Kickstarter Ramen Sandwich Press: D&D 5E/Pathfinder 1E+2E location module Lair of the Storm Giant

[doogx]

For D&D 5E and Pathfinder (both editions): Ramen Sandwich Press' latest mini-adventure, Lair of the Storm Giant, is now live on both Kickstarter and Backerkit! Your party visits the mountaintop abode of a learned, yet enigmatic storm giant who is looking to hire someone to clean out her basement. In return, she offers to share knowledge that will grant them great power — or ability and skill buffs, at any rate. However, her basement is anything but ordinary: three levels of storage rooms carved out of the heart of the mountain, containing flesh golems, animated objects, oozes and mimics. And if your party can get through those hazards, they find a red dragon living in a cavern below the basement who is trying to burrow up into the giant's space because it doesn't want to share the mountain. For more about Lair of the Storm Giant, I posted about it to my Substack blog.

This time, we're running simultaneous campaigns on both Kickstarter and Backerkit because, frankly, recent experience suggests to us that Kickstarter's old stronghold on crowdfunding patrons has been loosening over the last several years, with both Gamefound and Backerkit horning in on a marketplace they used to have all to themselves. To test this hypothesis, we're running parallel campaigns in the hope that we can get the attention of backers who might be paying more attention to Backerkit than to Kickstarter these days, or who have all together jumped ship from the latter to the former. Whichever platform you choose to support us is all right to us, as long as you support us!

Good news! Our Backerkit campaign has reached its funding goal. We’ll be getting the pledge manager ready soon. Meanwhile, our Kickstarter campaign is halfway to funding, so we could use some additional impetus to help us clear the bar. Thanks you to everyone who has backed us so far and thank you in advance to everyone who will back us over the next 2-3 weeks!

I’d also like to shout out to the YouTube Channel “Road to the Con” who interviewed me about Ramen Sandwich Press at Wondercon last year. Of course, I appreciate the opportunity to introduce myself to a new audience. Even more so, I am relieved that I made it through 10 minutes of speaking extempore without fumbling; but then again it was the first day of the convention, when I could still think straight. Even if you have been reading my posts on EN World, it’s still an informative look at what I’ve been doing with Ramen Sandwich Press.

I realize that this is more than a little late in coming, but I posted a design diary-type glimpse at some my thought processes behind Lair of the Storm Giant to my Substack blog, "'I Think We've Been Playing It Wrong.'" I hope you find it interesting!

We're down to the last several days of our Kickstarter campaign and although we're very close to funding we still need the equivalent of a handful of people laying down a marker for a print copy before we hit the mark. Don't miss your chance to pre-order our next Places by the Way/Found by the Way location module!

We did it! Both of our crowdfunding campaigns topped their funding goals, and my thanks go out to everyone who supported them. I just want to point out that if you missed out, our Kickstarter campaign is still open for late pledges. Better late than never!
