This 100+ page hardbound book features 4 multipath adventures taking you from welp (zero level) to adulthood (first level) and beyond. Included is our one-of-a-kind card system jumpstarts play in minutes, not hours.
We want to create a 100-page + digest-sized hardbound book. As an exclusive gift to our backers, we will have them numbers based on the total number of backers. If we have 300 books backed you will receive a randomly numbered book from 1-300.
Featured in this book
4 multipath adventures ( 2x Zero Level Adventures and 2x First Level Adventures)
The quick play deck is designed to get your group playing these modules as fast as possible.
There are
25 - Zero-level random player cards for DCC and 5E. 80 - Random equipment cards.
The Funnel
The Game Master places the PC card's stats down on the table, and the players pick 5 cards at random. These represent the five zero-level characters they will use in one of the zero-level adventures included in the book. As they flip over the cards, the character stats will be revealed.
THE EQUIPMENT CARDS
The Game Master, the 80-card stats are down on the table. This represents the goblin king's hoard that he grants to whelps to aid in their coming-of-age trial. Each equipment card has a picture of it on the front, and on the back are the stats of the item. The goblin king doesn't expect many of you to live, so the items have some sort of flaw about them, but the players won't know what it is till after they pick the item and inspect it. But there is no time or orderly inspection; you are goblins after all. Because all items are on the table, the players are expected to make a mad dash for the items, some stealing from others while the goblin king counts down and the guards steal some for themselves. When he's done, so are you.
We set up an exciting campaign for our second one. The last one was awesome this one will be even better.
We have two types of stretch goals: the book track and the miniature track.
The book track is based on the total campaign pledge value at the time of close.
The miniature track is based on the number of backers for specific add-ons at the time of close.
As we pass each milestone we will open up an additional item you can add to your pledge or a new section to the book for free.
The Pledge Track
If we hit the following milestones at the fund collection portion of the campaign, we will offer the following.
$2,000 - We will offer the hardbound numbered book and quick play cards. $4,000 - a super cool Goblin Kings Gambit soft enamel pin addon. $5,000 - an additional 30+ pages focused on goblin rituals and magic to expand your game. $6,000 - more cloth map addons that can be used with the two first-level adventures in the book. $6,500 - a Goblin Town Expansion for your party to explore and use in an all-goblin campaign. $7,200 - Secret Stretch Goal - The First King creation myth, we'll add abilities for players and stat the god. $9,000 - 15+ Drag and drop locations for your players to interact with in your campaign. $11,000 - 30+ pages focused on the goblin race as an expansion to the other material. $13,000 - SPECIAL STRETCH GOAL $14,000 - A completely new second-level adventure.
If we hit $20,000 in total backing from the community at the time of collection, we will create an additional second and a new third-level adventure that will be told in the goblin halls for many generations. We know this is ambitious, but our writers and artists are ready to make this a reality for our backers. We will also give every backer a free mystery gift for making our dreams come true.
The Mini Track
We found an artist who could take 2D art and turn it into a 3D miniature. These will be STL files.
105 people back the troll mini addon, and we will make the hound minis available. 120 people back the hound's minis addon, and we will make the kid's minis available. 100 people back the kids' minis addon, and we will make the parent's minis available. 120 people back the parent's minis addon, and we will make the four halfling minis available.
WILL YOU HEED THE CALL OF THE GOBLIN KING AND TAKE HIS GAMBIT?
We love artists and want to support the community, so we guarantee none of our art is AI-generated. This means we pay our artists and writers before we get paid.
We backed some of the art before the campaign started because we know the process of getting these things done is time-consuming. Plus it looks super cool!
This loose band of misfits, vagabonds, artists, writers, and just cool people that team up from around the world to create gaming content for the TTRPG community. Our passion is to create something you can love to use at your table.
Our first project, It's a Thieves Life, featured a pickpocket deck paired with a digest-sized hardbound book. That campaign was a hit, and we are back at it, burning the midnight oil and crashing down the doors of yet another Backerkit campaign to make it happen once again.
We have an incredible campaign set up. Come join us!
