“The Iron Kingdoms RPG is back, baby!” is something I was asked by our marketing and editing teams to not start any articles with.
I think it has something to do with it being awkwardly dated or annoying or something like that, but I kinda zoned out halfway through the meeting, so I’m not really sure where we left it…
Just the same, the Iron Kingdoms RPG is back, baby!
Unless you haven’t been paying much attention (or didn’t read the first paragraph), we’re in the middle of what is promising to be our most successful Kickstarter project to date! The Iron Kingdoms: Requiem is (as I’m writing this) at just over $375K, and still has over a week to go!
Our goal with this campaign was to keep the pledge levels as simple as possible—right now we have four of them available to everyone:
The Digital Player
The Digital GM
The Paper Player
The Paper GM
And a special deal for retailers
The Paper Levels also include digital copies of the physical books—so, if you don’t want your friends’ Cheetos-dust-covered fingers touching your sweet IKRPG books, you can just show them the PDFs on your tablet!
As the campaign moves along, we’ve unlocked more and more cool stretch goals that keep adding tons of gameplay and world-building value. Not only are we unlocking things like physical upgrades to books, but we’re offering great mini-supplements as well!
Right now each pledge includes some amazing free stretch goals, such as:
Form-Fillable PDF Character Sheets: Why suffer through your players’ terrible handwriting when it can all be beautifully typed and printed! These are also perfect for VTT systems!
Digital Tokens and Character Portraits: Speaking of VTT systems, you get a bunch of nifty tokens (and images we’re modifying so you can make digital standees, too) for use with our game—now, when you set up your encounter online, you can use some of our decades’ worth of amazing art to make it look as epic as it will feel!
Legend of the Witchfire Handouts PDF: A PDF of all the great handouts GMs will need to run the Legend of the Witchfire adventure!
Adventure Hooks: A PDF of adventure hooks to get your players exploring more of the Iron Kingdoms. These are perfect for launching your campaigns and for giving GMs a starting point to create adventures on the go!
Coins of the Realm: Ever wondered what a Khadoran coin looks like or the exchange rate between lands of the Iron Kingdoms? Hell, what does Cryx even use to pay their pirates? If they currently don’t have anything, it might finally be time to start up my own crypto currency, Gaspy-Coin, and have them start using it! Just an idea…
Random Encounters: My favorite thing about RPGs is the Random Encounter. Your players getting a little too cocky while wandering around? Roll on the table to spice things up—maybe they end up running into a Dracodile den or a band of Farrow looking for work, or maybe an Iron Lich somehow made its way into the Thornwood and needs a few souls to get out again. There are myriad options available, and each one can be further changed on the fly to fit the tone of the game you’re running.
Legendary Magic Items: Want to wield some of the most iconic items in the Iron Kingdoms? Well, now you can—thanks to this PDF of Legendary Magic Items!
As you can see, you’ll get tons and tons of extra content with your base pledge! And, the fun’s only just begun; wait until you see what’s coming down the pipeline!
Check it out now at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/privateerpress/iron-kingdoms-requiem-5e. We’re wrapping up at 11:59 PM PST on February 11, so we have almost a full week left to unlock even more great stretch goals!
