D&D 5E Update! Goodman Games Announces Dark Tower for 5E and DCC

[darjr]

I've admired Jennell Jaquays designs since before I knew who she was. I was so sad when they were no longer available. But now the Dark Tower is and hopefully more will be!

From Goodman Games

We here at Goodman Games love bringing the classic adventures of tabletop’s formative era to the contemporary RPGers of today. In fact, we’ve just recently announced our latest classic conversion project at Gary Con, during the “What’s New With Goodman Games” seminar, but we couldn’t wait to share a little bit more with you.
The new edition will feature new cover art by Sanjulian.

So step back in time with us to 1980 and have a crawl through the only non-TSR module to ever make Dungeon Magazine’s cut as one of ‘the greatest D&D modules of all time:’ Dark Tower. Goodman Games has acquired Dark Tower from the Judges’ Guild, and will republish it in fully converted 5E and DCC RPG editions later this year. Director of Product Development Chris Doyle will lead the conversion to 5E, and original Dark Tower creator Jennell Jaquays will be included in design work on the new edition.

Update: the Kickstarter sign up is live! From Jennell Jaquays

Goodman Games is adapting my 1979 AD&D adventure Dark Tower for both D&D 5e and their own DCC rules. Backers in the first 48 hrs get an original print I created for this campaign. BUT... The first 100 backers will get a signed version of the print.

So make sure you sign up!

I've asked if the original will be made available again in PDF and if the new book will have articles and history like an OAR book.

They just remastered and did a deluxe version of Dark Tower a couple years ago.

Kind of disappointed. Was hoping to hear about the next OAR.

Not quite the same. But I get ya. I still want the other, and them owning it entirely, means it may be made available again.

Yep, that’s it. It is not the same thing but similar. This new project will obviously be 5E and DCC. I backed the last one and didn’t care for it too much and ended up selling it on eBay.

Holy...a three book set, in a slipcase...with more than 64 pages each? Who does that?

Oh! And update to the update! Miniatures! Not I. The Kickstarter though.
From Jennell Jaquays.

Otherworld miniatures would like you to know that game miniatures for these characters and many others for Dark Tower are available in their online shop.

This is one I definitely would like to run in 5E...
