Delvers to Grow: Now LIVE on Kickstarter!
Delvers to Grow is now LIVE on Kickstarter!!
Zero-to-Hero with the Dungeon Fantasy RPG Even the mightiest delver started somewhere. An apprentice, a squire or man-at-arms, a backup singer with The Backstreet Bards. Delvers to Grow allows you to take the part of those starting characters, supporting starting play as low as 62 points. Delvers to Grow provides pre-built modules and packages enabling a player to create a capable, playable character in minutes. Get gaming. Fast. Early playtesting (blind-testing, really) showed that you could get from "blank sheet of paper" to "playing" in less than 20 minutes. Fully compatible with the professional template system in the Dungeon Fantasy RPG Adventurers book, Delvers to Grow lets you start much earlier in the hero’s journey, letting both players and GMs ease into the full breadth of capability that the professional delvers of the Dungeon Fantasy RPG bring to the table. Explore different challenges or use the modules to effortlessly assemble henchmen…or create a starting character to replace the dearly departed. Roll and Shout with Delvers to Grow The Delvers to Grow project supports these goals:
Pledge levels allow you to get the books (and the new adventure by Peter Dell’Orto and Marshall LaPira, The Crypt of Krysuvik), or go bigger and catch up on any Norđlond you may have missed. Don’t have the boxed set? Steve Jackson Games has graciously allowed me to offer a “Starter Package” pledge that includes the Dungeon Fantasy RPG boxed set and Monsters 2. Delvers to Grow is LIVE on Kickstarter, and will run through May 25. Please come by and pledge, and remember: all stretch goals are by backer count, not funding level! So tell your friends!

Re: Delvers to Grow: Now LIVE on Kickstarter!
Thanks. I wound up delaying things by a week, but had already gotten a head start on the project. Let me edit where needed.

Re: Delvers to Grow: Now LIVE on Kickstarter!
Question: the Kickstarter page says Fast Delvers, Smart Delvers, and Strong Delvers are 16 pages each. But no page count is listed for the main volume—how long is it?

Re: Delvers to Grow: Now LIVE on Kickstarter!
That seems like a good idea. I ran a campaign in Worminghall shortly after the book came out, with the PCs being student mages, and we had a lot of fun with it. Of course that wasn't dungeon crawling, but I think the idea could transfer over.

Re: Delvers to Grow: Now LIVE on Kickstarter!
Wow, that's a sleek Kickstarter campaign - all those options and add-ons. Nice selected of stretch goasl too. Backed the Print & PDF bundle and might add-on some stuff later after I talked to my friends.

Long-time rules experts can do this sometimes without help. But perusing the newcomers section of (say) the GURPS Discord or some other forums perpetually finds folks who try and eat the whole GURPS Cow at once...and Delvers to Grow really helps this.

Re: Delvers to Grow: Now LIVE on Kickstarter!
It seems to be shaping up at 32 or 36 pages. It's vague at the moment because I don't want to pin it down until I know.

Re: Delvers to Grow: Now LIVE on Kickstarter!
A preliminary no-art layout is now 34 pages. We still need a few more things in the manuscript, like wizard spell options, and art. So I'm going to amend and say 36-40 pages. It'll be whatever it takes, though!
