Kickstarter Wickerpunk RPG: where folk horror & heroic fantasy meet! D&D+ sourcebook.

[the frase]

Hi, we're Crow Land Publishing, and we've launched our first book, Wickerpunk on Kickstarter a week ago. A supplement book for Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition, with application for all fantasy and horror games, such as Pathfinder, Call Of Cthulhu and even superhero games, like Champions. It will be 275 pages.

Folk horror – horror and supernatural fiction that relies on elements of the past, folklore, superstition, the dreadful majesty of nature, the darkest urges of old religion. And old gods. Where the landscape itself is a symbol of fear and dark majesty. 

Heroic fantasy – a dream of blades and magic, a dream of defiance of the dark powers of the world, where we can be our truest ideals of our self. 

And when these genres collide – we have Wickerpunk. A genre in which the ancient and natural world of the Wyld meets the imperialist world of Industry.

Wickerpunk is a sourcebook that instructs GMs and players alike on what wickerpunk looks like in a game of D&D or any fantasy roleplaying game.

We are in week 2 of our Kickstarter campaign and were fully funded in 8 hours . The book is all finished & we're fulfilling all orders through ONE BOOKSHELF.

I like the cover

This sounds really cool. There's a Wickerpunk element to my version of Tomb of Annihilation and I really plan to amp that up when we get around to Rime of the Frostmaiden.

Thanks! I'm into it too. It is illustrated by a good friend of ours Doug Holgate who's best known these days for his Last Kids On Earth books and the Netflix show adaptaion.

Very cool! Should be plenty of ideas for you to use in our book. (I'm going to adapt a lot for our Ravenloft campaign).

 

[Ace]

Sounds great and I normally run at top speed from anything in gaming called "punk"

 

[BookTenTiger]

This sounds like an idea my friends and I have been kicking around for a while. I just pledged!

Thankyou so much. You have secured your seat in Valhalla!

Finally!

To explain a little further, after a one-shot in which my friend played a Firbolg Cleric who worshipped, essentially, the Blair Witch, we started brainstorming ideas about an "Americana horror" D&D setting: witches, dark woods, mad preachers, etc. It looks like Wickerpunk could fit that niche nicely!

Sounds great, and indeed a good fit for out Wickerpunk book.
