However, I just kept coming back to it, and this story seed that had some similarities to one of my all-time favorite adventures, <strong><em>Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl</em></strong>, resonated in my mind. While Glacial Rift was more for upper level characters, I couldn't help but feel that several of the monsters I'd designed for <strong><em>The Folio of Fiendish Monsters</em></strong> would be perfect for a lower level 'frost' adventure, and this map could house them.

This product is not related to the <strong>AL</strong> release in any way, shape or form. <strong><em>Uninvited Guests</em></strong> is a short, one-shot social adventure for <em><strong>Dungeons and Dragons 5th</strong></em>and for <em><strong>Pathfinder</strong></em>. It is technically for any level (although it might be hard to explain why a high level party would be in such a situation) and is designed to be run in a single session. The party is tasked with retrieving an item in the possession of Venril, a prominent local noble that lives on a lavish estate at the edge of town. The item has to be retrieved today, which is a problem because tonight is the night of Venril's yearly gala where he invites all the nobles of the city to one big party at his lavish estate. So the players have to go in undercover as event organizers provided by the equivalent of a local staffing agency. They are purposely put in to awkward situations where they must adapt to what's asked of them without arousing suspicion, all the time trying to determine where the item they seek is located, how to get it without causing a scene, and leaving without getting arrested. And doing all that preferably without having to kill anyone.”[/HQ]</p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"></p><p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH]103458[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"></p><p> <strong><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/adventureaweek/adventure-omnibus" target="_blank">Adventure Omnibus</a></strong><strong> by <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/4409/AAW-Games&affiliate_id=814082" target="_blank">AAW</a></strong></p><p> </p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>END DATE:</strong> Thu, December 20 2018 1:10 PM EST on <strong>Kickstarter</strong> </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>SYSTEM(S):</strong> <strong>Pathfinder 1e</strong> </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>PROJECT TYPE: </strong>Adventure paths </li> </ul> <p style="margin-left: 20px">[HQ]“The <strong><em>Adventure Omnibus</em> Kickstarter</strong> combines every single A, B, and C-series adventure released by <strong><a href="https://adventureaweek.com/" target="_blank">Adventureaweek.com</a></strong><strong> (AAW Games)</strong> from 2010-2018. We would like to preserve the essence of each adventure like a snapshot captured in time by keeping each module exactly as it was when released. The <strong>A-Series</strong> was where […] we dreamt up an entire world called <strong>Aventyr</strong> to use as a campaign setting available only on <strong><a href="https://adventureaweek.com/" target="_blank">Adventureaweek.com</a></strong> with adventures which could be played in the setting or easily moved to a GM’s own campaign or setting of choice. The <strong>B-series</strong> was created by special guest authors and includes over 24 adventures designed for use in any campaign setting and a multitude of environments from city to wilderness, desert to temperate and everything in between. The <strong>C-series </strong>is inspired by and pays homage to tabletop roleplaying game legends such as Gary Gygax, Dave Arneson, and David C. Sutherland III. Dangerous dungeons and exotic encounters with challenges which can only be overcome by using one’s wits. These adventures will surely challenge both players and GMs alike. Jonathan G. Nelson, Todd Gamble, Joshua Gullion (RIP), Stephen Yeardley, Will Myers, Tim Tyler, and many others helped craft that which we would ultimately become. Now that eight solid years of releases have passed we decided the time has come to take the culmination of our efforts in the three major series we produced and put them into a retrospective omnibus, looking back at all we have done, capturing a moment in time if you will, and performing careful surgery upon ancient files in such a way as to produce something that has exactly the feel and quality of the original whilst adding in updated page numbers and links to accommodate for each series and the combined nature of the product. Behold, the <strong><em>Adventure Omnibus</em></strong> for <strong>Pathfinder Roleplaying Game</strong>! A culmination of works from 2010-2018 in four massive volumes numbering well over 2,200 pages in length!”[/HQ]</p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"></p><p> [h=3]<strong>RPG/GAMING ACCESSORIES</strong>[/h]<p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH]103459[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"></p><p> <strong><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/175522302/the-art-of-de-architecturart-collection-of-fantasy" target="_blank">The ART of De Architecturart: collection of fantasy maps</a></strong><strong> by De Architecturart</strong></p><p> </p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>END DATE:</strong> Fri, December 14 2018 2:00 PM EST on <strong>Kickstarter</strong> </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>PROJECT TYPE: </strong>An artbook collection of fantasy maps </li> </ul> <p style="margin-left: 20px">[HQ]“This project offers to gather, in one book, the different maps already published in <strong><a href="https://www.dearchitecturart.com/" target="_blank">De Architecturart</a></strong>, previous publications, a company specialized in adventure settings.

It has been designed for 6-8 characters, roughly 1st through 4th. I created a map I really loved, but it was just too big for one of my [B]True Level Adventure[/B] modules, so I shelved it as I worked through other stuff. However, I just kept coming back to it, and this story seed that had some similarities to one of my all-time favorite adventures, [B][I]Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl[/I][/B], resonated in my mind. While Glacial Rift was more for upper level characters, I couldn't help but feel that several of the monsters I'd designed for [B][I]The Folio of Fiendish Monsters[/I][/B] would be perfect for a lower level 'frost' adventure, and this map could house them. Couple that with an absolutely outstanding and hilarious Jim Holloway snow encounter cover (thanks Jim!) and I had to put it together.”[/HQ] [/INDENT] [CENTER][ATTACH=CONFIG]103456[/ATTACH] [/CENTER] [B][URL="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1745780643/adrift-in-the-dark-a-5th-edition-one-shot-duet"]Adrift in the Dark: A 5th Edition One-Shot Duet[/URL][/B][B] by Ischemic Ideas[/B] [LIST] [*][B]END DATE:[/B] Tue, December 18 2018 12:59 AM EST on [B]Kickstarter[/B] [*][B]SYSTEM(S):[/B] [B]Dungeons & Dragons 5e[/B] [*][B]PROJECT TYPE: [/B][B]DM and single-player Duet adventure module with a version [/B]for four players [/LIST] [INDENT][HQ]“[I]As our story begins, a lone adventurer has booked passage aboard the merchant ship Crescendo, sailing north to the site of a mysterious magical endeavour that is widely rumoured to provide all of Irid with a measure of refuge from the chaos of the Everthroes.

This product is not related to the [B]AL[/B] release in any way, shape or form. [B][I]Uninvited Guests[/I][/B] is a short, one-shot social adventure for [I][B]Dungeons and Dragons 5th[/B][/I]and for [I][B]Pathfinder[/B][/I]. It is technically for any level (although it might be hard to explain why a high level party would be in such a situation) and is designed to be run in a single session. The party is tasked with retrieving an item in the possession of Venril, a prominent local noble that lives on a lavish estate at the edge of town. The item has to be retrieved today, which is a problem because tonight is the night of Venril's yearly gala where he invites all the nobles of the city to one big party at his lavish estate. So the players have to go in undercover as event organizers provided by the equivalent of a local staffing agency. They are purposely put in to awkward situations where they must adapt to what's asked of them without arousing suspicion, all the time trying to determine where the item they seek is located, how to get it without causing a scene, and leaving without getting arrested. And doing all that preferably without having to kill anyone.”[/HQ] [/INDENT] [CENTER][ATTACH=CONFIG]103458[/ATTACH] [/CENTER] [B][URL="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/adventureaweek/adventure-omnibus"]Adventure Omnibus[/URL][/B][B] by [URL="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/4409/AAW-Games&affiliate_id=814082"]AAW[/URL][/B] [LIST] [*][B]END DATE:[/B] Thu, December 20 2018 1:10 PM EST on [B]Kickstarter[/B] [*][B]SYSTEM(S):[/B] [B]Pathfinder 1e[/B] [*][B]PROJECT TYPE: [/B]Adventure paths [/LIST] [INDENT][HQ]“The [B][I]Adventure Omnibus[/I] Kickstarter[/B] combines every single A, B, and C-series adventure released by [B][URL="https://adventureaweek.com/"]Adventureaweek.com[/URL][/B][B] (AAW Games)[/B] from 2010-2018. We would like to preserve the essence of each adventure like a snapshot captured in time by keeping each module exactly as it was when released. The [B]A-Series[/B] was where […] we dreamt up an entire world called [B]Aventyr[/B] to use as a campaign setting available only on [B][URL="https://adventureaweek.com/"]Adventureaweek.com[/URL][/B] with adventures which could be played in the setting or easily moved to a GM’s own campaign or setting of choice. The [B]B-series[/B] was created by special guest authors and includes over 24 adventures designed for use in any campaign setting and a multitude of environments from city to wilderness, desert to temperate and everything in between. The [B]C-series [/B]is inspired by and pays homage to tabletop roleplaying game legends such as Gary Gygax, Dave Arneson, and David C. Sutherland III. Dangerous dungeons and exotic encounters with challenges which can only be overcome by using one’s wits. These adventures will surely challenge both players and GMs alike. Jonathan G. Nelson, Todd Gamble, Joshua Gullion (RIP), Stephen Yeardley, Will Myers, Tim Tyler, and many others helped craft that which we would ultimately become. Now that eight solid years of releases have passed we decided the time has come to take the culmination of our efforts in the three major series we produced and put them into a retrospective omnibus, looking back at all we have done, capturing a moment in time if you will, and performing careful surgery upon ancient files in such a way as to produce something that has exactly the feel and quality of the original whilst adding in updated page numbers and links to accommodate for each series and the combined nature of the product. Behold, the [B][I]Adventure Omnibus[/I][/B] for [B]Pathfinder Roleplaying Game[/B]! A culmination of works from 2010-2018 in four massive volumes numbering well over 2,200 pages in length!”[/HQ] [/INDENT] [h=3][B]RPG/GAMING ACCESSORIES[/B][/h][CENTER][ATTACH=CONFIG]103459[/ATTACH] [/CENTER] [B][URL="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/175522302/the-art-of-de-architecturart-collection-of-fantasy"]The ART of De Architecturart: collection of fantasy maps[/URL][/B][B] by De Architecturart[/B] [LIST] [*][B]END DATE:[/B] Fri, December 14 2018 2:00 PM EST on [B]Kickstarter[/B] [*][B]PROJECT TYPE: [/B]An artbook collection of fantasy maps [/LIST] [INDENT][HQ]“This project offers to gather, in one book, the different maps already published in [B][URL="https://www.dearchitecturart.com/"]De Architecturart[/URL][/B], previous publications, a company specialized in adventure settings.
