As One Chapter Ends, Another Begins...
over 1 year ago – Wed, Aug 31, 2022 at 11:34:36 PM

We made it to the finish line.

Thank you, everyone, from the bottom of my heart.

That was... a fantastic first part of the journey.

What's next

We - me and Ayatee at Dragonshorn Studios and you, dear backers - first have to wait a bit. While Kickstarter processes your pledges, we will be setting up BackerKit surveys - but we can't send them before money lands on our account!

What we can do right now is start working on updated adventure text - which, knowing what should land in the adventure - we will do as soon as possible.  We also are already in talks with the artists for the interior book art (and you could even see some finished pieces already in the updates!) and have started talking with composers that will help bring the sounds of Coldstorm Valley to life. 

As soon as the Backerkit Survey lands and you respond, you will be able to get the original version of the adventure in your inbox!

What's down the line

We hope to have text, art, and digital versions ready by the end of October (which, of course, is subject to change if unexpected things happen).  In the meantime, we will most likely do a playtesting session based on the original version of the adventure (you will be able to mark it on the BackerKit survey if you want to grab it and help us with playtesting). After the art and updated text are ready, we will distribute the Digital Rewards for the campaign - PDFs, VTT Modules, and Interactive Books... and prepare for printing!

We will be in touch

We will keep you updated as we work on In the Court of the Frozen Queen! And keep an eye out for the BackerKit survey in your mailbox relatively soon!

A small note: if the bank's fraud control kicks in with a transaction from Poland and the amount you pledged, it's most likely us!

Stretch Goal Unlocked - Ambient Music!
over 1 year ago – Tue, Aug 30, 2022 at 06:17:07 PM

The second stretch goal has been unlocked - and we are over 300% funded with over 250 backers! Thank you for this incredible support!

Adventure Soundtrack

Sometimes the best way to elevate the scene more is music. We all experience that, be it in movies, games, or even in our daily lives. That is why we want to bring more music into the adventure - we want you to be able to use the soundtrack to help players navigate through the mysteries of the Tower of Oelk, feel the cold of the Coldstorm Valley, and be ready to fight the Queen in an epic battle!

Believe it or not, even the first release of the adventure was accompanied by a track. I was lucky enough to work with talented composer Filip Melvan, who wrote something that brings the feeling of cold and mystery of the Coldstorm Valley right into your heart. 

200 Backers, 5000 Euro, Oh My!
over 1 year ago – Sat, Aug 27, 2022 at 09:26:42 PM

When I woke up today, I could not believe it... with 96 hours left, we hit over 200 backers and 5000 euro! While still short of the next stretch goal, the amount of support you gave us is incredible! Thank you, everyone!

Ask Us (Nearly) Everything!

Wanted to know something about Dragonshorn Studios? Our backstory, our favorite fantasy book, or how much coffee I need to drink to get productive? Ask away in the comments, and we will try our best to answer!

(As always, we reserve the right not to answer a question... but that should not be a surprise)

7 days left + Art Preview (+ Creator Spotlight)
over 1 year ago – Wed, Aug 24, 2022 at 11:03:35 AM

Another few days have passed, and there are only (or still! depending on how you look at this) seven days left! I am thankful for the stream of support! There are still some stretch goals that we can unlock... and I have good feelings about that!

Art Preview

This time I wanted to share some art from the adventure! Some of it is still a work in progress, and some of it is already finished - but I am proud of every piece of art we have!

Creator Spotlight: Graveyard of the Gods by Sneak Attack Press 

Floating on the astral plane are the calcified bodies of gods long dead. Yet a spark of their divine power remains. These god corpses are rich in magical resources waiting to be plundered, but they also give rise to strange environments and dangerous monsters.

Our friends at Sneak Attack Press are running their Kickstarter for Graveyard of the Gods - an anthology of adventures for D&D 5e and Pathfinder 2e. Each set on the massive corpse of a dead god, these adventures favor exploration and wonder.
