Project Update: Choose Thy Adventure - 05. The Bird Throne
Hail and well met Wanderers.
The fates return once more, with another chapter in Willow’s journey as guided by thy choices:
“You listen out for anything that may guide your decision, and ignoring the smell of campfire nearby you instead elect to scale the tower to rest away from the forest floor. You are hurried on as it becomes evident that your decision to linger in the open has attracted the attention of some less than desirable creatures. Eyes glinting in the moonlight appear in the nearby trees, first two, then 4, and in no time at all you count a pair waiting in all directions. Luckily your decision is made, and you begin to scale the tower away from the blink-less gaze of whatever awaits you in the dark of the woodland. But how well are you able to climb? Such feats of athleticism are not the purview of a witch, let alone in the dark. Fate rolls your die, adding thy +3 bonus with a DC of 12…
SUCCESS! With a total of 12 (9 + 3) thou art barely able to make it up the tower without slipping, a fall from such height would spell disaster even without hungry eyes just waiting for such an opportunity…
After a gruelling climb up rubble and vine, you alight atop the watch tower exhausted and sore. Looking out you see tree tops bathed in the silver light of the moon, a lazy trail of smoke escaping from beneath their bows maybe 1/4 of a mile from where you are. Beyond that it becomes impossible to make out anything other than darkness, save for something that is moving in the trees not far away. Turning to look to the tower top itself, it becomes immediately clear why you heard no birdsong. A nest of rubble and root has been made atop the tower, by something far larger than any bird you’ve seen. You see no bones or hint of predation, but do spy a great black feather that rests amongst the pile. Your eyes dart back to the forest and sky, searching for signs of the nests owner.
At first nothing, wind rustles through the moonlit trees below whilst the unfamiliar starscape glitters overhead. And then you see it, saved only by your keen eyes once more, stars blinking out in the sky as something large and winged blocks their light for but a moment. You have only a few seconds to decide what to do as the creature appears to be moving closer and closer, likely returning to its nest…
You could attempt to hide amongst the vines and rubble and get a sight on the beast before deciding your next move. You could present yourself as a friend and ally, and hope that the approaching creature is open to such diplomacy. Or you could attempt to scare the creature away, attacking it before it knows you are there…”

Project Update: Monster Creation Livestream, New Stretch Goals, Referral survey & more!
Hail and well met Wanderers,
As we approach our final week in this wonderful journey towards the realm of Faerie, I bringeth a bounty of project news and updates!
As we approach our final week in this wonderful journey towards the realm of Faerie, I bringeth a bounty of project news and updates!
Monster Creation & Nimble 5e Stream
We shall be appearing in two live streams this week, including one Tonight! Here’s what you can expect:
Join us for an hour or two Saturday at around 10pm GMT/ 2pm PST while I design and draw creatures for the final book of Faerie! Discuss ideas for creatures, get a behind the scenes peek as fantasy art comes together, and ask us any questions you have about Faerie. By the end we should have a few gloriously horrid Fey beasties! If it turns out to be fun (how could it not) then we may even do a few more over the coming weeks and months until final fulfilment! ⚔️
And also join us TONIGHT 1am GMT on a stream hosted by Nimble 5e creator Evan, over on the Nimble campaign page. We will be discussing the Witch class in some more detail and talking about its conversion for use with the Nimble system!

Unlocked Stretch Goals
Since we last updated we’ve also hit another new stretch goal, and more now lie upon the horizon…
Where The Beasts Dwell 100K
Creatures doth roam the wilds, monsters prowl the battlefields, but facing such foes in the open pales to the fate that looms upon those that wander within their dens! Thou hast summoned forth 3 new creatures, all of which are presented with their own lair mechanics and lair maps. And a 4th mini STL now joins our pack, the dreaded Grimm; A huge shadowy black hound that stalks where death and dismay doth linger!
Next approaching is the Witches Grimoire at 125k, which adds a gorgeous leatherbound physical players-notebook to the Earl tier and as an add-on. The notebook contains room to keep track of player notes, spells, and contains a built in character sheet along with the entire Witch spell list to make preparing and choosing thy casting options easy!

Referral Programme Changes & Survey
Finally I present news and ask for thy feedback on our referral programme.
It appears that despite our goodly intentions, the referral programme has proven a wee bit divisive. So, based on some of the feedback you’ve given us, we will be making the following changes:
- If you referred someone at any point in the campaign (including prior to the referral trial), both you and your referee/s will receive the digital content pack for free provided you fill in the referral section post campaign.
- We are also releasing the previously-exclusive digital content pack as an add-on, as well as attaching it to the physical mini add-on. So if you’ve already grabbed or decide to grab the physical Willow mini you will now also get both of her STLs and the content pack for no extra charge!
We can’t re-do or completely change a now launched referral programme without unfairly impacting those who’ve since partaken, but hopefully this means no one need miss out on the goodies! They are now available in their entirety for purchase, or still for free via referrals. We want to be open to trying out new things like this, but hopefully next time it will be better informed by your feedback!
Speaking of which, if you can spare a moment to give us some more comprehensive feedback, you can fill out a survey on the referral trial here:

That’s all for now, I shall see you all on the morrow for the next instalment in Willows journey!

Hi folks! I'm really excited for these additions to 5e! I love the flavor, it fits absolutely perfectly with my homebrew world so I'm very thankful to come have come across your campaign at the right time :) I've backed as an Early Bird 'baron'; would it be possible to upgrade that to an Early Bird 'earl' in the pledge manager? I've been eying those deluxe add-ons and I might be starting to regret my decision to 'only' back at the 'baron' level 😅 So I'm wondering is an Early Bird will be able to increase their rank and keep the Early Bird d20 later on? (sorry if you've answered this question before, I couldn't find it)
