Wilderness Monsters by Cawood on Kickstarter Now
about 3 years ago
– Fri, Feb 26, 2021 at 06:24:47 PM
Now every Wilderness adventure needs Monsters as well as maps, and as luck would have it our friends over at Cawood Publishing have a Wilderness inspired Book of Monsters on Kickstarter right now!
We can recommend their monster books as we have all of them and we're big fans!!
More on Cawood's Monsters on the Wilderness
Monsters of the Wilderness: Oswald's Curse is the 4th book in the bestselling 5E Monster Series. It will be the biggest yet, 140-160 pages with up to 120 new monsters.
This unique collection of monsters will include dragons, giants, fiends, undead, fey, monstrosities, lycanthropes, aberrations, elementals, and beasts. Each monster will have a full-colour illustration, stat block, and bio. We'll also have new magical items, adventure hooks, GM advice, encounter tables, region information pages, events tables, locations tables, CR and creature type lists, and more.
The book is divided into 7 wilderness regions: Ocean, Arctic, Desert, Swamp/Jungle, Forest, Hills/Lakes, and Mountains. Each region has a wizard or witch from the Wizard Council and a monstrous titan.
We're thrilled to add Cawood will be using our Wilderness maps to stage some monster battles before their campaign is over!
Happy Adventuring!

Amazing work everyone!
We have now met our £150,000 stretch goal, and excitingly this means DECALS!
We will include one pack (5 A4 sheets, 90+ stickers) with every physical books set. So Now backers at Wilderness, Extended Wilderness and One of Everything pledge levels will get one free pack, and backers at Double Wilderness and Wilderness Master get 2 packs.
These packs of 90+ stickers across 5 A4 sheets are for further customising your wipe clean maps.
Add tree tops, bushes, boulders, perilous features and of course bottomless ravines in moments!
Our Decals are actually static clings that work on any laminated surface. They are durable, reusable and don't move around!
With an RRP of £9.99 per pack, this means ultimate value for our backers!
A closer look at some decals
If we raise £175,000 we will replace the plain grids (4 pages total in the Wilderness set and 2 in the Little Book) with new peril filled Wilderness maps!
We'd like your input of what this should be! Below is a link to a google survey to help us decide what to add!
We will announce the results as we approach meeting the stretch goal, and you'll be able to watch Matt draw the new map on our Live Twitch Map drawing sessions every Monday!
Please Don't forget to keep sharing this campaign so we can get all our stretch goals met!! I have pinned posts to our FB and Twitter profiles so please share that post!! (if we hit 100 FB shares and 100 retweets we add 20 "Ruins" digital tokens to the Digital Wilderness!)
(update - we have 68 Retweets and 31 Facebook shares so not too far to go before we unlock those Ruins tokens!!)
As we fly into our last week...

I know we are running a short (ish) campaign this time around, but the days are just flying past too quickly!
As we have 7 days left (and I am feeling very good about our next stretch goal at £175,000) I have been having a sneaky early look at the survey results for the replacement maps for the plain grids. Some amazing suggestions there and a very close race between the map ideas.
This rather epic D20 dwarfs our other dice! Constructed out of layers of coloured wood, this beast of a dice is hard to miss! It has a very good roll action, and is finished with a custom 20 of our very own Viking Cat logo (designed for us by Paul Stapleton of Bedsit Games).
Supersize exclusive D20. Seen here on the left.
Beautiful Wilderness inspired colours. Seen here with my usual dice set!
This exclusive D20 is available in the One of Everything Please and Wilderness Master Pledge Levels, or as an optional purchase in the pledge manager!
We carefully selected the colours of this D20 to reflect our Wilderness theme, and also colours which for us represent D&D as a whole. We rather like the result!
We will not be retailing this dice after the Kickstarter ends so unlike our map books it won't be available in shops or online. So be quick if you'd like to add this to your collection.
Please Don't forget to keep sharing this campaign so we can get all our stretch goals met!! I have pinned posts to our FB and Twitter profiles so please share that post!! (if we hit 100 FB shares and 100 retweets we add 20 "Ruins" digital tokens to the Digital Wilderness!)
(update - we have 84 Retweets and 69 Facebook shares so not too far to go before we unlock those Ruins tokens!!)
Don't forget to catch Matt live Map Drawing over on Twitch at 22.00 GMT - Twitch.tv/lokebattlemats - He's adding more features and scenery to the Swamp maps for the books!
And Finally we want to shout out to the author of our stretch Goal 5e Adventure - "The Incident at Ursula Island" Stephen Hart. Stephen's new Kickstarter - Contemplation - A zine of personal discovery - goes live tomorrow (23 Jan). You can check it out here - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/undiscoveredgems/contemplation
Thanks again for your amazing support!

A closer look at The Watch Tower maps!
about 3 years ago
– Fri, Feb 19, 2021 at 02:32:03 AM
We are working to make these books as good as they can be.
And a big part of that is listening to your feedback and thoughts. We have aimed to get a lot into these map books. Instead of a dungeon or a town we are mapping a whole world and want to cover the maps that we feel will be of most use to most people.
In order to do this we have made the decision to remove the ship at sea maps and replace them with the Watchtower. The maps on the campaign page have been updated to show this change.
The books retain 2 pages of oceans, 2 pages of coral bay, 2 pages of Islands, 2 pages of "stormy coast" and 2 pages of frozen coast.
Here's a closer look at the Watch Tower maps -
We are heading towards our next stretch goal of £150k when we will add a FREE pack (5 sheets, 90+ stickers) of Wilderness Decals with every physical book set.
And our final stretch goal, at £175K, is to replace the plain grids in both books with more Wilderness Maps! We are collecting all your ideas from the comments section and will pop out a survey to help decide what to put on those pages if we hit the stretch goal!
Please Don't forget to keep sharing this campaign so we can get all our stretch goals met!! I have pinned posts to our FB and Twitter profiles so please share that post!! (if we hit 100 FB shares and 100 retweets we add 20 "Ruins" digital tokens to the Digital Wilderness!)
If you'd like to see how this new map came together you can check out Matt drawing it on our Twitch - twitch.tv/lokebattlemats
Announcing our Social Stretch Goals
about 3 years ago
– Mon, Feb 15, 2021 at 10:15:15 PM
It has been an amazing launch!
Thank you all for backing this Kickstarter. We are beyond thrilled with how the first few days have gone and we are loving hearing all your thoughts and comments about the maps and decals.
Now we are past the crazy busy first few days we'd like to introduce our social stretch goals. Please everyone keep sharing and talking about this campaign so we can get our stretch goals hit!
To help with this we've introduced a social goal reward, which will be unlocked if we can get enough shares on our pinned posts.
We will design 20 ruins tokens to go into the digital Wilderness so you can add even more customisations to your online games!
Lets get those posts shared and get the word out!
A little reminder that Matt will be on Twitch tonight at 22.00 GMT Twitch.tv/lokebattlemats and he'll be drawing the new watchtower map!
Our next stretch goal adds a pack of decals FREE with every book set so lets get that goal met!
Please keep commenting with what maps you'd love to see! If we hit our £175k Stretch Goal we'll be swapping our the plain grids for more peril filled Wilderness Maps and we'll be led by backers as to what that will be!
