90+ battle maps for fantasy RPGs, inspired by the 5E adventures in One-Shot Wonders.
This post is for backers only. Please visit Kickstarter.com and log in to read.
Hi everyone,
Thanks to your incredible support, we have unlocked our fifth stretch goal, and the Map Library will now contain 90 maps.
In total, that's 30 extra maps added to our original plan. That means we're able to add tons more locations for the adventures in One-Shot Wonders. Some recent additions include:
If you can't wait to delve into some caves, don't forget to download our FREE sample one-shot and battle map. In 'Win or Ooze' (p.128), the party must source a sample of a rare ooze from a local landmark called the Crystal Caves, but, unknown to them, they aren't the only ones searching the caves.
We've smashed through all of our stretch goals, and we still have 17 days to go! With the Map Library now threatening to burst at the seams, our new set of extended stretch goals are all about celebrating and saying thank you.
So, for every £25k extra we raise, we'll do an early release of one of the maps we have developed for this project. Even better, the map released will be up to you!
Please DON'T leave your vote as a comment on this update or as a separate comment on the campaign page. ONLY replies to the original comment will be counted.
The vote will close if we hit our next stretch goal (£175,000). Then, we'll release the most popular map in a backer-only update shortly afterwards.
The first three maps to choose from are:
🪦 FROZEN GRAVEYARD (for use with 'Crossed Bones', p.12)
⛵ NAVAL SHIP (for use with 'Down at the Docks', p.32)
🪕 THEATRE CARAVANS (for use with 'Curtain Call', p.76)
These are all Level 1-2 adventures, the perfect starting point for new parties or beginner GMs. I can't wait to see which map you choose.
Until next time, get voting!
Sam.
Hello everyone!
We've done it again, the Map Library campaign has just smashed through another stretch goal, this time we've crossed off the Token Count Increase milestone. Keep reading for details on the Monster Tokens, as well as info about the next stretch goal: increasing the Map Library to 90+ maps!
Unlocking this stretch goal means our Monster Tokens set just got BIGGER. This gorgeous, portable alternative to minis now contains 100+ tokens, and is the perfect companion to your Map Library.
The sturdy laminated board tokens are 3mm thick and range from 1 inch to 4 inches in diameter, representing medium, large, huge and gargantuan creatures. There are 10 designs, representing everything from aberrations and beasts, to magic users and weapons wielders. The tokens are double-sided, with a different design on the reverse.
As well as the 100+ tokens, you get a foil-stamped storage box, screen-printed fabric bags to sort the tokens into, and digital versions of the tokens for use on VTTs.
80 tokens for medium creatures, like bandits, zombies and hags. The tokens are 1 inch diameter, with 16 of each double-sided design in the box. Great for a mass brawl!
20 tokens for large creatures, like elementals, dire wolves and griffons. The tokens are 2 inch diameter, with 4 of each double-sided design in the box.
5 tokens for huge creatures, like adult dragons, giants and dinosaurs. The tokens are 3 inch diameter, with 1 of each double-sided design in the box.
2 tokens for gargantuan creatures, like krakens, tarrasques and ancient dragons. The tokens are 4 inch diameter.
If you have backed at one of the CARTOGRAPHER'S HOARD pledge levels, the Monster Tokens are already included in your rewards with a 10–15% bundle discount.
If you haven't pledged at this level, and would love to get the Monster Tokens, you can either upgrade your pledge (click 'Manage My Pledge' on the main campaign page) or wait until the pledge managers are released shortly after the campaign closes and add them to your rewards for £25.00 ($30.00).
I can't believe I'm saying this with two thirds of the campaign still left to go, but our fifth stretch goal is now on the horizon! This will make the Map Library even bigger, and bring the total to 90 MAPS.
Next week, we'll be sharing more info on the maps that are already included in the collection, as well as the maps we hope to unlock with the next stretch goal.
Thank you to everyone who has joined us on this voyage. Let's keep sailing!
Did you spot One-Shot Wonders and the Map Library on Critical Role campaign 3 episode 85 yesterday? This was our fourth time sponsoring the show since Roll & Play Press launched 4 years ago, but this one was extra special, as Sam Riegel talked about how he uses One-Shot Wonders in his home games when he GMs for his family!
We absolutely love hearing how people use One-Shot Wonders. If you have any stories about how you've used it in your home games, drop us a comment below.
Have a great weekend,
Sam.
Hi everyone,
I hope you've had a great week so far. What an amazing first 10 days we've had for the Map Library campaign! We smashed through £100,000 funding, and have flown through our stretch goals. Here are a few exciting updates for you, as we sail towards the weekend.
By hitting our 70 MAPS and 80 MAPS stretch goals, we are adding another 20 maps to (what was an already epic) Map Library. Here are just some of the new maps we're adding:
For another list of new map additions, check out Update #4. We'll be sharing more about the Map Library's battle maps as the weeks go on, so watch this space!
When we hit our £70,000 stretch goal, we unlocked a new pin design! We've been converting the Owlbear artwork from a One-Shot Wonders illustration into a badge format, and we now have a 3D mock-up to show you.
I want all of these pins, and I want them now.
If you're backing at one of our CARTOGRAPHER'S HOARD pledge levels, all pins are already included in your pledge. They will also be available as add-ons in the pledge manager, after the campaign comes to a close.
The Map Library campaign has had such a great start, and has raised funding faster than any campaign we've ever done! We really want to thank you for being part of this campaign, and for being the reason our projects can come to life. So, we're going to extend the FREE Cartographer's Guild Coin (RRP £10.00) bonus that was live at the start of the campaign to all backers who have pledged for a Map Library so far!
It's a Kickstarter-exclusive, double-sided, golden coin for those all-important 50/50 death saves, or as a weight for your notes and maps. The coin has been really popular, so we thought it was perfect as a thank-you to everyone who supported us.
This bonus will also be extended to new backers as they join the campaign, while stocks last.
If you added the Cartographer's Guild Coin as an add-on to your pledge already in Kickstarter and don't want to receive two, head over to our campaign's main page, click on 'Manage My Pledge', and remove the add-on from your rewards.
Let me know what you think of the maps, pins and coins in the comments, we love hearing from you!
Until next time,
Sam.
