Words cannot describe how thrilled we are by the outpouring of passion we have received for The Red Opera RPG, AND we are not even close to slowing down with our epic Stretch Goals!
Our next goal is something very special, we will be partnering with QueueTimes and Alcuin Gerish to create a full-fledged Stream Series Pilot of The Red Opera RPG!
Alcuin is currently writing and developing Danse Macabre, a Black Plague Historical Horror game setting using the Outbreak:Undead system from Hunters Entertainment. He got his start with the system as a player in Geek and Sundry'sWe're Alive:Frontier, and as a Gamemaster he has run games for Hunters Entertainment at GenCon. As part of the Queuetimes family on Twitch he ran the Ringweb series using Monte Cook Games'Numenera setting, and currently features as a player in the shows A Darkened Wish for Wizards of the Coast (5e D&D) and is a proud member of the #vamily on Long Beach By Night (Vampire:The Masquerade). Alcuin is one of the Dungeon Masters for DnD in a Castle, an inclusive RPG vacation in the United Kingdom. Alcuin played Jaskier on HyperRPG'sThe Witcher. Viewers can watch the full campaign he ran of Curse of Strahd (5e D&D) on his personal Twitch channel HERE.
Another of our professional partners we are very excited to share with you all is 2CGaming. They are helping us polish and design our high-tier encounters for the way people actually play D&D, not just the way it's assumed to be played. Rest assured, if your level 20 players want a challenge, 2C will be helping us elevate our own game to provide the best experience possible, by industry experts!
With expertise in game mechanics and high-level content, exemplified through the Epic Legacy and Total Party Kill product lines, 2CGaming collaborates with authors and studios to provide design-forward critique and game mechanic copy editing. We are thrilled to have their help on The Red Opera and look forward to them bringing a memorable high-level 5th Edition experience to all!
2CGaming Has a FREE Giveaway Code, Too!
Exclusive for backers of The Red Opera, 2CGaming is providing a FREE download code for their Epic Legacy books!
All you need to do is SHARE our Kickstarter Link on Facebook and tag us to be entered into the raffle!
Not all groups have players that have been through the Monsters Manual with a fine-tooth comb, and we know just as many storytellers that chuck out 50% of the rules anyway. Yet the more you run a game or write for fantasy, the more expanded your horizons become. This, is perhaps, why it’s most exciting seeing the contributing list of fantasy authors to bring these monsters to life. B.J. Hensley, Luke Gygax, and 24 other designers are on board to lend their experience for this project where they add new monsters and wicked cool tactics to truly challenge your party.

At Apotheosis Studios LOVE our fellow indie game devs, and are super passionate about other Kickstarters. To help share the love, we will be featuring other cool campaigns we think you might enjoy!
Hexplorer is a phenomenal tile-based map-making tool that gives you the tools to easily create one of kind, explorable maps for your adventuring party. The hex tiles are magnetic and will stick to a whiteboard, so your map is easily kept in order and storable between sessions. And when your campaign is finally finished, you easily reuse the tiles or you can opt to save the completed map as a lasting memorial of the legendary adventure your party embarked upon.
We are HUGE fans of the folks over at Headless Hydra Press and you check Hexploere out HERE!
