Latest Updates from Our Project:

Smoke test are out!
7 months ago – Mon, Feb 05, 2024 at 08:02:19 AM

We've sent out the smoke tests! As a refresher, this means we're sending surveys to a small portion of backers to check for any errors or other issues. If it goes smoothly, we'll send everyone their survey within the next few days. If you don't receive a survey shortly, no need to worry - you'll have one soon! 

Smoke tests are coming

Hi everyone,

We're deep into the design for the Almanac fo Allies, and things are going well. I hope to have the manuscript finished and on to editing by the end of February. However, the next step in the process is collecting survey information. 

I've completed all the necessary steps in BackerKit to send out surveys, which is currently going through a review process with one of their staff members. Once they give us the green light, we'll send out the smoke test. 

If you're unfamiliar with this process, the smoke test involves sending surveys to a small section of backers to guage responses and look for any errors. If everything looks good, the rest of you will get your surveys within a day or two. thanks again for your support!

End of Year Update
9 months ago – Wed, Dec 27, 2023 at 09:27:02 AM

Hi friends, just dropping in for a short end-of-year update. We're hard at work finishing up the manuscript for this, and i'm happy with our progress! Surveys are also nearly ready, and we'll have those out the first week of January. From there, it's just a matter of finishing, editing, and sending things your way. 

The miniature sculpts are all finished as well. I have some minor repair work to do with my 3D printer but once I do some test prints i'll forward the files to our mini printing partner. Thanks for your support, and we'll see you in January!

New Ally Alert: The Sea Dog
10 months ago – Mon, Nov 20, 2023 at 12:03:49 PM

Hi friends,

thank you for your support so far! We've raised enough to bring this book to life, and i'm really excited about what we have in store. I have mentioned this on my discord a few times, but I think this will be the most visually beautiful book we've ever done. 

I wanted to use this update to highlight another addition to the allies in the book: The Sea Dog. Those of you who have played Swashbuckler Rogues in the past will find this guy to be familiar, but the ally includes some unique twists that can only com with being a long-tailed kobold. Throughout the rest of the campaign, we'll drop a few more pieces of art and bits of information about the remaining allies to give you a better idea of what we are working. 

Other Cool Projects

A few of my friends are currently running projects on Kickstarter, I would love for you to check them out!

CZRPG is back with Amazing Encounters & Locations. Amazing Encounters & Locations will feature 12 brand new places for you to drop into your world, each filled with ready-to-play encounters. This 240-page 5e book brings you 38 encounters, 38 maps, in addition to new creatures and magic items. Each encounter works independently, but the encounters of a location can be tied into an adventure, and all places can be tied into a campaign that goes from levels 1 to 12!
