Into the Wild Kickstarter

[thirdkingdom]

Into the Wild, a guide to hexcrawling and domain management for OSR-style games, is going live on Thursday: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/10 ... the-wild-3

[thirdkingdom]

Into the Wild is now live. It compiles a handful of the shorter supplements I've written and had available for either cheap or PWYW into a single document of around 225 pages. The goal of the Kickstarter is to raise money for art. Carlos Castilho, Denis McCarthy, Adrian Barber, Michelle Smallwood, Dan Smith, and others have already signed on. The book contains rules for exploring and clearing hexes, founding and ruling a domain, adding specific rural and urban infrastructure benefits to hexes and cities that provide mechanical benefits, a simplified mass combat system, random weather generation, rules for creating new character classes, and some revised and unique character classes for B/X-style games.

We're four days in and $1,000 shy of the next (more art) stretch goal for Into the Wild. Art has also started to come in; here's a stronghold map that will be partially labeled to allow for use during games:

Chapter art for Into the Wild is starting to come in, as well. I'm having Denis McCarthy do the art for all six chapters. This is the chapter art for Mercantilism and Wealth.

And yet more art, in the conceptual stage. An inhabited bridge for the stronghold section, by Adrian Barber, and a sketch for an illustration in the hunting and foraging section by Carlos Castilho.

Eight days left and we're 2,500 shy of the 12,000.00 stretch goal of another round of commissioned art for the book. I've also started getting a few straggling pieces in that I'd comissioned during the first round.

We've got five days left to go on the Kickstarter and I just got the first of four tracking sheets in designed by James V West. The four will track: cities, domains, hexes, and strongholds.
