    Joshua, we will be shipping in June, just after Free RPG Day. I will wait until closer to the date to collect information - just in case someone changes address. Thanks for the question. The adventure is moving along well. We look forward to getting it to you.

    A longshot $3000 goal

    Racking my brain trying to come up with another great "extra" for hitting the next level.  Here's what I have come up with:

    We have an exciting adventure coming out for a GenCon release.  I am so excited about this adventure!  Great group working on the project, really cool adventure, and very memorable enemies.

    I don't want to give anything big away here - because the inside scoop on this release IS the next reward.  Anyone who backs this Free RPG Day Kickstarter will get all the info about the new adventure, a sneak peak at the art as it rolls in, and a chance to check out all the maps as we receive them.

    The only hint I will give you is - pack your bags...this high level adventure requires quite a bit of traveling.

    Thank you!

    Broke the 2k barrier!

    I promised a reward for breaking 2k. Here it is. Anyone at the $15 level or higher will receive a PDF of Lou Agresta and Rone Barton's "Citadel of Pain" (see below for description). It is an amazing adventure that has received rave reviews. Welcome to Rogthandor, a massive and crumbling fortress history has dubbed the Citadel of Pain. Years ago, Baronet Dumond imprisoned his citizens in the citadel, using them as test subjects for his twisted experiments. Dumond's ambition was to construct the ultimate torture device in the belief that by consuming the agony of others he could turn himself into a god. In pursuit of this goal, he allowed his lands to become overrun by monsters and creatures out of nightmare, who soon became the citadel's new residents. During the Baronet's final days, an alchemical liquid poured from the tower of Rogthandor, sealing the keep and its residents inside a magic-resistant shell of stone. Now, decades later, a powerful digging machine will carry a group of brave adventurers beyond the ivy-enshrouded walls and into the heart of Rothandor. Can your PCs survive the horrors trapped within the bastion and solve the mystery of the Citadel of Pain? This Gaming Paper Adventure Includes: Uses the entire 7'x10' map contained in Gaming Paper Adventures: Mega-Dungeon 1. 24 additional map sheets unique to this adventure that work with Gaming Paper Adventures: Mega-Dungeon 1. 6 pages of illustrated handouts to immerse players in the Citadel of Pain. A Faction Tracker sheet to help GMs and players keep track of the shifting alliances among the groups they encounter. Citadel of Pain is a massive adventure for 7th-level characters. Written by Louis Agresta and Rone Barton, with stunning artwork by Joel Biske and Aaron Anderson, this adventure is compatible with The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and Gaming Paper Adventures: Mega-Dungeon 1.

    Two weeks left!

    Be cause of your generosity we will be sending 189 additional copies to gaming stores for Free RPG Day.   We have increased the number distributed from 600 to nearly 800 copies!  That is 33% more copies.

    Thank you for supporting Gaming Paper and the gaming community.  This could mean hundreds of gamers playing Pathfinder and/or seeing a Gaming Paper product for the first time.

    Please help me continue to spread the word about this project.  With twelve days left we have an opportunity to increase the number of Free RPG Day copies even more (not to mention you get some cool stuff).

    Your generosity and assistance in spreading the word is greatly appreciated.

    THANK YOU!

    Second Day Down. Goal achieved!

    We hit our $1000 goal!  I expected to hit our goal - but not in two days!  I am humbled and honored by your generosity.  Thank you truly.

    Please join me in keeping up the momentum.  I am planning to offer a reward for each additional thousand dollars raised.  Please help spread the word by telling a fellow gamer about our Kickstarter.

    You will notice we have added a $15 reward level that includes the Free RPG Day adventure (hardcopy and PDF) and a PDF of "Citadel of Pain" by Lou Agresta and Rone Barton. 

    We also added a $34 reward option which includes the Mega Dungeon Map Pack (hardcopy only) and the Free RPG Day adventure (hardcopy and PDF).

    Thanks again for your support!  I am attaching another 3D drawing of the encounter area (without vegetation).

    Dafadu - I will combine to reduce shipping! That is good thinking. Can probably get 4-5 copies in an envelope.
