A recent question from a reader prompted us to film this 😀

A recent question from a fan of both Domain of the Deathless King and The Dark Moon Rises, has led us to make short video. Maybe it is the first of many.

Nearly There....

Just letting you know that the final touches are being put to the pdf's of books 3 & 4, after delays with the artwork. Once the work has been shuffled back and forth between our designer, Bruce and Oliver, they will be ready to go out to backers and off to our printers.

Watch out for the Stranger!

Greetings, everybody!

I just wanted to thank all of you that have backed us on Kickstarter so far.

As I write, there are some malevolent giggles coming from The Archmage's desk as he adds some particularly sneaky bits into the books as he works. "Oh , they'll enjoy this bit," he chortles cheerfully. "The only downside is that it makes them impulsive, and they then have to make the first choice until the end of the book."

What will you do when you play? Choose greater power and be cursed and impulsive or fight on without the added benefit?

There are just 5 days left until the end of the campaign, and we are looking forward to getting everything sorted. The money raised will allow us to get great quality writing out to you in beautiful books along with stunning maps.

If you haven't backed us yet and you would still like to, then please join the campaign here. The Dark Moon is rising, and only you can save the afflicted from those who would have them cursed forever.

Important Update

A brand new game system from Archmage Press. No players? No problem!

19/03/2025

Following the success of the Domain of the Deathless King, Archmage Press is delighted to release this second massive DM-Less 5E adventure, The Dark Moon Rises.

Using our unique DM-Less rules, you can play this game of D&D, either alone, or with up to four players, but with absolutely no need for anyone to be the Dungeon Master. It is even compatible with both the 2014 and 2024 Fifth Edition rules.

It has the essence of a gamebook with the epic weight of an RPG, and all you need is your character sheet, the D&D 5E Player's Handbook, and a basic understanding of how D&D works; it's that simple!
