NORTHLANDS - 900 Pages Of Adventure for PATHFINDER and S&W

Frog God Games describes its latest Kickstarter product as "an epic campaign guide and adventure path in The Lost Lands for Pathfinder and Swords & Wizardry from the publishers of Sword of Air! " It's a series of six new adventures based on the barbaric Northlands, with authors such as Ed Greenwood, Greg Vaughan, and others. The book comes in at nearly 900 pages, and has a poster map.

The campaign is over half funded, with nearly three weeks to go. You can get the PDF for $45 or a hardcover for $125. Not cheap, but it is nearly 900 pages! Click on the image below to check it out!9

The reason that we do quite a bit for Swords & Wizardry as well is that it is our in-house system. The only books that we release only in one rule set and not the other are books that don't work well in both systems. For example - A big book of rules for particular environment (Fields of Blood, Dunes of Desolation, Mountains of Madness) is great for Pathfinder, but offers very little for Swords & Wizardry players . . . except for the adventures which are being converted.

We're still testing the waters on 5E.

Again Quests of Doom 2 is just for 5E and we have two more books coming out soon for the 5E market.

My game of choice right now is 5E, personally, so we aren't ignoring it!

Just in case you have a hard time finding it (I did, and I know it's there).

I mean it's fair to ask why they would decide to make a new book just for Pathfinder and a relatively less popular system like S&W, when there seems to be a lot of people looking for 5e contnet, not to mention that Frog God's previous releases reflect a shift in the dominance of 5e too.

It's a totally fair question, and believe me, if the 5e version of The Lost Lands: Borderland Provinces (soon to Kickstart) is a big success, then you'll see more and more triple-system campaign releases from us. We're going to do the campaign book experiment very, very shortly, but with a smaller book that won't wipe us out if it doesn't sell well. A 900 page book represents a massive capital risk for a small company, and we have to pay most of it out before the Kickstarter even begins.

Also, a 900-page triple-system release of a book might cause me to hire assassins.

We're going to be switching from 3.5E to 5E once this current campaign finishes. However, I'm thinking of getting the PDF version of this for Pathfinder and converting it over if I like the look of it. Still undecided though. It doesn't help that the Aussie dollar has dropped recently, so $45 USD is about $63-ish AUD at the moment. That's a lot for a PDF, even a 900 page one.

Works for me! Is it not a link for you? Or a wrong link?
