I'm doing a Kickstarter! (My first!) It's a mini-adventure called Lair of the Battle Mage and it will be created to mimic the old school fanzines from the 70s and 80s. It will be photocopied pages, folded, stapled, and mailed out... all by hand. My hands! It's my nod to those old school gamers who provided the resources we needed back in the day when there really were no 3rd party publishers.
Here's the Kickstarter link:
kickstarter.com/projects/274951579/tavern-tales-1-lair-of-the-battle-mage-rpg-adventure-zine
I hope you'll consider becoming a backer! Be sure to read the Updates (always available to backers and non-backers) for my commentary and notes on how I'm prepping and building this thing. I want to document the process, so I hope you enjoy reading about it.
Thanks! - Jim, The Tabletop Engineer
