2 Weeks Left To Back Crosswell: Junction to Adventure - System Neutral RPG Supplement

[GeekPunk]

Only two weeks left to back the System Neutral role-paying game supplement, Crosswell: Junction To Adventure.

Time to get out of the dungeon and enjoy the pleasures of rural living...

Crosswell: Junction to Adventure offers a dozen establishments and locations, each with a fully designed map and unique characters and stories, found at the crossroads of two well-traveled routes used by adventurers seeking fortune and glory.

Crosswell is a small hamlet nestled within a minor grove of trees in central Gondra. The natural progression of travelers between the more dominant settlements of Gondra developed two perpendicular roads that converged at the location of a natural spring. The crossing of the two trade routes, the presence of a water supply, and the cover of the small woodland provided a logical choice for a settlement.

Crosswell: Junction to Adventure is for use with any role-playing system. While designed with a fantasy flare, with a bit of tinkering the establishments presented here can be used for any role-playing game setting--futuristic, post-apocalyptic, etc. Since Crosswell is a generic role-playing aid, no game system-specific statistics are provided for non-player characters or situations. General descriptive terms are provided to aid game masters in determining how to best fit the provided material into their own game.

Specific background information is also provided in regards to how Crosswell pertains to the Adad: Ancient Land of Lore, a new fantasy campaign setting with an old-school vibe. If all goes well with Crosswell, you can expect to see more from Adad: Ancient Land of Lore, including Persandum--an even larger collection of over 80 establishments and locations already in the works.

Crosswell: Junction to Adventure will be a role-playing supplement of at least 40 pages--more if stretch goals are obtained. The book will include location floor plans designed by Dan Taylor, and illustrations by artist Chris Fason. Crosswell will feature a color cover, and interior pages will be black & white.

Crosswell: Junction to Adventure was inspired by the Citybook "All-System Catalyst Series" published by Flying Buffalo in the '80s. In addition to pledging to our campaign, we highly suggest that if you like quality role-playing game publications that you track these books down as well.

We've got a lot of stretch goals in the works to expand the original book contents so please back our project and help spread the word.

This looks great. I was wondering as I read the pitch if this was inspired by the great Flying Buffalo books from back in the day.

Yep. I even hold up a copy of Citybook I in the Kickstarter video. I loved those books. I hope to do more inspired by the same. Thanks.

Update #6

Huzzah! We Made It!

Thanks to all of the backers so far, Crosswell: Junction To Adventure will be a reality. With two weeks still to go, we reached our funding goal.

The image above is of the esteemed mayor of Crosswell, Victor Lawton. He is just one of the characters represented in Crosswell: Junction To Adventure.

While we may have hit our initial funding goal, we still have a number of stretch goals to obtain in order to increase the amount of content within Crosswell: Junction To Adventure. The more stretch goals that we reach, the more establishments, maps, characters, and story seeds will be added.

Again, thank you to all of the backers who have supported Crosswell: Junction To Adventure so far. And, thanks in advance to the supporters who will jump on board during these next two weeks. May you make all of your saving throws.

Update #7

With ten days left, we've managed to unlock the first stretch goal for Crosswell: Junction To Adventure! Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far. And, with reaching our first stretch goal we are pleased to announce that the first mystery location added to the product will be Willowstone Woodcutter.

​

There is still plenty of time to unlock more stretch goals. The more that is pledged the more locations we add to Crosswell: Junction To Adventure at no additional costs to the already established pledge goals. What will "Mystery Location Two" be? A tavern maybe?

Thanks again.
