least for now) Stretch Goal! 75k unlocked the '10 XL Base Terrain Battlemaps'
Base Terrain Battlemaps
We have been listening to feedback from backers of the previous Kickstarter, and one request that came up quite a bit was a way to extend the area around the battlemaps. To solve this we have created 10 new fold out maps for the most common basic terrain features of the maps in the books.
The 10 base maps are Dirt, Grass, Cavern, Sand, Ocean, Snow, Rock, Dungeon, Planks and Flagstones. They are printed on the same material as the XL fold-out maps included in the Volume box sets, are fully dry-erase compatible and work with our re-usable asset stickers. All the same functionality as the map books themselves. The fold-out maps also come printed with 1' inch grids, the same as the books.

The basic terrain maps are all 34x22inches,double the size of the map books and can be combined with them in a number of ways depending on your needs. They will come in their own box for easy storage and transportation, but also fit in the larger volume boxes if needed.
The 'Grass' Base Terrain map combined with the Military Camp map from 'Castles & Keeps'
The 'Dungeon' Base Terrain map combined with the Lost Souls map from 'Dungeons & Crypts'
The Base Terrain Map set will be included for freein the 'Triple Volume Box Set' and 'All the Books + VTT' tier pledges, and will be available for everyone else as an add-on for a special Kickstarter price of £20 (usual retail price is £25). The digital files for all 10 maps will also be added to the Complete Digital Bundle.
Let me know in the comments if you have any questions about the Base Terrain Battlemaps!

Banana for Scale, New Alchemy Add-On, MekBorg & More!

Hi Everyone!
We are now a week into the campaign and it's smashing our expectations, so thank you all again so much!
I've had a few questions and requests, and I thought some of them were worth mentioning in an update to make sure everyone is getting the information.
Banana For Scale
There have been several questions about the size of the map books, so I have turned to the age-old, time-honoured measurement system, Banana for Scale! (Updated for TTRPGS to also include DMs Guide and Polyhedral Dice for Scale)
When open, the books measure approximately 3.6x2.8 bananas (22x17 inches or 56cmx43cm)
When closed, the books measure approximately 1.8x2.8 bananas (11x17 inches or 28cmx43cm)
Lay Flat
I have also had some questions about how flat the maps lay when placed on the table. The spiral bind means they are able to lay perfectly flat, and you can always ensure both sides of the map are the same height.
Maps lay flat when placed in the table.
If you have any more questions, or would like to see more specific product images, let me know in the comments!
Volume 3 Alchemy VTT Bundle
Ther have been a few requests from returning backers for a Volume 3 only add-on for Alchemy VTT. That is now available in the Add-On lists.
MEKBORG and STEEL PSALM are two books that take the raw, old-school, d20-friendly rules of MÖRKBORG and dip them headfirst into post-apocalyptic, mechanical, MEK-KNIGHT mayhem, drawing inspiration from robot-on-robot combat, doom metal aesthetics, and more. Fight over the scraps of what little remains in an easy-to-learn campaign setting that puts aesthetics and mood before rules and crunch.
MEKBORG lets you play the role of an individual MEK-KNIGHT trying to make their way through the collapsing galaxy. You will battle rogue meks, meks of other philosophies, horrible creatures, and your own desire to claw out your eyes as you watch the universe devour itself.
STEEL PSALM gives you command of a FULL UNIT of MEK-KNIGHTS in a minis-agnostic skirmish game. Your unit will join (or fight) other Mek-knights, fend off invasion by unspeakable horrors from the undercooked realms of the universe's expanding edge, or simply loot and plunder those who've failed to succumb to extortion to one of the four great hegemonies.
Both stand on their own, but enacted true CHAOS when merged as one.
50k mark broken in 48 hours! New 5e Adventures+ Learn about The Book of Spirits

50k Stretch Goal Broken!
We have now officially passed the £50,000 mark! That means 3 brand new 5e adventure module PDFs will be added to the Complete Digital Bundle.
These adventures will span level 1-7, so you will have something that works for most parties, and if you have backed the Volume 3 Box Set, you will also be receiving the rollable encounter tables in the GM screen which you can use to adjust the levels of the adventures as needed.
Up next is the £75k goal, which will unlock the XL fold-out 'Basic Terrain' map set that complements the map books. I'll be sharing more information about them soon.
Looking for more 5e adventures? Cross the Veil into the Spirit Realm!
Our friends at Beyond the Screen also have a Kickstarter running right now that I think you will love!
Inspired by Dragon Age and Stormlight Archive, The Book of Spirits is a massive expansion to D&D. It brings a new realm of magic into the game, where emotions and memories possess immense power. Fight or ally with spirits that manifest from emotions, face the mind-bending hazards of the Spirit Realm, and unlock new spirit boons to expand your arsenal.
Awaken your spirit bond with the all-new 5E CONDUIT class. Fuse with spirits to empower yourself and unleash mystical powers. Stand in the front line, support your allies with your attuned spirit’s buffs and punish foes that dare attack you with your spirit lash.
Use the new Resonance System to change the tide of battle. With the Resonance system, roleplaying your character's emotions actually affects the game by strengthening or weakening nearby spirits. This symbiotic system lends itself to cathartic moments, where heroes defeat adversaries by overcoming their own mental barriers and finding hidden strength within themselves.

30k Stretch Goal Passed!
Hey all,
Looks like I'm a bit late on this update! Overnight (UK time) you passed £30k AND £40k. This means everyone is getting new Urban themed tracks as part of the Complete Digital Bundle included in every tier pledge.
Now, I know I promised that there would be 3 new looping tracks, but unfortunately Will decided that he would rather do 5!
While you are waiting to get the Digital Bundle, check out some more of Will/Music D20's music here -
Next Stretch Goal
At £50k I will be adding 3 new one-shot 5e Adventure Modules to the Digital Bundle. These adventures are written by Alex LeFort. I have been working with Alex for several years, he is a fantastic writer and if you have played any of my other adventure modules, whether from Patreon of my first Kickstarter, you will already know his work.
Each adventure module is a companion to one of the Volume 3 map books, and uses several of the locations found within.
The second Kickstarter from my friends Bodhi and Tom (aka HOMIEandTheDUDE), The Wandering Tavern is a 180+ page travellers' guide to an expansive Studio Ghibli inspired floating TTRPG setting. Explore this immense soaring city with 15 battle maps that detail its every nook and cranny. Delve deep into the devious underbelly of the Tavern while getting to know its wide range of unique NPC patrons and staff. The Wandering Tavern’s dark mysteries and entangled truths are yours to unlock. While traversing this vast metropolis use remarkable magical items to protect yourself from the twisted Spirits stalking the halls. However, if you have to escape, you can glide through uncharted skies on never-before-seen Zephyrs, constructed from a plethora of brand-new Parts and Stations.
This is a system agnostic floating TTRPG setting with optional D&D 5e stats included. It’s packed full of plot hooks, mysteries, threats, and everything you need for a campaign. However, if you already have an established world/setting, The Wandering Tavern is the perfect pit stop for your Players to visit, take a load off, and delve into a whole new sort of adventure.
