5 months ago – Tue, Jul 09, 2024 at 11:46:33 AM

Lazy Wolf Studios has been growing quite a bit. To celebrate, to thank you for being one of our supporters, and to prepare us for the next Big Thing, we're giving away a free adventure to everyone who signs up for the Lazy Wolves newsletter.

Troll of the Town, written by Kelly Pawlik is a full-color 50 page adventure for Dungeons & Dragons and Black Flag Roleplaying. It features stunning artwork, gorgeous cartography from Heroic Maps, 3 new magic items, and 15 new monsters and NPCs. Intended for 3rd-level characters, it can be played on its own or as a follow up to Banner of the Bulland Keeper of the Drowned.

And I’m going to send the PDF, via DriveThruRPG, to everyone who signs up for my newsletter, Lazy Wolves!

From the Description:

The people of Bense are under threat. Something has been sneaking into the city at night and stealing from its citizens. Tracks in the dirt suggest it can be only one thing—a forest troll. In fact, Hurnukkle the troll has haunted Raven’s Wood near the town of Bense for years, occasionally preying on livestock and travelers near the town. Several ventures to roust and slay the menace have been mounted, but so far the canny giant has avoided trouble. The freefolk of Bense are up in arms about the thefts and concerned about the city’s security. The jarl wants the matter dealt with before challengers to his leadership present themselves. For a brave band of heroes, it’s time to go on a troll hunt!

Banner of the Bull - a new Thrones & Bones adventure!
about 1 year ago – Sun, Nov 19, 2023 at 11:59:09 AM

Hi all,

I'm posting today to let you know about a new adventure for Thrones & Bones: Norrøngard. I didn't produce a Kickstarter for this one. Rather, it was part of the Partner Pack Add-On for Kobold Press' new 5e-based system, Black Flag Roleplaying. As such, the adventure was delivered to Kobold Press backers and then went directly to DriveThruRPG for general sales.

Banner of the Bull is a 1st level adventure for Black Flag Roleplaying (but fully compatible with 5th edition Dungeons & Dragons). Right now, you can purchase it in PDF and softcover formats. A hardcover edition is expected to be available in a few weeks. The adventure starts out in the city of Bense and journeys to the border of Norrøngard territory, where the characters encounter strange fey outside of Norrønian experience. Banner of the Bull features 5 new lineages and heritages specific to the setting and 16 new creatures and NPCs. For those who play online, see the Banner of the Bull: VTT Tokens,featuring 27 character and creature tokens (and on sale through the link for just $2 now through November 30th.) Also see the Banner of the Bull Map Pack, a digital map pack for all the battlemaps in this volume, featuring 7 beautifully illustrated maps. It is available on DriveThruRPG from Heroic Maps for both VTT use and home printing.

Thanks so much for your support!

We've there! 

The hardcover of the Deluxe Gamer Edition of Tales from Stolki's Hall is done and being sent out direct from DriveThruRPG to backers. Everyone who ordered it should get or have gotten an email from DriveThruRPG alerting them that the order has been placed, and it will print and ship directly from their printer. Feel free to let me know when you get yours (and please post pictures to social media!). And, of course, if you are so inclined, leave a review on DriveThruRPG. You can also let me know what you think about the stories on the Thrones & Bones Discord. Thank you everyone for helping us get here.

Meanwhile, they'll be news of a new Thrones & Bones release next week! And with that, I'll leave you with some pictures of the deluxe hardcover.

Deluxe Hardcover Progress
about 1 year ago – Sat, Sep 30, 2023 at 11:48:35 AM

Well, good news/bad news.

I uploaded the printer files on the 8th of this month, and it took until the 23rd to get the proofs back from the printer, and while all the art looks fabulous, there are a few things I want to tweak. So the process starts over. I'm in touch with DriveThruRPG about those tweaks, and when it's resolved, I'll have to reupload and reorder. Hopefully the second proof has a faster turn around than the first. I'm sorry for the delay, but it's looking like later in October before I can send deluxe hardcovers out. 

Meanwhile, here are some pictures from the first proof. Thanks for your patience as I get this perfect. More as I know it!
