Adventure spotlight! We've been talking about it for a few months now, but you may be wondering what the Seven Jewels of Azul-Ra plotline is, exactly.

In the distant past, a meteorite blazed across the sky, unveiling seven unparalleled jewels of raw power. As clans fought for control, a sorcerer-king named Azul-Ra emerged, wielding the gems and raising chaos. Millennia later, a treasure map has been discovered, leading to the hidden ziggurat in the heart of the jungle.

Join the hunt for power and uncover the secrets!

So, we’re asking the members of our communities where on Athyr they would prefer to live in real life, but on each of our social media, we’re asking the question from a different angle.
Where would you like to live?

A. On the Islands of Roshan, where mythical monsters are actively protected from harm.

B. Ethennia, where monsters lurk in the sands.

C. Ishta, where many varieties of monsters are still left to be discovered.

D. The Sundered Wastes, where many monsters actively draw from the arcane energies that are leaking through the cracks.

E. Evandyr, where monsters often hide in dark forests.

BLOOD AND DOOM 75.000 EURO STRETCH GOAL UNLOCKED & FREE 112-PAGE FACES OF EVIL ADVENTURE NOW AVAILABLE ON DRIVETHRURPG

Hello, all adventurers!

Just a few minutes ago, we crossed the 75.000 euro mark, unlocking our second stretch goal! With another 17 days to go, we’re hoping that your continued support will help us unleash even more Blood and Doom mayhem, but for now let’s take a closer look at what you will be getting this time around.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dicetalegames/blood-and-doom

All of our backers will receive a full-color map of the Athyrian solar system, complete with its two suns, Athyr’s five moons, and their celestial alignments.

But that’s not all, as this stretch goal also includes a calendar for the three notations used on Athyr, complete with the special events celebrated on specific dates, such as Mythic Revelries, Grand Celebrations, Arcane Conclaves, Sacred Rites, and Hallowed Evenings.

Both the solar system map and the calendar will be made available as PDFs to all backers, but those of you who have entered a pledge of Disciple or higher will even get printed versions, to be included in your final packages!

In addition, we will be adding detailed double-sided maps for each of Athyr’s known five regions: Ethennia, Ishta, the Sundered Wastes, Evandyr, and the Islands of Roshan. One side will have hexes printed on it, the other side will not include any overlay whatsoever. This Region Map Set will also be available as a print Add-On for a scant €20.

Interview on Table Talk

Just in case you missed it, feel free to take a look at the interview our creator Ferruccio Argento and co-head writer Dirk Vandereyken did on Heath’s Geekverse’s Table Talk here:

Free 500 Page+ Primer Bundle

Here’s the Drivethrurpg link to the full Blood and Doom Primer Bundle, which includes more than 500 pages out of the three core rulebooks, as well as a world map of Athyr, and a sample of the original soundtrack by Knut Avenstraup of Conan Exiles fame.

https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/431092/Blood-and-Doom-Primer-Bundle

Free 112-Page Adventure

We have also published the full Faces of Evil adventure and four pregenerated Characters to go along with it! In this intensely thrilling 112-page adventure, the PCs will be investigating a recent string of disappearances and murders in the Ethennian trade city of Ashar, where people have started to believe that malevolent supernatural forces are responsible for what has been happening.
Here’s the link to the adventure:

Great news, everyone! Dungeon Craft's Professor Dungeon Master, who usually does not promote Kickstarters, agreed to have us sponsor one of his videos. We gave him free reign to share whatever he wanted to with his viewers, and... he absolutely raves about 'Blood and Doom' in his video, calling it 'absolute genius'!

Get in on the action here:

We're already beyond our first stretch goal and with your help, we'll be able to unlock that second stretch goal FAST! ;-)

FIRST STRETCH GOAL UNLOCKED!

After just 3 days, we already unlocked our first stretch goal: the PDF adventure The Eye of Maru-Dasa.

The Eye of Maru-Dasa reverses a popular fantasy trope all of you will know and – likely – love. In many a fantasy tale, the adventurers go looking for some kind of treasure or long-lost artifact. However, in The Eye of Maru-Dasa, the artifact goes looking for them, as all of the Characters are visited by visions that beckon them towards the forest where a relic of old is calling for their help.

What does the Eye want from the Characters? Why is it reaching out to them specifically – or is it trying to contact other people as well? Could the Eye be Ayaai in origin, or is some other civilization responsible? The Eye of Maru-Dasa ups the ante and makes things personal as the personalities and backgrounds of the Characters come into play. Failure does not just mean losing, it stands for losing everything dear to the Characters’ hearts.
