Designers & Dragons: Origins

We're in the last two hours of this amazing campaign. We want to thank all 1500+ backers who are making this ambitious project a reality.

To show those thanks, we're holding one last poll to grow the Adventurers' Hoard and it's a big one: a lineup of classic products selected from all four volumes.


We'll take the top three results and add the entries for all three to the backer-exclusive preview.

Vote wisely however, you can only pick ONE product in the poll so the final ranking will be determined by the desires of the overall backer population.

Thanks again for your support and if you've just been following along, this is your last chance to get in and vote to unlock our final set of product entries!

Pledge now to claim this treasure trove of TTRPG history and your share of the Adventurers' Hoard!.

Hey friends, we're down to the final 47 hours of the campaign and the momentum is swelling! Almost 1200 of you are onboard for this deep delve into the lore and design behind TSR's early catalog.

Our poll for the 160k stretch just wrapped: We're adding Shannon's entry on the iconic Forgotten Realms Boxed Set to the backer-exclusive Adventurers' Hoard.

But that's not all, we've also blown through the $180k stretch! We've had some incredibly tight votes, so we thought it was only fair to let everyone take another swing at getting their fave over the finish line.



We've gathered every product that placed second (including four items that TIED for second place!) and put them all in this latest poll. Last chance to get them into the Adventurers' Hoard, they won't be in the line-up again.

There's a tight turnaround on this one, the campaign is almost over. So backers, get your votes in now!

And if you're not already a backer, now's the time to join in and help unlock even more hidden gems of TTRPG history.

Friends, we've got just FOUR days left in this campaign.

It's time to tell your friends, tell your neighbors, and tell them what?  That you're voting on ANOTHER chapter to unlock and add to The Adventurers' Hoard!

This marks the 18th product entry available exclusively to our backers. Last Friday we added the chapter on the beloved Dungeon Master's Design Kit by Aaron Allston to the backer-exclusive PDF.

And this is poll is going to make you wish you could back the project twice.

We're offering up a selection of boxed sets published in those early days of TSR.



From the beloved blue Expert Set to the "hyperReality" of the VHS-driven DragonStrike Game, we've got a line-up of tantalizing entries exploring the origins and lore of these special releases.

But, you can only vote for one.

We're in the home stretch for this campaign and the momentum is ramping up. Keep spreading the word and thanks for your support!

Hey friends, Over the weekend we sliced through our $140k stretch so it's time to add another chapter to our backer-exclusive PDF.

Get your votes in now, this poll closes at 7pm Pacific on Wednesday, Nov 12!
