Final 2 Days! New Stretch Goal Announced!
3 months ago – Tue, Jun 25, 2024 at 03:45:55 PM

We have less than 48 hours to go for MAZES City of Skull.  

Last week we were at Origins Game Fair 

We ran 15 minute demo's at our booth that took place in City of Skull and featured our Dwarven Forge City of Skull Burning Parade maze build, we did a big 50+ person game of Mazes til Midnight in blacklight, and of course celebrated 25 years of Kobolds Ate My Baby!






As we approach the end of this campaign, we are less than $500 away from our current stretch goal. So we went ahead and added another stretch goal for something different and fun! 

$50,000 - Print & Play PDF of City of Skull in-world Card Deck

  • This card deck also includes rules for in-world games that an adventurer may play on their own at camp, for divination, to socialize at the tavern, or to gamble coin.

New Collab with Dwarven Forge
3 months ago – Fri, Jun 21, 2024 at 06:46:26 AM

We're excited to announce that we yet another collaboration for MAZES City of Skull and this time it's with Dwarven Forge for an amazing maze build!

Patrick Clapp is our Mazes architect and module writer. He is heavily involved in the City of Skull worldbuilding and writing. Over the last few years he's been building amazing mazes for convention demos with his personal Dwarven Forge items.

For City of Skull he built THE BURNING PARADE maze and specifically tried to keep it as low cost as possible without losing the cool factor and I think he did that.

Here is his stop motion build.



Buy from Dwarven Forge and get a $40 9th Level Games gift card plus a Dwarven Forge gift card of $55 for unpainted set or $90 for the painted set! This is not a crowdfunding exclusive, they will be continuing to sell this for at least the next year.
