Delvers to Grow: Last Two Days!
Well, the Delvers to Grow campaign ends tomorrow at 9pm Central Time. The book is now substantially complete. I need to do the “complete these things last” items: hyperlinks, Table of Contents, and the Index. I need to put some quick-reference things like the skill cost table on the inside cover of the book. And I’ve commissioned the last two pieces of art that are needed to fill some spaces. Those shall be in hand June 12 or before, if all goes well. Somewhere around that same weekend or before, I shall go live with Backerkit. Once folks start filling out their surveys, all existing PDFs shall be pushed through DriveThruRPG.
Some Screenshots
Here are some previews. Prior work has showed the swashbuckler and a knight. I’ll push out a smart delver today as well.
This is one of the spreads that still needs finished art. What will go there? Well of course it’s an homage to The Princess Bride. Probably based strongly on this scene:
If any of you are active on RPG boards, social media, or anywhere else, and you want to give the campaign a plug, please feel free to re-use these or any other image that has been shared as part of an update.
The Last Pitch
The Kickstarter for Delvers to Grow is ending at 9 pm Central Time on Tuesday, May 25. It has funded, and the next steps are stretch goals for more included content with backer pledges. Delvers to Grow offers character generation for the Dungeon Fantasy RPG with two important features:
- It covers lower power levels than the near-epic characters provided in the Dungeon Fantasy RPG boxed set: If you like “zero to hero” play, this is your book
- It enables getting to the table fast. It usually takes people 5 to 15 minutes from opening the book to “ready to start play.”
- It includes an adventure tuned for the power levels covered in the books. Make characters, start play. Right then.
It is, without hesitation, the greatest recruiting tool for Powered by GURPS games like the Dungeon Fantasy RPG that has ever been created. One blind-tester took it to their favorite local game store, and ran an amazing pick-up game on the fly. With the Dungeon Fantasy RPG. He was asked back to run more. If you’ve wanted to try a Powered by GURPS game, if you love the Dungeon Fantasy RPG but can’t get folks to make characters because it takes too long, if you prefer starting as a lower-tier delver and working your way up to epic during play…Delvers to Grow is the book for you.
