Last Day to Back the Jennell Jaquays Memorial Megadungeon, ‘Return to Perinthos’
Return to Perinthos, memorializing RPG legend and queer activist Jennell Jaquays, enters its final day of crowdfunding. If you want to help, here’s how.
Return to Perinthos, the community-designed megadungeon made in part in memory of and to support the family of RPG legend Jennell Jaquays, enters its last day of crowdfunding. Again, this community-designed dungeon is raising money to help Jaquays’ family cover funeral and medical expenses associated with Jaquays’ final days. All proceeds from the crowdfunding campaign will go to the family.
There’s one day left in the Crowdfundr campaign, so if you want a copy, be sure and back today as once the campaign is done, that’s it. What’s printed is printed.
The goal of this fundraiser is fund the printing of Return to Perinthos, a megadungeon a la Caverns of Thracia. It will be a U.S. letter-sized approximately 200-page wirebound book. You will be able to plop over 80 dungeon tiles and keys right onto your gaming table. The content for the book was created by the Jennell Jaquays Memorial Game Jam.
It has been a community effort, and we are still looking for volunteers to help with production of the book. If you are interested in donating writing, illustrations, editing, or layout instead of making a monetary contribution, you can volunteer using the instructions on the Return to Perinthos Volunteer Site. Volunteers will be able to purchase a copy of the book for only the cost of printing once we have received physical copies.
As part of this community effort, Luke Gearing, has graciously agreed to write a setting that ties all of the disparate dungeon tiles together. The book will also feature an unpublished Q&A with Jennell Jaquays that was donated by Tavis Allison with permission from Goodman Games.
The crowdfunding campaign runs for another 10 days, with the community hoping to finish the project by the end of March, to start fulfillment by May. Though the intial crowdfunding campaign runs through February 26th, the campaign will remain “open” through April 2024.
