Hey Folks,
The Stretch Goals have been updated with all kinds of great new things to reach for.
I also wanted to let you know that I (Shane Collins, Project Manager) will be traveling to Origins Game Fair next week in Ohio and hope to see you there! I will be running the Headless Hydra Press booth along with Frank Ard (Editor). We'll be selling some gaming accessories guaranteed to make game night even more fun, talking about Adventurer's Agency, and generally having a blast! We hope to see you there.

Hail, Traveler, and Welcome to Bluemont!
If you're new around these parts, here are some of the things you might want to check out.
As a hub of magical innovation and technology, Bluemont is home to the greatest minds and talents in the world. You can learn from them in Bluemont’s many schools and universities, or perhaps join them as they research ways to change the world.
If you're looking for a bit of shopping, Bluemont is the largest trade hub in all realities. The Passage Stone network brings trade, goods, and craftsmen from all corners of the world directly to Bluemont for your shopping convenience!
Bluemont is also the center of the mighty Prataen Empire, the greatest Empire the world has ever seen. You can watch your government in action at the House of Martials, the House of Mages, or perhaps watch a public trial at one of our mighty prisons, home to the most dangerous criminals in the Empire.
For the pious, the city is home to hundreds of temples. We're sure to have a religious service perfect for you!
It is also the political epicenter of the Empire, home to the Palace and Court of the Queen, and hundreds if not thousands of homes, large and small, of nobility and the wealthy.
If you’re here for fun and entertainment, there is always something happening in Bluemont! From traveling shows boasting incredible performances of stage and circus, to permanent installations of art and culture, you can never get bored with the city of wonders right outside your door!
Also, NOW is the cut off! All backers up to #221 who receive a hardcover copy of Adventurer's Agency as part of your rewards will also receive an Art Print of the Brontes Titan by Pawel Parol.
Two More Stretch Goals!

Hey Folks,
Another day, another TWO Stretch Goals smashed! Check out what will now be added to the book:
New Region: The Glass Ways - Centuries ago, a battle between a powerful sorcerer and a dragon turned a lush forest into a canyon of vaporized glass: such is the power of Ley Lines. The magical wasteland is vast and uninhabitable even today, though frontier towns have begun cropping up along its edges.
New Titan: Aegaeon - A super-massive creature of 50 heads of various races and animals and 100 arms with unmatched strength and power. Though he helped to kill the gods, Rebirth Clans seek to bring about his return.
You guys are knocking out these stretch goals faster than I can update them! I am currently fighting a monster of my own - a nasty sinus infection - and am going to get some rest. I will update the Stretch Goals for everyone first thing in the morning. Take care, all, and THANK YOU for joining the Adventurer's Agency!

Three Stretch Goals SMASHED!
over 2 years ago
– Wed, Jun 01, 2022 at 02:59:14 PM
Hey Everyone,
It's been a wild stretch since the last update as we've knocked out three stretch goals! Here's a brief overview of what we've done:
New Region: The Icy Scar - This mountainous region is home to several profitable mining operations though precious stones aren't all they uncover.
New Passage Stone Variant - During the earliest days of the empire, many Passage Stones were built with Stone Arches to better control the power of their teleportation network. Though most of these original Passage Stones have been replaced over the years, you still see them on the frontiers and in the wilder regions of the Empire.
*All Backers who receive the Passage Stone STL will receive both variants. Hero Backers can choose which physical variant they want with their rewards.
New Adventure - A murdered gnoll baker. An organized crime syndicate of orcs. And an investigator with a secret agenda. Can the Adventurers solve the case before anymore citizens die?
Murdered in Broad Daylight will be added to the Adventurer's agency core book as a sample to help run your own adventurers in the world.
Thank you so much to all of our backers! This project wouldn't be possible if not for you!

We're Funded!

Hey Folks!
The first day of any Kickstarter is always a wild ride and this one is no exception! After just 60 minutes, we funded! And as I write this, we are closing in on the first stretch goal.
Grateful sorcerer who has been mutated by Ley Lines
This project is a big deal for us for several reasons. The first is that it's a fun world with cool mechanics, lore and player options and I really think your game night is going to have a blast using the content here. Secondly, this is our very first 5E Campaign Setting! AND, it is our first writing project that wasn't written primarily by me (Shane Collins and owner of HHP) as I am still hard at work on writing Organic Towns. Adventurer's Agency was written by Alex Pirrotta who you'll hear from in a minute. We'll be talking more about the world and the system in these updates. If you haven't already checked out the free downloadable World Primer, that will go into more detail as well.
Thank you so much to everyone who has joined the Adventurer's Agency!

Message From the Author
Hello and thank you for supporting the Adventurer’s Agency from the bottom of my heart! This is my first time working on a Kickstarter, so this is exciting for me and a bit overwhelming. But I promise Shane and I and the rest of the team are working on fleshing out and testing everything about the Agency, and we cannot wait to get it to you! I am excited to share my vision for this world, and we have so many exciting things planned on the way!
The idea for the Agency came out of the frustrations that I was having with groups not being able to meet consistently, and wanting to do something about it. It is so heartening to see that so many people feel like they are in the same boat, and are willing to work with us to find a creative solution to the problem and that I can offer a solution!
Your encouragement has been momentous for me, and I cannot wait to see what everyone does and the directions they go with the story and the setting. I look forward to getting you the best book I can write and to hear how you make the world of the Adventurer's Agency your own!
