The book has all you need to run your own D&D games in the Bards of Aratai world: setting info, NPCs, plot hooks, monsters and villains stat blocks, unique magic items, chase scene rules, full character sheets of the main characters, and battle maps of every encounter featured in the series. The Kickstarter campaign also includes an attractive array of stretch goals such as a bonus map bundle, original fantasy music bundle, and a bonus 1-2 session adventure booklet.
The full range of rewards available are up now on the show's Kickstarter page.
The series is made by New Zealand based D&D filming studio, Dice Legenz, whose cast is composed of an engaging group of New Zealand television and stage professionals. The principal filming of the series is already complete. The funds raised through the Kickstarter will pay for the post-production elements of the series, such as editing, sound design and visual effects.
"We had so much fun filming this series," says Vahid Qualls, the Dungeon Master of the show. "Monique's version of a bard who is so beautiful she has to hide her eyes lest she literally kills people with her beauty is a crack up; Krystal's battle bard, who just likes smashing things is a refreshing take on bards; and Reylene pulling out a ukulele every time her character casts a spell is brilliant."
To be part of an exciting new series AND get fun rewards for your own games as well as chances to connect to the Dice Legenz, head to the Bards of Aratai Kickstarter page and back it now.
