I backed two Kickstarters from Absolute Tabletop,  Adventure Kit: Oath of the Frozen King, and A Dead Man’s Guide to Dragongrin: 5E Campaign Setting Guide. Because I liked their adventure kit concept, see my review here, I backed the Dragongrin Kickstarter, as it holds more tools.

The Adventure Kit concept is something a GM can build on their own, to help them build adventures in their world. If you don’t want to build your own custom tables, you can get an Adventure Kit and use it to get you on your way creating adventures for your players.

Their new Kickstarter is Adventure Kit: Shadows Over Driftchapel, a setting inspired by the Victorian era. It’s a gaslamp, and perhaps steampunk type setting. The book is done, along with editing and layout. The Kickstarter is to fund more art and printing.

A 5e setting with the Adventure Kit model, something that should appeal to the OSR.

Here’s the blurb leading from the Press Release:

A vast and loathsome shadow approaches – coming Tuesday, September 4 from Absolute Tabletop…

Introducing the upcoming Kickstarter for our second volume of ENnie-nominated Adventure Kits™ – Shadows Over Driftchapel. 

Shadows Over Driftchapel is a fantasy horror adventure set in Gloam, our Victorian/Colonial-inspired world brimming with eldritch horrors, flickering gaslight, and destructive black powder. This versatile adventure-building resource contains everything you’ve come to love about Adventure Kits: modular locations and encounters, intriguing NPCs and fulfilling plotlines, encounter and scene generators ready for on-the-fly-use – plus a few extra stretch goals, if you’ll help us fund beyond our mark!

Hither comes the Gloam – on Tuesday, September 4, the Kickstarter begins, and the monstrosities and madness of Driftchapel will be thrust upon you… 

Follow us on Kickstarter to get real-time updates, and be one of the first to help fund our next Adventure Kit, Shadows Over Driftchapel! https://www.kickstarter.com/profile/absolutetabletop
