State of Play | September (Patreon)

Hey all!

So here's our first "State of Play" a monthly wrap up with what's going on with the Patreon, The MAD Network, and everything in between! We'll be rolling one of these out towards the end of every month to keep you appraised of what we've been up to and what you might have missed out on! If you have any thoughts you want to share, then this post is the place to do it and throw your comments down below!

First up...

Choose Your MADventure | Poll Winner

This month we launched our first "Choose Your MADventure" poll for our All The Things™ supporters, two maps from our back catalogue that we're going to turn into a full 5e adventure (PDF and Foundry VTT module). It was a back and forth between the two options but the final winner was...

Rootbound Rot: 58% of the voteHidden within a once-tranquil forest sanctuary, blighted, thorn-choked roots are strangling the life from the resident druids. This APL 1 adventure focuses on identifying the source of the corruption and cleansing it before the grove collapses for good.

We'll give you more information next month about our progress with the adventure and show you some WIPs, with the final adventure beind released at the beginning of November!

Reforged Maps | Last Call for September's Scarlet Rot Swamp Map Set

We've started taking old maps and changing them up into new, exciting variants, exclusive to our newsletter subscribers for a full month before we put the maps on our stores (and on the Forge's Bazaar for the Foundry VTT module). This month we took some of our maps and made our own versions of the Scarlet Rot Swamp from Elden Ring. Go sign up to the Newsletter in September to make sure you grab the free digital maps or Foundry JSON!

Patreon "Quips"

Patreon rolled out their new "Quips" feature, so you'll start seeing the occasional behind the scenes peak at what we do with The MAD Network. Alex hasn't done much in the way of short form videos so it's a slow and steady process! If you see them popping up on your feed, It would be great if you could spread some love and show some support.

Free Maps + Updated Foundry VTT Module

We’ve refreshed our free map pack (both digital maps and the Foundry VTT module) and have them, as well as all our content, fully compatible with v12 and v13. If you're not one of our paying patrons, then make sure you go grab the pack and get it updated!

SPOTLIGHT | Danse Macabre (Kickstarter)

Explore the mysteries of a world beyond death. History, mutant madness, and old-school combat meet at the end of humanity.

With each State of Play we're going to spotlight a creator or product we think you might like, for our first spotlight we’re shouting out Danse Macabre: Medieval Horror Roleplaying! From our pals over at Stillfleet Studio, Danse Macabre: Medieval Horror Roleplaying comes from the twisted mind of Christopher Pickett.

A moody OSR style take on horror and human frailty in our own twisted alternate history where in the 14th century death is no longer the end; those revivified to return to this forsaken world take on maleficia, mutations of the spirit and flesh, and do battle against demonic hordes.If you love tense roleplay, dire choices, and creeping dread, give this one a look:

The Kickstarter launches in October, so go check out the pre-launch page and follow it! While you're there, make sure you grab the free Digital PDF containing the core rules, and some awesome playable content!
