The add ons are drafted already. I know we needed to be clearer this time. Please fo the survey questions at the end of the kickstarter. We will do better nextvtime I think.
Hey, Bill. I was a little unclear there - I didn't mean that FGG were unclear about what's going on. I meant that I wish Kickstarter would update their systems to accommodate the way things have evolved.
Added those modules, help to tick it towards funding!
They seem to be really popular; a lot of money came in with (relatively) few new backers, so a lot of people must have increased their initial pledge amounts. I like module-sized books, myself.
Just so you guys know, the New Monsters chapter for the S&W version will have more monsters in it than the PF version.
For the add-on "A Long Winter's Night" modules, what would their approximate total page count be for all 6 of them combined?
If you purchase the paper version ($60 softcover), do you also get the pdf version of the modules? or does that cost extra?
Frog God Games always include the PDF with the hardcopy. The $60 will cover both electronic and paper versions.
RIBBIT!
Will there be a bestiary in Northlands? If so how many new monsters? Will they be illustrated?The Bestiary chapter in the Northlands has 20 new monsters in it. I believe each of them has an illustration. Of the 20 I think only one is a repeat. The Northlands aurochs appeared in TOH4, but I felt like it needed to be included in this book as well since it was originally written for this setting.
In addition, to these official new monsters there are a couple new variants of other monsters. I'm thinking specifically of two that I statted out today. They do not get their own entry in the bestiary chapter, but for all practical purposes are new monsters unto themselves. They are both variant builds on the zombie horde that appeared in TOH4 (which is in itself a variant build on the megaswarms I introduced in Slumbering Tsar). Anyway, these two are a mob of human rioters (I know that something like that has been done before, but we've done it again) and a horde of fetch. Both have new special abilities that are completely unique to them. So if you count these two, then there are 22 new monsters in the book. At least that's all that I can think of right now.
I'll also tell you that this book makes extensive use of the four PF Bestiaries as well as TOHC and TOH4. Every TOH monster used in the adventures has its full stat block included and, of course, all of the PF Bestiary monster stat blocks are available online for free. But I just wanted to let everyone know that we pulled out all the stops in getting the perfect monsters into what we wanted for these adventures and yet you do NOT have to buy any other books to play these adventures.
While I happen to have ALL of the bestiaries, TOH included I think this is a great feature and applaud Frog God Games for it.
Hopefully we'll get a nice, big boost at the end!
C'mon 5 million!
AMEN!
I would participate in the kickstarter but I am not well liked at FGG and I am sure they would rather have me not participate. I do hope this is funded at least. It looks like a good book.

I can honestly say that the subject has never come up in our meetings.

"How can we please Dave with this product?"
Don't forget to add Silverhair into that conversation, DaveMage.

Sure is a cheerful color. Guess I’ll have to get used to it.
Most likely lose it again, anyway.

For the last time, Silverhair, there won't be any Gnome Jell-O Wrestling modules!
Darnit!
Alright how about female Dwarf Mud Wrestling modules?
Less than $3000 to raise in 4 days to reach funding.
Given the high amount in the last spurts, I think we can do it!
...Perhaps a reminder for A Long Winter's Night would be in order, given that it's an unlocked add-on?
Here is from the KS itself.

Each single module is $12 print/ $5 PDF.

Indeed - though a message to existing backers, via update, might be more effective at this point in time. ^^
We are still looking for the new backers. Posting here gets to everyone current and new.
It's worth mentioning that the 48-hour reminders have yet to be sent to those who asked for a reminder, so things are looking good. :)
Just added the Players' Guide and map to my pledge. We are less than $2000 away from reaching the goal. Keep spreading the word.

Posted KS-update (and why I want Northlands Saga) on my HP.
Also reviewed Quests of Doom (will post that here and elsewhere and will finish Sword of Air's review before the KS is done. (Though that'll be a close call...)
Very tempted to through down some money on this. The State of Alaska is very good to me this year.
Is the map a different one than either of the last couple of Kickstarters have included? I've gotten all of the different ones, so I'm wondering if I need to pick this one up, too.

Err... throw. I meant throw. :)
I blame insufficient coffee.
