48 Hours to Go
Dear Adventurers

Reasons to Pledge to Eldritch: the Book of Madness #4
With 7 days to go, really need to start jumping from the rooftops. And honestly, if I had to give you the elevator pitch, it would be this.
Eldritch tells a story thousands of years in the making, where two cults - the minions of much darker powers - seek to feast on the mort...

Reasons to Pledge to Eldritch: the Book of Madness #3
Part 3 is the fact that for the first time in history, a book is NOT for the players. The players shouldn't even know of this book's existence. The spells in it are NOT for the players; they're all for the dark cults that exist in this setting. The heroes have no way to get ho...

Reason to Pledge to Eldritch #2
Eldritch contains a fully-fledged campaign setting that you can add to any campaign, or just use the locations in your own game. From the Lonely Chapel filled with the final desperate clerics of a dead god to the Graveyard of the Lost, a place filled with vampires that just wi...

THANK YOU so much. Really, crowdfunding campaigns are all about the backers and the crowd, and the next book The Bad Patch is launching really soon, it would mean the WORLD if you could follow along by clicking that Notify me on Launch button! :D
Thank you so much for supporting The Book of Madness campaign. Your support in this campaign means the world to me.
Sadly, due to a few issues, the campaign failed to meet its goal, but I have plenty of hit points left. And it's not nearly over...
I have a small campaign for the physical copy of The Night of Crows, a festive Halloween adventure live NOW. I would be so grateful if you would support it (all the same pledges will be there for Eldritch and there's free shipping on the Book of Madness if you order it with Eldritch). With your help, this will easily fund, and every penny helps with the art costs for the many books on the horizon.
With 7 days to go, really need to start jumping from the rooftops. And honestly, if I had to give you the elevator pitch, it would be this.
Eldritch tells a story thousands of years in the making, where two cults - the minions of much darker powers - seek to feast on the mortal races.
You can take these cults, their spells, or just a few aspects, and easily integrate them into your game. These cults are richly detailed, from their clothing to the mock-benevolent organisations they set up to fool the living.
Everything - and I mean every single sentence - has been considered to give you a book filled with menace. These cults are alive and operating in your world. They're hiding in plain sight behind the Veil, which makes them even more dangerous and unpredictable. And powerful.
This is not a mere sourcebook filled with half-detailed creatures. It's a rich setting where literally everything has a logical place.
Nothing can be taken for granted. No one is who they say they are and even magical items are touched with shadow.
This is at the heart of Eldritch. A darkness is coming and nothing and no one will be left untouched.
This is just the start of the darkness.
I hope you will join me on this journey to experience it for yourself
Part 3 is the fact that for the first time in history, a book is NOT for the players. The players shouldn't even know of this book's existence. The spells in it are NOT for the players; they're all for the dark cults that exist in this setting. The heroes have no way to get hold of these spells, so each one they encounter will be a new and horrific revelation...
Everything in Eldritch is a secret. It's all spoilers, from the <censored> to the <redacted>.
See. It's so secret I can't even talk about it here. :D
But the point is, the players shouldn't know what's going to happen to them (or have any of the answers). They should be drip-fed their sinister doses of darkness through the game, finding out about the new dark world they've found themselves in.
And that is what's most exciting (to me): telling a story of mystery where the players are struggling to keep their characters alive. I've made no secret that I think 5e is way too easy, and Eldritch adds a layer of difficulty never seen before.
Sure, they might be filled with bravado and unafraid of everything in the first session, but by the tenth (and each of them has five or six points of Dread); suddenly it's a whole new ball game (a game in the dark where they don't know the rules and the "ball" is probably a beholder).
And that's the crux of Eldritch. Mystery and a dark mystery. The more they discover, the more they will come to fear the night...
