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.

Two New Books for Other Publishers

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to let you all know that there are two new books added to the webstore. Now, whilst they are on the MonkeyBlood webstore, they are linked to the respective websites of other publishers, who contracted me to create books for them, so here they are:

The Midderlands for 5E (Necromancer Games/Frog God Games)

This project was successfully completed a little while back, but I have been very remiss in not blogging about it. The good folks over at Necromnacer Games/Frog God Games contracted me to work on a 5E version of The Midderlands book. Edwin Nagy handled the 5E conversion on behalf of the Frogs, and I handled the new colour artwork/cartography, and layout.

It’s a beautiful book and I am so pleased with how it came out. You can also get a really swanky cloth/foil Limited edition if you are quick (read the webstore product entry to find link).

Back in 2017, James Raggi commisisoned me to create a 128 page ‘map book’. I spent the next 13 months of evenings and weekends (I was working full time doing something completely different) researching and drawing 17th century plans, strutcures, buildings, ships, etc. Things happened in between and final release dates faltered along the way, but now it lives! I completed all artwork, writing and layout for the project and it’s come out lovely.

So, why not check them out and head over to the prospective webstores and pick them up. You won’t be disappointed!!

Many thanks, Glynn
