Kickstarter - Arduin's Portal to Adventure

A few quick things. I'm a huge fan of Arduin - not to run as is, but to use it for inspiration in my creations. It's simply fun and gonzo. I'm a huge fan and friend of the Emperor's Choice Games guys. Such solidly good gamers and people. My name is Tenkar, and I'm a Kickstarter addict ;)

Arduin's Portal to Adventure Kickstarter is more than just Arduin. It's also Barrows & Borderlands, gonzo science fantasy. And it's Lost Dungeons of Tonisborg, one of the oldest dungeons in gaming.

It's going to take me a while to figure out the level I am backing, as there are literally a plethora of choices. It's all good stuff though ;)

A Treasure Hoard of Old School Gaming! Starting with a awesome custom box to fit all the cool items you get in this bundle! You start off with getting the other two Rewards in the Kickstarter; Digital - PDFs of the Core Volumes! and The Legendary Arduin Trilogy Box Set Limited Edition!

Deal of the Day - FlexTale Campaign Generator

Want some of the best campaign tables short of using AI - correction, probably better than AI at this time? Today's Deal of the Day is FlexTale Campaign Generator. Usually $19.99 in PDF, until tomorrow morning, Flextale Campaign Generator is on sale for $11.99

Summary

• Run an entire campaign from one book with zero prep! 
• Use this book to generate entire fantasy tabletop roleplaying campaigns.  With no advance planning.  With any rules system.  For solo or traditional gaming tables.
• Simply put: If you are playing, or plan to play, any sort of fantasy tabletop roleplaying game, this book will help you.  

Version 2.1 August 2025

I've added a TON of new content to the book, by popular demand:

• Another 35 NEW generator tables and tools, focusing on campaign management, worldbuilding, and dungeon generation.
• 96 high-resolution dungeon map images for creating your own dynamic dungeons.
• An Excel file containing EVERY one of the 226 generators in this book, and each of the 2,500+ results the book describes.

What is This Thing?

• It's over 200 generators, each one linking to others in an accessible, easy-to-use manner.  Roll a d12, or a few d12s, and you have your content.
• Use on its own.  Use it with other FlexTale books.  Use it with your homebrew tools.  Use it with other third-party books or lists.  Use it with officially-published content.  
• However you want to use it, the FlexTale Campaign Generator will help you.  Period.

A True Campaign Generator

• Not just 200+ lists of things.  “100 examples of X” tools aren’t unique. 
• Some are ultra specific, meaning it’s unlikely you’d ever use the same result more than once. 
• Others are far too vague, giving time pressed DMs little to latch onto creatively.
• The lists in this book aren’t 100 long, but the dozen results for each table are carefully curated to be engaging and easy to use balance in complexity, specificity, and context.
• Every result should be usable in every campaign, and adaptable to every context.
• Quality over quantity in results is the focus here.

Major Topics

• Each of these concepts gets its own section, with a dozen or more generators.
• Campaigns & Worldbuilding: 32 generators (new!)
• Quests: 57 generators
• NPCs: 23 generators
• Overland: 36 generators
• Encounters: 27 generators
• Factions: 5 generators
• Magic: 24 generators
• Rewards: 16 generators
• Penalties: 10 generators
• Utility: 8 generators
• Dungeon Generation: 3 generators (new!)
• Designed with Solo in Mind

The FlexTale Campaign Generator has been designed at every level to fuel exciting, engaging, and surprising solo adventuring.  Arguably the biggest challenge for any solo player is how to maintain the element of surprise--how can you be shocked, inspired, or excited about twists and turns that you yourself created?

Onward!

Ah, Traveller 2300. I owned many of the titles in the series, but never had the opportunity to run it back in the day. I really should snag this just for a reading opportunity.

Traveller 2300 is currently on sale as a bundle on Fanatical. For $1, you can grab the core rules and the Ranger supplement. Your $8.99 gets you a total of 21 releases in the Traveller 2300 line (a much better deal than the average Humble Bundle ;)

Did I mention fulfillment is via DTRPG? Now, that's solid!
