WSD: Fishing Foundry VTT Module releasing soon!
over 1 year ago – Wed, Aug 28, 2024 at 09:22:02 AM

Howdy anglers!
I hope you all are enjoying the book!  Hopefully, most (if not all) of the backed items have been received. Thank you again for your support!

I wanted to let you know that we are currently wrapping up our Foundry VTT Module for Why Slay Dragons when you could be FISHING—something we wanted to see if we could develop. We are very excited to announce that we've finished the initial design and will be releasing it very soon!

Will include the full book as compendium entries, NPC and Creature Actors, Rollable Tables, Item Entries, and more!

It was very important to me that we could not only develop the module but also do it right for you all. I really like how it's come out, and I can't wait to release it soon!

If you'd like to be the first to get the module, you can purchase it now on our Fiendish Forge Backerkit Page! This is also a great opportunity to pick up any extra copies of PDFs, Pins, Prints, and the book itself to go towards Fiendish Forge's creation!

Know someone who missed out on our Kickstarter? Now's their chance!

The module is done, and we're working with Foundry to star getting product keys made - as well as making sure our module is in tip top shape. We will be releasing the module soon after our Fiendish Forge Backerkit wraps up - and those that back through Fiendish Forge will get early access before the official release!

Head over to our Fiendish Forge Backerkit today to reserve a copy of the Foundry VTT Module, and help support our next book!

Have a wonderful week,
Brett

over 1 year ago – Mon, Aug 19, 2024 at 03:13:27 PM

Howdy Anglers,
I hope most of you have already gotten your books, and that you're enjoying it.
But now - I need your help again.

Our Backerkit launches tomorrow!!


We are launching our next book, Fiendish Forge, on Backerkit tomorrow (Aug 20th) at 1 pm EST.

You can sign up here: http://www.fiendishforge.com

Looking to spice up the "Monster Manual" formula - this 5e book is all about boss fights, including materials you can gather per creature and monstrous magic items and food (Axe Beak Hauncheon anyone?) that you can craft from these gathered materials.

If you haven't yet, be sure to sign up as soon as you can! we've got plenty of Day 1 Rewards, including an exclusive Day 1 Digital PDF - the Night Despot - which includes 4 different CR variations so you can use it anytime in the adventure. All of our physical backers on Day 1 get an exclusive pin as well. If we get to $100k on our first day, we'll also include an additional exclusive pin.

We've got a LOT you can get this time - including Foundry Modules! We will also be introducing a Foundry Module for Why Slay Dragons when you could be FISHING you can pick up as well!

Will you help support our next book?

Thank you for reading, 
Brett
