My friends at @TheDeckofMany, who created the astoundingly beautiful and successful #Humblewood campaign setting, have come up with a new one, a creepy, whimsical RPG setting called HECKNA.
The kickstarter is in its last 17 hours.
BUT...:)
cont.
They asked for $20k and have raised almost $600,000 already. WOW!
Here's the fun part. If they make their last stretch goal, I will write a graphic novel in their setting, drawn by a SUPERSTAR artist.
If you signed up for their fantastic #HUMBLEWOOD setting, you know the quality of the work they do. The books are like museum pieces. There's tiers for every budget.
But what really excites me is the setting. Take your D&D characters to a bizarre, surreal carnival...LOOK!
It may be the coolest D&D setting I've ever seen.
You end up meeting HECKNA, the terrifying jester who runs the REVELIA, a big top of unsavory splendors...and he wants YOU to join his troupe.
It's indescribably awesome.
:)
Also, THIS thing...YIKES.
You can make the tone anything from classic Tim Burton to outright terror and suspense.
They've crushed every stretch goal so far, we just have a couple left. If they make it, backers will get to read an original graphic novel written by me, drawn by REDACTED!
Check it out, this is the mix of RPGs and the comics world that I absolutely love.
Stretch goals have made special dice available, miniatures, special card decks, and more.
But the setting will blow your mind. :)
Since you destroyed the last stretch goal, I will be playing a streaming game session with the game's head writer, @ashleynhwarren, and we will all be wearing carnival garb and THAT IS ALREADY DISTURBING TO CONTEMPLATE!
I have a weird theory that sounds incredibly goofy but might actually be significant.
It involves Bronson Pinchot.
Okay, this is a bit silly sounding. But I think it might actually also be meaningful, so bear with me (no pun intended).
If there are holes in this theory, happy to hear them. But I think I'm onto something.
It's about movies we loved as kids.
Here we go.
I think we have almost all experienced it if you have a soul at all. We've all had a move we loved as a kid or teen, that when we watch it a decade or more later, we find really cringe-inducing moments. It may be misogyny, it may be racism, transphobia is weirdly common...
Okay, so, I have been looking with avaricious eyes at the Nat20 Dice Books from @Nat20_DiceBox, they are gorgeous books that fold open to reveal a dice tray...and they went and MADE ME ONE.
