SPIREWITCH

Created by Frank Tedeschi

A D&D 5E dark fantasy adventure-mystery set in a broken spire filled with traps, undead, witchcraft, and a whispering demon.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

We did it! Thank you!

It’s over, it’s done. And we could not have done it without you. Thank you all for backing and supporting SPIREWITCH. We plan on making this little book pack a large necromantic punch to thrill/haunt your players in the best way possible.

What’s next?

The Spirewitch text has been written and edited and is just about ready to move into layout. The final art should be rolling in over the next few months and then hopefully we will be off to the printer before December.

The PDF Bundle

If you backed at a level that includes the PDF bundle expect an email from us within the next two weeks to receive links to all of the delicious digital content that is currently ready. The Spirewitch PDF, 29 Potions of Variable Potency and 29 Devlish Curses will go out as soon as they are through art and layout.

I will keep everyone posted with monthly updates, if you have any questions you can always drop me a message on Kickstarter or at [email protected].

What’s the best way to follow Dead Box Games?

Sign up for our newsletter at deadboxgames.com. We only email about twice a year with the most CRITICAL of info or discounts. Additionally, follow us on instagram (@deadboxgames) or follow Frank Tedeschi on facebook.

Will you be at any conventions this year?

Yes! Frank will be heading to Gary Con next week and likely running impromptu games of Adventurer’s Guild Admissions Office and SPIREWITCH! Reach out to him on facebook to play a game or just meet up for a pint.

Additionally, you’ll be able to find us at Gamehole Con in October where we will hopefully have a brand new booth set up and lots of fun games and news to share.

Thanks again for helping make this amazing game happen.

Until next time..

Your Friendly Dead Box Gamers,
Frank and Derrick
 

Breaking $2000 and the Home Stretch
8 months ago – Sun, Mar 10, 2024 at 11:32:44 AM

Greetings All!

The sun has begun to set behind the spire as we approach the end of this bewitching campaign. We are less than $50 away from our third stretch goal and the marvelous upgrading of the zine cover to a positively robust matte finish. It is within our grasp, we must simply reach out and take it for ourselves! The real question is, can we make it to $2000 before this party ends?

In a last grand effort to push up over the top to unlock a positively spectacular full page of art by Derrick Nau I ask you to share this campaign with your friends, fiends, family, and foes. 

Additionally, if you are backing at the SPIREWITCH ZINE and PDF level perhaps I can entice you to increase your pledge to the SPIREWITCH ZINE and PDF BUNDLE! What comes with the bundle?

  1. The smash hit adventure BLEAKSPROUT where peculiar whimsy meets cosmic horror in this bizarre adventure where you shrink down to 5mm and join up with some sentient spores and infiltrate a temple full of flea-folk cultists! Check out this video for more info: BLEAKSPROUT
  2. Adventurer’s Guild Admissions Office a DMguilds SILVER best seller! I’ve personally run this fantastic one-shot adventure over a dozen times at conventions over the past year and it is always a joy. There are secrets, puzzles, puns, a lovable goblin, and more traps than you can shake a table leg at. Read about it here: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/331893/Adventurers-Guild-Admissions-Office
  3. DM Candleskull Collection. DM Candleskull is an undead DM that has been running games for centuries. In this digital collection you’ll find tips, tricks, hints, and ideas to help you save time at the table coming up with zany ideas. Includes:
    1. 29 Pits to Fall in Love With
  1. 29 Things Found in your Enemies Pockets
  2. 29 NPC Names, Descriptions, and Occupations 
  3. 29 Devilish Curses
  4. 29 Peculiar Potions of Variable Potency, and more! 

That's all for now, see you in the spire.

Funded and First Stretch Goal Unlocked!
9 months ago – Thu, Feb 29, 2024 at 08:33:54 AM

Greetings Mortals! 

First off, thanks for backing. We have had an enormously exciting first two days and for that Derrick and I cannot thank you enough for supporting our project. 

We are just a handful of backers shy of busting through our second stretch goal where our artist extraordinaire Derrick Nau will add custom Marginalia art to the Spirewitch book. This art will make each page a bit more magical, drawing you deeper into the lair of the Spirewitch and her demon.

But wait, there's more! Be sure to check out our Add-Ons on our main page below our Stretch Goals. We have very few copies of our limited Edition Risograph print BLEAKSPROUT available as well as our Goblin dice bidding game GOBLIN TEETH! 

These were both designed by me and illustrated by Derrick and we could not be more proud of how they turned out! You can catch a glimpse of Bleaksprout below. 

That's all for now, see you in the SPIRE!

Cheers,

Frank 

Isn't it beautiful?
