Yay! My adventure was announced!!!

April 6, 2009 by The Chatty DM

from-here-to-thereWell, the anthology that my adventure will appear in was announced .

Goodman Games will be publishing an anthology of D&D 4e side adventures that DMs can insert when the PCs must travel from one point to the next in their adventure. It will be called From Here to There.  The anthology will feature 9 short adventures including mine.

Apparently there’s even a bonus Evil DM adventure to hit PCs with when they leave the dungeon.

My adventure, called When Madness Seeps Through, is for a level 5 party.  I had a blast writing and testing it and I hope those who will purchase the anthology will appreciate it.  It’s a nice twist on classic Lovecraft tropes peppered with my love of making complex combat encounters and exploring what can be done with skill challenges.

I wish I could say more but I’ll have to settle for that small teaser.

So here it is, announced and for real, to come out over the summer.

Now I just have to get the webmaster over the Goodman Games website to get my name right!

    Congratulation, Chatty! It’s always nice to hear of the success of a fellow D&D blogger. You’ve proven to the rest of us that it is possible to get paid doing this hobby we love so much. Well done.

    Thanks Ameron.

    Just so you know, I won’t be making a car payment with what I’ll get paid. But it will be a very nice Restaurant dinner to share the success with my lovely wife.

    Congrats Chatty! That’s pretty cool, sounds like a neat book.

    So cool! How awesome will it be to be out in public somewhere and overhear a bunch of gamers talking about YOUR adventure? Kudos!

    I believe this calls for a woot. So… Woot!

    @Kaeosdad: Thanks!

    @Flashman: I know, this is so weird! Thanks!

    @Tony: I see your Woot and I’ll raise you a WOOT! 🙂

    Now Wolfgang Baur on Twitter is asking me when I’ll write for Kobold Quarterly! Time to work on a pitch!

    Congrats, Chatty! Looking forward to checking it out. I’m running a sandbox game right now, so any ideas for those in-between moments are useful.

    Congratulation!

    You mentionned an Evil DM adventure. mmm. How evil is it? Did you read it?

  11. HermitDave says

    The funny thing was that I was going to buy it because you were writing and I like your writing style (back in the day i often bought modules from systems i didn’t play if i liked the writer) but now that I see it is a wilderness based compilation, I am pretty excited. While I love the dungeon crawl with all my olde school heart, I am not fond of the format used by Wizards. Outdoors by another company makes me keenly interested.

    @Anarkeith: Cool, I found the concept to be very cool and filling a niche where there’s precious little material available (except the old Dungeon magazine side-quests)

    @D_Luck: I haven’t seen any of the adventures, I was just quoting from the product’s speil on the website.

    @HermitDave: Gee man, thanks for the vote of confidence. I hope it ends up meeting your needs!

    Congratulations, man! Sounds like a cool product, too. Kind of like mortar to Dungeon Delve’s bricks.

    Congrats! I should try to get this compilation, I’m interested in seeing some more smallish adventures rather than the gigantoid grinds made by WotC.

    Congratulations. I assume that now that you’re a famous published author, you’re springing for pizza. 😎

    April 7, 2009 at 9:43 am

    Thanks everyone!

    I might give away an autographed copy or two from those I will get (4) when it gets out.

    I’ll surely review it… or at least talk about it. 🙂

    That’s an outstanding accomplishment. Can’t wait to see it.

    April 7, 2009 at 10:27 pm

    Yay! Can’t wait to actually be able to purchase it!

    Do you know when they’ll actually make it available for purchase?
