HELP! (Patreon)

Personally, I still don’t believe this happened. I had one small goal—to make a war beast stat block—but by the time I thought it through, I realized my desires reached much further than that. I wanted guns, Guardian classes, Ghost mechanics, and ahamkara stat blocks. I wanted a system for storytelling that would allow people, myself included, to share the Destiny universe with folks beyond the video game.

It was a random, spur-of-the-moment decision. It changed so many lives beyond just my own.

Four years later and not only do I have a war beast stat block, but now there’s a whole dev team behind Dungeons & Destiny. Together we’ve made three books on how to run a D&Destiny campaign, covering everything from classes to weapon upgrades to how to build monsters for D&Destiny specifically. We ran three West Marches (AKA “MMO”) D&Destiny campaigns on our Discord server, with a fourth slated to start in August or September this year. And we’ve got people coming into the server and sharing their artwork, homebrew, and stories from their campaigns—their own campaigns, which they’ve conceived and built themselves.

It’s all been incredibly magical. That is exactly the word for it: magical. Absolutely hair-pullingly intense and stressful at times, yes, but magical nonetheless.

So, what do we need help with?

The Deck of Possibilities™ is our first product and original IP—our first attempt at standing on our own two feet. We love D&Destiny and yes, we will still be working on it. However, the Deck is our thing, and we love it, too. We want so badly to see it succeed.

That is what we need your help with. We’re not Wizards of the Coast, we’re not Paizo, we’re not Critical Role. We don’t have a huge marketing budget or millions of followers. We need your help to spread the word.

We would love it if you could take the time to forward some information on the Deck to even just one other person you know, and encourage them to pass the message along to someone else they know, too. Reblog us, retweet us—heck, feel free to take any of the image below and re-post it on your platforms of choice. Just please link to our GameFound page when you do (and here’s a short link you can use: linke.to/ttrpg ).

And if you’re feeling particularly bold…

You could really help us out by making a social media post about the Deck and @ your favorite D&D content creator in it. If they have open DMs, please consider sending a polite message to them, too. We’d love the opportunity to talk to folks at Polygon, Dimension20, Not Another D&D Podcast, and yeah, MCDM or Critical Role, as well. If you could help us reach them, we would be beyond grateful. The Deck is so much more powerful than what the current GameFound page is capable of conveying.

If even just 10 of you reading this reached out, you would be helping us big time. But please, don’t assume someone else will take the initiative. If you like what we do and personally believe in the quality of what we make, please BE the one to reach out. I know for some of you making contact like this can be tough, but we’re really counting on you to help us out here.

The success of our work has always relied on you, our players. That’s been true since we got together as an informal crew to work on D&Destiny as a fan project, and it’s even more the case now that we’re a new, small game studio bringing our first product to the world. Every one of us at Velvet Fang is beyond excited to get the Deck into your hands—indeed, into as many hands as possible. We hope you’ll help us make that happen, and we can’t wait to see what all of you will do once you can shuffle up the Deck yourselves and start dealing your own unique adventures!
