So, I'll just leave this link here as a public service announcement.
Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with TPK Games, nor am I getting any kickbacks or freebies for sharing this (at least, none that I'm aware of), IANAL, etc etc etc.
EDIT: some funky wierdness with my link-fu.

Ha ha, you beat us to the punch! Yes, it's true. We have a new wicked adventure in the works, featuring the talents of artists such as Jacob Blackmon, Daniel Kamarudin, Terry Pavlet and Jeff Easley. Yes, THAT Jeff Easley...
The Fen of the Five-Fold Maw is an 80+ page action adventure for 7th level characters told in the style of early RPG adventures which we are well-known for. It's an old-school style romp using the Pathfinder rules to their fullest to make a very challenging and fun swamp-themed adventure.
The PCs will work to save the small village of Wyverglynn from defeat at the hands of a vicious tribe of lizardmen living in the Sorrowfen Swamp. These fanatical lizardmen venerate a dreadful hydra known as the Five-Fold Maw, a wicked creature that lives within the depths of the swamp.
The PCs will travel across roads of giant lily pads built upon the water, brave the hazards of the swamp itself, battle ferocious lizardmen and other dangerous denizens of the swamps, search for lost magics and much more in this dangerous and memorable TPK Games adventure.
As part of the thrilling conclusion to the Fen, you'll even get to use a custom deck of swamp-themed chase cards that are included with the adventure!
Another great reason to back this is that by pledging for the adventure, you'll get up to 10 additional PDFs from some other great Pathfinder-compatible publishers. Definitely check it out here, this is a no-brainer for the sheer amount of PDFs alone!

As of today, we'll be giving away Hero Lab files for each and every villain and NPC in the adventure.
That's a nice start, but there's a ton more great things coming, and a TON OF FREE PDFs to award as the pledges come rolling in. Be part of this awesome adventure!
If you were a fan of the 5-star Bleeding Hollow adventure, you won't want to miss this.

A question, and a bit of a critique. I wanted to back this adventure, but since it's a month I'm thin with money, I went calculating, and I'm finding this adventure too expensive. For PDF only it costs 25$. Your own Bleeding Hollow is half that. And it has 50(!) pages more. Is it the art? Or the Rawr 2 (which I'm not interested in)? Print version is also too expensive. I can get, for example, Kobold Press' Courts of the Shadow Fey in print for 25$ (+7-8$ shipping to Croatia) which is around 130 pages like Bleeding Hollow. Is it printed Rawr again?
Thing is, I'm really interested in this adventure (and getting it and Bleeding Hollow in print), but with such prices (which are probably for add-ons I don't want), I will skip this.

I completely understand. It probably isn't communicated well enough that there are also chase cards (and encounter cards) for the adventure. So the PDF backers are getting 3 core PDFs from us, and up to 10 bonus PDFs as we unlock the stretch goals. I understand your criticism though, and it's valid. We'll definitely have a simpler and less expensive pricing strategy on our next project. Unfortunately, we can't adjust the pricing after launch. Have a great day and thanks for the feedback.
On a side note, with all the extras, you are investing in a great adventure.

Just to second Necromental's point - I have three of your adventures so went to the Kickstarter keen to support but was put off by the price point with automatic inclusion of an already published book I don't want.
I just want to say that I've come to an agreement with TPK and backed the Kickstarter. I got the Fen and Bleeding Hollow in print, and removed the Rawr book completely.

Wow, that's really cool. I wish everyone would take the time to do something like that!
I've backed plenty of KS's where I ended up with a small horde of PDF's I'd already purchased, or had absolutely no use for.Bravo, TPK !!

I'm a bit confused. The description mentions that you are trying a new approach & we will be getting coupons for 50% off the print version, but the print book backer level makes it sound like you get the book with it. So is the 50% coupon only for people who buy at under the print book level, is it for Print book level or are you not doing the coupons?
| Changing Man |
Yes, by all means feel free to message me on kickstarter and swap out the secondary book.
I have to confess I'm torn. While I'm certain the Rawr! book is an excellent read, I'm not sure just how often we'd actually use it, and if an adventure module might not be the better way to go. Decisions, decisions...
| Silver Griffin |
Originally they were doing the coupon deal, but enough people asked for a print version that they added in levels to get the print version directly through the KS itself.
It was in one of the updates; I reckon the start page just didn't get updated.
Does that make sense?
Thanks Changing Man I missed that. I'm a lot more comfortable putting my money in once I know the exact number it will cost. Since I just got word I have a job starting on Monday I will sign up right now.

This is ending soon, and we'd really like any and all support possible to help get our backers all of the great PDFs unlocked as stretch goals. Check it out, pledge if you can, or even help share the link.
Ending on kickstarter soon!
