Old-School Solo Adventures Ends Saturday, Aug 27 at 8pm Central

We’re about to enter the last phase of the Old-School Solo Adventures crowdfunding campaign. Tonight at 8pm Central, Kickstarter will send out the 48-hour warning bell, and we’ll be in for the wild ride that so frequently ends such projects!

If you’ve missed the prior announcements, these are four “programmed” adventures using the Old-School Essentials Classic Fantasy rules. If you are familiar with the Choose Your Own Adventure stories, released by Bantam Books between 1979-1998, these have a similar flavor.

You won’t need a referee – you follow the branching pathways as you make choices. If these choices lead to violence, resolve conflict using the Old-School Essentials rules.

The four adventures span a range of play from 2nd level through 9th level. Use these adventures to:

• Keep gaming when you can’t get together with your usual group
• Learn the Old-School Essentials game rules at your own pace
• Run players through a scenario with near-zero prep – they can experience roleplaying within moments of sitting around a table. Great for bringing in new players, or even stress-free convention play.

As we roll in, I wanted to bring your attention to two items:

• There are a limited number of the Hardcopy Starter Kit remaining. I’m looking to see if I can get a boost to our allocation, but if not, there are currently only about a dozen remaining. If those are of interest, you may need to act fast. If I run out of books, you won’t be able to change to this pledge in Backerkit.
• There’s a “home-stretch” goal for digital versions of the Quick-Reference cards at 900 backers … and we only have 280 to go to reach that goal. We have over 1,200 following who haven’t yet backed…so this is looking pretty doable. Every monster, PC, and NPC in the adventures will have a card.

This project is already my second-best for number of backers, and given my best-ever is 685, I feel graciously and enthusiastically welcomed to the Old-School community so far.

So thanks…and I hope you jump on.

Here are some previews of the covers and inside in larger format.
