Hey friends!
As some of you may know, for the past four years I've run an annual game jam to provide a place and time for folks to brew adventures and supplements for DURF.
The 5th edition of this DURF Jam has officially started so if you'd like to participate or just check out what other people are working on, consider checking out the jam page or joining the CULT OF THE LIZARD KING Discord server :)
The event runs until the 10th of November and is a pretty low-stakes event, basically just an excuse to throw some ideas around and create something fun! So check it out if that seems cool to you :)
Talk soon!

Stretch goal unlocked and important change!

Thanks to your help, we've unlocked the 40k stretch goal! This means my friend Tim Heessels will write a new adventure for DURF!
The Secret of the Turncoat Inn
An abandoned inn in the countryside. Its owner missing and its cellars overrun by rats turned sentient by the inn's magic-infused ale.
The Secret of the Turncoat Inn is an adventure for a low HD party. Explore the inn's cellars and ruined crypts filled with puzzles, sentient rats, and magic-infused ale.
Adventure Zine change
Initially the plan was to release the new adventures only as digital PDFs since they might not be ready in time to be included in the physical zine. Some of you asked if they could still be included in the Adventure Zine, so I'm happy to announce that the new adventures will now also be included in the Adventure Zine (both digital and physical)!
With the addition of The Secret of the Turncoat Inn, the Adventure Zine now counts three adventures and an estimated page count of 60 pages!
So if you'd like to get the new adventure in print alongside The Prison of the Fire Tyrant and The Rot King's Sanctum, consider upgrading to the Adventurer Tier or above!
Thank you so much for your support, and talk again soon!
SHIFT RPG is an innovative new roleplaying game system that lets GMs and players collaboratively build, create and play in any world you can imagine. It just launched and seems really sweet!
First stretch goal unlocked! The Rot King's Sanctum awaits!

We've hit 30K! This means the first addition to the Adventure Zine has been unlocked!
The zine will now be around 40 pages and contain a rework of The Rot King's Sanctum in addition to the Prison of the Fire Tyrant adventure. The rework includes new illustrations and new content in the sewers leading up to the dungeon.
The Rot King's Sanctum is a dungeon for a party HD 2-3. In this adventure, players aim uncover the secret plans of the Cult of the Black Tear while evading the Sanctum's traps and the religious zealots roaming its halls.
A mockup of the reworked version of the Sanctum. The final version will have more new illustrations.
If you haven't backed at the Adventurer tier or above, consider upgrading your pledge to get access to this zine of now increased size :)
Thank you so much for the support and talk soon!

Hey friends!
We are now funded! Thanks to your support, DURF Expanded is now firmly on its way to becoming a reality! It has been incredible to see the warm response to this thing I've been working on for so long :)
Upcoming Stretch Goals
There are lots of exciting stretch goals on the horizon as more backers join up. First up, I’ll be adding a classic DURF adventure to the Adventure Zine. This means it is free for everyone who backed at the tiers which include the zine!
The Rot King's Sanctum, sees players dealing with a religious cult hiding in the sewers beneath the city of Cliff's End. This adventure will be updated with all new illustrations of the creatures and locations within, and will be reworked to work with the rules changes brought by DURF Expanded!
I’ll keep you posted with updates as the campaign progresses and we unlock more stretch goals!
