Kickstarter [Legendary Games] Trail of the Apprentice Kickstarter for Pathfinder and 5E is LIVE NOW!

[LegendaryGames]

When we want to bring new gamers into the hobby, whether friends our age or younger players, starter sets and boxes for beginners are great, but not enough. That's why we created Legendary Beginnings, products designed to be tons of fun for experienced gamers but with structure and content suitable for beginners, young and old. Now we'd like to take that to a whole new level with a 5-part series of exciting adventures, suitable for all ages, the Trail of the Apprentice!

A hidden danger threatens the kingdom of Threll and brave adventurers must answer the call! A bold attack and a mysterious theft set a group of heroes on a mission to find the mastermind behind them. They must follow clues, face terrible threats, and uncover ancient secrets to stop a madman before he can unleash a terrible evil upon the world.

The adventure saga includes 5 adventures, which are available in PDF or as a print compilation, for Patfinder, 5th Edition, or both:

The Bandit's Cave for 1st-level characters
The King's Curse for 2nd-level characters
The Thieves' Den for 3rd-level characters
The Oracle's Test for 4th-level characters
The Wizard's Dungeon for 5th-level characters

Each adventure is an action-packed delight, but also include simplified stat blocks and other rules adjustments to keep gameplay fun and fast for new players, with helpful sidebars that provide advice on how to run RPGs for younger gamers so your whole family can Make Your Game Legendary!

Hop on board now with the Trail of the Apprentice right now! The Kickstarter runs for 4 weeks, ending on April 22nd! https://www.kickstarter.com/project...-of-the-apprentice-a-pathfinder-and-5e-saga-f

We are excited to announce that the Trail of the Apprentice Kickstarter for Pathfinder and 5Ehttps://www.kickstarter.com/project...-of-the-apprentice-a-pathfinder-and-5e-saga-f has doubled its funding goal with almost a week left to go! We're super-excited about brand-new bonus goals, like a set of pregenerated characters for the compilation ready to use right out of the box plus a set of new fiends of the Shadescar Rift by Mike Welham!

Next goal in sight is for a brand-new piece of cover art for the compilation, with more bonus goals besides for number of backers, Facebook likes, and more! We thank each and every one of you for your support, both those of you who have pledged and those of you who have helped spread the word. We hope all of you can keep us spreading the good word about Trail of the Apprentice for a spectacular six-day streak to the finish!

Of course, just because we're running a Kickstarter doesn't mean we aren't still bringing you a ton of great new product! Last week we brought you the Tomes of Ancient Knowledgehttp://www.makeyourgamelegendary.com/products-page/5th-edition/tomes-of-ancient-knowledge-5e/http://www.makeyourgamelegendary.com/products-page/5th-edition/tomes-of-ancient-knowledge-5e/ and Treasury of the Macabrehttp://www.makeyourgamelegendary.com/products-page/5th-edition/treasury-of-the-macabre-5e/http://www.makeyourgamelegendary.com/products-page/5th-edition/treasury-of-the-macabre-5e/, bringing you a wealth of horror-themed loot for your 5th Edition campaign, and this week we bring you another load of loot, this time from the tombs and treasures of fantasy Egypt with Treasury of the Pharaohs!http://www.makeyourgamelegendary.com/products-page/5th-edition/treasury-of-the-pharaohs-5e/http://www.makeyourgamelegendary.com/products-page/5th-edition/treasury-of-the-pharaohs-5e/

With over 30 brand-new magic items themed for deserts and ruins of ancient fallen kingdoms and their mysterious monoliths, this book is sure to please the most dedicated treasure hunters! Pick it up today at the Legendary Games webstore, Paizo, Open Gaming Store, or DrivethruRPG!

Better still, if you love for your 5th Edition game, next week we should be ready to debut the Treasury of the Kingdom, with nearly 40 new magic items around the theme of faerie forests, wilderness exploration, and the conquest and ruling of your own kingdom!

We also have a special bonus for our customers at the Legendary Games webstore: since I was camping on this past Monday, I wasn't able to post up the latest Mythic Mini devoted to the occult: Mythic Minis 85: Medium, Psychic, and Spiritualist Featshttp://www.makeyourgamelegendary.co...nis-85-medium-psychic-and-spiritualist-feats/http://www.makeyourgamelegendary.co...nis-85-medium-psychic-and-spiritualist-feats/. You can pick it up in wide release wherever fine Pathfinder products are sold on next MYTHIC MONDAY as usual, but you can pick it up right now here at the Legendary Games webstore!

We'll have just one more Mythic Mini in this series before we switch our focus to feats of intrigue and more, celebrating the mystery and machinations unveiled in Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Ultimate Intrigue, starting the first Monday in May!

Three days left to go and over 250 backers!

We are now counting down the hours, with brand-new cover art for the compilation easily within reach, and at $16,000 character cards for the key heroes and villains of the Adventure Path, and at 275 backers (currently 251) bringing Linda Zayas-Palmer's simplified witch character class!

It's an exciting race to the finish and we are thankful to everyone who has helped push this project along the way, from pledges to podcast interviews to just liking and sharing and asking questions along the way!

Now get out there and pledge before we reach the end of the Trail on Friday night!

 

[LegendaryGames]

We blasted past $14,000 and with less than 48 hours left our next big goal at $16,000 is well within reach! Help us unlock face cards in PDF and print for the key heroes and villains of the Trail of the Apprentice saga!

It's the final day of the Trail of the Apprentice Kickstarter! Hop on the Trail today!https://www.kickstarter.com/project...tice-a-pathfinder-and-5e-saga-f/posts/1555260

It's been a long Trail, but we are approaching the end. We still have time to hit more bonus goals, though! We thank each and every one of you for your support, but because we love milestones we give a special shout-out to Backer #300, John Bowlin, and to wolfthulu for pushing us over the $17,000 mark!

For hitting the 300-backer mark, we have added a bonus section on Continuing the Campaign! This section will discuss not only the secret master villain behind this Apprentice your heroes have been chasing (and what other apprentices or servants that villain may have), but also more broadly the idea of transitioning from a beginner-style game to a standard Pathfinder or 5E campaign.

We also are closing fast on $18,000, which would be TRIPLE our initial funding goal, and if we hit that number we'll be producing a brand-new Legendary Beginnings adventure. This won't be part of the storyline of Trail of the Apprentice, but we'll be offering you a choice of several different adventure ideas (including a sequel to Into the Feyweald, available as an add-on pledge) and every backer will have a chance to vote on which adventure they'd like to see us do! This adventure would be created after we finish our obligations to Trail of the Apprentice, of course, but if all goes well we may be able to get it done in time for GenCon this August!

Speaking of getting things done, The King's Curse has completed layout for the Pathfinder version and is in layout now for the 5E version, so once we complete our backer surveys you'll be able to get the first TWO adventures in the series next week!

The sketches for the last two pieces of art for the adventures came in last night, and they're looking great. I'm looking forward to the final versions for adventures #3 and #4! Meanwhile, keep spreading the word #TrailoftheApprentice - this thing ain't over yet! KEEP CLIMBING THE TRAIL!!!

Just received the first two adventures in this series (wow...that was fast for a kickstarter project!).
They look fantastic. Lots of advice/tips for new players & DMs throughout the adventures.

It looks very easy to convert these adventures to Forgotten Realms:
- The starting village of Corbin could easily be replaced with Phandalin (from the 5e starter set).
- The nearby swamp could be the Mere of Dead Men.
- The 2nd adventure (King's curse) which takes place in the city of Port Fairglade, could easily be placed in Waterdeep or Neverwinter. Both of those cities have thriving Thieves' guilds (for the 3rd adventure in the series: The Thieves' Den). With a little work, one could even located the "Den" in Skullport...
