Heroic Deeds Late Pledge Store

New art Poll
about 2 years ago – Thu, Mar 07, 2024 at 04:35:18 PM

Hello adventurers!

I still can't quite believe that we got to where we did, thanks again to everyone who supported the campaign. I'll get the pledge manager sorted shortly, so any late pledgers can also get onboard. I'll also get the Dodeca RPG pdf out to backers very soon.

For now I wanted to let you know there's a poll on the Heroic Deeds Discord around cover (and other) artwork for the game.

The results of the poll will inform my discussion with Douglas, who I'll be commissioning to do the art. Some of the other entries here will also appear on artwork for chapters.

So head over and vote, or ask questions about Skybergs and Realm Defenders.

More soon,

Pete

WE DID IT! THANK YOU BACKERS!
about 2 years ago – Thu, Feb 29, 2024 at 12:44:34 PM

Hello adventurers!

Thank you so much to every supporter of the Kickstarter, as well as all those who have shared, liked, commented, created actual plays and more. It's been an amazing month and we managed to get through 3 of our Stretch Goals. Heroic Deeds is coming!

Tonight we've got episode 11 of Red Hand of Doom, our Heroic Deeds actual play, so come and join us at 21:00 GMT on the Garblag Games YouTube channel. We'll also be celebrating the awesome result with the Kickstarter.

Now processing of pledges will start, I'll start sharing the Dodeca RPG pdf with everyone, and then the work to complete the game will begin!

It feels like the end of something, but really it's just the start....

More soon,

Pete

Last 12 Hours - Let's Go!
about 2 years ago – Wed, Feb 28, 2024 at 04:44:25 PM

Hi All,

We are nearly there and it's been an amazing month, full of updates, info, actual plays and more. So I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who has backed us so far.

We are less than £300 from our third Stretch Goal. So if you are still undecided, I encourage you to take the leap. If we get there we'll add even more Adventure Locations like the one below.

I thought a little bit of hand drawn mappage might be a nice way to end. I'll be drawing the location maps myself, my one artistic streak! Each Adventure Location (we're up to 6 so far) will have 1 or 2 mapped levels, and guidance on how to expand them. There will also be descriptions of what the party might find, treasures, and site specific Deeds. So loads to get stuck into.

Anyway, this is my last content based update. I really look forward to making this game for you, and your table.

More soon,

Pete

Last 24 Hours - More Actual Plays and Iconic Artwork
about 2 years ago – Wed, Feb 28, 2024 at 04:32:24 AM

Hello Adventurers!

We are now in the final 24 hours of the campaign. It's been amazing, so thank you for all your support. We've hit two stretch goals, and it would be awesome if we hit the third before the end. Last night (while we in the UK were asleep) there were two aweome actual play streams from friends of Garblag Games.

Firstly the final part (for now) of the Adventures in Lollygagging Ode to Hommlet, with the party entering the moathouse after dealing with Darkmire Leapers and Deathsilk Spiders.

Secondly we have a great one shot from our friends over at Dieselshot. Lee has cooked up his own scenario The Baths of Lament, come and see how he and Pat handle the game.

I also wanted to show you some more artwork - this time from the fantastic Mustafa Bekirwho has been working on the iconic artwork for the Archetypes. This time we have the Volmat, the dwarf Lightbearer and the Darakar, the minotaur Wildwalker. These two are fantastic, I love Mustafa's aesthetic - it's great for the old school feel I want the book and adventures to have.

These two awesome heroes will be joined by a gnome Darkdelver and an orc Battlerager very soon!

I'll no doubt do another update later, plus we have a live stream tomorrow night on the Garblag Games YouTube channel. I'll be covering the Kickstarter and saying thank you at the start of that so come join us if you can - 9pm GMT / 3pm CT.

More soon,

Pete

Last 48 Hours - FREE DODECA RPG FOR BACKERS!
about 2 years ago – Tue, Feb 27, 2024 at 09:48:45 AM

Hello adventurers!

So here we are inside the last 48 hours, and we're well over funded and rumbling along. I wanted to give you a little extra to say thank you for your support and encouragement along the way. For those already backed, this is a little treat. For those still watching and waiting, perhaps another reason to support the campaign.

Every backer at the Digital, Physical and All-In tiers will get a 100% FREE PDF copy of my Dodeca RPG, the game that started my new design career and the basis for Heroic Deeds!

This has the same skeleton as Heroic Deeds, but there have been some revisions and fleshing out into a more complete and whole roleplaying game since 2021. So Dodeca is bare bones, but a lot of fun.

This will be fulfilled, through DriveThruRPG, within 2 weeks of the campaign ending and I'll throw in some Sheets & Handouts that'll help you play the game.

I'm also going to split our next Stretch goal into two, with half the total reward assigned to each. I really love making adventure locations! So the next two stretch goals are:

• £6,500 - 2 adventure locations (the Ruined Outpost and Mountain Tollkeep)
• £7,000 - 2 adventure locations (the Claw of Throx and Plundered Armoury)

These will add to the locations already voted for on the Heroic Deeds Discord: the Fallen Laboratory, Crashed Skyberg, Overgrown Forge, and Shattered Temple). All great locations within which to perform Heroic Deeds.

Let's see if we can't unlock those 2 remaining stretch goals before the end of the campaign!

More soon,

Pete
