Well after a week in the mountains with no service, I am back to civilization and happy to see we surpassed one of the late stretch goals! I will be working hard to finalize the layout for the module and sending it off to the printer by next week for our "proof" and once approved, full printing will begin. That means, by the time the backerkit survey comes out in a couple weeks, PDFs should just about be ready to go out and printing should be starting if not done already. This keeps us on track for our April shipping expectation.
I did spend some time writing while up in those mountains and I am happy to say, playtesting of my follow up, second level module should be starting soon! If you are interested in being part of a playtest, I plan on running live at Strategicon, possibly Gen Con and some online games. Reach out and let me know if you are interested as I will need a pool of victims...I mean players to test out my crazy ideas!
Lastly, the preorder page will be up and live in case you missed the campaign itself and still want your copy of Discovery of the Doomweaver!!!
We are excited to bring you this series of adventures. Because of your incredible support, we reached our initial funding goal in just 48 hours!

Additionally, the three eyes of the triclops came together to discuss using DCC for campaign and long format play in Episode 1 of our Death Guaranteed Games Deathcast. Follow the link to hear about our experiences and some fun and interesting rulings we have made at tables.
Hello backers and supporters of Death Guaranteed Games,
We are halfway through the campaign and have cleared the funding goal. With that in mind, I am working on finalizing some additional details, such as more lore for the Doomweaver Blade and any additional "Judge Notes" we feel would be beneficial, especially for newer judges. In the layout preview provided below, you can see grey "Judge Notes" boxes with reminders and details for running the module as well as our stat blocks which we have modified in a way that we feel makes it easier to run the creatures. As always we welcome feedback and would love to hear what you all think. We also ask if you know anyone who might be interested in picking up this, or one of our previous modules, please share as the more we can raise in this campaign, the more we have to put towards art and swag in future modules.
Thank you again for the support and we will talk to you again soon.
We had an absolute blast at Strategicon. I myself ran 6 games for 4 hours each with 5-8 players per game. What an endurance run! My first game was "The Discovery of the Doomweaver" and the players loved it and did a great job. I may have been a little soft as I didn't manage to need my Cause of Death stamp but a few characters came close and one even succumbed to the mist, but his party was quick to react and saved him. Additionally, Ike ran the game as a funnel and claimed a number of characters lives!
My other games included a 2nd level DCC game, a 5th level DCC game that did claim some PC lives, an intro to XCC game, a mothership game with 4 of the 8 characters "Possibly" having survived, and a second Mothership game that saw the party unwittingly bring the alien back to their ship. 24 hours of running games in an 82 hour period. May need a few days to recover, haha. But now back to work, expanding on the Doomweaver blades lore, updating a few things from what i learned in this last running of the module and finalizing and preparing the backerkit survey so when the campaign ends, we can get into fulfillment as soon as possible.
Thank you again for all who have supported this project and inspiring us and motivating us to dive into the future projects!
You are all amazing and we have reached 100% funded! We went with a higher goal this campaign based on the success of our last 3 modules and we nailed it in just 4 days. We still have plenty of time to grow further and any profits will immediately be put into the next project to get the follow up module up as soon as possible, so please share with anyone you think may be interested.
Additionally, we wanted to put together a short video to help you get to know Death Guaranteed Games and discussed our introductions to TTRPGs, DCC, and each other. We plan to continue making our "Deathcasts" discussing all things TTRPG, DCC, MCC, XCC, and beyond. Perhaps one day in the future we will have someone who knows more about recording and editing and we can add some flare, but for now, these will be fairly raw discussions and we welcome the community to share their feedback, questions and insights.
