A huge Backerkit event has launched today featuring eight publishers teaming to release TTRPG products for the Purple Planet science fantasy setting for Dungeon Crawl Classics. The main event, from Goodman Games, is the core setting book: Tome of Adventure Volume #4: The Purple Planet. The book includes everything found in the original box set as well as new content including the adventure Chessmen of the Purple Planet. The crowdfunding project funded in the first 45 minutes and you can reserve a copy of the hardcover (with PDF) for a $44.99 pledge through March 5th. I did not see an expected delivery date.
About the project:
Prepare for Harley Stroh’s sword-and-planet fantasy epic! Your characters are cast across the cosmos to a foreign world. Left to die beneath a weirdling sun and its sickening rays, their survival depends as much upon a quick wit as a quick blade. Even the finest chain hauberk must fail beneath the crush of an alien horde.
The Purple Planet: Where tribes of man-beasts wage an endless war beneath a dying sun. Where mighty death worms rule the wastes, befouled winds whistle through ancient crypts, and forests of fungi flourish in the weirdling light. Where ancient technologies offer life… or a quick death. Bereft of patron, friend, or god, your survival depends on quick wits and a strong blade. Will you and your companions stand as conquerors atop this alien land? Or will you beneath the blast of an ink-black death ray, just another corpse left to litter the wastes of the Purple Planet?
The Purple Planet returns to print in this enormous hardcover! A swords & planet hexcrawl in the vein of John Carter of Mars and Robert E. Howard’s Almuric, Adventures on the Purple Planet compiles all the Purple Planet setting material from the original 2014 boxed set, the three supplemental adventures, the long – lost Glossography of the Ythoth, the brand-new adventure Chessmen of the Purple Planet, and Invasion of the Purple Planet translated from its original German edition. Plus full-color maps for both player and judge, play aids, and more!
