Swindler's Luck Part One - Coming Mid-May!
🕑 Added 2023-05-02 18:46:00 +0000 UTCHello everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend. I have some info on our release for May - Swindler's Luck Part One!
TWO PART ADVENTURES
We are trying something new this month (and next) where we are going to be doing 2-part adventures. May will be part one and June will be the conclusion / part two. We have one more of these two parter adventure releases planned for this year. The next one will be August / September!
After these two, two parters, if the community likes them, we will try to do 2-3 per year!
SWINDLER'S LUCK PART ONE - Coming Mid-May
This is due to the size and detail of the sky tavern. It was started a little late due to having to perfect certain things. We apologize for the delay in this one, but we are also streamlining our process a bit more and future releases should be right on time!
Due to a violent storm, Tibor Zyste, a wealthy merchant, has taken refuge at Cloudtop Tavern. Having recently come into a large sum of gold, after selling damaged goods to sky pirates, Tibor has taken the opportunity to celebrate as he flaunts his wealth. Eager to take his gold for their own, the patrons are engaging in a series of different gambling games with Tibor, including betting against him on the Brawler’s Pit, a fighting arena pitting patrons against the powerful brawler guardian. As a night of drinking, gambling, and revelry ensues, will the characters enjoy their restful stay in Cloudtop Tavern, or will a looming threat ruin their night?
CLOUDTOP TAVERN (SKY TAVERNS)
As the citizens of Sordane took to the skies with the advent of airships and sordalite technology, many things had to adapt to the rapid changes this brought about. The beloved taverns that provided rest, relaxation, and merriment for generations, were one of these things. No longer necessary to be built only on busy pathways or in crowded cities, barkeeps and innkeepers alike had to adjust, taking to the skies by building on small earthbergs and sky platforms. These new sky taverns were unlike any other taverns in Sordane, offering the unique experience of resting comfortably among the clouds without the rigged confines of most airships.
This is one of our most ambitious projects yet (and the time to get it done is evident!) This beast of a model will be 6 levels when fully build. 1 main floor, 3 upper accommodation floors and 2 lower basement levels (Kitchen and engine room). If you can spot our little old bard there on the main walkway outside the tavern, it will give you a sense of scale for this beast!
REWARDS INCLUDED IN SWINDLER'S LUCK PART ONE
90+ STLs! (59 new and 31+ old) - These consist of NPCs, monsters, heroes, scatter, and a 6 level playable sky tavern - Cloudtop Tavern. We are adding in some older STLs in order to pack out the tavern with more STLs! There are 34 new scatter terrain pieces and 21 old ones (from Mighty Skies) as well as about a dozen already released STLs from previous releases, Skies of Sordane, etc. We will still have a ton of new STLs for you though!

NEW VTT SUPPORT
We have always supported Foundry VTT with each release, but we are now also going to be providing support for Alchemy RPG and Roll20. Every month, Navigator and Admiral tier subscribers will gain access to these platforms as well - really boosting the value of your subscriptions.
Past Release VTT Support
We have not yet decided 100% how to handle past release access. It's not a very straightforward process, but we will do what we can to make it as easier as possible for those with access to certain adventures already able to use them in the VTT of their choice. Whether that's a free code to redeem or a reduced cost - not 100% sure yet. I will have exact information on how we will handle this when we release part one of Swindler's Luck.
PRINT & PAINT COMPETITION EXTENSION - JULY 17TH DEADLINE
Due to the sheer awesomeness of Cloudtop Tavern, we are going to extend the painting competition submission deadline from May 31st to July 17th (Monday). I originally didn't think we would have a reason for extending the competition, but when I had the dates of the competition planned out, we had not yet dreamt up the Cloudtop Tavern and as it came closer to release, I realised we may let a great opportunity slip by! So we're extending the competition by 6 weeks to allow those who want to print Cloudtop Tavern!

8 MONTH LOYALTY REWARD COMING IN JUNE/JULY
The next monthly reward is coming. We've just been quite delayed on it as our capacity for airship production was limited. We are increasing it and we are also looking to make slightly more reasonable loyalty rewards!
The 8 month loyalty reward will be the Delver Class Dreadnought. A lot of you may recognize this ship from Aldarra as the Mining Corp. Coalition's largest miniature in the game. The model itself is looking insanely awesome. I will be sharing more details of that with you all likely next month when the sculptor has time to get back to it!
Sorry for the delay on this, everyone!
Thanks to you all for supporting us and continuing to love our products and all the effort we put into them!
Best
Benny and the AM team
