The Close of Day 3

Thank you

Day three has just closed, meaning we have 9-days left in our 12-day campaign. We are currently 57% funded with almost 300 project followers which is quite promising. We may not hit any of the stretch goals, but we'll likely fund, so thank you, all, for the support. It means a lot to us that we can make this happen for the Hershey family.

The Dungeoneer's Guide

The Dungeoneer's Guide has gone through several iterations over the last four years. It started as something we were calling "Ultima Tabletop," which was a tabletop adaptation of Ultima Online. We converted many of the original calculations and it actually required an electronic aid to play. At one point, we were using a highly customized magic system that used the mechanics from The Language of Magic to build your own spells and effects (we may come back to that someday because we love the idea, it is just very complicated) After a few other changes, making it closer to what it is today, we adapted the name The Dungeoneer's Journal. The journal was supposed to be a specialized game where you play through an adventure that is highly randomized, and actually write-in the narrative and what happens yourself. So the player was keeping a "journal" of their adventure or scenario. I still want to finish the teaser one of these days and see what people think of it.

Free Print & Play Game

We have designed a print & play game where 2-players compete in a jousting tournament. The system was actually adapted from D&D so it is easily incorporated into you running campaign, if you wish. Here is an image of the new artwork for the game, and a link for the very rough beta files below. We can easily adapt this to fit inside of The Dungeoneer's Guide as well. 

Here's a link to the files: Google Drive

Wow! What a start!

Thank you!

We are so very happy with our campaign so far! We are nearing the first 24-hour mark and we're currently 45% funded, which is awesome! Especially since this is only a 12-day campaign. Thank you, all, for coming to support the project, it means so much to us. With a start like this, I think it is safe to say that we will be able to help Rick, as planned and get the artwork finished. This is exciting!

Our Community So Far

So far, most of the backers are from the US but we are spread out a little bit.

With that in mind, one question from the comments was if we are interested in getting the game translated to French. The answer is YES. We had already been asked about Spanish and I may know someone who would be willing to do German. If you have an interest in doing something like this, please feel free to reach out and we can talk about it.

A Small Map

As a Patron of Dark Realm Maps, we got this cool Crypt map when we joined (we joined twice, actually, so we have two). As a gift to all of you, we will be creating a little solo scenario using this map as thanks. Totally free of charge, just because we want to.
