Enter the Dark Tower! Explore The Caverns of Thracia! Discover The Book of Treasure Maps! And much more!
Oh yeah, we’re talking about our new Kickstarter campaign: Judges Guild Deluxe: Dark Tower, Caverns of Thracia, & More. Celebrating the works of Jennell Jaquays, this oversized hardcover will collect some of her finest works and reprint them in a deluxe collector’s format. Each of the adventures reprinted introduced innovations in adventure module design which helped set the template for modern gaming.
So what exactly will you find inside this volume? Here’s a description straight from the Kickstarter:
This Kickstarter funds the scanning, digital restoration, and print publication of an oversized deluxe collector’s edition of classic Judges Guild RPG adventures and zines. This second volume in the series focuses on materials created, illustrated, and produced by Jennell Jaquays: the Dungeoneer zines; Dark Tower; The Caverns of Thracia; The Book of Treasure Maps; and more. Through this Kickstarter, this volume is offered at a price that is $25 lower than the general distribution price, with an option for an exclusive slipcase available only through this Kickstarter. In lieu of royalties, Judges Guild has agreed to donate a portion of proceeds from the Kickstarter to benefit two special charities, as outlined below.
In lieu of a royalty from the production of this volume of the Deluxe Collector’s Edition, Judges Guild has agreed to donate their royalty to philanthropic causes, and Goodman Games will match that donation. Therefore, a total of 20% of the proceeds from this Kickstarter will be donated to charity. 10% will go to the Anti-Defamation League and 10% to GLAAD.
This volume is even thicker than the first, clocking in at a massive 275-300 pages (depending on final layout). And with the oversized format, that makes for a hefty book indeed!
And we’ve got some great add-ons that are now available for the campaign!
