Hail, Haunted Heroes of Stonewater!

As Halloween approaches, I wanted to share an update from Thad, who has been plugging away on the module, and in the process making it even MORE amazing. He sent the following from his lair, er, I mean, his computer:

"Plan to expand random loot (with custom magic items) from 50 to 100!

Now includes over 80 monsters/NPCs, including a bestiary that can be used in other adventures!

Jam-packed with content, will fill all 64 pages!
Plan to ship early 2025 (Yes, that is only 3-4 months from now! Gulp.)"

For those of you who backed at levels to create items, etc., we are nearing the end of our Purple Planet project, and we will be preparing the survey for this project in the next couple of weeks. At that time, we will get information from you regarding your creations, and share them with Thad.

But while he is plugging away at Exorcist, and while Andrea and I get Purple Planet out the door, two other Gaming Honors team members have something up their sleeves. Get ready for...METAL GODS OF THE APOCALYPSE!

Get ready for a savage, third-level DCC or 5E-compatible adventure for 4-6 hardcore players, cranked to 11 and steeped in the hard-charging chaos of heavy metal. Heroes shred their way through a demon-infested cathedral to claim the mantle of a Horseman of the Apocalypse. Only those who are truly metal will earn the right to pass judgment on a dying world!

Follow NOW to hear when we go live with this metal mayhem!

Thanks for making all of this magic and madness possible,

The Haunted Gaming Honors Team

Hail, Heroes of Stonewater!

Thad continues fine-tuning The Exorcist Awaits, a process that has lately involved a fair number of PC fatalities at our table! Thanks to all of you, our very first adventure sequel is going to be something special. In the first volume, The Exodus of Wolfbane, PCs journey to a storied land along with their magical guardian, the mysterious Shadowforde. In The Exorcist Awaits, the heroes must now rescue him from demonic forces that threaten to corrupt him and all they know and love.

With that in mind, I thought a look back at Thad's first introduction to Shadowforde five years ago was in order. This is from the opening of Exodus:

As you can see, the villagers owe everything to Shadowforde, and that was BEFORE he helped them flee Wolfbane. Your players will need all their ingenuity--and a lot of luck!--to save him.

We are putting the finishing touches on O' Happy Dagger!, our Purple Planet adventure, and then Andrea will be getting the survey out to all of you for Exorcist. Seems appropriate timing with Halloween right around the corner!

Thanks again for your support,

Hail, Haunted Heroes of Stonewater!

Woohoo! You did it! Not only is The Exorcist Awaits going to see the light of day, but all backers will receive a PDF of Matt Morrow's amazing cover art, AND we will make all of the handouts available as PDFs on our website--in full color! (And if you've played The Exodus of Wolfbane, you know Thad loves using handouts!) What an epic finish!

So what happens now? Thad will reach out to those backers who pledged at levels allowing them to collaborate on creating magic items, weapons, and even NPCs. As that happens, he'll incorporate changes and additions as we work towards finalizing the text. We've already gotten a great deal of art in...as you've seen! We will be prioritizing finalizing the text and layout.

We will also be preparing a backer survey to gather your shipping and DrivethruRPG addresses for PDFs. Remember, shipping is added after you've completed the survey.

For now, though, let's all celebrate a moment before we turn to the real business at hand, which is, of course, saving Shadowforde! 

With MUCH Gratitude,

The Haunted Gang at Gaming Honors

Hail, Haunted Heroes of Stonewater!

Whoa! You aren't messing around! Thanks to all of you, Thad's life just got a lot busier, er, I mean, you have unlocked an amazing Achievement! The Exorcist Awaits is stuffed with custom mechanics and handouts for players, and now we will make full-color versions of these handouts available on our website!

Thad's been wanting to continue the epic story he began in The Exodus of Wolfbane for years, and you've all made that possible. Now, with a few hours left to go, what else can happen? Who knows! Please spread the word as we wind down the campaign, and let's save Shadowforde!

With much gratitude,

The Haunted Gang at Gaming Honors

Greetings, Haunted Heroes!

Thanks to our wonderful backers, we are less than $500 away from unlocking another Achievement!
 
If we raise $4,000, we will make full-color PDFs of player handouts available at www.gaminghonors.com!

Thad loves introducing custom mechanics, including handouts, in his adventures, and The Exorcist Awaits teems with them. While these are printed in black and white in the book, with your help we can make full-color PDFs of these handouts available for download on our website. We're very close, so please help spread the word as the the campaign comes to a close!

You have already unlocked a PDF of Matt Morrow's amazing cover art, and we're grateful. (We are starting to have quite the collection of these in our game room.) Now let's see what the final days bring!

Fight your demons, and save Shadowforde!

With Gratitude,

The Haunted Gang at Gaming Honors
