Kickstarter - Tome of Horrors: Enemies of the Valiant (TotV and 5e)

Ah, the OGL debacle from earlier this year. It was a scary time. It was a beautiful time. It was nice to see third-party publishers pulling together for the common good. One of the more direct results of the OGL drama was Kobold Press's Tales of the Valiant (even though the seeds to TotV were planted last summer).

Many third-party publishers are still wary of supporting D&D 5e directly, but with Tales of the Valiant, they can support 5e and a capable system that they will never lose access to.

Which brings us to Tome of Horrors: Enemies of the Valiant. Written for both TotV and 5e, Enemies of the Valiant brings creatures from recent Frog God Games and Necromancer Games releases (as well as totally new adversaries) under a single cover. PDF is 25 bucks, Hardcover is 45 (POD is available for overseas backers)

In our latest bestiary, Frog God Games and Necromancer Games brings a host of creatures to Core Fantasy Roleplaying, the new 5e-compatible system from Kobold Press.  This massive collection of more than 200 creatures includes several thematic sections, including class-based characters (NPCs), Winter Holiday Specials, and creatures from Tehuatl (a South American-themed locale), along with the main volume of creatures large and small (and gargantuan and …).  None of these creatures have been published in our previous Tome of Horrors collections, and all are freshly written using the most updated guidelines from the Core Fantasy Roleplaying ruleset provided by Kobold Press.

Kickstarter - Tales of the Valiant RPG: Launching Black Flag Roleplaying

The heart of 5th Edition: core rules for high fantasy games, including a Monster Vault and a Player's Guide to power your campaign!

I guess Kobold Press heard some of the complaints about leaving "the Blag Flag" behind because the current Kickstarter is fully titled Tales of the Valiant RPG: Launching Black Flag Roleplaying.

Yep, Tales of the Valiant (not a title I personally would have chosen for an RPG that didn't directly involve Print Valiant, but I digress) is currently kicking ass and chewing gum at the same time - in less than a half a day it has raised OVER $435k in funding, with 30 days to go.

What is Tales of the Valiant RPG: Launching Black Flag Roleplaying? It is Kobold Press' version of D&D 5e and the company's way of ensuring they have a system to support far into the future. I expect many of the current/recent producers of third-party content for 5e will shift to support Tales of the Valiant directly.

Tales of the Valiant (ToV) keeps all the best of 5E D&D and adds a Kobold Press spin to the well-loved game. It combines the Creative Commons foundation of 5th Edition with new elements to create a powerful Kobold-style 5E with teeth. 

New 5E Options. Of course, ToV includes the fighter, wizard, and rogue, and dwarves and elves. Much more than that, it provides a wealth of new options and expanded gameplay. Explore the new Mechanist class and try out the kobold, outsider, and beastkin character lineages. Tales of the Valiant provides hundreds of new options for talents, spells, and monsters.

Early Access to Private Playtests. Backers get two exclusive playtest packets containing new classes and new creatures not available to the public until later.

Create Your Own World and Share Your Adventures. Tales of the Valiant is built on the Creative Commons and Open Roleplaying Content licenses, so the core rules are available for everyone to expand on as part of the 5E global community. Keep your investment in 5th Edition going strong!

Retain Compatibility with 5E Tradition. While ToV brings new options, its roots are familiar. Play any 5E adventure with creatures and spells from Tales of the Valiant—and keep the best of both worlds at your table!
