Greetings all, the Big Frog just poked me out of my usual stupor to point out a new Kickstarter that Frog God has just...kickstarted.

A new Kickstarter?!?! you say. Didn't you guys just finish one yesterday? Well, yes, thank you for asking, we did. Actually it's the fault of that KS that we're having this KS. Personally I blame 5e (Ooohhhh, edition-warring! Bring on the flames and trolls and flaming trolls!). No seriously, it's the other KS's fault, and it was a success.

See in that KS as Necromancer Games entered the world of 5e (with the blessing of all the Frogs-That-Be), the KS included a book of up to 18 adventures called Quests of Doom. It included conversions of the old Necromancer Games 3.0 classics Demons and Devils and Liches and Vampires (6 adventures altogether written by Bill, Casey Christofferson, and Clark Peterson) plus up to another 12 all new adventures. We got folks like Steve Winter, Ed Greenwood, Jim Ward, Casey Christofferson, Skip Williams, Michael Curtis, Matt Finch, Jim Collura, and some schlub named Bill Webb to write them. The KS was a success but 6 of the new adventures didn't get unlocked as stretch goals. The problem was that we went ahead and had all of the new adventures written with nothing to do with them.

Our problem becomes your good news, though. During the course of the KS we had sent a survey to all Froggie fans and asked if there was any interest in converting those old adventures along with the new adventures to PF and/or Swords & Wizardry. The answer was a resounding YES!!

So that brings us here. We're taking all 18 of the adventures and dishing them up in a mega-adventure book called Quests of Doom with versions for Pathfinder and Swords & Wizardry (yes, I know technically there are only 12 new adventures and 6 updates, but they're new to PF and S&W, gimme a break). We're still working out the logistics of getting those last six adventures to the new 5e fans, but that's not part of this PF and S&W KS.

That's where we are. I will be doing development on all the adventures to make sure that they fit seamlessly into our Lost Lands campaign setting, and all 18 will be a canon part of that setting.

So head on over to the Kickstarter and be the first* to Kickstart this Kickstarter in its Kickstarting!

*You will probably not actually be able to be the first.

Thanks for adding the extra pledge levels.

I am kind of surprised you guys did not limit the signed edition.

Need some add-on prices to add non signed version of the Hardcover books so I don't have to use my precious signed editions....

Pathfinder Creative Director, Frog God Games

And that

Publisher, Frog God Games

Either add $55/book or add on during backerkit later

Is this new? Have I missed this before? I love your Risks and Challenges!!!

Quests of Doom 'Risks and Challenges' wrote:


Less likely risks include but are not necessarily limited to:

(1) one or more asteroid(s) making violent contact with the planetary crust, and causing a dust cloud blanketing out the sun;

(2) a direct meteor strike on a Kickstarter-related production facility, including but not limited to computers, power stations required therefor, alien overlords thereof, and other potential but unknown un-, sub-, or supernatural forces required for the operation of Kickstarter, Amazon, their controlling entities, the controlling entities, thereof, and ultimately the Illuminati or the Knights Templar, as applicable;

(3) invasions or incursions in force by cannibalistic humanoids and/or morlocks traveling in time, leading to disruptions in urban transportation, offloading, and/or dispatching operations;

4) printing operations initially tasked to the Kickstarter’s fulfillment being diverted to production of bodice-ripping romance novels, teen vampire romances, or refrigerator user manuals;

(5) various individuals up and down the production chain being struck individually, sequentially, severally, or simultaneously by train(s) and/or other such devices;

(6) no members of the company have admitted to being in a tontine, so there’s that;

(7) disappearance in Amazon rainforests by employees, subcontractors, or freelancers of Wizards of the Coast LLC, whether or not related to those rumors concerning dinosaur rodeos and actual owlbear experiments;

(8) Ebola goes aerosol: kiss it all goodbye, people;

(9) rust monsters loose in the metal;

(10) tectonic shifts;

(11) Greenwood captured by fans for extended bacchanal;

(12) time-travel paradoxes instigated by third parties; (

(13) the wrong butterfly flaps its wings in the wrong damn place

What level are the adventures? Are they tied together in any way or are they just standalone?


Jumped in as backer number 70!

Publisher, Frog God Games

Adventures vary and are sandbox--not linked. They will be Lost Lands edited though. Levels vary

Pathfinder Creative Director, Frog God Games

For the record, I am a member of a tontine. (Only one more to go...)

Just as an FYI for later on this fall, our next book release will be Cults of the Sundered Kingdoms which include not only a gazetteer of a good portion of the Sinnar Coast region (the poster map with the prior Barakus KS) but also an AP for levels 4-13.

It'll include updates of the three classic Necro adventures Morrick Mansion, Aberrations, and Crystal Skull (a less-known gem) as well as the addition of the three new adventures Beasts Among Us, Shades of Yellow, and Vengeance in the Hollow Hills. The gazetteer will feature the regions/kingdoms/areas that make up the Sundered Kingdoms and consist of:
The Matagost Peninsula
Ramthion Island
The Duchy of Southvale
Old Burgundia
Lowport
The District of Sunderland
Kildren Point
The Wildlands
The Giantlands

Basically everything south of Endhome and north of Hawkmoon (and east of the Trader's Road).

It will also include a chapter detailing the 13 demonic cults that have great influence in the entire area.

But that is a another story...


Aberrations, one of my favorite modules to torment my players! Now where is that gold coin?

Why do I picture you in black robes with your face morphing into a version of Emperor Palpatine when you laugh?

Layout and Design, Frog God Games

Because that's actually what happens.

Publisher, Frog God Games

Yup--I wear green robes (or Hawaiian shirts)

Pathfinder Creative Director, Frog God Games

The facing morphing is not on purpose. That's actually Sam Jackson's fault (stupid purple lightsaber...)

Yeah! I backed the 5e KS and was kind of bummed when I heard the PF KS would have more adventures. I want those extras somehow. Thanks for considering those of us in this situation.

We'll get them out somehow. We won't just sit on the 5e versions. Thanks for backing!


So out of curiosity, will the Hawkmoon adventures and area be out any time soon? And yes I pledged, on this one not the other one!

We've got some stuff before it to do, but it's tentatively being looked at to start development for late 2015/early 2016. It's going to take some work both because it's a lot of material (What Evil Lurks, Lamentation of Thieves, Bonegarden, Elemental Moon, and "Them Bones" from Raise the Dead, plus, honestly, a lot of the stuff from Dead Man's Chest ties directly to it) and because its going to be a strong tie-in the Razor Coast, so there's going to be a/some bridging adventure(s). We'll have to do some sorting and figuring, plus see what interest if any Lance has on revisiting his earlier material, so it'll be awhile yet.

I wish this one was first. I have 2 FGG books, full of random encounters alongside setting-size megadungeons. Both however tease me with references to a larger setting I can SEE in glorious full color (the Sinnar Coast map from Barakus) but I know NOTHING about.

Why is the land lost? What are these districts/provinces/counties of? Who are the traders on the Way named for them and which king gets their own road? I could of course make it all up, and indeed I've been puttering with ideas for just that. But then I see this book is on the way and a full setting book to follow so I wait and bide my time.

But the Frog God is cruel. He taunts me with MORE adventures for now; more ways to distract myself and kill time until the product I want comes. Vile deity; your schemes vex me so. I am vexed.

Also I still haven't had the conversation with the wife about pledging at the signed copy level, so there's that...

Pathfinder Creative Director, Frog God Games

Yeah, that's kinda' how we roll...vexing. But whadaya gonna do about it, am I right? Evil demon frogs gotta be evil demon frogs. ;-)

You can do what I am doing, read all the excellent adventures, then put them on the bookshelf and wait years for the campaign guide... ;)

Once in a while you pull one out and taunt your players with it...

Quick questions. How many of the adventures will be intro ones for 1st level PCs? Any chance of VTT maps for Quest of Doom? Maybe as a stretch goal. I play 90% of my games online these days and having full color VTT maps are huge time-saving.

I am in on the kickstarter of course... I did the 5e one but I would much rather have Pathfinder and S&W.

Maybe this was clarified elsewhere (and I missed it), but will the adventures/encounters be 'keyed' to certain locations in the Lost Lands?

Publisher, Frog God Games

Yes--they will, but as modules are "modular", they can be moved about to suit the GM as desired


Thanks Bill!
(and I just saw a similar bit of discussion over in the 'comments' section of the KS). Any chance of getting some add-ons via BackerKit once this KS is completed?

Pathfinder Creative Director, Frog God Games

Finished reviewing Ed Greenwood's adventure for Giants and Dragons over the weekend. I won't spoil it by telling you what it's about (hint: there are lots of smurfs), but it was very reminiscent to me of the early FR type of encounters. It particularly reminded me of the feel of the side encounters that were included in the original Undermountain boxed set (i.e. the encounters that took place outside Undermountain).

Anyway, in regards to some folks asking for more information about where the various adventures will be located in the Lost Lands, I thought I'd start out with this one.

"Emeralds of Highfang" takes place in the Forlorn Mountains. For those of you familiar with some old Necromancer products and/or our recent Sinnar Coast Region map that was released with Barakus, you'll recognize the Forlorn Mountains as being the mountain range north of the Domain of Hawkmoon and west of the Duchy of Southvale. Of note, the Forlorn Mountains are known for their central region that is referred to as The Giantlands..not that that would have anything to do with THIS adventure or anything... :-)

Bill, I appreciate that you and the gang at FGG are offering the 6 missing mods for the 5e KS (I added it).

I wish this would be considered for every and all FGG/Necro games kickstarters in the future.

So for example - a separate booklet with extra encounters/environs that were never written for Sword of Air that can be purchased as a softback (or hardback if enough is written). Hell, even a slim module booklet for sale would be nice.

It would be nice if these stretch goals are met and everyone just gets a better package at close, but I would like you to consider content stretch goals as separate purchase options down the line after a KS closes - as you did with the missing 6 mods for Quests of Doom (5e).

Layout and Design, Frog God Games

The only problem I would have with that would be that it would add more workload to come up with extra stuff. Bill wrote down Sword of Air for the first time this year, so there's nothing extra. :)

I understand what you mean, but doing that would require us to over-write everything. We don't really leave stuff on the cutting room floor and would rather focus our efforts in getting more material out to you guys.

Quests of Doom was a really special case.

Pathfinder Creative Director, Frog God Games

What Chuck said. We had already commissioned the six additional adventures and wanted to produce them. If a stretch goal isn't reached and hasn't been written, we probably will not generally go ahead and produce it, because it becomes a financial risk at that point. But in this case we had to go ahead and get all of them done before all the writers got busy on other projects, so we had the stuff done and didn't want it to go to waste.

We're glad you added it and like that we did that. We want to get as much as we can into the hands of our fans. The more you guys buy, the more new stuff we can do. From just trying to get Slumbering Tsar into print when we started out initially, we've actually managed to cobble together a considerable amount of a game world, and we aim to keep going with it as long as you guys are interested in Lost Lands products. Thanks! :-)

We are less than 400 away from funding!


Speaking of Frog God adventures, I am reading Dunes of Desolation right now and I have finished the adventures 'Child's Play' and 'King of the Beasts' and, no shocker, they are both amazing. I've not gotten to the third adventure yet but I loved the other two provided!

Can't wait to get 18 new adventures from FGG.

Pathfinder Creative Director, Frog God Games

Glad you're liking them, Gerald. The Dunes adventures are all courtesy of Tom Knauss and the development work of John Ling. We're in the final development stages on his next environments book for a Plains environment called Fields of Blood. And it's got another trio of Tom Knauss classics in it. As you can probably tell, at Frog God we love adventures. :-)

Glad to hear that you're enjoying them. Like Greg said, there are three more in the next book, and I'm most of the way through the first adventure for the book that follows.

As Bo Jackson used to say, FGG knows adventures.
