One Shot Adventure: The Orc King

February 23, 2023 By Tina Glasneck

Over the past few weeks, new ideas have taken shape, and it’s finally time for the great reveal… A One Shot!

What’s a one-shot, Tina?

A one-shot is a mini-adventure. In this case, it is a mini DND adventure you can play, which will follow the “typical rules” of a normal campaign.

Due to your interest in Dungeons and Dragons, I knew you’d love to hear the news first. 

A Collaboration

I’ve collaborated with fellow author Joanna Mazurkiewicz, and we’re working with an incredible dungeon master as we craft a fantastic One-Shot Adventure.

You’re invitation

I’m writing to invite you to come along as well.

Yes, we are kicking off a $1 One-Shot on Kickstarter campaign, whereby you’ll receive a PDF for The Orc King.

What is the One-Shot about?

The Orc Warlord Throddnak has taken the Elven Princess Eilana of Aerwa captive. It hasn’t been hard to track him and his warband since they’ve left a bloody trail that includes a captured ship leading to an ancient underwater temple.

The Royal Family of the Island nation of Aerwa is confident that their daughter is still alive, despite the hostility between elves and orcs… and now your help is needed! 

With the fate of Aerwa hanging in the balance, it’s up to you and your team to face off against Throddnak and his minions. Will you have what it takes to overcome the challenges and obstacles that await you on this perilous journey? Only time will tell.

This is a 5e one-shot adventure for five characters at level 5. 

With immersive storytelling, exciting gameplay, and unforgettable characters, this one-shot game is a must-play for any fan of fantasy and adventure.

Yes, I know this isn’t my usual fare, but I wanted to test this out before I started to release games connected to my world (ready for the secret… a few are in development at the time of this email). 

Consider this your personal invitation to follow the campaign and support it when it launches.

Head on over to Kickstarter and click on notify at launch. The campaign will have only the one tier for $1.

Darkest of Dreams Anthology!

October 9, 2022 By Tina Glasneck

I’m so happy to share that The Darkest of Dreams anthology (a horror cryptid anthology) received the coveted Projects We love badge!!!

This is huge, and we’re so happy that you are jumping in to support this supernatural horror anthology (think more Stephen King than Texas Chainsaw Massacre).

So, are you using Kickstarter? Are you aware of what it is?

Kickstarter is a funding platform that helps creative projects get “started” and off the ground. 

For publishing, Kickstarter is another way for independent and small press authors to gear up their releases, but also a way to offer an entire experience around their books.

There are tons of ways that you can support a Kickstarter campaign, too, from backing the project to even just sharing about it with your circle of friends. With the holiday season approaching, Kickstarter will be a great way to find one-of-a-kind gifts for those on your list too. 

Thank you for believing in this project! We’re in the final 6 days of this Kickstarter campaign and are closing in on $10k for this anthology. We are ecstatic about the massive outpouring of support that we’ve received. Thank you so very much!

Now is your chance to back so you can get in on these wonderful creature art prints. Yes! Here is a preview of the art being created for the Darkest of Dreams for a stretch goal. Aren’t these wonderful? There will be 17 of them too! 

When you support authors, it doesn’t just help us but also the great creatives we collaborate with to create content. Physical art prints mean you can also have a collectible connected to this limited campaign. So, don’t miss your chance for a unique gift for the holiday season and your personal collection! Learn more and go back the campaign!

MAKE ME HOWL on Kickstarter

June 6, 2022 By Tina Glasneck

Make Me Howl Special Hardback Edition

Why this Kickstarter project? Why now?
 
In 2021, we found ourselves in the midst of a pandemic, and like many, I sought to create.
 
But my health had other ideas.
 
Instead of thriving, my body was barely surviving, and in April 2021, I grew quite ill. 
 
I tried at-home remedies, not understanding what was happening - hoping that I just needed to kick my feet up and rest. 
 
Maybe I was overworking myself, I thought. 
 
But when things didn’t improve, I finally went to the doctor. This resulted in a slew of medication and a treatment plan.  
 
Yet, instead of improving things worsened.
 
My lovely ochre skin took on a grayish hue, my eyes dimmed, and I grew so weak that I could barely walk up the stairs in my house, let alone try to leave it.
I was a prisoner in my body, trapped, as a tsunami of darkness threatened to pull me under.
 
I didn't know what to do...where to go, and in finding no answers, I knew I needed to advocate for myself, too.
 
One day, while feeling overwhelmingly weak, I had a talk with myself, and I promised that once I got better, I’d never allow myself merely to survive. 
 
Instead, I would kick down doors, blaze paths, and discover new ways to thrive.
I'd shake off all doubts and become the Tina of my dreams. 
 
Finally, with my iron levels so low, emergency surgery was the answer.
 
During my months of recovery, that is when Sunflower and Killian truly showed up. But for Sunflower, she wished to communicate only through heart-wrenching poetry. She took me along this journey of healing, loss, unrequited love, and self-discovery.
 
I truly believe that it is the words of story that saved me, giving me hope, to choose the life of my dreams over the fear that sought to pull me into an eternal slumber, and this I do not write lightly… 
 
For in the power of story I found strength. As Kate Bush so eloquently sings, “Running up that hill" I then chose hope over fear, love over loss, to thrive instead of merely surviving….
 
The power of this story and these characters continue to push me on.  
 
Now, it’s your chance to join this amazing journey, too, as we climb to new heights together.
