Necrotic Gnome in upcoming D&D documentary! New adventures and character classes!

The Gnome features in 50 Years of Fantasy documentary film!

Guild Productions and Build Something Media have announced the production schedule for the documentary 50 Years of Fantasy, directed by Blake DeRusha, which explores five decades of Dungeons & Dragons.

The ambitious project is slated to be packed full of rare archival footage, visual recreations, and in-depth interviews with artists and creators involved in fantasy gaming through its various lineages. This includes plenty of personalities from the old-school revival, one being Gavin Norman, creator of Necrotic Gnome, OSE, and Dolmenwood!

Aiming for a release in fall 2024, 50 Years of Fantasy is soliciting donations from fantasy gaming fans to help fund production and stories, photos, and memorabilia. To quote the team:

“We want to make this everything the community deserves in a documentary film, from telling the story of Dungeons & Dragons to highlighting the people who love and play the game, carrying the torch for future generations. But we can't do it without your support!”

The Fantasy Grind

Experience four epic adventures with The Fantasy Grind, a bundle of 12-panelled brochure hexcrawls:

• War Orcs: Navigate a region wracked by warring orc tribes, aid refugee Dwarves and Halflings, and scavenge randomised battlefield treasures.
• Dark Dwarves: Explore the Dark Dwarves’ grim lands and plunder their treasure hoards amidst a spreading madness.
• Desert Dogs: The Gnolls worship an eldritch monolith as shards of elder gods fall from space.
• Death Empire: The Dead Emperor Adafi spreads his Dark Gloom empire with life and death variants for each location.

The master pamphlet, The Shadow Master, provides a cohesive map, monster stats for 5E and OSE, and essential tools for game management. Backers can grab digital versions and physical copies, plus two Dry Erase Stickers and a pen for tracking troop movements. 

Flames & Flails: The Fiery Forge!

This six-panel, one-page pamphlet adventure (8.5" x 11") immerses players in a scorched realm where fire is the only source of magical power. Featuring three character classes (fighter, rogue, fire mage) and a hyper-focus on flame-based magic and monsters, The Fiery Forge is fantastic for a fast and furious game session with fiery flavour. The campaign has already met its funding goals, but backers can pick up the PDF and print versions for just a few dollars.
