The Towering Fortress of Blackened Steel

In the nameless depths of a wind-swept desert whence scarlet cacti and leprous lichens thrive, there rises Towering Fortress of Blackened Steel, a place of danger and mystery. Intrepid adventurers may find themselves here whilst attempting to rescue Gunnhildr, the Sea-Wolf's Daughter. Illustration by Val Semeiks.

Night-Gaunt Shirts -- Now for Ladies and Men!
over 4 years ago – Fri, Aug 09, 2019 at 09:15:41 AM

Greetings friends,

As we head into single-digit days remaining for HYPERBOREA: Otherworldly Tales, I'd like to share some new developments for our recently unlocked shirt add-on, which will be available through Backerkit after the campaign is finished. 

As many of you know by now, we're doing something a bit different with our newest shirt: a baseball raglan (pre-shrunk polyester, cotton, rayon tri-blend). That's means a two-tone, ¾-length sleeve. The shirt features the frightening art of our newest artist, David Hoskins

This shirt will be available in two styles, Mens (Unisex) and Ladies. Check out the Ladies design!

And here is the Mens (Unisex) design:

AS&SH Mens (Unisex) Shirt
AS&SH Mens (Unisex) Shirt

Both shirts will be available in the following sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL.

Note: I hear that the unisex shirts run a little on the smaller side, so if you're not sure, for example, whether you are an XL or a 2XL, just go for the 2XL. 

Thank you for your support, my friends!

Cheers,

Jeffrey Talanian

The First 24 Hours!
over 4 years ago – Fri, Aug 02, 2019 at 10:08:13 AM

Greetings friends,

The first 24 hours of our Kickstarter campaign, HYPERBOREA: Otherworldly Tales, was a smashing success! 

  • Funded in 3 hours!
  • 200th backer at 12 hours!
  • First stretch goal achieved at 19 hours!

This amazing show of support has been truly humbling. Now we are working on unlocking our second stretch goal: a new shirt, available as an add-on purchase. 

This nightmarish shirt will be a tri-blend (cotton, polyester, rayon) baseball raglan featuring art by David Hoskins. If we can unlock it, it will be available for purchase through Backerkit after the campaign is over. 

Thank you, backers, for the incredible show of support! As I type this update, I see that we are up to 237 backers. Simply amazing! 

I am hopeful that we will keep a steady pace over the next four weeks, including a strong finish, but we're going to need your help! If possible, please mention the campaign at your favorite gaming forum, blog, or social media outlet (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.). Every little bit helps! Here is the short link: http://kck.st/2Yc4UQN

Again, thank you so much.  You're going to love these new adventure modules. I've certainly enjoyed running them at several conventions and for my home group. 


Cheers,
