Latest Updates from Our Project:

New Character Sheets
about 1 year ago – Tue, Feb 18, 2025 at 06:06:03 AM

Hi all!

The new character sheets as designed by Ettin are available on my itch page now as free downloads, both in print and form fillable online versions. If you own the game on DriveThruRPG you can also download them there!

You'll see that they are cleaner looking, use the new logo, have a dedicated section for your weapons, and the form fillable version has text fields for HP and SP in place of the check boxes. Here's how the print version looks:

The new print character sheet for the game.

I'll be running a Twitch stream on Saturday where Ettin and I will go through the character creation process and demonstrate how it all works as he makes a PC for the game on Sunday. Thank you all for your continued support - let's make it a big final week for the campaign!

New Tiers: Villain and Dungeon Boss
about 1 year ago – Sat, Feb 15, 2025 at 07:05:04 AM

Hello! Two new backer tiers have been added to the campaign, as detailed below:

Villain: $100 AUD (about $64 USD)

Villain backers will receive Physical + Digital benefits and will also be able to contribute three enemies to the game. One will be an antagonist for the players, while the other two will be minions for that antagonist. No additional art will be offered at this tier. This is a limited reward, with only 10 available.

Dungeon Boss: $300 AUD (about $191 USD)

Dungeon Boss backers will receive Physical + Digital benefits, plus the opportunity to create a dungeon in the world of Ceria. This dungeon will have a boss monster of the player's design with art, along with three enemy stat blocks, two treasure items, and one special weapon as a reward for players who defeat the boss. This is a limited reward, with only 4 available.

The Villain tier enemies will appear in the book alongside the villains from the Goddesses expansion, while the Dungeon Boss dungeons, enemies and treasure will appear alongside content from the Dungeon Tower expansion.

I have had some questions about what guidelines will be laid down for backer creations. My basic rules are pretty simple: don't submit anything offensive, and don't submit anything that's a blatant copyright infringement and likely to get me sued (sorry, we won't be doing Suicide Squad Isekai here). 

Outside of that, I'm happy to take your general ideas and fill in the more mechanical details myself. I've got a good sense of how much health and damage enemies should have from running the game many times over, so there's no need to get caught up on the numbers. I'm most interested in hearing your concepts - if your hero was the protagonist of an anime, how would you pitch that anime to me? If your monsters appeared in front of the players, how would you describe them and what makes them tricky to fight? How does the boss use their minions, and how do the minions help their boss?

Some of you have private Kickstarter accounts, but anyone who wants to reach out and discuss their creative ideas with me can do so through Discord (my username is duffo) or via email ([email protected]). I will also contact you all through Backerkit after the campaign, so I will speak to you about your creations then!

New Add-on: Extra Signed Copy
about 1 year ago – Thu, Feb 13, 2025 at 05:29:45 AM

Hi all! I've had some backers reach out to me and tell me they'd like to get a second copy of the book, either so they can loan one out to friends or give it as a gift. I've now made this an option through campaign Add-ons: if you're a backer, you can go to the "Manage your pledge" option and add this for an extra $40 AUD. If you do buy a second copy, I will sign it and add a personalised message of your request!

Progress is going well - Ettin has been designing a new character sheet for the game, which should be ready soon. I'll make it freely available for download from the itch.io page and send out an update when it's live. We have a livestream of the game set for 4pm AEDT on the final day of the campaign, so watch out for details about that too! In the meantime you can follow my Twitch where the game will be streamed.

50% Funded!
about 1 year ago – Sun, Feb 09, 2025 at 01:32:18 AM

Hi all! We're now just over the halfway mark of the campaign and thankfully also halfway to funded too. Thank you to the nearly 100 backers so far who have supported the campaign! 

I've been having a lot of fun running the game for first-timers and introducing them to the system. The maps and tokens I have put together are for my Season of the Sage adventure path that will appear in the definitive edition book, and I'm hoping to get a Twitch stream ready in the next two weeks as well as continuing to GM the game for people. The adventure starts out in the desert tracking down a caravan trafficking a black market scroll, and from there it takes you into the lair of a demon, out to a seaside resort, and possibly to the Great Sage Muto himself! I'm running two more US Friday night/Australian Saturday morning+early afternoon games - you'll find the links and times below.

I also did an interview with streamer Mildra the Monk where I talked about the game and some of my design inspirations and thoughts, as well as discussing isekai more broadly. If you missed it, you can watch it here:

Thank you again, and I'll see you all in the next update!

First 48 Hours Update
about 1 year ago – Sun, Jan 26, 2025 at 05:55:47 PM

Hi all! Thank you for backing the project early on - 45 backers is a solid start, and I'm looking forward to seeing that grow.

I'll have some more behind the scenes announcements and updates as the campaign goes on, but for now I wanted to share some ways that you can help promote the game. Sharing the link on social media and telling your friends helps a lot, but here are some other things that will help!

  1. Sharing Community Copies

If anyone you know would like to read the rulebook before backing, there are a number of copies available for free on my itch page. Just go down to the Community Copies section of the page and click "Claim access"! I will be topping these up as the campaign goes on.

  • Inviting People To Play

I've had a side-gig as a professional GM on StartPlaying for the last two years, and I will be running introductory one-shot sessions of the game there! They are listed at $10 USD per player, but if you're a backer you can message me and I will drop the price down to make it $0 for you. I have sessions listed in Australia and US friendly times, so it's a good opportunity to bring a friend along and sell them on the game too.

Here are the sessions I have listed right now:

Saturday February 1st, 10am AEST / Friday January 31st, 6pm CST / 7pm EST

Thursday February 6th, 7pm AEST

Saturday February 8th, 12pm AEST / Friday February 7th, 6pm PST / 8pm CST

Thanks again for backing! If you have any further questions please feel free to comment or message me through Kickstarter or over on Bluesky
