There were a lot of really great submissions, and choosing just one was most challenging! Honorable mention goes to Jim Morris’s Mausoleum of the Moderate Monk and Paul Jennings’ A Rising Tide.

Thor Olavsrud of Torchbearer RPG (and one of our esteemed contest judges) encourages everyone who made a submission to work on their adventures and release it under the Torchbearer Sagas or Torchbearer Dungeoneers & Dragonslayers licenses! “And I’m happy to provide some feedback on submissions to anyone that does want to finish their adventure and release it.”

Many thanks to all you bards out there who took the time to create such epic adventures and submit it! Twas a pleasure and an honor to read them all.

Your fellow bard,

Arlin

All That Glitters

Be sure to check in with our updates on Kickstarter. Thanks to your generous support, we’ve upgraded everyone’s book.

And since I think it’s not clear in the project description, I wanted to point out the digital content available for Torchbearer. All backers pledging to a tier will receive PDFs of the following: the rulebook, the character sheet, the player reference sheet, the GM reference sheet, the Thief bonus class and the bonus scenario The Dread Crypt of Skogenby.

Launch, Sign and Stamp

KarolinaWIP2Hello friends,

We’re launching our Kickstarter on Wednesday May 1st at 12 PM, New York Time. It’ll run for 30 days.

There are a limited number of the signed and stamped version of the books. These books are not any more expensive than the regular book. We don’t charge for our signature.

We plan on releasing 200 signed and stamped books, but we’ve limited the initial lot to 50 books to ensure that our friends across the globe get a shot at scoring one.

We’ll release another lot of 50 signed and stamped books on Thursday, May 2nd at 9 AM for our European friends. We’ll release another lot of 50 on Friday, May 3rd at 7 PM for our Australian friends.

We’ll release the final lot of 50 at a time to be determined by us based on demand.

Thanks again. We’re looking forward to getting this game into your hands.

Best,

-Luke and Thor
