And the Poster Map has been recovered!

I salute you warriors and wizards! The foul beast that has been trompin' through the Eastern Forest for time unnumbered has finally been slain! Now each copy of Blights ov the Eastern Forest will come with a fold-out (18x24in) map!

The Next Quest Lies Ahead!

“Many old tales speak of men that have been turned to beasts through foul sorcery and dealings with entities better left be. No livin’ soul can recall what the Coo’ng actually is, nor why tis named thus.” - Hans, Gongfarmer of Reed

This mysterious creature has been feeding on the village's livestock for too long! It's time to do some hunting of our own! Can we make it to the next stretch goal? Not without your help! Tis time to spread the word across the world! (And don't forget to consider upping your pledge! The new CHAMPION LEVEL comes with both Adventure Modules, KS Exclusive Dice & Bag, & the Dungeon-Synth Album!)

Demons EVERYWHERE!

There's demons in the Eastern Forest for sure, but there be other that need your help! Check out this other amazing Kickstarter by Max Moon, Twelve Years: Demon Lord Expansion. Not only is the art gorgeous, but it also comes with a dungeon-synth album!

Thanks for all the love and support people!

Spell Burning for Synth!
4 months ago – Sat, Feb 18, 2023 at 08:52:35 AM

Folks, I have finally done it!

After weeks of ritualistic Kovacian magic, draining my very soul and ripping out only the finest of my mustache hairs while seeking the aid of Sezrekan, Bobugbubliz, & The-One-Whose-Name-Shall-Not-Be-Uttered, I have achieved what was thought to be the unachievable!

BEHOLD! THE DUNGEON SYNTH SOUNDTRACK HAS BEEN MANIFESTIED INTO OUR REALITY!

It's true! Through spell burning I have been able to release this music for your goblin ears!
Owl Knight Publishing and Heimat der Katastrophe have combined forces to bring you some amazing Dungeon Synth by Dunjon Magik inspired by Sky ov Crimson Flame! The Full Track List is below. Click on the linked songs to hear the demo versions!

A New Face = A New Life!
4 months ago – Fri, Feb 17, 2023 at 08:58:39 AM

Aren't you tired of seeing the same ol' face everyday... I know I was! That's why I got the Witch Mask!

Designing the Mask

When I set out to publish the 2nd printing of Sky ov Crimson Flame I knew I wanted new cover art and I knew I wanted Peter Mullen to do it. I basically said, "Here's the old cover, now do your thing!" And Peter came back with this:

It was love at first sight and when I finally saw the finished color version I knew I wanted to make the witch's mask a physical thing. So I ask Jordyn Boci of Archaic Manifestations  to sculpt a mask based on Peter's work. Jordyn has previous made mask for Goodman Games so I figured it was a good fit!

Slapping some clay together she began creating the witch mask!

And soon a horrible visage took shape!

There is a limited number of these masks made and each one will be hand crafted by Jordyn! That means there will be subtle differences between everyone's masks (which I think is really neat!)

So whether you want to "put on your best face," or simply scare the neighbors, consider grabbing one of these babies!

Stretch Goal Update

As of this posting we are about $200 away from hitting the next stretch goal! So please share the Kickstarter with your pals or on social media. It is most appreciated!

Till next time folks!

The Crimson Die!
4 months ago – Mon, Feb 13, 2023 at 12:39:49 PM

Happy Monday Everyone! Let's delve a little into this small addition to the adventures!

 The Crimson Die

The Crimson Die doesn't just look cool! It is also an optional little mechanic that can add a bit more havoc into the thoroughly chaos-soaked funnel Sky ov Crimson Flame!

Whenever a 0-level character dies the player may opt to spend 1 point of Luck from one of their remaining characters to roll the Crimson Die for the chance that the player character gains a boon! But buyer beware! For those that tempt Fate in the presence of a phlogistion disturbance such as the falling crimson star may bite off more than they can chew!

Depending on the symbol the outcome will be good or bad.

•  1 / Chaos Sigil - The dead PC rises possessed by crimson flames that burn through their eye sockets; surprising the die roller’s character and gaining a free attack!
•  2 / Crossed Daggers - PC loses -1d2 Luck points.
•  3 / Dagger - 1d3+2 Headbats appear!
•  4 / Sword - A ghostly knight in the tattered cloth bearing the stag crest of King Roulreed shimmers into being. They will aid the characters until sent back beyond the veil!
•  5 / Crossed Swords - +1 to base attack rolls or AC (player’s choice).
•  6 / Iron Crown - +1 to any ability score, except Luck.

The Crimson Die can also be used by anyone wielding Atma-Khanjr, that vile dagger of flesh and bone, (as seen in the witch's hand on the cover) should they get their grubby mitts on it! Adding more gruesome blows or perhaps turning on the hand that wields it!

Don't forget that you can Add On the Dice Bag which comes with the 25mm Crimson Die and two 16mm Midnight dice!

That's all for now! Thanks for the support and the shares!
