The Backerkit is now fulfilling your digital files. :) You should receive an email from the site if you haven't already, with your links to download. You can also find these with the same survey link or logging into your BK account if you made one. Enjoy the islands!
My next project is a Back-to-School special, just £1 for a whole heap of roll tables to create some more odd and strange gear. This one is designed for DMs to give some fun things to newbies, to low level players who can't yet get common items, or just to throw little trinkets at higher level players.
- Written with 5e/2024 items and features in mind
- 11 Different roll tables, all with multiple roll selections
- With items for magic users, fighting classes, and the odd-balls like monks or warlocks
- Fully illustrated pages
- PDF in A4 and A5 'zine format - ready to print
- JUST £1
Surveys are out!

hello all, keep an eye on those emails - you should be receiving an email from Backerkit with your backer survey. In a couple days I'll also start distributing the digital files through Backerkit as well. They are all digital downloads so you'll be able to get them after the survey (looking to hit the distribute button on Friday) and of course keep access to the files through Backerkit.
And there's a special MOVING SALE! The Baroness is moving house and those PDFs take up so much shelf space, so every project I've done is just £1 for a very limited time - plus an extra little freebie for everyone
Quick note: You do not need to make a Backerkit account to complete your survey. It can be nice to have if you're planning on backing a few projects, but isn't required. If you miss the survey email or misplace it you can always go to the link below and entering your Kickstarter email address:

Thanks you all so much for the support - 3 Islands finished last night successfully!
Now I'm setting up the BackerKit so be on the lookout for your surveys this week. For my new "crew" you'll also have a question about your ship rank and name :) And in case you missed anything, all my previous D&D adventures and goodies will also be available with the Backerkit survey. (no pressure!)

Until then, enjoy a couple more fun projects from more indie creators:
First, I accidentally shared Cave Gaming's desert biomes after it finished. OOPS! But never fear, I'm pretty sure he doesn't sleep so now you can see his.... VOLCANOES!
Descend into the molten heart of the world with Biomes of Maksur: Volcanoes, a 5e-compatible resource that brings volcanic adventures to life with rich lore, brutal hazards, and powerful relics forged in flame.
What’s Inside?
Volcano Survival Mechanics, a Volcanic Dwarven Stronghold, Excerpts from the Codex Magma, Ruakaze stat block, some Magic Runes and mechanics to forge your own.
STL Add-On!
We are partnering with Stormcrow to bring you beautifully detailed miniatures of a Volcanic Dwarf and the fearsome Ruakaze!
Stretch Goals:
Interesting Locations Table, New Player Lineage & Background, Expanded Art Package

And here's a new-to-me creator, Ava's Adventures, with random goodness! I love me some random encounters and content :)
For tabletop roleplaying games, random encounters are an essential tool to transition from one
important scene to another. However, implementing them can leave Game Masters lost as to
how.
Designed to provide comprehension and depth to random traveling encounters, this
Compendium of 17 Comprehensive Encounters helps ease the burden of running random
encounters in any fantasy tabletop roleplaying game.
Back the Kickstarter today!
3 days and 4 beasties, maybe 5?

So a recently post about the bonus beasties got some attention this week. You never know what will draw people to the campaign!
Sometimes an adventure catches someone's eye, sometimes a cool boat, and sometimes a silly seal! Actually, I have to admit my silly seals do get a lot of attention. The local seals here in Scarborough (at the Sea Life Centre) are named Mando, Pendle, Ed, and Boo (the smallest!). They are my inspiration for all my seals both in adventures and in my 'real' art sketchbook. They are common seals and live here because they would not survive in the wild. The Centre does also rescue and release wild seals throughout the year, but these four are a bit stupid, a bit overgenerous with their food (one will give his fish to seagulls), and/or too small.
What kind of special seal would you like to see in the adventure? Maybe I can add one more!
Keep sharing, it all helps so much :)
And here's...

We now have a wee video... the seagulls took a while to learn how to use Express. They did do all the voiceover themselves though! Sadly no seagulls included with the adventure rewards - they don't travel well through fibre broadband, feathers cause lag.
If you'd like to share the video please do - every click helps :) Here's the social link: https://www.facebook.com/grejink/videos/24556636683933531
and now for....
* Another Project I Love *
By a repeat favourite maker Cave Gaming! They just keep making great environments. This time your party is heading to the sands... in Biomes in Maksur: Deserts
"Ah! Come, come, honored friend! Yes, you with the cautious eyes and the dust still clinging to your boots! You’ve the look of a caravan guard, or at least one who ought to be. Nabil Basim knows the type. Nabil Basim was the type! Thirty-seven years under the sun, blade in one hand and merchant’s coin in the other. Ha! You learn quick when your life depends on spotting trouble two dunes away. But now, now I sell something far better than polished steel..."
