The latest 5e \/ S&W “Quick Kick” adventure from Fail Squad Games is coming to a close tomorrow (January 3rd). There was only a little more than a week to find it and get in, but you only need $3 to get he full reward! Here we are now, doing better than ever…<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

When I first launched this idea for “Quick Kick” projects on Kickstarter with Falls Keep<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\r\n

Quick Kick Projects<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n

This is the second of Fail Squad Games’ series of\u00a0“Quick Kick”<\/strong>\u00a0projects which are super short, Kickstarter projects that cost just a few bucks to back and deliver short Sidequests in PDF form only.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\r\n

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.<\/p>\r\n

New Artwork<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n

I commissioned my the skilled Raven Winter Metcalf<\/strong> 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<\/em>” 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.<\/p>\r\n

The Future<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n

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.<\/p>\r\n

Lorview<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

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:\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

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. \u00a0That strange little girl, drawing her pictures and talking to the dark.<\/p>\r\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u201cLottie has a wanderlust,\u201d her mother Rasel Fisher often says. \u201cEven as a babe on the road, she wandered off for two days into the forest alone. She\u2019s a blessing and a handful.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\r\n

What dark secret await the heroes in the city of Lorview this time?\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
