Dragon's Hoard Publishing proudly presents
"The Unusual Suspects" - A sourcebook of patrons
Here at Dragon's Hoard Publishing we love Goodman Games' Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG and all that it stands for.
Dungeon Crawl Classics takes tabletop roleplaying back to its roots. It focuses on (but is certainly not limited to!) traditional dungeon crawl adventures. Its unique core system of rules allow for a breath of fresh air and flexibility in a crowded market. We believe that what Goodman Games has achieved, in term's of presentation, writing, and art work, is take you into the worlds discribed by the authors listed in Appendix N, the influential writing described by Gary Gygax in the AD&D Dungeon Master's Guide.
Our goal with "The Unusual Suspects" is to expand upon this amazing product by focusing on a unique concept from the DCC RPG - patron magic - and expanding it.
"The Unusual Suspects" is a perfect bound softcover supplement book detailing a host of new patrons for use in the DCC RPG. In terms of patrons, expect our work to show the influences of Gardner Fox, A. Merritt, Leigh Brackett, Michael Moorcock, Robert E. Howard, and H.P. Lovecraft to name a few. "The Unusual Suspects" will be a 32-page, high quality product featuring brand new artwork. It will utilize the Open Game License and the Dungeon Crawl Classics compatability license to ensure full compatability to the Dungeon Crawl Classic rules set.
Because this project is still in development, and because we want to make this supplement really worth your time, Dragon's Hoard publishing is proud to announce a number of stretch goals to "The Unusual Suspects". For every additional goal we meet, after our initial goal, we will add an additional sixteen pages of patrons until the book reaches a staggering 96 pages, with a final 4 pages dedicated to our brand new magic items section!
If that isn't enough to pique your interest, we will also be providing free shipping anywhere in the world.
Everybody will receive now recieve the 96 page book if we hit our initial goal in one capacity or another.
Below we have outlined what we are hoping to achieve with this project at each stretch goal
Goal #1 - Our primary goal is to reach $2,000. If successful, Everybody will receive receive The full book either as a PDF or book or both depending at what amount you contribute.
Goal #2 - The first of our stretch goals is $4,000.If we reach this you will receive my module the tomb of curses so that means everyone who contributes $20 receives it and if you were already going to get it yours will be a delux version with unique art and signed by Sean.
Goal #3 - Should we raise $6,000 if we hit this you will receive Sean's second module "The snow witch of the melstarian mountains" she must be defeated and your just the people to try again.Everyone who contributes $20 or more will receive it.
Goal #4 - If we reach $8,000 if we hit this you will receive a bonus 3 panel screen so that means anyone who contributes $25 or more will receive this if you were already going to receive this yours will be upgraded to a four panel screen.
Goal #5 - At $10,000 offer if we reach this recieve a game box with unique art from Scott Ackerman.So that's everyone who contributes $35 or more. If you were already going to receive this yours comes with some unique signed art from Scott.
Goal #6 - Our final stretch goal is $12,000 and should we reach it will be a mystery addition to The Unusual Suspects. Which is a special gift to all of those who donated to the project no matter the amount!

$45 - Set-Utekh, the Destroyer

Should Set-Utekh ever be freed from other-worldy His prison, He will eat the life of stars and planets. Until that time, though, He offers much power to those who would do His dark bidding, and would gamble against the chance that some minor task their patron sets will release the Destroyer.
$45 perfect bound book + special dm's screen + poster + t-shirt and the module The Revelation of Mulmo by Daniel Bishop plus all stretch goals.
$50 - Mab, Dark Queen of Faerie
She brings dreams dark and delightful, which make men mad. She rides the dark nights in the autumn of the year, the Hosts of the Slaugh her retainers. Slighted, she curses new-born children. On a whim, she plucks babes from their cribs to devour, or lays with young men who arise withered and old. Yet the Dark Queen of Faerie can be a friend to those who know their place, and who are willing to pay her awful price.
$50 perfect bound book + signed + special dm's screen + bonus magic item section, detailing 16 new item's + poster + t - shirt and the module The Revelation of Mulmo by Daniel Bishop plus all stretch goals.

It is said that Mulmo hears every word whispered on love's pillow, every curse screamed in defiance, rage, or hatred. To see Mulmo is to be driven mad. To hear Mulmo's rasping whispers is to know much...and, perhaps, also to be driven mad.
$75 everything mentioned above + game box with unique art by Scott Ackerman plus all stretch goals + magic item section.
$100 - Pesh Joomang, the Gate and the Keeper
In the Lands of the Sau, long ago, dwelt the sages Yaggyx and Sarnon, who distilled the visions of a slew of prior wizards and scribes into several great tomes of lore and magic. But, as time passed, Tarot Wizards wrested the tomes from the great sages. What Yaggyx and Sarnon had wrought was distorted and lost. Indeed, there were some who felt that the Old Magic had never truly existed, and that tales of a long-lost Golden Age were but illusions of memory.
It was Pesh Joomang who tracked back through the works of the great sages, discovering the pandects of the scribes who came before Yaggyx and Sarnon, and so renewed the fires of the Old Magic. Pesh Joomang is both the Keeper of, and the Gate to, the Old Magic. Some claim that he is the greatest patron of them all.
$100 everything above plus all stretch goals + my own module signed and shrink wrapped "the tomb of curses" coming out this year published by dragon hoard publishing + bonus patron "Pesh Joomang" the greatest patron of them all not included anywhere else.
