Awakened II ARC's Are Out!!!
The Awakened II will be launched on Kickstarter in mid-June, we are self publishing so the book will be done and ready to release to backers as soon as the monies clear, at that time we will send the book to the printer for the paperback and limited edition hardcovers as well, so the turn around to fans should be much quicker. We are very excited about this and hope you join us in helping fund this long overdue project.
The ARC's or advanced reader copies were sent to the authors for final approval, so we are moving along at a very advanced pace.

The Wayfaring Guide to Haven for Pathfinder and 5e Now Available
Now available from Samurai Sheepdog: The Wayfaring Guide to Haven.
No time to detail out a village for your party to visit or call home? Haven offers them exactly that. With a collection of craftsmen able to create most mundane equipment, a resident wizard, and the helpful cleric who runs the Head on a Pint Inn, Haven makes for an interesting home away from home.
But Haven is more than just a small getaway. It also plays host to a world-spanning competition known as the Tournament Grounds. Your group can sign up for the next, or be inadvertently thrown into it when they kill another participant in battle and claim its tournament stone.
The Wayfaring Guide to Haven offers several adventure ideas on both a large and small scale, npcs, maps, and rules for tournament stones. Check it out, or it'll be your head on a pint!

Play Test Adventure In!!
Want to be a blind play tester? Here's what we're looking for...
Game group leaders or members of board gaming groups who can pass the game around to lots of people. The larger the group, the better! Also, members of role playing game associations (pathfinder, D&D, etc) who have 3 or more role playing groups that could take the game for a spin. And finally, people who have a group which regularly does play testing. If you don't fall into those categories but think you have a good reason we should let you play test a copy, throw us a line anyway!
We feel one of the strongest qualities of the game is how fast and easy it is to set up and play. A "play while we wait for everyone to show up" style game and we'd like people to evaluate it in this light.
What do you get for your time?
An early look at the game with a professional quality prototype to review.
A PDF of the game rules emailed to you, but note these may continue to be updated as the final blind testing feedback rolls in. The rule book will continue to be a "living document" for a few weeks as we move through the blind play testing. If you aren't aware, that just means nothing is finalized yet and the rules will be updated and revised regularly.
Anyone who helps with play testing will be listed in the rule book.
Anyone who gives substantial feedback (subjective) will gain Gold Access - The privilege to play test all future Samurai Sheepdog board games. You will also be listed in the credits as a Gold Status member when the game launches on Kickstarter
.
The blind play testing coordinators who get us the most valuable feedback (subjective) will receive Platinum Access - All of the perks of Gold Access, and in addition, you will be able to name a card or item in a future project. You will also be listed in the credits as a Platinum Status member when the game launches on Kickstarter
If you are interested, please contact us at contact@adventureingame.com
Updates!
Adventure In and Coven boardgame pages are updated, Fall of Man for Pathfinder is off to the editor, and more, keep an eye out for more updates on your favorite RPG's. boardgames and fiction.
