From the whispering shadows of haunted Ustalav an ancient evil rises to grip the world in a new age of horror!
Pathfinder’s darkest and most frightening campaign ever sets the heroes against the agents of Golarion’s most notorious villain, the Whispering Tyrant, in a terrifying trek across a land of lurking horror and ancient mysteries.
Haunting of Harrowstone: When cultists seeking to free the imprisoned lich king Tar-Baphon violate the ruined prison of Harrowstone, the long-quiet ghostly inmates rise in undead revolt! Brought together by the death of a common ally, the heroes unite to save the residents of a tormented town and lay the spirits of Harrowstone to rest.
Trial of the Beast: When the reign of terror of a savagely cunning flesh golem comes to an end, the enlightened folk of Lepidstadt insist that the creature face a lawful trial. While on the trail of the Whispering Way cultists, the heroes find their fates entwined with that of the beast when they are enlisted to guard it against infuriated townsfolk, scholars of the macabre, and the slaves of its mad creator!
Broken Moon: The mysterious murder of Ustalav's lord of werewolves triggers a war in the nation's grim forests that soon spills onto the streets. The forlorn land's desperate people begin a hunt to scour the nation of its deadly shape-shifters. Entreated by the lord of the werewolves to help unite his savage people, the heroes must risk becoming tainted by the curse of lycanthropy as they race to find an outcast lair.
Wake of the Watcher: When the heroes learn of an unholy bargain between the cultists of the Whispering Way and the drowned gods of the wretched town of Illmarsh, they must journey through a wilderness gone wrong to prevent the terrible union. But an eerie eye has fallen upon Illmarsh, and the community's deep lords are the first to fall! Can the heroes discover what foulness festers in the minds of Illmarsh? And will they be able to withstand the whispers of an insanity from beyond the stars?
Ashes at Dawn: A murderer stalks the streets of Caliphas, a slasher who only hunts a particular type of victim: vampires. As the heroes track the cultists of the Whispering Way, they lose their quarry amid the mazelike alleys of Ustalav’s crowded capital city. But from the shadows, a dark patron rises with offers of aid and insights into the cult’s ultimate evil. This leads the heroes into an underworld of endless night, where they must explore the vampires’ deadly society and indulge its blasphemous traditions who’s murdering the undead.
Shadows of Gallowspire: The deadly plot of the Whispering Way cultists comes to its terrifying climax in the shadows of the tower imprisoning the Whispering Tyrant himself! Can the heroes withstand the ageless evil of Gallowspire to finally defeat the Whispering Way?
Bestiary: Pulling the creatures that appear most frequently across the adventure path into a single volume, the Bestiary helps the GM keep a reference at hand to avoid flipping through the other books during play.
The Carrion Crown Player’s Guide: This book gives players all the spoiler-free background information and inspiration they’ll need to create characters prepared for the horrors of the Carrion Crown Adventure Path. Adventurers need not venture into the darkness unprepared—gather your courage and let the Carrion Crown Player’s Guide be your first step into the nightmare of Ustalov.
Pawns weren't created for the original Carrion Crown, but Paizo was gracious enough to let us offer our own set—for the first time anywhere—here with this campaign!
This special pawn set features 10 sheets of pawns depicting the creatures and characters of Carrion Crown with artwork from Paizo's amazing artists, combined with the quality you've come to expect from pawns for Savage Worlds: die-cut to match each individual outline from durable punch board. Note that like the Paizo pawns, these feature the same image on the front and back. This is a great accessory whether you're playing the campaign with Savage Worlds or with the original Pathfinder rules!
Originally published in 2009, Pathfinder is a hugely successful d20-based fantasy roleplaying game from Paizo Inc. Players take the role of fantasy heroes seeking adventure, fame, and fortune in the world of Golarion.
What's Savage Worlds?
Savage Worlds is a versatile roleplaying game system, first published in 2003 by Pinnacle Entertainment Group. Savage Worlds can be used with any genre or setting from four-color supers, to gritty sci-fi, to gothic horror, to high fantasy. If you're new to Savage Worlds, it's a flexible system that can transition from NARRATIVE "theatre of the mind" to detailed tactical combat with CRUNCH as you like!
Adventure Paths are in-depth stories for the Pathfinder RPG that tell an epic tale over a series of connected adventures. Players will see their characters grow in power from lowly beginnings until they become mighty heroes.
So why convert these Adventure Paths to Savage Worlds?
Simply put, because we love them! Pathfinder fits right into the types of worlds we love to play in, like the Weird Wild West of Deadlands, college horror and hijinks in East Texas University, the wild post-apocalyptic future of Rifts® for Savage Worlds, the brawling super heroes (and villains) of Necessary Evil, or any of the other settings we’re known for.
That was our proposition, and we feel honored our Paizo friends have trusted us to re-present their original work for our system. It’s truly an honor and a privilege, and one of the greatest projects we’ve ever worked on.
Carrion Crown is already written and playtested. Your support allows us to help boost the signal to other fans—by far the hardest challenge for a small company like ours. We deliver the first PDF a few weeks after the project funds. This means delivery of the main PDFs about a month after funding and the physical products about 10 months later depending on the printer and shipping, and barring unforeseen mishaps like world-wide shipping catastrophes!
Retailers
Retailers will have the opportunity to pre-order the products from this campaign directly at PEGinc.com to take advantage of the retailer-exclusive discounts and shipping rates as part of our Savage Worlds Retailer program! We will notify all of our program members when the pre-order period opens during this campaign! Retailers also get their rewards when backer orders go out, usually several weeks before they show up in the traditional distribution chain. Retailers should email [email protected] to get started.
Digital Rewards
We deliver PDF materials through the Pinnacle website and DriveThruRPG.com.
Physical Rewards and Shipping
After the campaign ends we'll open a pledge manager phase to collate the physical pledges and then collect shipping once the product is on its way from the printer. You can upgrade your pledge or include more add ons in your order while the pledge manager is open.
Shipping prices are changing rapidly in the current climate, and despite our best efforts global supply chains remain volatile. Given all that's going on in the world, providing an estimate of the rates now rather than closer to shipping is nothing more than a guess.
Our long-time friends at Studio 2 Publishing will handle all domestic shipping, and we worked hard to build relationships with partners around the world. Backers should see costs closer to local rates, and orders to the EU, UK, Canada, and Australia will be customs friendly.
Since we can't tell you what those rates will be yet, any backer who wishes can downgrade their pledge to the nearest digital option once the rates are established and we'll refund the difference. This also applies to any additional charges that are incurred due to tariffs. We've covered the changing tariffs up until now, and haven't had to use BackerKit's new functionality to collect those funds, but we can't guarantee that in the future. The same option to downgrade applies if that comes up.
