Two adventure modules for Dungeon Crawl Classics brimming with FOUL SORCERY and the ABHORRENT STENCH OF CHAOS!
This post is for backers only. Please visit Kickstarter.com and log in to read.
As you can no doubt surmise we are still awaiting the last pieces of art, but the deadline I've set is quickly approaching, so hopefully by this coming weekend (July 8th) I'll have all the pieces in and I can finalize the files and get them all sent over to the printer.
In the meantime this gives me an opportunity to go through each and every page of both adventures with a fine tooth comb and find any typos or other editorial mistakes my editors and proofreaders may have missed.
A couple weeks back we hosts the first sessions of Sky ov Crimson Flame on the Goodman Games Twitch Channel and it was a BLAST! Our next session premieres at 7pm EST this Saturday day (July 8th).
I was just at Origins the other week and I had a blast meeting some you backers and playing some late night games. GenCon will be here before we know it and I'll once again be hanging out around the Goodman Games booth as well as running some sessions of both Sky & Blights (all of which are sold out - crazy!) and maybe a few secret playtests of new material!
So if you're planning on attending the con please come say hello!
- Cheers!

Good day to you friends! I come bearing lots of news and updates!
This Saturday, 7pm EST, I'll be judging the 1st session of Sky ov Crimson Flame on the Goodman Games Twitch Channel with the backers that pledges at the Necromancer level.
Come join the excited and lets see how many of their squishy little 0-levels I can kill!
The last of the art is finally rolling in. Today we're gonna take a look at some art from Stefan Poag detailing a bit of history woven through both books: The Legend of King Roulreed!
The story of Roulreed can first discovered in Sky ov Crimson Flame (if the players find his long forgotten tomb). There they may retrieve his magic sword Silvallum from his molding misshapen bones. But more stories can be discovered through tapestries and exploration!
Silvallum was gifted to the young warrior by a sorceress whose name is now long forgotten as he was destined to slay the dreaded Beast from the East - the Mighty Yss'sak!
Did he indeed slay this foe of man? Or are the legends wrong? In either case he was proclaimed King Roulreed the Just, King and Protector of the East Wood.
But fate is not always so kind to a King and he was eventually tricked by a group of warlock brothers in the service of Chaos. But when things seemed most dire, the King raised his mighty sword and severed the arm of the wizard that corrupting his body! However it was too late for the King and soon perished from the curse mutating his bones...
These arrived just hours ago! Inspect by Cersi (seen below) she attests they are off the highest quality audio one can find in this day and age!
Pretty sweet eh! Don't forget there's still time to update your pledge if you want to add one these babies! Each cassette comes with a digital download and 1 of 3 special head-bat variants to throw at your players inSky ov Crimson Flame!
This time next week JUNE 21-25, 2023 I'll be at Origins with Goodman Games! If you happen to be there please stop by the booth and say hi! I don't have any official games on the roster. but I might be running some off-the-books sessions of Sky or Blights!
Cheers!

What ho adventurers! Thorin here with some new artwork and manufacturing updates! Let's first explore this new art and some forest locations!
“The Beast of the East, known in the old tongue as the Yss’sak, is more than a mere fairy tale. It is a creature older than the forest itself that once reigned over man’s domain. I fear the evil that has befallen lately will awaken this foul beast from its torpor.” - Eornrad, Elder of Reed
Is the Yss'sak a misunderstood beast or a foe to reckoned with? Only the judge knows for sure! This location area has been expanded a bit from the previous printing which was merely just a cave to be discovered, here (as you can see in the map by Alexander Moore) there is now a village of curious and strange fey folk to contend with!
“Alas, poor Roulreed the Just was fooled! Spurred by the whispering portents of the mysterious sages three, he led his army deep into the wilds of the forest and was betrayed. During the conflict he managed to sever one of the wretched fiends’ arms, but it was too late, for a curse was laid upon the king and his body was withered and corrupted. The sages fled and we few knights that survived carried the king back to the Keep.” - Excerpt from the Journal of Sir Anatos.
The Eastern Forest is filled with history, but sometimes that history can come back and its severed arm can pitch you on the behind! OUCH! The Lost Battlefield is new location area for Blights ov the Eastern Forest and ties in to one of the original baddies from the Bestiery - the Revenant Knights of Roulreed! Can their spawning be stopped or will the PCs become undead like them?!
To showcase this new area we have an awesome map by the Tiger Wizard himself - Andrew Bellury!
So as we are still waiting some final art pieces, none of the book files have been sent to the printers yet, however the dungeon-synth albums are being manufactured as I type this! HOORAY!
- Cheers!

Over the past week a few more art pieces came through. Still waiting on about 8 more or so and then both books will be COMPLETE! Once that happens I'll send the files off to the printers!
So without fewer ado, I'll leave you with a few new fresh pieces!
Cheers! -- Thorin
