We Played D&D on a Boat! Adventures Ahoy! Part 1: Tomb of Grief Set sail for something truly special! No Short Rests! is taking Dungeons & Dragons off the table and onto the water with Adventures Ahoy! - an actual play of Tomb of Grief, our level 1 adventure from One Room One Shots, whilst cruising along the River Lee. Back the collection on Kickstarter now! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/one-room-one-shots/one-room-one-shots Featuring an all-star cast from across the UKโ€™s TTRPG community, discover just how easy it is to run a full adventure right from the book, using our free pre-made characters included with the One Room One Shots collection. See for yourself how much story, strategy and atmosphere can unfold in a single location - and all in just one session. Climb aboard, roll initiative and join us for an adventure like no other! The land has become cursed and all signs point to the tomb of an evil king as the source of this dark taint. The players must find a way to break the curse, and learn the truth behind the King's violent acts inside his desecrated tomb!

Only 10 of these swords will ever exist. Each is part of our Kingโ€™s Pledge, which includes everything from our Kickstarter - all core books, add-ons & stretch goals.

If you want to claim one of these legendary blades, head over now before theyโ€™re gone!

Iโ€™m incredibly proud to present Griefโ€™s End - a 36โ€ realistic replica of the Red Kingโ€™s sword from Tomb of Grief, our D&D supplement now live on Kickstarter!

Designed by me, 3D-modelled by Eric Jarman, and completely built & finished by hand. Itโ€™s been a true labour of love.

Fortunately, we still have plenty of time to do so, but we need as many eyes on our campaign as possible, and thatโ€™s where we turn to you.

Please, help our fledgling company get off the ground with a bang so that we can repay you in kind by only ever working with real artists!

We are a strictly NO AI company and we want to work with you! Weโ€™ve hit core funding in less than a day, but that only covers the print and final artwork costs for the base adventures. We want to do so much more, but for that, we need an equal amount of funding!

Government style ad in watercolour. Image of a burglar stealing a painting from the wall of a home. Tagline: "It's not theft... if you say you're using it to train your AI algorithm". Body text: "Theft is now legal, so we can boost the economy by eliminating jobs. If that doesn't make any sense, ask a chatbot to explain it to you." HM government logo in the corner.

Yup, itโ€™s gonna have to be a fucking good game for me to spend ยฃ80 on it. Most games I play now are either on game pass or games with gold. I donโ€™t buy new games at all and when I do, I tend to go physical where I can usually get it cheaper
