From the kald Northlands to this pit of squalor...

Drawn by men both sweet and sour...

YES! Please send me a message with a link to the kickstarter when it airs, Mr.Pett! I made a mini-campaign out of the Styes adventures back in 3.X, which culminated in Tharizdun partially manifesting and driving all the PCs mad.

After the campaign ended, one PC plucked out his eyes and ate them to try and stop his mad hallucinations, another PC went homocidally insane and died after terrorizing the Styes like a familiar villain, and the last surviving member lived out the rest of his days in near-catatonia on his estate miles away, haunted by the darkness he saw in the Styes.

The other PCs were Kraken tentacle-pulp and eviscerated remains by the campaign's end.

All in all, it was a successful campaign! :)

Looks as if The Herald Frog is not needed. Oh well there will be other times when he is.

Let loose the Hounds of Madness!

[Anguish]

I just thought of the most frightening thing of all...

What if - help us all - there is no Kickstarter? What if there is no Blight and this is all a sadistic torture?

I need to adjust my meds. Can't cope.

Quick Update:

We hit the button on the Blight KS page earlier this morning. It is now in the hands of the Kickstarter approval process to be launched. Supposedly this can take up to three days. In our experience with KS in the past, this has taken about 10 minutes. Apparently we're falling somewhere in between. But what that means is that it can appear at any moment. So if you see it, start a thread here with a link. I'm on a short lunch break but will be in clinic the rest of the afternoon, Bill is at a game convention, and Matt is out Matting like a Matt (I don't actually know what Matt is doing). I'm just saying, we may not be the first to see it, so be sure and let the cat out of the bag if you do.

[Richard Pett]

...yes, time for your meds Greg, come back now. M'naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrr!

I couldn't agree more Divinitus, just your normal every day, and a common event in the Blight. You clearly have a feel for the place already...

Just one quick point - you're not a local come out of the setting to play are you?

M'narrrrrrrr!

I promise I haven't been reefing on F5 all day.

[Richard Pett]

Enormous and serious and slightly deranged thanks to you lovely people who have supported this project so far and given up your time to share your thoughts.

You are very fine fellows one and all.

Hoorah!

[Adam Daigle]

Best of luck on your Kickstarter, Rich. I'm sure everything will go swimmingly.

[Gerald]

Oooooo, I'm backer #13! How deliciously spooky!

[silverhair2008]

By some miraculous fault I managed to get Backer #2.

[mach1.9pants]

Nine hundred pages of madness and terror, what have I signed up for?

I love you Daigle, and thank you to the kind folks at Paizo who changed my name from Prtt - although it has a nice fez wearing edge - huzzah!

I wanted it to be you Gerald, as that gets a special gift...

You surely don't think you'll just be getting a book, do you, ya'll get a special extra too for being so supportive...

Ooo, I'm so sorry Silverhair, number 2 has particular special prize.....

[Black Dow]

Duly pledged.

What cost for the sanity of men I can but muse...

You have nothing to worry about Black Dow. Now open the door...

My pledge has been scribed in the Black Book with a peculiar red ink.

Hmm.. Rolled a 4 to escape..

[Mark Sweetman]

Been there, backed the heck out of it.

[The Herald Frog]

HMMM, an adventurer tastes like chicken... er flies.

[justmebd]

I'm backer #106.

Curse my need to pay bills and be at work when this launched!!!

[Nomad Sage]

I think that just about sums it up perfectly.

[Chuck Wright]

Everyone is purchasing 10 copies each, yes?

[Richard Pett]

Bloody GMT. Morning playmates, and thank you very kindly for your support.

Alas, justmebd and Nomad Sage, those are the very backer numbers that come with a small forfeit. So just say your goodbyes, we'll be round later, you won't need to bring anything of your own, we have everything you'll need...

Huzzah Mark, huzzah!

I'll do it! I don't need to eat - it's all just made up mumbo-jumbo by the agriculture industry to get me to buy food anyway!

It looks fantastic, Richard. The very best of luck to you on it. One of the many awesome things about Frog God Games is how they appear to help save these gigantic and unique creative works from fading away out of publication.

I'm focusing on 5e at the moment but I will definitely tell all my Pathfinder friends about the kickstarter when it kicks off.

Thank you kindly Qu0zl, please do, and if the Blight makes a 5e edition, hopefully it'll be useful to you too.

Rich

What are the odds it will make 5th Ed?

Edit - scratch that. Just seen your latest update. Man. I have to buy it twice now...

[Helaman]

Damn your skill at writing Pett!

I just went in on the $90 pledge for two rule system PDFs!

Backer 284

- What will this retail for over at FGGs after the KS campaign?

[Bryan]

Wow, this really looks good. I've never backed a kickstarter before, until now. Can't wait!

Oh dear,

Helaman, that's not a good number to be. Lock your doors and don't answer them, if all goes well, she'll be gone by dawn.
