Final 24 Hours
about 1 year ago – Mon, Feb 10, 2025 at 10:28:58 AM

Hey followers!

If you're following along, we're now in the final 24 hours! As previously stated, everything is done and ready to go. So as soon as you sign up and the campaign is funded around the 27th, we'll send out the links for the Pledge Managers. After a two week grace period, we'll charge and then you'll get the PDFs followed shortly by shipping notifications for physical backers. 

I plan to post all notifications of shipped goods so you know the status in case anything gets hung up in customs/tarrifs, etc.

So make sure you back soon if you want to grab a hold of this book!

Later!

Stretch Goaly-Goal
about 1 year ago – Sun, Feb 09, 2025 at 09:15:53 AM

Hey friends,

Call it a stretch goal if you will, but I've decided that for all of you who backed this campaign, I will automatically share with you the next Broadsword Guide (coming in April) PDF for FREE!

What is the next Broadsword Guide? Glad you asked!



Dead things, Mikey. Dead things.

Note that this isn't completed yet, but will be by around late March to April. In the meantime, you'll be getting everything else that you paid for (and any extras I feel like giving you) shortly after the Pledge Manager opens.

Enjoooy!

Well dang... here's another FREE adventure for yas
about 1 year ago – Mon, Feb 03, 2025 at 08:23:30 AM

This is an oldie but a goodie.

It took me about two days to go back through it and proof it (for like, the fourth time). I just finished it up last night and have it all reformed.

This is an adventure I hold near and dear to me.

Plus, it's a part of this campaign:

It's QUEEN OF THE SHADOWS...

A 5th-level adventure featuring love, betrayal, revenge, and a whoooole lot of undead.

https://www.patreon.com/posts/121411571

This is one of my larger adventures; it's got 50 pages of content. All of it is free, although I did omit the maps (it took me a few days to recreate Tom's maps, but don't worry, I gave links to Tom's versions).

Anyways, enjoy!

And if you haven't already, back this darn pre-order campaign!

The Best of DMDave - Shrine of the Emperor of Bones (FREE)
over 1 year ago – Thu, Jan 30, 2025 at 07:17:34 AM

So this is going to sound weird.

I've been thinking for a while about how to make my business more "modern."

It's a weird idea, but here goes...

What if I just gave away some of my digital stuff for free?
 
I mean, I've got tons of it. And let's face it... we all need a little bit of escapism right now.

Now, sure, sure... I want your support. After all, I've got employees to pay (I honestly couldn't gaf about my own paycheck, but the wife likes paying the mortgage), and I really like these folks I've got working here. So if you want to support us, that would be great. I'm going to be writing no matter what.

Anyways, where was I?

Ah yeah. FREE stuff.

Today, I've decided to release SHRINE OF THE EMPEROR OF BONES as a free module. You can get the print version on here. It's very pretty and printed in the US.

You'll need to access it via my Patreon. If you're not already a Patron, no worries—no sign-up is required.

Anyway, this is my way of giving back. I'm pretty exhausted from all the song and dance and marketing nonsense. 

(Yes, I know this is a form of marketing called "Permission Marketing", but cut me some slack, pal.)

Enough ranting. Here's the link:

Thanks again!

The Best of DMDave - Werewolf Village
over 1 year ago – Wed, Jan 29, 2025 at 08:07:53 AM

Hey friends! Thanks everyone for backing so far!

Great news, we've got an awesome little treat for you all. The entire WEREWOLF VILLAGE adventure is FREE to download. If you like it, you can purchase the physical copy here on the site.

==

Werewolf Village is a tense, paranoia-fueled mystery adventure set in a snowbound, isolated hamlet where trust is fleeting, and survival is uncertain. As a brutal blizzard rages, the villagers huddle together in fear—one of them is a monster, but no one knows who. The party arrives just in time to find themselves trapped in the icy grip of a growing hysteria, where every accusation could be a desperate plea or a calculated deception. Will they uncover the truth before the beast strikes again, or will the paranoia tear the village apart before the werewolves even finish the job?

Designed for Fifth Edition and scalable across multiple levels, Werewolf Village is a self-contained horror mystery perfect for one-shots or a chilling side quest in an ongoing campaign. The adventure unfolds over a single harrowing night, where players must investigate cryptic clues, navigate shifting suspicions, and survive an inevitable, bloody confrontation. Featuring dynamic NPCs, randomized werewolf identities, and multiple endings, every playthrough is a unique nightmare. The storm is closing in, the full moon is rising, and the hunt has already begun.
