Charge into the exciting medieval world as a paladin of the great Charlemagne! Based on the award-winning game King Arthur Pendragon!
Hey folks, quick update.
Just rolled back into town after GenCon. We're sorting things out and reading all the comments we missed. Expect a bigger update tomorrow with some questions answered!
- The Nocturnal Media team
It's been a long campaign, and here we are in the last 48 hours!
Thank you to everyone for your support thus far! First, have some art!
Secondly, there were lots of questions while we were at GenCon (too many to keep track of), but we're going to attempt to answer them:
What comes with the dice?
Will the dice be available after the Kickstarter?
Will a $1 Pledge get me into the BackerKit?
Thanks folks! We're looking forward to the conclusion of this campaign and working to put this book in your hands!
Your Valor is proven, as we've unlocked another stretch goal! Everyone can gain a check to Passion (PALADIN Kickstarter) for your efforts and support!
Our Year 811 adventure, Huon's Quest is unlocked! Here's some information about it.
This quest is an adaptation from an original French thirteenth century epic called Huon of Bordeaux and Oberon the faery king (probably written between 1220 and 1260).
The scenario, divided in five separate adventures, is best suited for experienced players with reasonably powerful characters.
In addition to the four standard knightly passions, the quest contains both religious, romantic and fantastic elements, with Oberon the faery king distributing such magic items as an ivory horn of aid and a golden goblet of infinite draughts.
Giants must be fought and young damsel’s hearts may be conquered. The romantic pilgrimage leads the players through the exotic and mysterious lands of the Orient.
Although some fighting encounters occur, there are numerous occasions on which courtly conduct and skillful roleplay are far more likely to see the players through.
In the end, only true knights worthy of Charlemagne may win back the esteem of their wrathful emperor.
That sounds like a great adventure!
Later today, we'll be posting an update about the rules of PENDRAGON for those of you who have joined us on this journey as your first Quest! Expect that later today!
We've found further treasures! You'll see the stretch goal list on the main page has been updated with some new goals and goodies!
Let's talk a little about them:
$60,000 - Additional Dice
At $60,000, we'll be adding new dice as an add-on! We don't want to spoil the surprise yet, as we're still waiting on mock-ups, but these will be new add-ons to fill out your collection (and yes, they will make all of you very happy)!
Keep in mind they are an add-on, which means they'll require an additional amount of money, but we're working to keep it reasonable.
$65,000 - Additional Art
At $65,000 we will be increasing the amount of art in the books dramatically! We will commission new pieces, putting our artist to work illustrating this book with even more beautiful art. This will additionally increase the size of the book, which leads to our next stretch goal...
$70,000 - Splitting The Corebook into Two
At $70,000 we will split the massive tome of the corebook into two books! We'll create an index for each book and include references between both books in order to make it easy to use in play. The final split has not been determined yet, but this will have two major effects:
Now, you'll be getting both books for your pledge, so you're still getting the same great value!
As a note: Steve and Alan from Nocturnal Media will be at GenCon next week (and Alan is travelling to visit family starting the 11th, so he'll be updating you from the road as we continue forth)!
Thank you for all your support and we look forward to hitting these goals and increasing the quality of the book for all our backers!
Let's talk about the Stretch Goal everyone has been asking about!
The $60,000 stretch goal opens up some new add-ons! You'll be able to get a PALADIN d20 added to your pledge, and a KING ARTHUR PENDRAGON dice set too!
The PALADIN d20 will be a $5 USD add-on. We will have to have a whole new mold made for a custom d20 (not a simple process), and the symbol will replace the "1" on the d20. This means, for $10 USD you get the PALADIN d20 and 6d6! That's a pretty good deal! (Just like the one below.)
For the KING ARTHUR PENDRAGON dice, you'll be able to add $10 USD to your pledge and get a set of Pendragon dice that consists of one d20 and six d6s! They come as a bundle, so for every $10, you get a new set!
Remember, these aren't unlocked until we hit $60,000 (but if you want to add them in advance in order to help us make it, well that's a-ok by us)!
