New DCC edition Old John Stuart's Mill copies are as good as rolling off the presses, as our saintly pals at Print Papa jumped right on the rework upon their return to the shop. I'm on the lookout for their print proof and will keep you all posted on next steps.
Speaking of things to be on the look out for, check out the teaser page for our upcoming module for D&D 5e and DCC, When the Stars Cried Despair. You will not want to miss this, and simply by following the page, you'll get a full-fledged adventure by yours truly, M.C. Funk, illustrated by Alexander Moore.
So follow it now, to get the free adventure on September 6, plus updates!
First, the D&D 5e conversion is going to be done by Chris Doyle. Yes, Goodman Games fans,that Chris Doyle, the author of the original Castle Whiterock and the genius behind countless D&D 5e titles.
Second, it has new mechanics that create Bonds and backstory for the characters. These aren't just fun and interesting roleplaying elements for starting characters, they have an influence on game mechanics and can change the outcome of the tale.
The last thing I'll say here - as there's tons more I could say about When the Stars Cried Despair, like the jaw-dropping Jim Pavelec cover art - is that it's epic. Yes, it's a starter adventure that can fit any conventional fantasy setting. And yes, it's an ideal way to kick off a Castle Whiterock campaign that ties in with Descent of the Ancient Fane.
But it's also a starter adventure at the end of the world. A high-stakes first level adventure, with the fate of the PCs' planet hanging in the balance, is one they'll not forget.
Plus, free stuff! A free single-night one-shot adventure, woven into the mythology ofDescent of the Ancient Faneand available next weekend in PDF only to those who follow!
Get on that! And we will stay on Print Papa, to ensure those perfect DCC edition copies of Old John Stuart's Mill are sent your way soon!
