The Dragoning is Here! And I Helped!
I'm working on a Kickstarter with the great folks at EverOn Games, and it's live today!
Over the past few months, I’ve been working with the amazing people at EverOn Games to prep for their Kickstarter “Ready, Set Encounter! - Vol. 1 - The Dragoning.” And it went live today!
If you don’t know EverOn, or any of their partner brands, you should. They put out hilarious TTRPG content like Rise of the Honk, and make some hellaciously cool miniature sculpts. This project, if you couldn’t tell by the name, is all about dragons.
You can pledge to get a massive slew of kobolds, wyrmlings, and dragonborn minis, as well as that neato huge adult dragon mini in the image right up there. But the whole concept is that you can use these minis to have a cinematic, plug-and-play encounter with very little prep.
Some of the cool stuff that makes that possible is:
new statblocks with awesome new attacks and abilities
encounter rules for cinematic, mid-battle goals and objectives
various battlefield elements that the GM can pop into a slugfest to make them more dynamic and interesting, including traps and large-scale events
storyline hooks that activate in the middle of your own combat encounters
The new monsters are cool, and I am particularly fond of the kobold lizard rider. The attacks, abilities, and encounters that EverOn has put together for them are a lot of fun. I can’t wait to have them scamper around and harass my party.
The whole project is a win from start to finish, and I couldn’t be happier working with these folks. They are some of the most genuine and nicest people I’ve had the pleasure of working with in the tabletop industry.
Don’t Forget Daggerheart!
The project is not only 5e, but also for Daggerheart. I’m working with the team to make sure that the Daggerheart version of the booklet is distinct for that system while maintaining the same feel they’re going for in the 5e version.
Because the systems are so different, there’s no way to simply swap numbers around, and I think those of you who are giving DH a shot will enjoy the care we’re taking to ensure not just cross-compatibility, but also a meaningful translation of mechanics.
All that said, it would be awesome if you’d check out the project, support it if you can, and share with your friends, Discord communities, or on other socials.
