Glad to have you aboard! We are closing in on the halfway mark to the first goal and I just posted a status update for all of the supporters with a good look at Valtirus, the wizard of the group!

I'm in!
Can't wait to see how this turns out.
Very interesting!
Will be going on live with the folks at the Know Direction podcast here at 5:30pm PST (in just 20 minutes). Feel free to drop in and here me talk all about the campaign!

Great interview with Know Direction!
In the interview you mentioned that the characters might not start at the same level. Is there going to be some sort of incentive to play the lower level characters mechanically (beyond Class selection)?

Absolutely!
The characters might be of a slightly different level, but they will be balanced with each other.
And I hope folks enjoyed the podcast. It was a blast to do. If you missed it, it's on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gwgYO7VUFU
That is great to hear! Both as a potential player, but most likely a GM trying my best to get all of my players playing these great sounding PCs.
Most adventures are designed with 4 players in mind, however you are building an adventure with the assumption there will be 6 PCs.
(1) Will many of the encounters be designed to be more difficult than a typical adventure due to there being 6 PCs?
(2) If you have only 4 players, will you have advice to GMs out to tone things down to to make that accommodation?

It is my plan that the adventure will assume 6 PCs, and be balanced with that assumption.
It will also, of course, include notes on how to adjust it for fewer PCs.

Late last night we hit our first goal for the Edge of Eventide fundraising campaign on Patreon! This first goal ensures that the campaign will go forward and the writing is already underway!
Look for character briefs and a story brief for GMs in the coming days!
Story brief has been posted for backers at the GM level and above, giving them a look at the backstory and a blurb for the first adventure.
Meanwhile, backers at the Eventide Lord level (EL) have gotten a look at my process for creating the narrative and a deeper synopsis of the first couple adventures.
If you are a supporter, make sure to check the posts tab frequently!
Very excited about this! Saw your interview on Know Direction and was hooked by the concept. I'll be donating and will make a video of it for my Youtube channel as well. Anything to help get this awesome project in my hands!
Thanks for all the great work you do!

Yeah, I am thinking about making another video that distills down some of the points I made in that interview, as they really help to get across what I am trying to do with this campaign.
In any case, welcome aboard and thanks for your support!
So, I've been asking this on a few sites, but just realizes I forgot to post this here...
So, I am trying to source as much data as I can for the Edge of Eventide campaign and its characters, and I don't want to get caught in the trap of only listening to sources that are already sold on a concept. To that end, I thought I would as a few questions of the crowd here to make sure I've got my bases covered.
So, the campaign that I am developing comes with the characters provided, each one with a backstory, personality, secrets, and goals. I am currently trying to work out what I should include in each character dossier that will be given to the players. So far, I have the following:
Stat Block
Illustration
History
Family
Personality
Relationships (with the other PCs)
Secrets and Goals
New Rules
So.. here is the question. Is that too much? Not enough? Is there anything I am obviously missing? I realize that playing a pregenerated character is not everyone's cup of tea, but assuming that you were playing, is that enough?

Maybe this falls under "statblock" , but how about a small 'tactics' section that could give a novice player some ideas on how to run the character mechanically?
Since an 8th level statblock could be a lot to swallow for a new-ish player.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Good idea! I will be sure to include some basic combat tactics for each PC.
I agree with Grumpus on the tactics, perhaps even with a few suggestions for how they might change based on relationships. I remember way back in Hook Mountain Massacre there was something like that.
The Jakardos of the Black-Arrow's had in his tactics that he was near suicidal after the fall of his keep. However if he mended things with Shalelu he changed his tactics, fighting to defend her instead.
It occurs to me that might be taking the choice out of the hands of the players... either way I thought it was a nice touch when I saw it.
I posted a video for this project on my Youtube channel Find the Path. We don't have too many followers so far, but hopefully it will help the project. Our tech guy made an awesome 3D model of your logo for the opening. If you'd be interested in a copy to use for your own projects Jason just let me know where I can send it!
Thank you Valcrist! That was a good summary of my campaign and I have shared it on social media. I like the 3D model, but it is a bit off from the actual symbol (which you can see unobstructed on the banner of my facebook page).
Thanks for helping to share my project!

Ah, so it is. I'll see if my tech friend can fix that up, and thanks for the share! Hope it helps the project.
A lot of great developments on the project in the last week. Check out the first draft of the map of Aubenglade, the location of the first adventure in the arc!
Supporters also got a look at some of the finished character art!
Today the first piece of full color art for one of the PCs was revealed! Take a look at Karwyn, the tough dwarven mercenary!
I could not be happier with Lance Red's work on these characters. They are truly amazing and he worked really hard to capture the feel and spirit of each PC.
Over the weekend, I added a new Patron level called the "Gift of Eventide" which allows you to have all of the PDFs for the campaign (adventure, PCs, and all background PDFs) sent to another person as a gift when each adventure is released!
Happy Holidays Everybody
