Project Update: 📖 New Print+PDF Add-Ons Available and 5e AP with Actual Philosophers Tomorrow! 📖
Another exciting week for our Old John Stuart's Mill crowdfunding campaign comes to a close with more exciting news:
Print Book + PDF add-ons are available!
Due to popular demand, you can now add on books - and the PDF - to your bundle or existing print book pledge. These Add Ons are available to any who pledged at a level involving a print book, including our bundles and our seminar level.
Thank you all for the extraordinary enthusiasm!
We're also about to create something we feel to be especially cool, an actual play recording of Old John Stuart's Mill D&D 5e, with actual philosophy professors, scholars and students as the adventure party, run by its author, Archie Fields III!
This recording takes place tomorrow, June 28, at 11AM PST. We'll share it with you, our backers, and with the wide world of social media as soon as it's done. Catch it on our Witch Pleas Publishing YouTube channel and across our social channels. Expect a unique experience to share on Sunday!
We're inspired by how each and every one of you have turned this project into a phenomenon, spreading the word about philosophical education uniting with gaming. It's been an honor. Thank you for every cent, every share and every message you send to friends.
Will there be an everything option that truly includes everything? There's not an option to add the 5e Book+PDF to the Everything pledge. I could add the Roll20, but not the books. Thanks! Looking forward to these adventures!

Wow. What an amazing week! We're so grateful to you all, each and every one of you, for the astonishing support you've shown.
Old John Stuart's Mill is funded, and has been within 36 hours of the launch. What remains, is getting the word out and celebrating this unique intersection of philosophy and roleplaying. So here's what's next!
Old John Stuart's Mill is funded, and has been within 36 hours of the launch. What remains, is getting the word out and celebrating this unique intersection of philosophy and roleplaying. So here's what's next!
- Polls to shape the future of The Witch's Wyrd! We'll release our first later this evening, focusing on what additional content you want most in the future modules.
- An All-Philosopher Actual Play! Organized and run by by Archie Fields III, this actual play of the D&D 5e version features a cast of philosophy professors, scholars and students, coming next week to YouTube.
- Art Updates! We take huge pride in our artists, and are thrilled whenever they share their sketches and final pieces. Below is a starting sketch by Alexander Moore, of an encounter from within the actual mill of Old John Stuart's Mill, where ambush lurks in every dark corner.
More is on the way! We'll keep you updated about the actual play, the poll, and the art updates from Stefan Poag, Alexander Moore and Berly Brumble.
In the meantime, we welcome all your feedback and are so grateful for your support!
Hi, how will the shipping be handled? I know Campfire was prohibitively expensive, and I had to abandon the idea of backing it; the shipping costs to the EU were just insane. Now this is a paper booklet and a folded map, so it might be more feasible, but I haven't found even estimates anywhere.
