OSR Chromatic Dungeons has Launched! (Kickstarter)

[Nikosandros]

I'm in. I'm always keen on new variations on the OSR theme and, more importantly, this game is also a political and cultural statement and it is a statement that is needed right now.

Another $500 pledged, up to $4.6k while I slept.

Sacrosanct, what would you like to show us next?

• an example monster entry?
• a page of spells?
• a page from the combat section?
• a magic item that’s new/different?

Thanks!

As long as it's not a Harlot Table, I'm good with any previews.

Stay tuned. In the very near future there may be a pdf for the entire basic rulebook available to all backers via a backer only update.

That’s cool, but I’m fishing for things to show off Chromatic Dungeons to the uninitiated/unpledged!

(EDIT: Maybe you’re trying to get people to pledge in order to to see the preview? I’ve never seen that as a KS promotion strategy, but it might be extremely clever.)

Backers get the full basic rules. Non backers get the chargen preview (there are only three classes in the basic version)

Fighter, rogue, and… spellcaster?

$5000 in pledges!

 

[BookTenTiger]

I'm not usually into OSR clones, but I really like what you are doing here! I pledged $30.

 

[Sacrosanct]

Sacrosanct, a question about pledging:

I’m interested in two printed copies of the core rule book. I’m probably also interested in two printed copies of the basic rules, when they become available.

How can I best pledge for this?
Thanks!

Got confirmation

Hi Roderic,

Yes, they can increase their quantity in the shopping cart.

Cheers,
~Adriel

so basically, for the $30 backer, you can get at-cost books in pretty much any quantity you want at no additional backing to me. That's nice!

It is! Thanks. (Though if you wanted to take a cut on 2nd or 3rd books, that’d be reasonable.)

Will you offer a print option for the Basic rules, if we reach $10k?

Yes. There will be an option for a $40 commitment to get hardcopies of the core book, as well as both basic books (Rules and Monsters&Treasures). As always, every level $10 or above will get all the pdfs of everything that's unlocked. Complete package backers will get hard copies and pdfs of everything, even if they aren't unlocked.

*Reminder, the reason the backing $s are low is because DTRPG is the fulfillment, so backers will still be responsible for print and shipping costs on their own. For example, here is what I was charged last week for them. If you get the core rulebook and both basic books, you'll end up paying $40 to kickstarter, then (13.06+3.48+2.90+shipping) on top of that. So around $65 total for all three books. If you get only the core hardback book, that will be $30 to KS+13.06, or between $45-$50 depending on what your shipping costs would be. As confirmed above, you can add multiple copies if you want, at cost (I sort of lose out on multiple copies, but that's OK).

$5.5k pledged in 7 days.
Another $2.5k, and CD is funded!

 

[Mallus]

That crafting preview is aces. Could really use those rules in our current Labyrinth Lord campaign where my cleric’s side hustle is selling monster parts.

Thank you!

Also....big update just went out. The entire first issue of The Gnoll Sage (one of the stretch goals). And early gift

 

[Thaumaturge]

Backed. I hope this succeeds! OSR style gaming that is also inclusive deserves more press and more life than… other things.

Thaumaturge.

Just wait until you see their antics in the next three zines lol. Think Volo, but more furry

Also, with all these previews I keep giving away, I don't think I have this capitalism thing down very well...

With that realization, you can cast away your imposter syndrome, and be certain that you are a True OSR Publisher!
