In case you missed it, we unlocked yet another stretch goal and will be adding more monster art to Tome of the Undead King.
We want to thank all our backers so far for unlocking so many great stretch goals!
A few examples of our creature art from other one shot campaigns:
While on the subject of monsters, the Penny Dragon ADVENTure Calendar features a free magic item, monster, or encounter every day between now and Christmas. With over 8,000 downloads (and counting) it's been wildly successful. The best way to get these is to keep an eye on our website daily. You can get the most recent 3 HERE.
If you already know awesome, but we only announced it to our mailing list so a lot of people on here won't know.
BTW be sure to get them asap because they're only up there for about a day.
Anyway...We aren't THAT far off the next stretch goal! D20 Encounter Table, here we come!!! :D
AND I reckon we could still hit the labelled area map at the $10,000 mark. If we share a little.
Let's do this!
Thanks again for all your support. Excited to see where we land.
As always, any questions about the campaign, feel free to drop them below!
Please Vote on our Next Project & MCDM Goes BIG...Again :)
Hey there,
Lathander knows 2023 has been a tough year for many.
In fact, we've been so busy working through crazy times, we haven't even had a chance to update you on a few matters pertaining to Penny Dragon.
A few months back, someone deleted our Facebook page, our website, and a bunch of TikTok content amidst several people unexpectedly parting ways with Penny Dragon Games. The person behind the destruction of company property wanted to really hurt Penny Dragon Games, and in all honestly, they did. Really badly...But we doubled down and made sure to look after our people. And our wonderful team pulled out all the stops.
Little by little...we're getting back on our feet.
Despite the drama, we look to 2024 with so much excitement! We'll bring so many projects to a close in the first half of the year and publish several new books and games in the latter half.
We've already earmarked several books for the year ahead, but the reality is we can only launch so many projects in 12 months. And we're trying to downsize on bigger projects. So, we'd love you to vote on our poll to see which of the following 3 bigger campaigns launch in 2024.
Sayuri's Chest of Twisted Treasure - A Silk Road inspired book of magic items, featuring Aizendore's arch nemesis and her merry band of "collectors".
Tinara's Manual for Midestra - A setting book about the expansive lands of Midestra as told via the travel journal of a famous Aragosian Redcloak detective.
Keeli's Guide to Fungtasia - A setting book about a wondrous subterranean world of magical fungi, accessed via several portals in Midestra and other openings in the many realms.
Whichever books don't win will get pushed into 2025 unless an earlier slot opens up (something earlier gets cancelled, etc).
Also, anyone who follows our YouTube channel will know I'm a big fan of MDCM's work.
I'm sure the guys across the pond are celebrating the wild success of their most recent project on Backerkit. They launched earlier today and are already well over $1,000,000.
If you haven't already seen it (which I'm sure most of you have) and you like MCDM's stuff, check it out here!
We aren't too far from the next stretch goal. I imagine we'll be posting about that over the weekend at some stage.
I've been trying to write an update for the last hour and yall keep unlocking stretch goals on me! Not that I'm complaining!
Congratulation!
Not only did we fund in around 10 minutes, you unlocked 3 stretch goals, including:
1 New Magic Item
2 Additional New Magic Items
1 New NPC
And we're so close to unlocking 2 Additional new NPCs.
I'm so excited that these have been unlocked. As some of you already know, these aren't just random new magic items or characters. They connect to the adventure and can be used to expand it beyond a one shot if you chose.
We work really hard to make less work for the DM where we can.
As you may also already know, I love unlocking the labelled hand illustrated area map. I feel that it ties the whole thing together. Hopefully we can unlock that by the end of the campaign!
Thank you for such a strong start to this new series of One Dollar One Shots.
We can't wait to get it out there.
Oh, and if you want to help unlock more stretch goals, feel free to share the campaign with your gaming friends on Discord.
P.S. I've created a poll to see what you're interested in seeing us make later on down the line. It'll be a while before we get to anything like that, but I'd love to get your thoughts!
I was admittedly late submitting my survey, but now it is simply in limbo, not quite locked, and I don't have access to the PDF as a result. Looking for a little support, I appreciate it.
Apologies for the delay on uploading the character sheets. I uploaded them this morning and sent out notifications. I hope you are all enjoying your copies of Tomb of the Undead King. We've had some great feedback from a few people and we always love to hear your thoughts on our adventures.
Gizcog's Wandering Emporium Update
This one is still in layout and will likely be fulfilled this time next week. It has been a fun one to work on. Gizcog and Krispy are two rather beloved characters in Penny Dragon land. Krispy is actually inspired by a stuffed toy that has been with me for a very long time and was dubbed the rather unfortunate name of Krispy Bacon. Pausing Unlock the Vault
This month's campaign for the Unlock the Vault series has been replaced with an extra special campaign - Onions & Wagons!
An adventure celebrating 50 Years of DnD!
Onions & Wagons
If you'd like to check out this slice of madness you can do so HERE.
An early version of this adventure is being played at Gary Con XVI next week and we are super excited to bring the updated version to life, with original art, maps, monster some added extras.
Tomb of the Undead King has left the Penny Dragon building. As you know, this is the first key in the Unlock the Vault series and took us a little longer to perfect. Thank you all for your patience! We eagerly await your feedback and hope you enjoy this adventure as much as we've enjoyed creating it!
The character sheets will be with you in the next couple of days, too.
The second key in this series is currently in layout and we are just as excited to see the fulfilment of that adventure.
BUT, did you know?
The third instalment of the Unlock the Vault series, Haunting of the Everwood is in its FINAL 2 days on Backerkit!
Great news, friends! Tomb of the Undead King is getting the royal treatment now with some additional artwork as its crowning glory and a final quality assurance check from the High Lorekeeper. It will be in your inboxes by the weekend.
But if you just can’t wait until then, here is a little sample of what’s in store:
Yes, Haunting of the Everwood is the third instalment, but each adventure in the Unlock the Vault series is designed to be self-contained.
That said, if you do want to play them in sequence, the second instalment, Legend of the Silver Colosseum, is available as an Add On to the campaign and the Penny Dragon imps are working furiously to get that one to your inboxes as soon as possible too.
