Tim Molloy (@timmmolloyart on Instagram) just sent over an illustration of one of the Crimson Templars from HELLCRAWL. These fanatical knights committed ritual suicide so their souls could descend into Hell and continue an endless crusade against demons and devils.

The project is creeping toward another stretch goal unlock and a new reveal. It’s been wild watching how many people have rallied behind this strange little book.

Well met O condemned souls!

I wanted to let you know that HELLCRAWL is live on BackerKit and shaping up to be our most successful project yet! The cursed souls at Agamemnon Press brought you The Painted Wastelands, Mr Unpronounceable Omnibus, and Empire of Bones. Now their sinful ways have spawned a wholly strange and horrifying nightmare. HELLCRAWL turns a total party kill into the start of a new campaign. Your characters awaken in Nethria, the Burning Hell, stripped of everything and forced to survive a wasteland of devils, demons, and desperate souls. Escape, seize power, or have your eternal soul ground up into a devil dollar. Death was only the beginning. The HELLCRAWL starts now! 

This project is part of OSE month and dovetails with the Demonic Grimoire. HELLCRAWL was a project I wrote before I started working on The Painted Wastelands and assumed it would never see the light of day. When Gavin reached out to me about working together I was so excited to pull this out of the drawer and bring it to life. The book is completely written and currently in layout.

All the art and illustrations is by the ENnie award winning artist Tim Molloy who did all the artwork for our previous books.

Maps are drawn by Dyson Logos! I'm a huge fan of Dyson's and have wanted to work with him for a long time. I'm happy to announce we are now partnering up on this project.

There are some big announcements coming next week about a new addition and stretch goals for the project so stay tuned.

As with all our projects, all art, writing, layout, advertising, animation, and editing is done by humans.

We are adding a stretch goal for these little Chick Tracts a concerned citizen slid under my door.

HELLCRAWL is a procedurally generated hexcrawl coming to backerkit next week as part of Old School Essentials month in partnership with the Demonic Grimoire.

What happens when the entire party dies? They wake up in Hell! This is an opportunity for the adventure to continue and the characters can claw their way out of the underworld.

Backers who join in the first 48 hours get instant access to HELLCRAWL: Dead on Arrival. The referee can finally pass judgment upon the players and brand them for their sinful ways. Finally the bard can be punished for wanting to sleep with every dragon.

Follow the project on backerkit so you can be notified as soon as OSE month starts: https://www.backerkit.com/call_to_action/151d3b73-f99e-4772-9236-1d414a2da8ff/landing?ref=home-page
