The Palace saga continues! After the success of our last five chapters we are back to bring you more stories, characters, monsters, magical items, and portal laden dungeon madness! As our adventures have found their way into the hands of more and more players, we have grown in following. With that growth our series has grown in quality and complexity. By backing this project you will help us bring to life the 6th PDF installment of a 10 part series which encompasses The Palace of 1001 Rooms.
Stealth Hammer is an all-ages comic that tells the story of Jami Taylor, a teenage college student, who finds herself part of a grand legacy of protectors in a world of high-tech gadgetry and supernatural mythology.
We discovered her origin in the first issue. In this new chapter we'll continue her journey, learn more about the legacy she is a part of, and discover new dangers she will face.
In the rustic hills of a small New England town lies the prestigious Miskatonic High School. When the Community Services Club went on a field trip they were launched back to ancient Egypt and were nearly killed by an evil wizard and his tentacle monster. They escaped back to our century, but things have never been the same. Since then, we learned some of the secrets haunting the students of the Community Service Club and that the world is not what they thought it was.
In issue #13, two of the club go to Miskatonic University to confront the warlock who controls the library of dark secrets. Their friends will need to hurry to stop them... or to beat them there... to conceal their own secrets. But as they teens learn the warlock's dark history and how entwined it is with their own, they will realize that it might already be too late. And for one, a fateful decision will change everything!

WELCOME TO A NEW SEASON OF THE FEW AND CURSED!
The Redhead is back and it feels amazing to be working on a brand new book featuring the series' most beloved character! It's been two years too long since we last saw Red on a new story after the thrilling Crows of Mana'Olana six-issue arc (collected as a trade paperback and available right here as well!)
THE FEW AND CURSED: Deluge is a brand new mini-series that will introduce new characters, curses and challenges as we continue to expand the universe we started a few years ago.
This is the Kickstarter campaign to publish the 32-page issue #7, the first of the Deluge story arc!
LostSouls is a brand new, young adult fantasy graphic novella from the creators of the critically acclaimed graphic novel, Samurai Grandpa: Eastin DeVerna (A.Guardian,Through the Shadow of Titans) and Shawn Daley (Better Place, The Bridgebuilder's Creed).
Inspired by stories like Dragon Ball, and old school JRPGs like Chrono Trigger, Breath of Fire II, Final Fantasy VII, and Xenogears, LostSouls:The Trials of Casci Capricor, is the first installment in a new anthology style series. Each subsequent book in this series will follow a new protagonist on their journey through the afterlife, with each new main character being linked to one another in some way -- typically by having played a supporting role for one of our previous protagonists -- ultimately giving us one large cohesive story.
This book can be used in several ways, all of them aimed at supporting you, the GM, in making your life easier so you can focus on what really matters: the characters and their stories. Below are a few examples on how the content can be used:
Introduce any of the locations as a whole to complement and speed up your worldbuilding
Introduce the locations in already-existing settings of the world’s greatest roleplaying game
Use the encounters independently when the party is exploring one of your own locations
Use the location with its overarching plot in order to run a whole adventure whenever you don’t have time to come up with your own adventure, or when you need filler content between sessions
Run a location and the overarching plot as a one-shot adventure
Use the content as inspiration to come up with your own content
Use it as base to run non-5e games, adapting the mechanical aspects of the content to your system
Amazing Encounters & Places will add fantastic experiences to your game and make the GM’s life easier. You get 8 locations, 56 encounters, and over 64 maps with over 300 versions. All encounters provide guidelines that allow you to adapt them to any of the Tiers of Play, making this content scalable from 1st-level to 20th-level!

The most highly voted was to make the book better and to increase the content such as monsters and items this even beat the STL FILES.

When gritty anime protagonist, Lady Vengeance, is brought to the real world by a super fan, she'll learn there's more to life than darkness and revenge...and she'll find love with the super fan's twin sister - a kind-hearted cheerleader.
Slice of Life is a queer romance that deconstructs the "slice of life" genre, unpacking the importance of everyday narratives to tell a larger story about the meaning of life from the point of view of a fictional character.
Quantum Marmalade is a sci-fi action comedy inspired by Dune, Cowboy Bebop, Star Wars, and Guardians of the Galaxy. The Prologue follows Roach as she arrives on the backwater planet of Ee'ezzo, ready to join the war that's been raging there.
The Prologue is a 55-page introduction to the world of Ee’ezzo. We follow Roach, a human soldier, as she immigrates to Planet Ee’ezzo to join the war effort.
The Prologue sets the tone for the rest of the story and introduces us to key elements of Quantum Marmalades universe -- characters (Roach, Dr. Zaius), technologies (weapons of war, A-9s), locations (Bazi, E'dolo), and, obviously, snack foods (Vittlits).
After accidentally acquiring an ancient relic dating back to the creation of the world, political and spiritual forces pressure seven pirates to quickly restore & reshape Aventus before it returns to ruin.
A world once united by one landmass and close with the gods, Aventus now lies in innumerable islands - most unexplored, or kept quiet. Fragments of old temples and cities lie scattered across the water-dominant globe. Rich history and secrets lie under every bonkin' rock, and has left many yearning for a taste of adventure - as well as investing in rocket-launching blunderbusses and cool hats.
BOOK ONE follows the first half of our crew as they collect various bounties - including that of a clandestine Pirate Lord. When he offers them a counter bounty for an ancient relic, the crew is skeptical, but agrees to the job. Now, as they uncover more information about the supposed "Divine Token”, things start to become more complicated… and deadly.

Snowpaw cameo comic page
Here is the cameo page for the snowpaw comic. She enters Adaross via a portal in this short story and faces the masked one and his evil magic. Awesome news I am also doing a cover for the next snowpaw comic for Rob Multari go check out this amazing comic please!
TournamentofPigs is an unforgettable D&D 5E/Dungeon Crawl Classics adventure that has players taking the role of commoners trapped in a medieval game show competition. The twelve events test luck and skill, but also creativity and improvisation. Do you think you can cook a cake good enough for the king? How good are you at wrestling greased piglets? Can you outrun an aberration while tied to another hapless contender?
In 2019 I compiled my favourite Photoghasts into a haunted book. With found footage imagery which would ‘come to life’ when scanned with an additional app. As much as I enjoyed working on the book, after finishing it an idea had arisen and it wouldn’t go away.
What if these haunted images could be compiled together into a card game? But, not just any old card game. A game that would allow players a truly unique ‘horror’ gaming experience by from scanning each card.
Now, after months of hard work, I’d like to present to you a world-first - a truly haunted photo game. A 42 card set with 30 Augmented Reality Photoghast character cards and 12 action cards.
We are pleased to announce the return of DRAGONRING, a cult classic comic book series, and the launch of a new comic book multiverse. The new series will be scripted by New York Times bestselling writer Cullen Bunn.
DRAGONRING is the first issue in a three issue miniseries. It'll be a standard 20 page, full color comic, written by Cullen Bunn and illustrated by Shannon Potratz.
Few hundred years back, this place was fulla life. Whole world was, as a matter of fact. We had libraries full of arcane secrets, towers hiding ancient treasures, more magic than anyone knew what to do with. Gone now. People argue as to how it happened but the long and short is that after some great war, magic just dried up. Used too much of it, I suppose. Now, there's still the occasional travelling wizard, sure, but their power pales in comparison to what there was aeons ago. What we have left is the three truths of Wistoria. Firstly, truth number one: the world ain't safe. The bits that aren't irradiated are dry deserts full of monsters, outlaws, and the occasional monster outlaw. When you leave the safety of civilization, there's no guarantee you're comin' back with your heart still in your rib cage. Truth number two: without magic, we've come to rely on artifice to keep society movin'. Gaslights illuminate the night instead of magic crystals. Giant, powerful locomotive machines made of steel and sweat getcha where you need instead of teleportation gates. And most importantly, buildin' off this truth and the last: truth three is this is the Age of the Gunslinger, able to kill a man dead just as fast as any fabled ol' sorcerer with a wand. There's good ones, there's bad ones, and you'd best believe there's ones more hideous than a trollhound's backside. In fact, this story I'm about to tell you talks about a few just like that. Pull up a chair, and take a listen to the weirdest tale in Wistoria... The story of a little town called Safe Haven.
Safe Haven is a Weird West themed adventure module for DnD 5e and Pathfinder 2e written and illustrated by Derry Luttrell, the host of the Dice Will Roll Podcast, taking player characters from Level 5 to Level 8. It takes place in a low-magic Western setting, and has anti-colonial and anti-capitalist themes. Players will unravel the mystery of the sleepy town of Safe Haven and its environs and encounter new monsters, unlock new items and take part in a tale of gunpowder, grit and greed. Also, there's an old lady with a huge lizard wife that own a corner shop, so that's fun!
Every 10 new pledges, we're adding a brand new Weird West themed class path to a new class in the game, from Gatling gun wielding Ragegunners Barbarians to hybrid weapon Staveslinger Wizards. Don't delay, support today!

Snowpaw Comic story in the Bai Ze!
Hey folks I just got some new art done at the moment for the anthology section of the book. I am working with amazing writer Rob Multari from the Snowpaw and Nightwolf hit comic series. He has kindly allowed Snowpaw to make a cameo appearance in the comic. She has been drawn to adaross via a mysterious portal in 19th century Scotland and ventures towards danger. This below is the art it will of course have some more detail in it and likely be a 3-6 page comic exclusive to this book. Please in the meantime go show some support and look at his comic project to get an idea of Snowpaw!
So I have decided to let you all vote on how we can include Snowpaw into not only the comic anthology but in the RPG. This of course will get the final approval from Rob Multari if he allows it but it is just an idea and I would love to get your feedback. What would you like. Please vote in the main comments section of the project to help with visibility.
PLEASE VOTE

They said fantasy roleplaying games were dangerous and they were wrong. But now? Maybe they were right to be afraid!
Writer Mark Sable (Miskatonic, Graveyard of Empires) and artist Chris Anderson (Heavy Metal; Creepshow; Lost Angels) have created CHAOTIC NEUTRAL, an all-new 48-page comic book first issue inspired by the old school fantasy roleplaying games that worried parents and teachers alike. CHAOTIC NEUTRAL delivers magic, adventure, and storytelling—with an edge.
And CHAOTIC NEUTRAL is more than just a comic. Mark Sable has written an official CHAOTIC NEUTRAL Adventure Module that you can play using most old school fantasy games.

is a two-fisted slugfest akin to Godzilla Vs. Kong mixed with a healthy dose of martial arts and outright carnage in the vein of Kill Bill as Bigfoot squares off with KUNG FU 'THULHU (that's right. There's a freaking Cthulhu!). Add a solid, meaty twist at the end and get ready to follow a gentle, cryptid warrior as he finds his way in a world where anyone can be a hunter and everyone can be the prey. If you enjoy cryptids, kaiju, psychological thrillers, over the top action and a little mystery, get ready for BIGFOOT KNOWS KARATE!
It's 1963, and having a carnival of 666 monsters ain't the draw it used to be. Miss Medusa's Monstrous Menagerie is one of the last two Mythic shows left in the U.S., trucking from one backwater jerkass town to the next. It's dirty work, and sometimes you barely make the nut, but America's still the land of plenty (of rubes). For this season at least, Miss Medusa's hiring, and you can still run away and join the circus. (Mythics, Cryptids, Gods, and Atomics only, please. Humans need not apply.)
Dungeon Drop-Ins are simple, one room encounters that GMs can use to spice up game night. Insert these dungeon rooms into any large map without disrupting the flow of the campaign. Or use them as inspiration for short, one-shot adventures. These scenarios were written with 5e in mind, but can be converted into any ruleset.
