Only two days remain to back my gigantic OSE mega-module The Shrike on Kickstarter! Just as a reminder, this book is over 67,000 words of quality dark fantasy adventure. It boasts smythsewn binding, 70 lb+ weight paper, and measures 8.5’ x 11’ across. The book will be accompanied by a bookmarked and extensively hyperlinked PDF.
The Shrike contains:
- 46 unique pointcrawl locations across the Shores of the Shrike, its fiery Guts, jagged snow capped Exterior, and procedurally generated depth-crawl in the surreal shifting interior of its heaven-harrowing Barb.
- 3 detailed and keyed dungeons including the waterlogged Cove of Iron Coffins, the derelict Gamigin’s Starforge, and an endless masquerade ball in The Palace of the Heart, ranging from low to high level.
- 5 scheming factions of the diabolic Courts and mountains of detailed NPC’s
- 3 new classes. From the shapeshifting Imp, to the Forged and Rampant Partials; made from the God’s blood animating detritus and abandoned objects- molded into demon designed bodies or left to grow wild and feral.
- 40+ new monsters from the eyegouger finch to the auric homunculus.
- 37 brand new peculiar magic items
- 1 Nameless God impaled upon the Shrike’s heaven-harrowing thorn, writhing and seeking escape.

There’s still time to back the campaign here! I worked for two years on this and I’m really excited to get the book into people’s hands.
