Kickstarter Korner - Sly Flourish’s Fantastic Locations

In Kickstarter Korner we preview new gaming projects that catch our eye…and compel us to pull out our wallet.

Sly Flourish’s Fantastic Locations certainly fits the bill here. We currently have several Sly Flourish books in our library including The Lazy Dungeon Master & Sly Flourish’s Dungeon Master Tips so we are familiar with his work.

Authored by Mike Shea (aka Sly Flourish), these books are easy reads and are jam packed with useful, actionable information & tips. If Sly Flourish’s Fantastic Locations comes anywhere close to the value of Mike’s previous books, then this will be money well spent.

Here’s a brief description from the Kickstarter page detailing what’s included:

Sly Flourish’s Fantastic Locations is a book, available in PDF and print-on-demand, that gives you fifteen system-agnostic fantastic locations to drop into your favorite fantasy roleplaying game. Each location builds on a fantastic theme, such as a mysterious ancient structure under the ice, a cursed castle of a mad king, a fallen celestial fortress, and a dwarven mine that cracked into the tomb of a dead god. Each location includes artwork by Brian Patterson ofD20Monkey. Sometimes this artwork takes the form of maps. Sometimes it’s an overlook of a specific location.

These sites and structures aren’t full adventures. Instead, you and your players build your own stories in these fantastic locations, then you populate them with the monsters that fit your story.

This book is system agnostic. You can use it in just about any fantasy roleplaying game.

And here’s a short message from the author:

As of today the project has already funded, and the Kickstarter is moving steadily towards the stretch goals. We’ve already backed Fantastic Locations ourselves, and are hoping the full-color stretch goals are reached. It looks like it’s well on its way.
