When I first launched this idea for “Quick Kick” projects on Kickstarter with Falls Keep, I wasn’t sure if it was an idea that would stick. My intent was just to push out short adventures that were just a few pages and gave game masters some tools to have in their GMing box. I kept getting these fun ideas for short adventures that weren’t really enough for print, but more than just a Drivethru creation.

Quick Kick Projects

This is the second of Fail Squad Games’ series of “Quick Kick” projects which are super short, Kickstarter projects that cost just a few bucks to back and deliver short Sidequests in PDF form only.  The goal is for each adventure to be about one session long, 8-12 pages in length, and easy to pick up and run for the unprepared GM. Each adventure will be full color, and internally hyperlinked with an interactive PDF.

I have yet to wrangle one of these to under pages, but we’ll get there. No one complains when they get more than promised.

New Artwork

I commissioned my the skilled Raven Winter Metcalf to produce the art for this adventure. It was our goal to change the look and feel of the entire project from our usual ‘serious’ feel. This adventure is inspired by a musical piece “Curse of Milhaven” and we wanted the illustrations to reflect the theme, but carry a Burtonesque feel. In the end we landed on a project with a wonderful look and I couldn’t be happier with the departure.

The Future

The future of “Quick Kick” projects looks bright and we have many more lined up with new authors getting into the queue. For those asking, yes, eventually we may look at printing on paper, but for now, these are PDF only and add to the simplicity of the project when it comes to delivery.

Lorview

The town of Lorview has seen numerous struggles from Fail Squad Adventures and Whisper in the Crags adds a sweet full-page upgraded map of the area. from the Kickstarter page: 

When the winds blow in from the east at just the right angle, the Whispering Crags north of Lorview howl and moan, giving rise to dark superstition and legends. Little Lottie Fisher has a secret friend who knows more than most about the crags.  That strange little girl, drawing her pictures and talking to the dark.

  “Lottie has a wanderlust,” her mother Rasel Fisher often says. “Even as a babe on the road, she wandered off for two days into the forest alone. She’s a blessing and a handful.”

What dark secret await the heroes in the city of Lorview this time?

Wyrmwood is a small Massachusetts-based company that offers artisan quality gaming accessories to gamers who value craftsmanship. Founded by Douglas Costello, Ian Costello, and Edward Maranville, Wyrmwood exists to bring your tabletop experience to the next level.

You’ll need to see this:

No you didn’t miss out, their kickstarter is still live, but it ain’t cheap! It looks like the set up comes in sections that you can customize and piece together as you like.

This fulfills every nook and cranny of my nerd-desire to run a game of Dungeons & Dragons! These folks have already blasted past a quarter of a million bucks and I can see why.

This is Wyrmwood’s sixth Kickstarter and on the surface it appears as if they have followed through. I didn’t dig overly deep I’ll admit it.

So if you have a stack of cash and know anyone who games… *ahem – cough* I’ll send you my address when they deliver these babies!

The post The most elite Dungeonmaster tool EVER! appeared first on Fail Squad Games.

Went live, and immediately funded just a few hours into launch! It has now exceeded 200% of the mark and is growing. This was a quick running project for a single session module that may be driopped in the MIDDLE of your current adventure for level 3 players!
BACK IT NOW!

It is the first official module for Lands of Lunacy and the clock is ticking!

It is expected that you will have the Lands of Lunacy Setting Guide when you play this adventure. fitting it in without the setting is easy enough, if you skip over all the fun challenges of playing the Lands of Lunacy.

Have no fear, there are bundles where you can get your copy WITH the Winter Eternal adventure if you need one. This adventure puts the cleric (Or divine character) in the driver’s seat. While not necessary, it is more fun with a cleric!

This is going out as a FULL COLOR adventure module on premium paper! yeah, you want this at your table.

Back it now!! This is a short run Kickstarter, it won’t last long! and you can get it for a Fiver!
