Hi friends!

I wanted you to know about the City of Arches Kickstarter going on right now!

The City of Arches is a 160 page PDF and hardcover high-fantasy city sourcebook built for Lazy DMs and usable with any version of 5e or other fantasy tabletop RPGs. In this book you’ll find

  • a high fantasy city setting surrounded by countless adventure locations.
  • a setting easily dropped into any existing published or homebrewed campaign world.
  • a setting where any race, species, origin, heritage, and culture makes sense.
  • over a dozen adventure “biomes” with hundreds of adventure locations.
  • three 1st to 20th level campaign arcs.
  • an intro scenario, three adventures, and an adventure toolkit for building your own heist or infiltration adventure.
  • beautiful full-color art, dungeon maps, and overland maps.
  • a player’s guide with background hooks and setting-specific backgrounds.

Download the free 42 page preview on the Kickstarter page! I hope you’ll back this fantastic new book.

Thank you so much!

    I am more likely to pledge if I see support for non-Hasbro 5e-adjacent systems like Shadowdark, Tales of the Valiant, or DC20.

      Support for all of those systems is listed explicitly in the Kickstarter and the preview PDF.

    I backed Mike Shea’s last “campaign” type book, and it was a great setting and collection of adventures. It was designed for levels 1 through 5 (similar to Lost Mines of Phandelver), but then at the back he included an appendix with ideas for, IIRC, a level 5-20 campaign. It wasn’t super detailed, but it was enough to give DMs an idea what to do if their players really liked the setting and wanted to stay down there.

    You know how you can read a campaign book and be like, “Why is this so confusing and hard to understand? Don’t they care how hard the campaign is to run?!”

    Well, Mike does care – that’s his whole shtick, so I’m definitely going to back this.
