Ran a one shot using Let's Slay a Dragon! Made 8 pre-gens for 3 players, and had to go through all 8 of them by the end of the Adventure. Everyone had fun and I definitely want to explore this system in a full campaign now.

I'm looking forward to grabbing the hardcopy three-pack of those adventures on Kickstarter this summer.

God, yet another KS that looms on the horizon, enticingly...

This one should at least be something like $25 or so, rather than another bank-breaker. (Saving my pennies for Merryshire Detective Agency and the Treasure Overhaul, each of which will presumably be more impactful on my bank account.)

Treasure Overhaul

I'm hoping for a bundle of this, Monster Overhaul, and Magical Industrial Revolution.

That would be nice.

He just posted a preview of the Necropolis chapter to Patreon patrons, including big tables with the titles of arcane tomes. As always, this is something he's extremely good at, so what I saw of them in the RSS preview are super-atmospheric.

Fingers crossed we get to the crowdfunding campaign this calendar year.

yeah, but shipping can break that. Hellcrawl is over 30 bucks, shipping and tariffs and stuff, to Europe. They offer switching to pdf only, but I really LIKE books.

I do like more character crunch though - Shadowfinder felt like a good path for that, specifically to run 3e content.

They have what I guess is the last book, GM Guide, on Kickstarter now, at least I think they have already done the Players and Monsters books.

Speaking of kickstarter, the 'suggested' at the bottom of a project page is now useless? Its no longer RPGs for me.

Yeah, that happens when you already backed all of them.

Well I dont know why they changed it, unless they just wanted to push what looks to be this new search function that looks like its from Ebay of the early 2000s...

Scraping Paizo anything isn't a great path to excellent SD content. Just saying.

Yeah, I bought the Shadowfinder monster supplement in an orgy of "MOAR SHADOWDARK!" and for me it doesn't really fit the SD vibe.
