March 19, Terre Haute Indiana, Jere Hart and Lazy Litch are pleased to announce their collaboration to create Spiral Isles. The fantasy tabletop RPG module for Swords and Wizardry/5e is scheduled for both digital and print release in June 2019. The project is currently on Kickstarter.

The purpose of this module is to provide DMs with a tool to recover from TPKs and a structured framework to initiate a journey into a land of the dead.

Inspired by popular OSR pointcrawl modules and the intuitive work of graphic designers, Spiral Isle is a beautiful, easy to use, directed adventure. The pointcrawl format is an excellent environment for maintaining free-play while engaging with narrative goals. It is a unique presentation of an underworld filled with corruption. Many new monsters prey on the ghosts and spirits of the Spiral Isles. New kinds of gear and items will equip players to navigate the challenges. Vying factions challenge players while also providing new opportunities.

Fully funded in the first five days on Kickstarter, the campaign will end on April 4th, 2019.
