Latest Updates from Our Project:

Final Week Update!
about 4 years ago – Tue, Feb 18, 2020 at 09:11:01 PM

Hello, all the wonderful and amazing backers of Niwri's Marvelous Menagerie of the Multiverse and we would like to personally thank each and every single one of you for supporting our project. All thanks to you wonderful backers we have achieved some amazing steps:

  • 400% Funded
  • 550 Backers
  • Dungeon Stretch Goals Unlocked 
  • Dungeon Map Art Unlocked 
  • Animal Artwork Unlocked
  • Subclass Unlocked 
  • 5 Backer Voting Polls Unlocked

This update is focused on the final push of the Kickstarter before the 48-hour mark as well as to give some short announcements, and as always check out the update outline to see the quick synopsis about the update. e want to ensure that everyone knows how much much we appreciate every single backer. 

If you like the addition of the update outlines let us know what you think? We think they help backers know really quickly what is in the update and how to find what is important to them but if no one is seeing the utility in them, then we shall stop doing them. 

This part of the update is in regards to how the funds raised are going to be used to make the book as beautiful as we can. A whole lot goes into this process as some of you may or may not know and at times it is a bit overwhelming as a backer or even as a content creator. Yet, we are getting rather experienced at this part of the process and are confident on the fund distribution and being able to make the book one that will make your collection even better.

The above chart is a loose distribution of the funds and how they will be spent on this project and as you can see we are putting a major chunk into making the book beautiful with lots of artwork.

  •  Art - The cost of the plant art, section art, clip art, cover pages, and other art pieces
  •  Fees - Kickstarter & Backerkit both collect a good-sized chunk of the money raised. 
  •  Printing - The physical printing of all the copies of the books
  •  Editing - An A+ class editor has to eat as well and a portion of the funds are used to pay him
  •  Plushie - The manufacturing cost of the minimum needed amount of Kickstarter exclusive plushies
  •  Shipping - The cost of getting the books to us but not shipped to you which is collected later
  •  Other - The general cost of a few other things like legal costs, advertising, and more

We hope this helps you see where we are taking this project and how each and every dollar will be used and any funds that do not yet have a home will find one in the book.

So, we have unlocked four stretch goals so far and we are confident on hitting the addition of the animal-based race added at 30k. The addition to the amazing artwork at the 15k mark really makes the book a wonder to behold. Yet, we really want to see us hit the 50k mark and we know you backers want the same!

This mark unlocks another 50 pages of content plus new artwork for 50 additional animals! We'll be bringing at least one of each of the mammals, birds, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and arthropods on board. Backers will get to vote on what other animals to include: there are a ton of animals out there and thus plenty of options.

  •  10 Beasts of Burden - the working animals of the realms.
  •  10 Pack Animals - animals that work as a team to survive.
  •  10 Domesticated Animals - the ones we keep closest to us in our homes.
  •  10 "Lightless" Animals - animals that spend most of their time in the dark reaches of the realms
  •  10 Magic Born - animals that owe their existence to magic and a magical world.

So let us get these animals that yall have been wanting for Niwri's Marvelous Menagerie of the Multiverse unlocked and officially added to the book. As with the animals before they will be fully detailed and illustrated by our wonderful artist Paul -  CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT HIS INSTAGRAM 

I know quite a few of you have asked to have more animals added and we are not opposed to creating more animals for you all. Yet, we need to have reasons to do so and we have been promoting like crazy to get all the content we can for you all. Also, there is more content than just a stat block and a piece of art for each one of these animals. There are 1000 to 1500 words of text for every single one of these animals, a stat block, and of course a beautiful piece of artwork. We say this because this menagerie is about quality of quantity and at 50k we unlock 50 more animals as it is.

That being said we want to at least give it a shot to give you all that you are asking for. So if we hit $40,000 in one week from today then we will add 12 more animals to the book (2 animals for each of the sections of mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and arthropods).

You can share on any social media to help us with our continued funding! 

We have a very special animal preview to show off to you, and it comes from a young lady whose parents loved our project and supported it. This is the kind of thing that we love to be able to do and as a father, I personally think kids that play at our tabletops are truly unique kids. This young lady is 5 years old and fell in love with the idea of all the amazing animals that are coming in Niwri's Marvelous Menageries of the Multiverse that she came up with her very own creation. We were so flattered that we are going to add her creation to the book as a special animal of Niwri's collection. The below content is the wonderful creation of hers and of course with her parent's help and permission. 

Crystal Raptor - Rapinyaire Cristall

Crystal Raptors, as they are commonly called despite not being either an airborne raptor or a dinosaur of any kind, are exceedingly rare but I have dedicated myself to collecting as much information on them as I can and, after sifting through the reports and taking my own notes, I have put together here what is known and what is assumed about them.

Size: Due to the rarity of sightings, it is difficult to get an exact idea of how large these creatures can grow. It is clear they start out as small when they hatch from their eggs, which are no larger than the average orc’s fist. I have collected reputable reports of these creatures of varying heights up to feet tall. This does not include the length of their tails as they are not amenable to holding still for measurements.

Color: The crystalloid hides of these creatures seem to be able to take on any number of hues. My best hypothesis is that it varies based on their diets, as the biggest variations seem to be in Raptors from different biomes. What is interesting is that their eyes are always reported to be an opalescent white color, although it is usually only a glance that is caught before the creature disappears.

Distinguishing Features: The first thing that stands out about the physicality of the Crystal Raptor is its hide. Appearing to be made up of some sort of crystalloid it moves like a reptile’s skin. It catches the sunlight and refracts rainbow patterns all around it during the daytime. The unique eyes point forward like a predator and appear to be as accurate at narrowing in on the smallest detail as any airborne raptor. Both the arms and feet of the Crystal Raptor end in large digging claws much like a Komodo Dragon. Larger, and presumably older, specimen seem to develop jutting crystal formations all over their bodies. These are usually uniform in color and the best explanation I’ve heard for these is that it represents a separate developmental phase in life than the others. There are only a handful of accounts of these I have found though and all second-hand at best involving vague tales of the creature disappearing from plain sight.

Locomotion: Crystal Raptors stand upright on powerful back legs, much like a kangaroo’s, although thicker and without a kangaroo’s long flat feet. They instead appear to almost walk on the long digging claws that their feet end with. They use these strong legs to run incredibly fast as well as jump surprisingly far. This helps them as their instinct seems to be to flee any kind of confrontation.

Food Source: From all reports, Crystal Raptors seem to consume, well, crystals. Their diet consists of gems, crystals, and even certain kinds of raw ore. Their long-curved claws are ideal for digging these out of the ground. Teeth recovered from a rare successful hunting party show that they are mostly flat with sharp edges and comprised of a material much like a diamond.

Uses: Unfortunately, one of the reasons these creatures are so rare is that this hide is widely sought after by those that know it exists. It is said to be nearly impenetrable while still being as light as leather and is rumored to possess some ability to subvert psychic powers.

Habitat & Origin: Generally found in mountainous areas or deep forests near underground caverns. They do not appear to need any source of water or expel any kind of waste. Because of this, some experts hypothesize that these creatures just keep growing larger indefinitely throughout their lives.

No one knows for sure where Crystal Raptors come from. Some swear they are a fey creature, some claim they came up from deep underground, and some claim their strange behavior with the moon is because they came from there.

Behavior: They center their territory on the highest point open to the sky in a mineral-rich area. There they store their favorite gems and crystals in a tall cairn-like tower. There are stories, completely unsubstantiated, of Crystal Raptors performing leaping dances in the moonlight around these piles. Regardless of the veracity of these claims, it is true that the only place that Raptor eggs have been discovered is within such a pile just after a full moon.

Interaction with Humanoid: When confronted with a potential predator or something new, this creature’s instinct is to run away. If it is cornered, it will attack with incredible ferocity and usually prevail. Its teeth made for crushing minerals makes short work of soft fleshy threats. Those who have tried to charm or capture one with magic quickly find that something about its crystalloid composition renders its mind completely immune to being affected by those kinds of magic or powers. This may be what leads to the rumors that armor of its hide will convey resistance to the wearer.

I think Sarah McDowell did a great job and we should applaud her for being brave enough to come up with such a creation and a bright future in all things is ahead of this young lady. Also, a special thank you for her parents for helping her outline her idea and place it into our outline format.

So we also wanted to show the custom drawing from Sarah McDowell:

We will, of course, take her inspiration and have it done in the art style more fitting for the book but overall we cannot complain about the hard work this young lady came up with. The very supportive parents even took her to the local zoo so she could be inspired and learn about the animals of our real world. This was very important to us because we want all our animals to feel as if they could exist in the real world but just be fantastical enough for one to know they could never truly exist. 

We have found our artist for the LIMITED EDITION COVER and she is just as brilliant as our other artists who are involved in this project!

The limited-edition cover to us has to be perfect for both us and those who are supporting at that level. A limited run of only 100 of these covers will ever be issued with each of them being serial numbered by there order of print. We have been searching for the artist that fit both our style and also had art that was stunning. This wonderful artist spends on average 60 hours on every art piece she does and we cannot wait to see what she does for this very exclusive version.

As a backer at the Limited Edition Level, you and your fellow backers of this level will have the ability to choose the direction in which we go with your exclusive cover. This was simply because we felt that it was very important for you backers who backed at the highest level to have a hand in the creation of the cover art. 

 We always like to co-share other campaigns especially with smaller companies or individuals like us! This helps spread the word about campaigns we like and also spread our campaign to people that may not have heard about us just yet but we feel like you might have heard of this one.

"Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is an indirect sequel to the successful CRPG game Pathfinder: Kingmaker, based on the tabletop game of the same name. Being made by the same developer, Owlcat Games, that works closely with Paizo and Chris Avellone, it is going to be an epic adventure in which players rise to power as one of six Mythic character types: the benevolent Angel, the ravaging Demon, the powerful Lich, the cunning Trickster, the lawful Aeon, and the rebellious Azata. 

Every choice made during the adventure will allow players to align themselves with a specific Mythic Path. Becoming one of these unique beings greatly impacts the main narrative, grants distinct abilities and affects a character’s appearance."

We want to offer every backer the chance to  SUBMIT AN ANIMAL that is not to say that we will be using it for this project or any others, but as many brains, as we can get on this project the better it will become. So, click the link below and give us your best and if we do end up using your animal for any reason you will, of course, be credited and emailed with the details of it being used. 

 https://www.deepdungeongames.com/kickstarter 

Do not forget that you can get a custom plushie of the Decuriel Glider that will only ever be offered on this Kickstarter. They have officially started on the prototype and we are excited to start getting pictures of this little guy! 

Yes, you will be able to get it through the survey and Backerkit, but the cost will be dependent on how many backers support at the Kickstarter exclusive plush level. We always want to keep the cost down but it will at least be 5 to 10 dollars more expensive through the survey.


Thank you all again!

$30,000 - New Races Added - locked ❌

Even more concept and lore for the Marvelous Menagerie. Introducing the Blood Elf, lLandoran, and Yansai! Backers will get to vote to see which race makes it through to completion.

I know quite a few of you have asked to have more animals added and we are not opposed to creating more animals for you all. Yet, we need to have reasons to do so and we have been promoting like crazy to get all the content we can for you all. Also, there is more content than just a stat block and a piece of art for each one of these animals. There are 1000 to 1500 words of text for every single one of these animals, a stat block, and of course a beautiful piece of artwork. We say this because this menagerie is about quality of quantity and at 50k we unlock 50 more animals as it is.

That being said we want to at least give it a shot to give you all that you are asking for. So if we hit $35,000 in one week from today then we will add 6 more animals to the book (1 animal for each of the sections of mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and arthropods).

The opportunity to add this ends at 4:30 Central Standard Time - Thursday, February 20, 2020

In addition, we will craft a custom item card deck that every backer will get a print and play pdf of the deck and a print on demand link to order the physical deck at the cost of printing if they wish to do so. The deck will contain 50+ unique nature-based magic items, tools, and other useful items one might want to have amongst the flora and fauna of the wild realms. In addition, all the cards will have art on one side and details with mechanics, a seed of lore, and other useful information.

So, help us get there and you will find some social media pictures and links below to inspire some sharing of the campaign:

Gorgash Iguana - Habitat & Origin

These sun-loving reptiles typically come in two different varieties the normal colored tropic ones and the more earth-toned dessert ones. The traditional Gorgash Iguanas are found in warm, tropical areas with lush forest and vegetation. The females of this particular kind spend the vast majority of their lives in the trees as if they wish to avoid the ground anchored males. The dessert version of this reptile is similar to the tropical ones but obviously has come to eat more insects and other things. They are also a lover of the large cactus that grow in these areas and hilariously enough the females spend a lot of time on them as well. In any case, these reptiles are also proficient swimmers, and are commonly located within close proximity to water sources. They swim by pushing themselves through the water with their long, powerful tails. The dessert-loving ones have a much harder time finding the waters they enjoy but typically can be found in the oases of the realms.

The core writing is all done for this book and now I am currently writing the tables and mechanics for it. I know what you're thinking about how the hell can I write more stuff, and well I wrote the content for this project a couple of months ago and I am always looking for something to write. 

Well that is all for now and please keep sharing

Quick Update - Out Narrator Niwri Evets
about 4 years ago – Thu, Feb 06, 2020 at 11:16:48 PM

Hey everyone, we just wanted to show off some of the amazing sketches for our narrator of Niwri's Marvelous Menagerie of the Mulitverse!is just sketched

This is just sketch art currently but soon we will have a plethora of images of him for the book

Nirwi Evets is an adventurer, an animal enthusiast, and a Master of the Veterinary Arts. He's spent his entire life studying, viewing, treating, and protecting the fantastic creatures from all the realms. Now he's put that expertise to use and has authored this compendium, told in his voice, that details the looks and lives of these fantasy animals, including their preferred food sources and how they interact with humanoids.

We were just so excited about this art that we could not help but show all of you! Hopefully, if some of you have not figured out who our narrator is inspired by then this will help you out! Let us know what you think and please remember to share so we can unlock all these amazing stretch goals!

PROJECTS WE LOVE - Short Update
about 4 years ago – Wed, Feb 05, 2020 at 10:11:07 PM

We always like to co-share other campaigns especially with smaller companies or individuals like us! This helps spread the word about campaigns we like and also spread our campaign to people that may not have heard about us just yet!

We absolutely love steampunk and the City of Crossroads in our world of Pamwen is very high fantasy and steampunk. The interest in this project for us is that the quirky and wonderful nature of this feels like it could make a great and unique guild or inspiration for other like-minded steampunk content.

Those who are new to the series will find that the original six-issue mini-series is about an ex-Pinkerton detective, a spirit photographer, and a genius scientist who battle supernatural forces in the late 1800’s Boston. They live in an alternate steampunk history where ghosts and demons are a  normal part of life. Families known as the Great Houses control the economy of the Great States of America while the middle class and lower classes' sole purpose are to serve the Great Houses.

Who will love Boston Metaphysical Society?

  • Fans of Penny Dreadful, Girl Genius, Ruse, steampunk and gaslamp fantasy stories.
  • People who like to read paranormal, historical fiction, and/or alternate history.
  • If you like character-driven comics with a mix of paranormal and science fiction, then these are the comics for you!

THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY

I love writing BOSTON METAPHYSICAL SOCIETY. Not only does it bring my love of science fiction and history together, (which by the way, equals steampunk), the steampunk time period allows me to address the themes of classism, sexism, and racism in America in a thoughtful and engaging way. For at its very core, BOSTON METAPHYSICAL SOCIETY is an American story. And you can't tell an American story without including women and people of color.

It has been and always will be important to me to write characters who, though they come from diverse backgrounds and have different points of view, are able to work together for the common good.

 CLICK HERE TO CHECK IT OUT 

We love the classic stuff as well and many of us still build off of the classics and pull inspiration from the legends of our hobby. The Forgotten Rites of the Moldering Dead is an amazing RPG supplement containing tables to enhance and generate all facets of the dead, the un-dead, funerary rituals, and death rites.

Are you ready to unlock the secrets of the dead?

What's more classic than adventurers opening ancient tombs, liberating grave goods, and slaying the foul un-dead fiends protecting those treasures? The Forgotten Rites of the Moldering Dead will provide you with tables galore to expand upon the undying inhabitants of decrepit burial sites and inspire new levels of the macabre in your gaming sessions.

TONS OF AWESOME GENERATORS

  • Death Processions and Funerary Marches
  • Burial Practices and Entombment
  • What Grows Where the Dead Rest
  • Emissaries of Death
  • Random Powers of the Un-Dead
  • The appearance of the Un-Dead
  • Adventure Hooks AKA "The Smell of Death Surrounds You

 CLICK HERE TO CHECK IT OUT! 

We hope you will check these out and find the same inspiration that we found in them!

Week One Update
about 4 years ago – Tue, Feb 04, 2020 at 10:50:59 PM

Hello, all you wonderful backers and it is official we are over a week into the Kickstarter campaign for Niwri's Marvelous Menagerie of the Multiverse. We have a great outline planned for you on this update and we hope it can help you get excited about this project as much as we are. As always the outline below will give you a brief idea about what is in the update:

The artwork for the Kickstarter exclusive cover is in and we must say Paul did an amazing job! One would guess by now quite a few of you have figured out who Niwri Evets is inspired by but if now as the art rolls in it will more than likely become much more obvious. There is one large personal goal we have and that is to dedicate the book to the individual who inspired Niwri Evets but only time will tell if we will be allowed to do so. The image below is click through and will take you to the Instagram of the artist who did this cover, or you can CLICK HERE. 

I have had a lot of individuals ask about the limited edition cover and we truly want to make that more interactive. This means that those who back the limited print run of no more than 100 copies of the limited edition will be able to choose and vote on the theme, sketches, and final selection of the limited edition cover. These copies will be numbered by backer from 1 to 100 by the order that they back at that level. Only 100 copies of this bad boy will ever be printed, so pledge for yours now before they're all gone!

Do not forget that you can get a custom plushie of the Decuriel Glider that will only ever be offered on this Kickstarter. The quote was given weeks ago and we have ordered the prototype today and we will have that little guy in about 6 weeks! 

Yes, you will be able to get it through the survey and Backerkit, but the cost will be dependent on how many backers support at the Kickstarter exclusive plush level. We always want to keep the cost down but it will at least be 5 to 10 dollars more expensive through the survey.

I know quite a few of you have asked to have more animals added and we are not opposed to creating more animals for you all. Yet, we need to have reasons to do so and we have been promoting like crazy to get all the content we can for you all. Also, there is more content than just a stat block and a piece of art for each one of these animals. There are 1000 to 1500 words of text for every single one of these animals, a stat block, and of course a beautiful piece of artwork. We say this because this menagerie is about quality of quantity and at 50k we unlock 50 more animals as it is. 

Example pages from our book Harold the Halflings Herbology Handbook. You can expect the same or more content for each animal of this book.

That being said we want to at least give it a shot to give you all that you are asking for. So if we hit $30,000 in one week from today then we will add 12 more animals to the book (2 animals for each of the sections of mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and arthropods).

The opportunity to add this ends at 2:30 Central Standard Time - Tuesday, February 11, 2020

So, help us get there and you will find some social media pictures and links below to inspire some sharing of the campaign:

Click to go to our instagram.
Click to go to our twitter.

So, are soon to hit the 15k mark and unlock all the beautiful artwork for the animals of Niwri's Marvelous Menagerie of the Multiverse and even though we are in what we like to call the Kickstarter rut right now we are still making wonderful progress on unlocking content for the book!

The next stretch goal unlocks four subclasses for backers to use in their games if they so choose.

$20,000 - 4 New Sub-classes - locked ❌

This stretch goal will add 4 playable sub-classes for 5e, complete with gorgeous illustrations. They include the fauna domain for Clerics, the Rogue poacher, the collector patron for Warlocks, and the Way of the Monkey for Monks.

$30,000 - New Races Added - locked ❌

Even more concept and lore for the Marvelous Menagerie. Introducing the Blood Elf, lLandoran, and Yansai! Backers will get to vote to see which race makes it through to completion.

The following stretch goal after we hit the subclasses is for the races to be added. These races are from our world and are races like the Yansai, Blood Elf, Death Elf, and Landorian. We know some of you are worried about how the book will feal with adding more dungeon content but we promise the entire structure of the book will be fluid and wonderful. 

We would like to take this moment to welcome Terry Huddleston to the Niwri's Marvelous Menagerie of the Multiverse project. Terry will be handling all the large pieces of art that get we put into the book or add through stretch goals. A short video on Terry can be seen by  CLICKING HERE

The artist is already hard at work bringing our animals to life! We hope you will love each and every single one of these.

So, the artist has begun working on the reptile section first and that is why you are seeing a lot more snakes than anything else currently. We would love some feedback on what you think of the art so far.

We have friends that love creating just as much as we do (I know it is hard to believe that we have friends). A wonderful company that we have a great relationship with is Nord Games

The Ultimate Guide to Alchemy, Crafting, & Enchanting is the perfect addition to the world's greatest roleplaying game! This supplement introduces a brand new game mechanic for creating items, potions, and magical goods. It also provides hundreds of new, never-before-seen illustrated magic items, both in-book and available separately as magic item decks!

This book contains a chapter for each creative discipline, featuring various recipes for creating a wide array of different items, from the mundane to the magical.

  • Alchemy: Reveal secrets hidden within the natural world, and bend them to your purposes. Brew potions of familiar and unknown effects, from the average to the otherworldly! Three alchemical specializations allow players to create destructive, restorative, and alternative potions of all kinds. Clever brewers may even be able to turn ingredients into concoctions never before seen...
  • Crafting. Set your hands to work to create clothing, armor, weapons, jewelry, trinkets, and other various oddities. Six specializations provide a wide variety of crafting options, allowing players to outfit entire parties, or even construct their own home base! Not even magic can replicate the complex creations of those that reach master rank...
  • Enchanting. Turn the average into the extraordinary by imbuing mundane items with magical power. Whether by runes, scrolls, the help of a deity, or the involvement of something more sinister, learn the craft of making some of the most coveted items in the game. But beware: enchanters toy with fickle fate to infuse items with such power, and maybe risking their health, sanity, and destiny to do so...
