Things are progressing VERY well here at Apotheosis Studios. We are finishing up all of our stretch goal text, images, and layout exactly as scheduled! Yay! We've included a few sneak peek DRAFT images below for you to enjoy, too!

Seriously, folks Discord is the way to have ALL of your The Red Opera questions answered along with getting a bunch of behind-the-scenes art, playtesting, and other exclusives! Come play with us!

We also know many of you are VERY curious about BackerKit and Surveys, and we will be sending them out over the next few weeks and/or months. Because we hit so many stretch goals, our core book has gotten HUGE enhancements, and managing all the logistics take time. Thank you for your patience--everything is going according to schedule!

Friends of Apotheosis Studios, Midnight Tower, are back at it again with their latest offering:

Before the Stroke of Midnight a Gothic mystery adventure for DnD 5e inspired by Edgar Allan Poe!

"The Duchess Rose Blackraven of Shieldsborg Castle is dead. However, her last will is missing, and it is unclear who will inherit from her. You must find the will before midnight and identify the true heir to Shieldsborg Castle. Search the old castle for clues, interview the secretive residents, and investigate the mysterious surrounding areas. But be careful – more blood will be spilled, and a new murder will occur before midnight."

The adventure is around 80 pages and includes digital tokens, gridless maps, and digital handouts for VTT. You’ll also get the Black Raven’s Compendium, which contains new monsters, magical items, spells, and more! Check it out HERE!

Our Kickstarter money has cleared, (yay!) and our Backerkit surveys will be ready soon, too! 

HUGE shout-out to Rick Heinz (our lead writer) and all our stretch goal writers. Because of Rick, we currently are on track to be finished with the vast majority of all our stretch goal written content very soon! This is HUGE! Deep bow to Rick!

Fading Embers Campaign Set is a 5e DnD Campaign Set for a world dying in Snow and Ice. It includes three books: Player's, Gamemaster's, and Setting Manuals and is well worth checking out!

"Almost 1000 years after being thrust into a new ice age, the world of Nyth hangs on to life by a thread.

Civilization exists in pockets.  Independent city-states rule portions of the most favorable latitudes, while much of the remaining lands are now frigid untamed wilds." 

This is John Yackel, the creator of Fading Embers, third Kickstarter, and he only has 4 days to go but needs another $1.5k to make this book a reality. Take a look, and if you like some icy RPGing, we think this will be up your frosty alley!

FINAL HOURS for Kickstarter Excusive Pricing! (And Last Goal Now Unlocked!)
over 3 years ago – Fri, Oct 02, 2020 at 10:20:04 AM

Our last stretch goal is UNLOCKED! Together, we have unlocked The Definitive Guide to Warlocks! YAY!

AND still have 4 hours for folks who want to update and add to their pledge! We have a BUNCH of add on which will be available in BackerKit (our Pledge manager!) 

BUT an important thing to know is that these last 4 hours is the ONLY time for folks to lock in their price of The Standard Edition for $50 because that is a KICKSTARTER EXCLUSIVE PRICE! After this Kickstarter ends, the price of the book (because we unlocked all our stretch goals, making the book longer and more expensive to print) will rise up to $60! 

So, if you want the book for a discount, or want to tell your friends about the discount, it's now or never! Our Kickstarter exclusive pricing ends in 5 hours!

Johnson, the author of our next stretch goal, "Lifeblood" another shout out for his Kickstarter, Monsters of Murka: Restaurants and Retail -- A satirical 5e campaign supplement and resource book expanding the world of Monsters of Murka with new items, subclasses, and monsters!

Jaron and his team have 8 days to go, head on over to Monsters of Murka: Restaurants and Retail, and see what the fuss is all about! Their video is EPICALLY HILARIOUS, just like their campaign and setting. Truly worth checking out! Enjoy!
