The Blades of Gixa: A #dungeon23 Megadungeon by Quadra

🧢 500+ Backers! Hats off to you! (New Add-On!)

Hello lovely backers! There are now over 500 of you, which is quite incredible! Thanks so much for being a part of this campaign.

I don't know about you, but when I made the Blades Of Gixa logo, I sat back and had a sudden desire to see it embroidered on a hat! And now that we have a critical mass of backers, I feel comfortable offering it as the final physical reward — at a big discount to backers during the campaign.

Here are mock-ups of the front and back! Designs will be embroidered on 100% black cotton baseball caps:

We haven't fully finalized the design yet — plus there will be an additional thoughtful detail or two not shown here — but this gives you an idea of what you'll be getting :) Hats will be just $25 during the campaign, and $35 after, so now's a great time to add 'em to your pledges!

Note: the hat is not included in any pledge tier, and is only available as an add-on!

Thank you all again for your support! More updates coming soon :)

🎶 400% Funded! Soundtrack Unlocked!
over 1 year ago – Mon, Mar 03, 2025 at 03:13:21 PM

The Blades Of Gixa has reached 400% funding ($20k), which means we've passed another stretch goal! As thanks, all backers will now get a soundtrack for the module, created in collaboration with Galen Drew (who also made the Warped Beyond Recognition soundtrack).

The next stretch goal is an adaptation guide for the megadungeon. The Blades Of Gixa is designed to be broadly compatible with old-school style RPGs (B/X, Old School Essentials, Whitehack, Knave, etc.), but as with any such module, a little extra guidance can be helpful! This will also include some considerations and recommendations for playing with stuff that's a bit further removed, like 5E.

Thank you all for getting us here!

🦎 300% Funded! Stickers stretch goal hit :)

Thank you all so much for your support! 

We've surpassed 300% ($15k), which means our second stretch goal is fulfilled: all physical orders will now ship with some very lovely stickers for you to slap on your notebooks or whatever you like. They'll have some designs from the dungeon, and at least one of them will feature our kobold adventurer mascot Tino ;)

The next stretch goal is at $20k, and will be familiar to backers of my previous Kickstarter, Warped Beyond Recognition: a dungeon soundtrack! Working with Galen Drew on the WBR soundtrack was a ton of fun, and I'm very excited to get to collaborate with him again. The soundtrack will be provided to all backers in the form of an mp3 album, and to physical backers as a tat project.

Thanks again!

🎬 200% Funded!

Hi all, 

I'm happy to announce that we got to 200% funded on day one! Thank you all so much. This means we've hit our first stretch goal and are on our way to our second:

So in addition to text project updates like this one, I'll also be making some additional videos about the project. I have some ideas about what these might be, and right now I'm leaning towards "Gixa Guides": walkthroughs of levels with explanations and thoughts about what's going on there, and what you might want to consider when running them. Stuff that'll hopefully be helpful to watch as a Referee before running this thing.

Our next stretch goal is at $15k, and it's a fun one: stickers! I have stickers by Kem (who designed the Warped Beyond Recognition shirt) on the notebook I drew this in, and really, what's a notebook without some stickers? I haven't designed these yet, but they'll probably have some iconography and characters from the dungeon, as well as this campaign's mascot, Tino the kobold.

In other campaign news, I've added the print Warped Beyond Recognition module and BRAIN DRAIN patch as add-ons to this campaign, so if you've been meaning to grab those, you can now add 'em to your pledge!

And finally, almost half of the limited edition totes have been claimed! If you're interested in grabbing one, there are only 28 left!

Thanks again for your support and helping make this happen!

74 minutes is all it took to hit our funding goal! I'm floored by the response — we've been getting over a backer a minute since launch! Thank you all so much for your support. I'm looking forward to hitting stretch goals, giving everyone updates about the project, and getting all this cool stuff made and in your hands!
