Last Chance!

We are so very very close to unlocking that 35k stretch goal of VTT support! Now's your last chance to get in on the kickstarter prices. We will have a backerkit pre-order store open up just following the campaign if you want to wait and see. The dice and pins won't be on there right away but we will keep you updated on that progress as well, don't worry!


Thank you all for the incredible journey it's been so far!

We have Less than 20 hours left!

As the campaign comes to a close we have a few hours left to push through to that VTT stretch goal. We're so close and it's well within our grasp with only a handful of backers needed to get there.  We are overjoyed with how well this campaign has gone and excited to start getting that extra content added to the book. We can't thank you all enough for sharing and talking about this project with your friends. You've helped us smash through many of our goals for the expanded content we wanted to include. Thanks again for all the support, we truly appreciate the support we've received.  We wanted to give you a couple of previews into things that we'll be offering after the campaign ends through our pledge manager and pre-order store. 

Don't these PDF renders look nice!

Dice Set!

We thought it would be really cool to have a dice set for Tavern Tales and have been vigorously researching on how to get it done. We've spoken with several manufacturers this month, and just ordered our first test molding batch today! So hopefully everything works out and we can show you even more in the next month! Below is a design we have been working on with our dice manufacturer, the dice in the image are not the final product but are the design we're hoping to replicate. We are going with gold inked numbers and the custom font in the template. As soon as we've approved a design the dice will be available in the pledge manager and pre-order store. Let us know what you think!

The dice pictured above are NOT representative of a final product.

Enamel Pin

We thought it would be fun to do a hard enamel pin feature the cute little owlbear cub we've been showing from the artwork so we've been looking for a good quality pin producer. We will be offering these adorable little cubs as well at the pledge manager and pre-order store.  This is the art we'll be using and as soon as we've got a demo we'll be sharing it with you.

We just received the new artwork for the subclasses you voted on and wanted to share it with you today!


Owlbear Tamer Rogue

First up we have the owlbear tamer ranger. I ranger who has devoted their study to bonding with one of the most dangerous creatures. Rearing these fearsome beasts from a young age into adulthood making them a lethal weapon, and sometimes cuddly pillow.  

Pact of Ink Warlock

Second up we have the Tattooed Wonder Warlock, or we've been playing around with Pact of Ink. This Warlock's bond with their patron takes the form of arcane markings all over their body allowing them to summon powers from these tattoos including a powerful capstone ability to summon an ink demon from the depths of the abyss.

A couple of spreads.

I wanted to show you another adventure title page and some of the crunchier bits of the layout as we continue on our journey together. The layout is still a work in progress but getting closer everyday.

The Cocktails IRL at A Trip Away Inn

As part of the physical menu we said we would be including instructions on how to cook, mix, or craft all the ingredients within the menu. Last week I took a stab at a couple of the cocktails we had our mixologist put together and they are delicious. 


Elven Aerialist

A perfectly strong drink that isn't overly sweet. Despite not having the proper cherries we pressed on and thoroughly enjoyed this gin, floral, and lemon delight. 

 Artwork by: Dina Cimarusti She is also an incredible SFX artist and Baker! Check out Sugar Moon Chi

Vorpal Sword Swallower

The perfect refreshment after a long arduous battle. The Vorpal Sword Swallower cuts right into your taste buds with a burst of hot spices and smoke from the mezcal, followed by a crackling lime and grapefruit finish. I will definitely be enjoying this drink year round.  

The Golden Feather

Our new friends at The Golden Feather gave us a lovely shoutout on their latest twitch stream, it is so lovely to see people excited for the book! They have some incredible content about the upcoming Ashes of Creation game as well as some curated info regarding content creators and the gaming community as a whole. Go check them out.
