This is one of our all-time favorite holidays, celebrated each year. It's an occasion for change and new surprises, and we've got three cool changes for you here to day:
First up, are you missing your Monthly Monster Hunt?
If so, it could be because many of you - almost 200 - grabbed their free copy of Conquest, but a little less than half did not sign up for marketing email when they did it. It's a checkbox at the bottom of all of our online store purchases.
You can also sign up for our email at the bottom of our homepage, shown below:
So, if you've missed one or both of the Monthly Monster Hunt series, #1: Tale of the True Tarasque or #2: Talos, Man of Bronze, the Original Iron Golem, sign up now! Use the homepage signup or grab Conquestif you've not already.
Next up, our new adventure path, the philosophy-focused Witch's Wyrd, launches next Tuesday, June 17, with a funnel adventure, Old John Stuart's Mill, and a 9AM PST launch party!
Author Archie Fields III discussing how he started introducing D&D to his philosophy class at the University of Calgary
Exploration of the use of gaming in the classroom to teach, through Archie's experience, much as he spoke about at GenCon 2024
The Witch Pleas focus on weaving education with gaming
Comparisons of the 5e version of Old John Stuart's Mill with the DCC version
Discussion of The Curse of Endless Hunger, the new spell in Old John Stuart's Mill, and how it can spawn legions of zombies - and worse undead!
So follow the project on BackerKit to receive the livestream link this weekend, and to back this funnel/1st level adventure for DCC and D&D 5e respectively, Old John Stuart's Mill!
As with many of our Witch Pleas titles, it's not just an adventure, it's a setting and a source for scholarship, with New Spells, New Magical Items, Rumors & Secrets, Curses, Philosophical Encounters and a Scholarly Essay on Philosophy in Fantasy RPGs!
Lastly, we have our printing updates. I'm still receiving quotes from printers, not because I'm shopping around, but because so many details of Campfire are custom, like the case and cards and quantity of Story Sheet booklets. All of the printers we're talking with say they can do it, but none have arrived back with a definite quote yet.
Thanks for joining us on this thrilling journey, Campfire fans. You've joined our team during a time of major transition - moving shop and moving from paperback booklets to a stainless steel set with waterproof cards. It's taken longer than we had hoped, but we appreciate your great energy, gratitude and patience.
Thanks for being the magic within Witch Pleas - and enjoy all the free adventures and new projects ahead!
As many of you reached out, a Digital Distribution was not sent through BackerKit. Once we learned of this, we fulfilled through DriveThruRPG.
If you backed Campfire at any level except for the $1 level, you should have received a complimentary digital copy through DriveThruRPG. If not, please reach out to let us know.
We apologize for the inconvenience. We were unaware of a 2-day review process and numerous other steps - like setting shipping weights for products we've not even gotten quotes from printers on yet - that BackerKit demands. Our experience has been with Kickstarter, which allows for immediate, pledge-segmented dispatch of emails and digital assets.
Again, if you have not received your digital copy through DriveThruRPG, and you pledged at any level above $1, please reach out to us.
Thank you very much for your support. We will, as ever, keep you posted on the project's progress toward printing as well.
Campfire is yours, in digital form! It's been distributed digitally through BackerKit just today.
The digital format includes:
The Core Rulbook
All 5 Starter Story Sheets
Vignette cards for each Starter Story
We can't wait to hear what you think of this rules-lite, any-story Intro RPG. Send us your comments at [email protected] or contact us on social media.
And stay tuned for more updates on the progress of the print edition, coming soon to a stainless steel case near you!
Get your campsites ready, Campfire backers - the digital release is coming next week!
Wojtek and Matt have been working tireless on the layout over the last two weeks, and only a few graphical edits remain. That means digital profiles will be set up this weekend and digital copies spread to you and the world!
We can hardly wait to get this simple rules system, ideal for almost every age and every story, anywhere, over to you. We're excited to hear of the stories you create, and about what you think of the starter stories:
Blood on the Snow
Carabon Creek
Death in Venice
Midnight Heist
White Raven
The next step will be to update our printers with the final page count and layout, collect quotes, and get printing. We hope to place the stainless steel cases in your hand by the end of Summer camping season!
Meanwhile, thank you all for support, the feedback and the enthusiasm for this awesome intro RPG!
We're back from vacation and polishing off layout. We aim to have a digital by two weeks from now!
