THE ANGELS & DEVILS KICKSTARTER IS COMING!

Posted on by

The Night Owl is happy to announce this Kickstarter going live in July!

North of Zinamistra, past the mountains, lie the Vermilion Highlands. Take the mountain road to reach the dwarven stronghold of Cragtop Citadel. Unravel the citadel’s mysteries. Frightful discoveries await! The party gets embroiled in a truly diabolical plot that threatens all.

Equipped with a map of the Vermilion Highlands, the party must venture out to warn its people of the devil incursion. Light the celestial beacons and prepare your defenses! But can you find and persuade a fallen angel to help you rather than to end your life? And are you able to claim the legendary angel blade: Devil’s Bane? Diabolical cultists, real devils, and creatures native to the region will all try to stop you. 

In the climactic final part of the trilogy, the party must find a way to the very heart of evil. The vast halls of the dwarven kingdom are now lit by hellfires. Do you dare to take the long, dark roads under the mountains? They will lead you to your greatest fear. Can you face the general of the infernal armies: the pit fiend Baaldemor? Unless his plans are thwarted, hellfire will reign… 

On top of the three adventures, you’ll get an abundance of new D&D material. Unique magic items, such as the holy sword Devil’s Bane. Other insidious and deadly items come from the Lower Planes, such as the Red-Eyed Box… You’ll find angelic boons and blessings for your player characters, and diabolical feats and powers. There are new types of angels: celestial agents, and grey fallen angels. And new types of devils: cutter devils, slithering devils, not to forget the hellfire lions, who can drag their prey with them to Hell! A gallery of full-fledged NPCs is included. And you’ll learn everything you wanted to know but were too afraid to ask about the cult The Wardens of the Infinite Pit. 😉

For this project, The Night Owl is collaborating with some outstanding artists. More will be announced as the Kickstarter goes live in July! We’re up for some amazing maps and artworks! 🙂

Get this D&D 5E book in hardcover or softcover, and digital format. You can play online using the digital maps for VTT. As a bonus, digital player handouts, such as letters, menus, exterior views of buildings, and NPC portraits, are also planned!

Kickstarter backers will be able to vote for additional content – so join in and make your voice heard! 🙂

There will be early-bird discounts for early backers.

A little Kickstarter update

Posted on by

Having now passed the pledge-period mid-point of the Kickstarter for To Catch A Unicorn, it’s a good moment to make a little update here.

First of all, wow! The interest and support has been really amazing and far beyond what I could have expected when launching this my first Kickstarter. Thank you so much to all the amazing backers who have joined in already! The Kickstarter was funded in just over 2 hours and since then we have unlocked a number of Stretch Goals that will definitely make the product so much better!

So I wanted to mention one of the great developments here. Thanks to the great support from all backers, the battle & building maps of the key adventure sites will be something quite special. They will be made by the amazing VENATUS MAPS. They produce top-notch RPG colour maps. This will make it possible to have both beautifully rendered and also really functional site maps. These should also be usable as VTT maps. The maps will even show you what these exciting locations look like from the outside. You have in this post an example of a Venatus map from their website, just to show you what I mean.

I’m quite excited over this development, which will really make the adventure module even more appealing visually – and even easier to use.

And there is more, much more to come …! To Catch A Unicorn is coming together in a really great way!

IT’S COMING: D&D 5E KICKSTARTER!

To Catch A Unicorn: Epic D&D 5E adventure in enchanted forest!

The Night Owl is excited to announce this Kickstarter going live soon!

To Catch A Unicorn is an epic fantasy adventure for D&D (5th edition). In an ancient forest, the magic of elven lords from eons past still pounds in overgrown ruins and flows through plants and soil. But an evil hag is gathering a motley crew of monsters to her. The only hope of stopping the growing darkness is to bring back the legendary Protector: the Forest Lord unicorn. But will your adventuring party survive, find a way to bring the unicorn back, and save the forest?

Welcome to the enchanted forest of Zinamistra!

The adventurers must enter these woods, explore them, find answers and survive. They will meet many denizens of this mystical realm, from quirky fey to the deadly servants of the night hag Natraxa Mafleur. The party must find out what has happened to the unicorn and bring it back for an epic final showdown against the witch and her servants!

The adventure is suitable for 4-6 characters of level 4-5. It comes with a set of appendices full of new spells, monsters, magic items, herbs, inventive rules and more!

This supplement aims to take the “enchanted forest” to the next level. The idea is to go much further than just including encounters with forest or fey creatures. The product will include new and simple (I promise!) “game systems” to bring the enchanted forest to life. You can use these for creating your own magical forests too! More details will be presented soon as the Kickstarter goes live.

The pre-launch page is now up on Kickstarter (see link below). There you can click “Notify me on launch” not to miss out.

First pledgers will get the early-bird super discount!

New website!

Posted on by

This is the new website of Anders “the Night Owl” Jordahl. Here you can find strong and highly distilled homebrew for D&D 5E! 😉

All main homebrew content can be downloaded from DMs Guild:

https://www.dmsguild.com/product/234401/Dragons-Now

The idea with the website is to provide a way of engagement and a focal point for all this homebrew creation, including smaller and free content that can be published more often.

I will try to make more regular updates and new content also between the release of major adventures or supplements.

So feel free to roam around, leave a comment and subscribe for future content and news!

Happy gaming!
