The Project:

Our goal is to bring Evindale, a meticulously crafted dark fantasy world, to life as a comprehensive TTRPG campaign setting. With a focus on deep lore, intricate world-building, and evocative storytelling, Evindale will offer both players and Game Masters an expansive universe filled with history, magic, and compelling narratives. The setting spans multiple Ages, each with its own tone and flavor, from high fantasy to post-apocalyptic, allowing for endless adventures across time and space.

What We’re Creating:

  • Evindale Campaign Setting Book (PDF & Hardcover): A 200+ page book detailing the world’s lore, factions, NPCs, adventures, and unique mechanics designed to work with popular TTRPG systems.
  • Digital & Physical Maps: Detailed maps of key regions, cities, and landmarks to immerse players in the world.
  • Game Master’s Toolkit: Printable GM resources, including adventure hooks, NPC profiles, custom creatures, and item descriptions to enhance storytelling.
  • Exclusive Artwork: A visually stunning collection of art that brings Evindale’s people, places, and creatures to life, blending watercolor and black ink to evoke a dark and moody atmosphere.

Expectations for Backers:

  • Timeline: We plan to have the core Evindale campaign setting book fully written and designed within 9-12 months of funding. This timeline accounts for layout, playtesting, editing, and art development. We’ll keep all backers updated regularly with progress reports.
  • Digital Rewards: Backers of digital tiers will receive PDFs, wallpapers, and other digital assets within 6 months, starting with early drafts and playtest materials.
  • Physical Rewards: Printing and shipping physical books and rewards will begin approximately 3 months after digital completion, accounting for printing times and logistics.
  • Stretch Goals: As we reach funding milestones, additional content such as one-shot adventures, expanded art books, and physical collectibles like dice or miniatures will be unlocked, delivered after the core project is complete.

Why We Need Your Support:

The funds raised will be used for:

  • Art & Design: We’re committed to delivering a beautiful, visually immersive experience, and this requires professional artists and designers to capture the essence of Evindale.
  • Editing & Production: Creating a polished, engaging campaign setting requires professional editing, layout design, and production of both digital and physical products.
  • Printing & Fulfillment: High-quality printing for hardcover books, maps, and stretch goals, as well as shipping to backers around the world.
  • Compensation for Collaborators: We believe in paying fair wages to writers, artists, designers, and collaborators who contribute to the project.
