The start of December is bringing a small flurry of Kickstarter campaign finales, as writers/publishers rush to get PDFs and Print-on-Demand titles into peoples hands before the 24th.

Fall of Rivenhelm seems interesting just for who the publisher is: Cawood Publishing, the team behind fairly high profile bestiaries like the Monsters of Feyland, Monsters of the Dungeon, and the Monsters of the Underworld. Most of their books are D&D 5e specific, but their adventures include conversion tables.

Not a whole lot new, though, this past week, and the ‘coming soon’ selection’s mighty thin. Everyone who could get their campaign running before the holidays has done so. I imagine those who wouldn’t are waiting until the new year.
