Brave Halfling -- Adventure Toolkit product line
I have these DCC modules scheduled for release:
“Appendix N Adventure Toolkit #2: “The Crumbling Tower.” A young magic-user's apprentice failed to return home for the fall holiday and you and your companions are sent to investigate what has happened to him. This is a level 1 module and will ship in September 2012.
“Appendix N Adventure Toolkit #3: “Danger in the Sulyndri Forrest.” Deep in the Sulyndri Forrest, sightings of strange, one-eyed, one-horned reptilian humanoids are becoming more common. Now, two entire groups of loggers have gone missing. Elders from three local hamlets have offered to provide a few parcels of land to you and your party if you agree to investigate and deal with whatever is haunting the Forrest. This is level 3 module and will ship in November 2012.
“Appendix N Adventure Toolkit #4: “The Revenge of Abudakar.” A special doorway through time offers your party a chance to right a great wrong. But this is no task for the weak of arm or heart. Terrible evils and great perils await you beyond the threshold! This is an epic, level 5 module and will ship in January 2013.
"Appendix N Adventure Toolkit #5: "The Old Isle Campaign Setting." This product will include a 11" x 17" color campaign map, a digest Player's and Referee's Guide. While all Appendix N Adventures are generic and can be placed into any campaign, they all do have specific locations in the Old Isle Setting. This campaign setting will ship in April 2013.

John, these sound amazing! You really are busy!Coleston the Cavalier wrote:I have these DCC modules scheduled for release
Oh, and I decided that this was a significant enough announcement to give it its own thread. I updated the basic product information in the main 3PP thread, however.

Re: Brave Halfling -- Adventure Toolkit product line
Just out of curiosity, how do you intend to proceed with the additional "backers" material (NPCs, monsters, locations, etc.) ?
I assume some kind of coordination will be needed, unless you prefer a "patchwork" feel (which may also be a good way to go).

I am thinking of a private, temporary forum to work all that out, but I will take suggestions.sheriffharry wrote:Just out of curiosity, how do you intend to proceed with the additional "backers" material (NPCs, monsters, locations, etc.) ?

Re: Brave Halfling -- Adventure Toolkit product line
Many of you may have gotten a kickstarter update, but just in case I wanted to post something. John said:
1. Does this Toolkit replace the "Old Isle Campaign Setting" in the earlier sequence? (Old Isle was listed as #5 in the earlier post.)
2. Is Old Isle designed to be a DCC product?
A couple of questions for John:Adventure Toolkit #5: “Perplexing Disappearances in Brambury.” The peaceful serenity of the halfling hamlet of Brambury has been shattered as cattle continue to vanish nightly without a trace. Will you and your companions brave this mystery and discover the nefarious evil that surely haunts the countryside around Brambury? This is level 2 module and will ship in April 2013.

Re: Brave Halfling -- Adventure Toolkit product line
Nope, it's been slotted in between #4 and #6 which is the Old Isle at $15,000. It's obviously just an extra incentive added in between #4 and the Old Isle at #5 which was $15,000 before, still is, and would've been a big step otherwise (from $10,000 at 4 to $15,000 at 5).finarvyn wrote:A couple of questions for John:

He also said this on his Kickstarter update page:
Second, many folks who’s wisdom I take very seriously have offered me ideas on how to add something to a pledge level as a way of enticing folks to upgrade their pledge by $10 or $20. But the more I have considered it, the more I have come back to the basic reason for this kickstarter, jump-starting the Appendix N Adventure line of modules in support of the DCC RPG. So instead, I have decided to add yet one more additional module as Bonus Goal #5 ($12,500): “Appendix N Adventure Toolkit #5: “Perplexing Disappearances in Brambury.”
Also from his Kickstarter update page:finarvyn wrote:2. Is Old Isle designed to be a DCC product?
However, from the first time I got to read some of the early DCC RPG play-test material, I knew this campaign setting had found a new home! So my friends, if this kickstarter reaches $15,000, everyone who has pledged $20 or more will also receive a pdf copy and a print copy of, Appendix N Adventure Toolkit #5: "The Old Isle Campaign Setting." This product will include a 11" x 17" color campaign map, a digest Player's and Referee's Guide. While all Appendix N Adventures are generic and can be placed into any campaign, they all do have specific locations in the Old Isle Setting. How's that for the first update? Again, that's so much for your support!

Re: Brave Halfling -- Adventure Toolkit product line
Thanks, Colin!
Yes, I just added another Appendix N Adventure Toolkit module to the kickstarter at the $12,500 level and gave it the series number I was going to give the Old Isle Campaign setting. And yes, the campaign setting is for the DCCV RPG.

Re: Brave Halfling -- Adventure Toolkit product line
I was in talking to my local game store guy today and he was asking me about Brave Halfling and what kind of product would come from this kickstart.
I told him that I've dealt with John before, and had conversations on the phone as well as exchanged e-mails. John is a solid guy and BHP is a solid company.
He said he was planning on becoming a $100-level "collector" in the kickstart so that he could get those extra modules at a really good price. He was planning on keeping one for hiimself and selling the rest in his store. If you have any contacts at your local game store, and if they show any interest in the DCC RPG, you might suggest this idea.

Re: Brave Halfling -- Adventure Toolkit product line
John,
When am I going to be able to buy these modules? The Ruins of Ramat has got great cover art, that calls out to investigate the module further.
