Hi everyone! I am excited to announce that Forgotten Fane of the Coiled Goddess, an adventure for Astonishing Swordsmen and Sorcerers of Hyperborea, has been released in pdf. Authored by yours truly, FFotCG takes characters into the sword & sorcery lost-world of the Lemurian Remnant, where they will encounter dinosaurs, barbarians, monkey-men and nameless terrors as they seek the fabled feathered crown! The module comes in at 60 pages stocked with gorgeous art by +Del Teigler, +Jonathan Bingham, and +Glynn Seal.

If you backed the North Wind Adventures Kickstarter, you should have received download links for the modules you backed. If not, Forgotten Fane as well as Ghost Ship of the Desert Dunes and Beneath the Comet can be purchased at DriveThruRPG/RPGNOW for $10 each! Print copies will be released for sale soon as well and will be available North Wind Adventures!

Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea Adventures

Around December 2013 I wrote up a miniature setting as an add-on for the Hyperborea campaign setting. This micro setting was called the "Lemurian Remnant" and introduced a tropical lost world filled with dinosaurs and people of pseudo-Asian derivation. For inspiration, I drew from Burroughs and Doyle, and also read through the relevant sections from Blavatsky and other nineteenth - century theosophists. I sent the short manuscript off to +Jeff Talanian, creator of AS&SH and owner of North Wind Adventures, looking for approval and permission to send the material into AFS Magazine or Fight On!. A few weeks later I received a reply from Jeff and was surprised by his enthusiasm and even more astonished when he asked that I write an adventure module for official publication. 

Of course I said "yes," and started crafting the adventure that would become Forgotten Fane of the Coiled Goddess, packing it with pirates, kung-fu monks, dinosaurs, monkey-men and pulp adventure on an unexplored island. I hope you find it as fun to play as it was to create.

Forgotten Fane includes a full adventure, new deities, monsters, and equipment, as well as a complete description of the Lemurian Remnant micro-setting. I produced all digital maps in the module, while Glynn Seal of +MonkeyBloodDesign made a hand-drawn player's map. Cover art by well-known comic artist Val Semeiks with interior art produced by +Del Teigeler (Mavfire's Art Blog)and Johnathan Bingham.

The Hyperborea Adventure Three Pack Kickstarter is live and my module has the honor of being offered next to Ghost Ship of the Desert Dunes, by Jeff Talanian, and Beneath the Comet, by Ben Ball. There is very little risk in this Kickstarter, as all of the writing, editing and art has been completed. The only thing that remains is layout, printing and shipping! Please, offer any support you can and help spread the word!
