What a Glorious End to a new Beginning!
about 1 year ago – Fri, Mar 03, 2023 at 07:29:11 AM

With only hours to spare the ranks have filed in to expelled The Coo'ing from it's roost in the high tower!

Now the Bestiary in Blight ov the Eastern Forest will have more monster illustrations!

But in a surprising turn of events, and with a little burned Luck, we have DEVOURED the Jhumbii-beyrs in their glen! Pulling the treasured Blights Die from out of the sticky muck! (Each Jhumbii-beyr is approximately 28,235 calories, so you might want to see a doctor about your blood sugar levels... just saying!)

Now the KS Exclusive Dice Bag will come with one 25mm "Crimson Die," one 25mm "Blights Die," and two 16mm "Midnight" Dice! So if you haven't gotten one there's still time to ADD IT ON or jump up to the Champion Pledge!

Layout Work

I'd also like to share that I've finished with the majority of the layout work for both books and with the added artwork and few new tables I decided to add (Foraging Finds, Attacks on the Village, etc) Blights ov the Eastern Forest has moved up from 80 pages to 92 pages!

Thanks for all the support you've given this campaign! I can feel the love radiating through my screen!

Cheers!

Thorin!

The End is Nigh...

A 1000 Thanks!

Here we are! The finally 48hrs of the campaign is upon us. What an adventure it's been! I just want to say THANK YOU! Thank you for all the support, the social media shares, and all that jazz! You've help make the adventurers bigger and better than ever and I can't wait to continuing sharing the process of their creation as new art and products roll in!

The Next Stretch Goal

I've been pondering my orb again and playing with the layout of the Bestiary section of Blights ov the Eastern Forest to see how adding illustrations will stretch out the total page count. And I'd like to throw this idea into the mix!

I'm sure it's safe to assume we all want both the monster illustrations and the "Blights" die, but at the current pace we probably won't hit both those stretch goals. That said I'd like to propose meeting you all half way.

If we can get to $14000+ I will look into to producing the "Blights" die and adding in more monster illustrations (maybe not all the critters and fiends, but the best ones!) So if you haven't pledged at a level to get the Dice Bag you can always Add It On or increase the pledge amount. And don't forget about the sweet sweet Dungeon Synth Album! Every little bit helps us to reach that next goal!

Let me know what you think in the comments section!

Have a great day everyone!

Olde Applehead has been SLAIN!
about 1 year ago – Sun, Feb 19, 2023 at 09:57:10 AM

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!
about 1 year 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!

I. TO THE ANCIENT KEEP

• 1) The Horned Moon Shall Rise
• 2) Severed Child Heads Infused with Dark Magic 
• 3) Bloodcurdling Screams of Agony
• 4) The Treacherous Ledges

 II. INTO THE DUNGEON

Pre-Order the Album

ALL BACKERS at ANY PLEDGE will receive the a digital download code for the full album, but those wishing to snag the cassette tape and rock out like it's the 80's you've got a couple of options. (Note: If you've backed at THE WITCH or THE NECROMANCER levels you will automictically receive the cassette tape).

You can ADD ON the cassette to your current pledge by hitting the PLEDGE MANAGER BUTTON (along with the Dice Bag, etc).

Or you can ADJUST YOUR PLEDGE to the new CHAMPION LEVEL I've added that includes the Adventure Modules, KS Exclusive Dice & Bag, and Dungeon Synth Album (and save a few bucks off retail)!

Happy Listening Friends!

A New Face = A New Life!
about 1 year 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!
