I write this with a five-foot-tall, five-foot-wide stack of book boxes behind me, as this weekend will see the final packages packed, in preparation for next week's shipping binge. Old John Stuart's Mill is almost on the way to your post box!
Also on the way, four days from now on September 16, 2025, is the release of our free single-location adventure,The Bride of Baal. It'll be distributed as a free PDF to any who follow our November 2025 BackerKit campaign, When the Stars Cried Despair.
And here's a special treat for you all right now. Illustrator Alexander Moore, who contributed the map and other exhilarating elements to Old John Stuart's Mill, recorded his creation of a particularly arresting image from When the Stars Cried Despair. Narrating his process, influences and techniques, Alex's video of this shocking scene is yours to enjoy, below.
Its D&D 5e edition was converted from our original DCC version by Chris Doyle himself
It's a funnel/1st level adventure like few others, with corrupting magic flying wild and warping characters' destinies
It has a unique mechanic to determine Bonds and backstories between PCs, and to have them influence the game's rules and outcomes
That's all to say, When the Stars Cried Despair, is not to be missed! Follow it now, check out Alex's amazing video and get your free adventure, The Bride of Baal, to tide you over until Old John Stuart's Mill arrives!
As ever, thank you all for your outstanding support! I literally stand in the shadow of your gratitude, as this book box tower behind me is massive. You made that happen, and we are eternally grateful for that!
