Alligator Alley Entertainment is running a Kickstarter for Tales and Tomes from the Forbidden Library, a combination sourcebook and adventure module that features input from some of the biggest names in tabletop role-playing games. The book is designed for use with the fifth edition of Dungeons & Dragons and will release in October.
The adventure element of Forbidden Library lures players into the long-forbidden Eastern Wing of the Hearthglow Academy library. Over the course of a three-adventure campaign, designed for low-level characters, the adventurers must uncover and survive the secrets that forced the closure of the wing. The adventure was written by Gregory A. Wilson, professor of English at St. John’s University and speculative fiction author.
The sourcebook side of the book was inspired by a presentation at the Gen Con Writers Symposium, and Alligator Alley has recruited a number of well-known gaming and speculative fiction writers to fill the library with books and lore designed to serve as inspiration for further adventures. The list of contributing authors includes Ed Greenwood, Matt Forbeck, Aaron Rosenberg, Michael R. Underwood, Cat Rambo, Carlos Hernandez, Kenneth Hite, Will Hindmarch, Darcy Ross, Hal Mangold, James Introcaso, Greg Marks, Shawn Merwin, Henry Lopez, T. S. Luikart, Will Doyle, Paul Alexander Butler, George Holland, Charles Ryan, Liz Chaipraditkul, Robert Adducchi, Ashley Warren, John Wick, Alex Kammer, Ginny Loveday, Cam Banks, Mariam Ahmad, Alastor Guzman, Alan Patrick, Amr El-Azizi, M. T. Black, Rob Donoghue, and Will Sobel.
The Kickstarter has 4 days to go (as of this writing) and is fully funded.
The book itself will be a hardcover volume with full-color throughout. The final page count and MSRP have not been set, but the publisher expects it to fall in the $30.00 to $35.00 range at retail.
