I had a look last night. I've purchased quite a few systems on Foundry now (and on Roll20 before that...) and this is by far the best VTT implementation I've seen. It sets the bar extremely high. I can't wait to dig in deeper. Thanks for all the hard work from everyone involved, it shows.

Where do I access the PDF? Under the 'My Downloads' page there's just an item with the FoundryVTT serial key, but there's no link or item for the PDF download.

Same issue here, no PDF link yet. Does it just take a bit?


No love for tall people...


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Looking forward to this. I wonder why we have a new author on this one?

Probably not to 5E--we did that for PFRPG in Stoneheart Valley

That's too bad, I was hopeful after seeing The Wizard's Amulet for 5E that we would see the rest of Stoneheart Valley.


And Alu-Demon.

I do remember a few monsters from WotC that were very specific race/evil outsider combinations that, while technically Tieflings, had specific names. (Someone help me out here?)

The Cambion was from AD&D I believe, off of the top of my head.


Just got my copy of Dirty Tricks. At 80 pages, (even in the neat digest size) this is going to keep my busy reading for a bit. Might I also add, FGG knows how to pack and ship books so that they get to you in perfect condition.

I'm particularly keen for the Northlands Saga and the Lost Lands Campaign Setting (is it too early to put in a request for a boxed set?)

FGG should make a separate KS just for the people who want the Boxes because they say it costs to much to make. May be a separate "FGG Swag Kick Starter" to make all of us put our money where our mouth is. They could put in poster maps and the rest of that type thing.


Bill Webb wrote:
Correct--if we add it to the kickstarter-Amazon takes 8%

I like to add things in the survey, after the KS has ended. Helps reduce the "sticker shock" of my high pledges to the non-gamers in the family. I also like to get us to those stretch goals as well. So, to be clear, what cant I add after the end? Players Guide, Maps, map PDF's, Hero Lab?


Bill Webb wrote:
I emailed d20 Pro to see if they had the resources to make the virtual maps.

Great news. FGG is the reason I picked up Hero Lab and D20Pro in the first place.


The original 3.5 version suggests only giving 1/2 XP rewards in the book so that the players do not out level the adventure. How does this look to be working out in the Pathfinder and S&W versions?

I'm in. Any chance of those maps being color and usable in a VTT? Maybe stretch goal?

VTT maps would be great.

ps--delivery date is VERY high probability.

Wow, just noticed this should come in a month before SoA. Nice.


Got in at #33, Same as my killer DM #33 from RA reloaded... I take it as a good omen (and as a bad omen for my players). Herald of the Lost Lands, Woohoo!

Love the video!!!!!

One thing I would suggest is a tier ($80?) for those that want non-leather hardcovers in both Swords & Wizardry and Pathfinder versions.

I just asked the same question on the KS page. Thanks for the preview.

Looks like they did it for $75 dollars - Herald of the Lost Lands (US): both game versions Hardcover + PDFs for both versions....

..and it also looks like we may need to fight for this one boys, only 40 slots available.

Check your initiative modifiers.

What time does this go live again?

It shows 200 now.

Thanks to FGG for posting the preview and listening to feedback. I'm supporting this one in both systems again.

Chaos Monkey - That's a link to this very same page. :)

Looks like my link skills suck. Try a cut and paste I guess. Its a d20pro forum.

Anyone remember if there was any fan made maps for these adventures? Preferably something that can be used for a VTT.

I don't think I've seen him post here in a bit, but it looks like Bigkilla post some home made maps a long time ago here:

Not sure if anyone here is in contact with him, but I would love to see His versions.

Boxes are very tough--they just don't ship well, and don't stand up over time. We specifically went to the stitch bound hardcovers (at great expense) so that your books would last, well, longer than most of us will be alive.

Bill

Right, back to my corner then.

Steve, yes. Last gasp, yes. Both 2015

Was that a "yes" on a boxed set for the Lost Lands setting? Humm, I guess I'm going to have to find something else to bother Tsathogga about...


Was very happy to receive mine today. Looking forward to reading Level 7B tonight. I was bummed to read that my KILLER DM #0034 was not matched because the new 034 "was already taken". Oh well, I think I got #404. The cross section poster is huge (*tips hat to Damien the Bloodfeaster). And the big book... pure quality.

Many Thanks to the Frogs!


Waiting for your survey is like waiting to get your wish list to Santa. Just instead of Santa, we have Demon Lords.

I'm planning on paying cash through Amazon.com gift certificates rather than hitting my credit card up big time (and the ensuing stern glances from the wife).

You Sir, are a genius. Thank you for the great idea. There is hope to up my pledge to $250 still.

I'd very much like to second that. The reprints of "classics" is great, but I'd also be very keen to see lots of new stuff and a campaign setting would be fantastic.

(Particularly if it's for Swords and Wizardry).

Campaign Setting is next on my "to-do" list after Sword of Air. And it'll be for PF and S&W both (like almost all of our products). And, heck yeah, a full-color poster map!

More information on that after the North Texas RPG Con (June 7-10) where FGG will be making a MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT.

NICE! I cant wait to get my hands on that. Wizard's Amulet, Freya, Abysthor and Demons & Devils (and RA, duh) were my favorites.

And I was thinking Sword of Air would be major announcement...

Sword of Air is a major announcement, but not THE major announcement.

...Waiting patiently for the major announcement for those who cant make it to Texas...

Fantastic. :)

Is there any information anywhere about the sword of air? I haven't heard of that before.

Here is an old piece of info from the Necomancer Games site:

The Necromancer Games module The Quest for the Sword of Air is set in a hidden temple dedicated to Hecate. She resides in a floating castle in the Nine Hells.

I hope you guys will have some big @ss T shirts!!! I aint no lil guy.

No joke - I'm 6'9" tall, and am just big in general. I typically wear a 4XLT, or a 5XLT if they run small (I don't like snug-fitting t-shirts).

You going to be able to get them in this size? :)

And I thought I was a big gamer at 6'4" 300lbs... I would also like to hear about sizes. 3XL here, as long as they are not running small. My Necromancer Games shirt is a tad short for my liking.
We should be able to get all sizes. We are looking into the "style" of the shirts this month and will know more soon.

Thanks!

lol; Brian..like I told Mach--I will Try. If I screw up--you will have to forgive me. I will ask that question on the end survey that kickstarter has us send out.

I won't offer to match any number under 50 though--those are going to the heavy hitters ($500+)...well, and me (#1):)

Sooo... and chance of matching my Killer Dm #0034 if Im at the $100 or $250 levels??

Additional content?

How about a Pathfinder version of Lost Tomb of Abysthor, since they are linked by gates and all....

;)

Ohh, that would be good.

I already emailed this but, can I combine shipping for RAR with my Tsar? How much more stuff can I fit in there...? ;-) no seriously

lol; not much--maybe acouple modules. 2 Tsars "just" fit. RA will be slightly smaller--but not when we add bonus items. Probably the $100-$250 levels will be one box alone. Assuming shirts/minis etc. Two books per box will be the max.

One book is defined as a a Tsar, RA or a Tome plus a few modules.

Humm, so adding a copy of The Black Monastery to a $250 pledge will most likely not fit?
