Ascoleth: The Last Great City ENDS This Weekend

  • Kickstarter Campaign ENDS This Weekend!
  • Funding Goal Reached.
  • 2 Stretch Goals Smashed
  • Next Stretch goal within easy reach

Ascoleth: The Last Great City ENDS This Weekend!

A system neutral zine toolkit for weird science-fantasy city roleplaying. Now LIVE! on Kickstarter.

When Tobias and Felix from Rabid Halfling Press got in touch about their zine toolkit for a weird science-fantasy city adventure generator, I got excited. We created a Discord channel where we could discuss it and plan on how to bring it to life.

After reading through, I started to see how it might look in InDesign. It looked TERRIFIC! This had to exist for others. We needed to set up a crowdfunder, we needed to pay for art and print costs and postage out to wonderful gamers everywhere. They all needed to experience Ascoleth, in whatever way the random generator tables decided.

Ascoleth: The Last Great City. A Collaboration.

And so, here’s what we’ve done!

Time left until campaign ends!! Don’t miss out.

Need Maps? Of course you do! Last Few Days!

500+ backers! Over 550% Funded! Two stretch goals down!

Hello Everyone,

We hope you are all doing well.

We just wanted to let you know that the last few days of the campaign are upon us.

HandyMaps Dungeons, Caves & Strange Locales

So, we have currently funded a set of twenty four (24), double-sided A5 cards showing beautifully illustrated dungeons, caves and strange locales for fantasy-themed games. The cards can be used as valuable tools for game planning by Game Masters.

Whilst there are 24 cards, they detail a total of 60 locations for you to populate and your players to explore.

The cards will be double-sided in a handy A5 size (210mm high x 148mm wide OR 8.27″ high x 5.83″ wide) from 350gsm uncoated card stock (giving a nice matt finish, suitable for ink and pencil marking).

Each side will be professionally digitally printed on a parchment style background.

The maps will all have a basic grid and minimal text labels (generally kept to elevation marks, stairs/slope directions, secret doors, etc), but NO title, room numbers, or compass allowing Game Masters to use them as they need for their campaigns.

Also, a great opportunity to pick up previous HandyMaps too!

Please feel free to check it out here:
