Last Call For Adventure in the Old Margreve Forest!
The Tales of the Old Margreve Kickstarter is nearly complete. With less than a week left until its conclusion, this is your last chance to get the special edition book and have your pledge contribute to stretch goals. And O, by all the gods of Midgard, what splendid stretch goals there are!
We've surpassed 1,000 backers, and your support has added monsters, locations, and encounter—and we'd like add more. However, we need your help to do it. Check out all the Old Margreve details below—and remember, you can use these adventures in any ancient forest in any campaign setting, in Midgard, the Forgotten Realms, or your own setting.

5th Edition roleplaying adventures in the deep and menacing forest, for PCs level 1 to 10
Forests in fantasy roleplaying games are dark places, full of secrets. With this project, we bring the Old Margreve to the 5th Edition of the world's most popular RPG. The Margreve is an ancient, enchanted forest that defends itself from those who come to cut its timber, poach its creatures, or steal its magic. Within its borders the Old Ways are strong, the word of the druids carries great weight, and griffons, dragons, and stranger creatures nest and hunt, undisturbed by humans, dwarves, or other lordlings.
Until your adventuring party shows up. Then things get really interesting.
Tales of the Old Margreve is filled with new adventures, encounters, monsters, and everything you need to make a memorable 5th Edition campaign. Whether your campaign is set entirely in the forest, or simply takes a brief detour there, this book will help your wilderness adventures thrive!

- The Adventures! The Tales of the Old Margreve adventure campaign hardcover for the GM.
- A Player Resource. The Margreve Player's Guide softcover gives players knowledge and resources that will help them navigate the lightless paths and fey-haunted glades of this ancient forest. New races and new magic for new characters steeped in forest ways!
- Miniatures (Unlockable Only!) If we unlock this stretch goal (and we're close!), the campaign will get a set of thick cardboard standups, the Margreve Pawns—similar to those created for Tome of Beasts and the Creature Codex.
But that's not all! More than a dozen stretch goals unlock new adventures, monsters, maps, and more. Some will increase the size of the campaign book (making it an even better deal), and some expand the Player's Guide!

In the end, some experiments are interesting but not successful. For this Kickstarter we'd planned to focus on print and VTT; but the backer support for PDF is too huge to ignore. So Tales of the Old Margreve now includes manynew PDF options.
|
|
Our goals are primarily about improving the books by adding new material to the adventures, expanding the lore of the deep forest, and providing more player options.
That said, we also have several big goals to unlock: a poster map of the forest village that appears in several adventures, the set of custom pawnsmentioned above, and more announced as the campaign goes into the final days.
Over the past three weeks, we've unlocked 7 incredible stretch goals, adding additional content to the Tales of the Old Margreve adventure book and theMargreve Player's Guide. Every stretch goal makes these books thicker!
Here are the goals we've already achieved, thanks to our backers:

Yes, you read that right. Dennis Sustare, the original creator of the D&D druid class, has created a new druid circle and new druid items and accouterments to make life as a druid even more exciting.Read his update about the druidic Circle of Oaks!

These recently unlocked stretch goals are incredible, but there are still more mysteries to uncover. Here are three more stretch goals we're trying to unlock right now!

The secrets of the Old Margreve are deep and dark, and the hidden depths of the Tales of the Old Margreve Kickstarter campaign are far from fully revealed. Keep an eye out on the Kickstarter page (and on our social media and future Kobold Couriers) for more as we navigate to this forest's heart.
