Less than three days to back Swords Without Master on Kickstarter!
To celebrate this amazing run we've had, I want to take time to highlight the artists we've been able to bring in thanks to your support!
A ttrpg of strange sorceries, ferocious deeds, and astounding wonder by Epidiah Ravachol.
First, let me tell you a bit about Swords Without Master:
Do you long to play games that feel like the pulpiest of Conan the Barbarian adventures? Do you dream of taking your friends to places stranger than those visited by Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser? Do you seek to don the chainmail, leather, furs and ferocity of Red Sonya, Valeria or Jirel of Joiry? Well, friends, this might be the game for you!
A no-prep storytelling game where the dice drive the tone, not the tension, Swords Without Master will take you and your table on a journey to unknown realms, unimagined ages, and unforgettable adventure!
Once findable only in Worlds Without Master Issue #3, Swords Without Master is now on kickstarter - but only until the last seconds of Friday, February 13th!
And why kickstarter? To create a beautiful standalone book, of course! But also -- and this is where I come in -- to build for you a library of the best and strangest and most enticing Eidolon Folios the world has ever seen!
What is an Eidolon Folio? It is a collection of eight tarot-sized art cards, featuring on the front beautiful illustrations designed to inspire you at the table with worlds, characters, monsters, magics, mysteries and more - and on the back? prompts for play, tricks for rogues, and more ways to build up and expand your game into new realms!
What am I doing with all this? I am painting a folio, yes! But also - I am art directing, helping Epidiah and Nathan at Unwritten Earths by working directly with our artists to create a lineup of swords, sorceries and much more to make your games as evocative and surprising as possible!
And that is why we need you to help us - we have two stretch goals left in these final days of our kickstarter, and they are really incredible:
We are *so close* to funding our Sword and Planet eidolon folio, featuring @simon-roy's incredible worldbuilding chops let loose!
And for one last big dream before we wrap up:
A deck of creatures, monsters, strangeness and magic from such greats as @monstermonger, @so-engery, and @azuresasha! Baleful and haunting, haunted and beastly, it's going to be a doozy. Help us get there before it's too late!
And stay tuned for some artist profiles, because I have a lot of praises to sing before this kickstarter wraps!
