The Ashmore Herald Vol. 1 - Kickstarter Edition

The Ashmore Herald Vol. 1 is the first, and maybe only, issue of a zine depicting a role playing game setting reminiscent of America's Western Reserve circa 1800.

This issue was designed to be a single volume in case I never wrote another public word about Ashmore County. The Ashmore Herald contains a small town and the NPCs that live there, a mini-dungeon that Judges, Dungeon Masters, and Game Masters alike can use for their adventures including 2 custom monsters. The dungeon is designed to be quick and easy to drop into your existing games without the need to do much prep work.

Since I love to cook and cooking means almost as much to me as tabletop roleplaying games, I have included an incredibly simple recipe that you can make to help your table get into the mood.

The Ashmore Herald started as an attempt to make one-page dungeon, but quickly blew up into a full zine, sprouting out from the barest notes of the current version of my roleplaying game campaign setting. Ashmore County, the world where The Ashmore Herald pulls from, is a campaign setting I've been working on and off over the last three years. It's major influences are FromSoftware's Bloodborne, Michael Curtis's The Chained Coffin, and the place I worked summers from 2005 through 2010.

Rules Compatibility

The Ashmore Herald is designed for use with the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG, but can easily be used with any other OSR System or with the latest version of The World's Most Popular RPG.
