Kickstarter - Original Adventures Reincarnated #7: Dark Tower

I must say, when Goodman Games puts together a Kickstarter, they go all out. Judging from the monies already raised in less than 48 hours - over $287k as I type this and still growing, the Original Adventures Reincarnated #7: Dark Tower Kickstarter is going to kick ass for the DCC RPG and 5e fans out there.

If you don't have a copy of the originals, this 3 volume set for $100 bucks is likely a bargain. Were I a DCC RPG player or D&D 5e gamer I'd likely be all in. I'm not sure I will personally pull the trigger on this as I have the originals, but it certainly is tempting.

Preorder - Original Adventures Reincarnated #6: The Temple of Elemental Evil

Back in my High School and College Days I ran "The Temple" as we called it, multiple times. It was simply fun and fairly self-contained and worked really well as a summertime diversion when there were no classes and few responsibilities to interfere with our D & D game time :)

Goodman Games is releasing the classic Temple of Elemental Evil as Original Adventures Reincarnated #6: The Temple of Elemental Evil. You get the original Temple, a 5e update, and so much more it literally takes up 2 full volumes.

Amazon is taking preorders for the Original Adventures Reincarnated #6: The Temple of Elemental Evil. It ships free via Prime for release on September 14th, 2022.

1. This is a massive slipcased, two-volume hardback collection! Weighing in at more than 8 pounds, the books include high-end touches like full-color endsheets, custom gatefolds, and sewn-in satin ribbon bookmarks!
2. The entire adventure is an homage to the origins of an adventure that began decades ago with T1: The Village of Hommlet and T1-4: The Temple of Elemental Evil.
3. Herein you will find high-quality scans from multiple printings of the original first edition adventure modules, plus commentary by gaming legends.
4. Full fifth edition conversions of both adventure books are included, as well as brand new adventure material adding new wilderness encounters, expanding the Village of Nulb, fully detailing the evil Elemental Nodes, and providing fifth edition updates of many original magic items, monsters, and spells.
5. This is a fully playable mega-dungeon and mini-campaign—many hours of classic-style adventure await you!

New - Castle Amber is the 5th Volume In the Goodman Games Original Adventures Reincarnated Line

Somehow I missed the announcement of the 4th volume in the OriginalAdventures Reincarnated Line (The Lost City) - Tenkar

You’ve speculated. You’ve wondered. You’ve waited. Now you get an answer.

Coming this September, Goodman Games will release Original Adventures Reincarnated #5: Castle Amber.

Intended for levels 3 through 7, Castle Amber was the adventure that launched the Mystara campaign setting and was the second adventure for the D&D Expert Set.

Here’s some text from the back cover:

They fled from the far-flung land of Averoigne: the Amber family, a bloodline of wizards and warriors persecuted for their dark sorcery and occult crimes. In their new world, they built a lavish manor for themselves, the fabulous Castle Amber. For a time, the Ambers flourished, their magical and military might having little equal. Then, however, jealousy and murder struck the heart of the family and the Curse of Stephen Amber descended upon the castle like a fell and heavy hand. Now, the Ambers dwell beyond space and time, imprisoned with their monstrously transformed servants and suffering under the family’s dead patriarch’s death-sent doom.

It is into this mad manor that the party awakens, plucked from their homeworld and imprisoned in the heart of Castle Amber. To escape, the heroes must negotiate a path through the insane Amber family home, overcoming the clan’s machinations, dangerous servants, cunning traps, and bizarre phenomena. Only by finding a way to break the Curse of Stephen Amber will the party be able to return home. Failure means a lifetime of imprisonment in Castle Amber, a place where lifetimes can be very short indeed…

Within its pages, you will find high-quality scans of the original first edition adventure module, plus commentary by renowned contemporary game designers and writers. A full fifth edition conversion of the original adventure is included, as well as brand new additional adventure encounters and an expanded Castle Amber.

The 5E translation is an homage to the original module X2: Castle Amber, as converted by Michael Curtis and Tim Wadzinski. The original module was written by beloved game designer Tom Molday in 1981 and partially inspired by the writings of acclaimed weird fiction author Clark Ashton Smith. Both the original module and OAR #5 feature cover artwork by Erol Otus.

This is the perfect old-school “funhouse dungeon” given new life for the fifth edition era. Won’t you please come in? The doors to OAR #5: Castle Amber open up in September.
