Latest Updates from Our Project:
The 2 Witch Subclasses Have Been Chosen!
over 3 years ago
– Wed, Mar 10, 2021 at 08:43:25 AM
Hello everyone!
Quick update today to let you know which two classes are getting witch subclasses if we reach 250k! Let's get into it!
And The Witch Subclasses Are...
(drumroll please)
. . .
. .
.
Bard and Rogue!
That's right! In 3 days more than one thousand people have spoken, it was a close race between the two winners, leaving the Paladin and the Cleric behind very early on, and snagging those witch subclasses! Let's get into what you can expect from the witch bard and the witch rogue!
Roguish Archetype: Witchcraft - Duskwalker
Many witches go through lengthy rituals to call forth specific spirits through the veil and into our world. Duskwalkers do not have time for such floritures. Their covens focus on speed, aiming to make witch combattants that can adapt to situations as quickly as possible. Their practice allows them to summon the help of spirits almost instantly, but this comes at a cost: A duskwalker’s abilities depend entirely on whether they are bathed in light or in darkness. When standing in a brightly lit room, they can channel spirits that give them formidable defensive abilities and show them truth from lies and fabrication, when standing in darkness they can meld with it, becoming one with the shadows as they wait to strike at the perfect time.
The Duskwalker is a rogue subclass that drastically changes depending if you are standing in darkness or bright light, basically giving you two completely different sets of abilities at your disposal. This makes it extremely versatile, but also demands that the player thinks on their feet and adapts their tactics depending on the battlefield.
Bardic College of Witchcraft: Intoners
Bards of the College of Witchcraft are called Intoners. They specialize in bringing spirits forward through the use of songs. Intoners do not use any musical instruments other than their voices to cast their magic, and as a result must train their vocal chords rigorously for them to withstand the arcane energy required for the summoning of spirits. The training takes years, as mastering any branch of witchcraft often demands of those that wish to harness its power.
They keep the secrets of their arcane songs to themselves. These songs are charged with magical energy and their sounds pierce through the veil between the planes, reaching the astral home of spirits where the living cannot tread. The songs are then used as lures, or invitations, for specific spirits to cross the veil and manifest themselves in a specific location. The Intoner can then dominate the flow of battle, invoking specific spirits to change the tempo of the battlefield to suit their needs.
The Intoner brings new depth to a previously rarely used mechanic: Auras. No longer the exclusive domain of paladins and barbarians, and no longer a passive ability that doesn't ask much of the player to benefit from, the Intoner's auras completely change the way the bard is played, and its many, MANY options for auras give the bard class as much versatility and customization in its playstyle as the warlock.

Stretch Goal Reached! Two Witch Subclasses and New Stretch Goal unlocked!
over 3 years ago
– Tue, Mar 09, 2021 at 07:49:02 PM
Hello everyone!
We did it! A few days after announcing our latest stretch goal we've reached 250k! We're in the home stretch now, and it's time to announce the next one! Let's get into it :)
300k Stretch Goal!
We've heard all your comments! Subclasses have proven to be extremely popular, and there were plenty of people that wanted those cleric and paladin subclasses to be a reality, so...
We have decided to give them another chance! That's right, after the success of our latest poll, we're doing a new one, and we're adding 2 more potential classes that could get subclasses! The classes up for getting a new witch subclass are:
Cleric
Paladin
Sorcerer
Ranger
You have three days to vote on this poll, at the end of which the two most popular classes will obtain those coveted witch subclasses if we reach our 300k stretch goal!
If we reach this stretch goal, the total amount of witch subclasses in Hexbound is an absolutely incredible 10!
Today we bring to your attention a bafflingly beautiful TTRPG project! Lore of Aetherra is a 5e anthology of science-fantasy adventures, and the art is simply incredible.
They are offering a very cinematic experience, with tailor-made music. If you wanna see what that looks like you should check out their campaign video! It's nothing short of amazing, and the book itself has one of the best covers we've seen in a long, long time.
As always, you can direct all your questions to our incredibly talented Support Witches! Simply whisper an incantation in the center of your ritualistic space of choice, or send them an email!
I'm so excited to reveal this stretch goal, but I'm even more excited for tomorrow's update! We've been working tirelessly on tomorrow's reveal, and we really hope you like it :)
Until then, take care of each other, and see you very, very soon!
Cheers,
Antonio
Stretch Goal Reached! Animated Spell Cards!
over 3 years ago
– Sun, Mar 07, 2021 at 02:04:54 PM
Hello everyone!
I come to you again with fantastic news! Thanks to your support, Animated Spell Cards for Hexbound are happening!!! And that's not the only thing that's happening!
Say Hello to Dingo Doodles!
She does not need much introduction, though! Dingo will be contributing her talents to the card, animating one of the 10 spells in the animated spell cards for Hexbound! We could not be happier to have her working with us, and we'll be able to show more of these fantastic animations very, very soon!
Animated Spell Cards now as add-ons!
You can add the animated spell cards to your add-ons for the campaign! The add-on price for the animated spell cards is $12: just increase your pledge by that amount and presto, you get the animated spell cards! Although I'll let you in on a little secret and tell you that we are planning on adding one final stretch goal with them included, keep your eyes open!
Next Stretch Goal!
When one stretch goal is unlocked, another rises to replace it! We've listened to your messages, and we bring you what you asked! If we reach 250k, two additional witch subclasses will be added to the book AND to the Arcane Eye app!
And not only that, but YOU get to decide what these two are! Click Here to access a poll, and vote on two of the four classes you'd like to see get a witch subclass for Hexbound! After 3 days the poll will be closed and the two with the most votes will be unlocked when we reach the next milestone!
Back from their first successful Kickstarter, Arcane minis is bringing you their Airship Campaigns book! With over 150 pages of powerful airships, campaign and battle rules, immersive artwork, cunning creatures, and more!
Tournament of Pigs is a Zero-Level boxed set adventure. It includes a 100 page campaign book, standees, an arena battle board, and player aids. Players will compete in the adventure for silver prizes and to ultimately be declared the winner of the tournament. But survival will mean making alliances with other players and working as a team to solve puzzles and defeat deadly scenarios.

It makes me so happy to write this update, we have reached 200k and we are not even at the last third of our campaign! Let's see if we can reach the next one :) Thank you so much for your support, and see you very, very soon! There's still so much that we have to reveal for Hexbound!

Announcement! The Seeker's Guide to Twisted Taverns Collaboration
over 3 years ago
– Sat, Mar 06, 2021 at 01:00:05 PM
Hello everyone!
Surprise!!! It's time to announce a collaboration that has been in the works for a long while! Hexbound is collaborating with The Seeker's Guide to Twisted Taverns, published by Eldermancy and whose lead designer is none other than Logan Reese, aka the Runesmith!
You can check out their project to know what we're talking about Here!
A Witch Barbarian written by the Runesmith for Hexbound!
That's right! Logan Reese wrote an additional barbarian witch subclass that brings the magic of witches to the melee class. I don't want to give everything away right now, but Logan's barbarian is EXTREMELY customizable, allowing you to build your unique witch barbarian, with the capacity to summon spirits in battle, cast spells while raging, and much more!
We'll be releasing this subclass shortly, but for now, here's the art I made for it!
the Runesmith's witch barbarian is coming to Hexbound!
Witches in Twisted Taverns!
I (Antonio!) have designed three NPC witches that will be present in the Seeker's Guide to Twisted Taverns, these are three witches that carry very special magic items! These magic items are unique to Twisted Taverns, and won't appear anywhere else!
These three NPCs are three sisters. Arabela, the oldest sister, is the poisoner, and she sells all sorts of harmful concoctions, including her own special brew. Brunela, the middle sister, is the scribe, and she sells spell scrolls that contain damaging and noxious magics, one of which is a spell of her own creation. Candela, the youngest sister, is the antiquer, and she sells magic items that all come with a twist!
These NPCs were made to visit the taverns of your campaign, and offer GMs not just magic items to give to their players, but also a mystery to resolve... after all, you did not think there was nothing more than meets the surface with these three witches, right?
So if all of this sounds good, please go ahead and check out The Seeker's Guide to Twisted Taverns and consider pledging to their campaign if you want to see the other half of this collaboration as well as get some really cool taverns to add to your campaigns!
Roll & Play: The Fantasy Character Kit is a book full of inspiration and ideas for DMs and players, to help them create awesome characters and memorable role-playing moments. The 168-page book includes origin stories, magic items and weapons, clothing and appearance features, fighting styles, relationships and much more. There are 13 chapters which are specifically tailored to each of the 5E character classes.
They have reached their funding goal, and are now aiming to hit their stretch goals to unlock extra content and more options for stunning limited edition covers.

You have no idea for how long I've been sitting on this!!! And here it is! Finally! It makes me so excited to collaborate with such a cool book, so please go and check them out!
Cheers,
Antonio
Stretch Goal Reached: One Shot Adventure!
over 3 years ago
– Wed, Mar 03, 2021 at 08:16:47 AM
Hello everyone!
Once again, I'm writing you a day later to tell you we've reached yet another stretch goal! As hard as it is to believe, we've reached our $100, 000 stretch goal barely after starting our third day! Let's get into what this one-shot adventure is all about.
One-Shot Adventure!
This one-shot adventure has been designed specifically to offer players the opportunity to pick one of the witch subclasses offered in Hexbound. It takes place in an important coven where witch-hopefuls go to learn the art of witchcraft. Players will go through a trial to prove themselves as worthy of receiving their witchmark and become full-fledged witches. But do not worry! The adventure can also be run without taking a witch subclass at all! There will be many options for the adventure to work and be worthwhile for your players without having them take a witch subclass.
The coven in which the adventure takes place is very "dark academia", with marble floors, dusty tomes, white columns, and creaky bookshelves. When the players take part in the trial, they will be transported to a demi-plane where the trial will take place. The trial itself has some ancient greek references to it that tie very well with the lore on witches offered in Hexbound.
I'm giving more details on adventures over on Twitter! I already talked about one of them in detail, and I plan to talk more about the others! If this sounds interesting, you can check the thread HERE.
Current Stretch Goal!
So what is the next stretch goal? Well, we can't very well be published by Hit Point Press, makers of The Deck of Many Animated Spells (among many other things), without having Hexbound's own animated spell cards!
That's right, if we hit the next stretch goal, Hexbound will have its own deck of animated spell cards for Hexbound's unique spells! These will be 10 cards, one per each spell in Hexbound. They'll have all pertinent information for you to quickly reference everything about the spell in question, and of course, all illustrations will be animated! A fun continuation of the Arcane Eye's AR animation, but no need to use your phone camera for these!
We might, however, see other fun additions before reaching this stretch goal... keep an eye out for more!
Projects We Love!
Today we'd like to bring to your attention to another project on Kickstarter! It's called Crescent Moon, by Ema Acosta, and it's a role-playing game about brave children delving into a strange dreamscape known as the daydream!
The art of Crescent Moon is absolutely delightful, and really sells its dream-like vibe!
They have already attained their funding goal, but there's still time to pledge and try out a new game that I believe is quite different from anything else you've played, as it focuses on kid player characters and how their personalities develop over time.
If all of this sounds interesting, head on to their Kickstarter page!
As always, you can direct all your questions to our incredibly talented Support Witches! Simply whisper an incantation in the center of your ritualistic space of choice, or send them an email! [email protected]

And that's all for now! I have to thank every single one of you once again for believing in Hexbound, and I can't wait for y'all to see what else we have planned!
