Project Update: The Forest will remember your name!
Hello Adventurers,
the final goal of €11,000 has been unlocked!
Thanks to you, Whispering Willows continues to grow in pages and meaning. To thank everyone who has chosen to walk this path, I will also add a dedicated page within the book containing the names of all backers! In this way, the Forest will remember those who answered its call!
There are still a few days left in this journey, and the Forest may not be finished growing just yet...
Something is still stirring beneath the leaves. Stay close,
Master Badger.

Project Update: Claws and Shadows: The Forest Grows Restless!
Hello Adventurers,
The forest does not sleep!
Thanks to your unwavering support, the 8th Stretch Goal has been unlocked!
And now, a new presence stirs beneath the leaves!
A new Stretch Goal awaits: Claws and Shadows!
If reached, four additional pages will expand the Bestiary, offering tools to craft unique forest foes. Each creature will carry distinct actions and a defined temperament, supported by new tables to guide their instincts and behavior.
If you haven't joined us yet, now is the time to take that step forward!
And if you already walk these woodland paths, consider sharing the project with fellow adventurers who might hear the forest’s call!

Project Update: Echoes Take Form: A New Stretch Goal Has Been Revealed!
Hello Adventurers,
Whispering Willows continues to grow beyond every expectation!
Thanks to your incredible support, the €7,500 Stretch Goal has been unlocked, and with it, Whispering Willows has fully crossed the threshold from zine to book, expanding its solo and cooperative play and taking shape as a carefully crafted, perfect-bound volume meant to endure many journeys!
Seeing this forest grow so quickly has been remarkable!
And now, the Echoes themselves begin to take form... a new Stretch Goal has been revealed!
Once we reach €9,000, the inventory system will take life!
We will create a printable digital file where every item and spell has its own corresponding card, allowing players to print exactly what they need, whenever they need it. Each item will also unleash its full potential through special Charged abilities, unlocked by spending Echoes.

To support this system, the character sheet will gain a new equipment slot area, designed to manage cards visually during play.
The card template will be crafted by Marga Biazzi (BlackBanshee), ensuring everything feels fully part of the Whispering Forest.

Project Update: The Forest Grows Stronger: Elemental Companions Awakened and a new Stretch Goal revealed!
Hello, Adventurers,
The Whispering Forest has reached another turning point!
Thanks to your support, the €6,000 Stretch Goal is unlocked, and Elemental Companions have awakened.
From now on, Guardians will be able to walk the forest paths guided by ancient elemental spirits, choosing one to serve as a guide for their group, granting unique bonuses and abilities!
And this is only part of what you have already brought to life.
So far, thanks to the unlocked Stretch Goals, Whispering Willows has grown well beyond its original roots:
- a limited illustrated bookmark by BlackBanshee
- a book enriched with even more illustrations
- additional pages filled with new classes, equipment, prompts, tables, and tools to expand both the Guardians and the Village they protect,
- a beautifully illustrated, fine-printed map of the Whispering Forest
- and now, the Elemental Companions, breathing new life into the bond between the Guardians and the forest itself.
What began as a small zine is steadily becoming something richer, deeper, and more alive!
A new Stretch Goal now awaits us!
At €7,500, Whispering Willows will grow even further:
- Four additional pages will expand and enrich the existing solo and cooperative play, providing deeper prompts and guidance for lone Guardians and small groups alike.
- As the project reaches 76 pages, it will fully evolve from a zine into a little book, transitioning to a perfect-bound format.
If you have not yet taken a step into the Whispering Woods, now is the perfect moment!
The journey continues,
Master Badger.

Project Update: The Forest Deepens: New Paths Unlocked and Elemental Companions Awaken!
Hello Adventurers,
The Whispering Forest does not stand still!
Thanks to your support, two more Stretch Goals have been unlocked, and the forest has grown deeper and richer!
And now a new Stretch Goal has been revealed: Elemental Companions Awaken!
When this goal is reached, new rules will allow players to choose an elemental guide to walk beside their Guardians, ancient spirits bound to the forest itself, granting unique bonuses and abilities. Their presence will add a new layer of depth, strategy, and meaning to every journey through the Whispering Willows.
The forest stirs with awakening spirits, and the path ahead still holds many secrets.
The journey continues,
Master Badger.
