... we're not telling.
Thanks to everyone who participated in creating our 16th FPWKK adventure. The final vote for the Big Bad was a landslide victory - much like the end of a typical Purple Worm episode. Now we've got all the pieces of the story that you want us to tell, and we're ready to start writing:
So why aren't we releasing the results of the final vote? We want there to be some surprise left when you read the final adventure, and avoid a big spoiler for potential players who don't want it spoiled. But you won't have to wait too long. We will be distributing "Everybody Dies in One of Ten Towns" as an exclusive backer-only PDF no later than March 31st. (And if you're wondering why it takes that long to write a one-shot, it doesn't - we're just up to our eyeballs in book layout right now!)
P.S. Our murder mystery/escape room Kickstarter ends November 22nd!
Thanks to all of you who have backed our "Star Trek game night" Kickstarter. If you haven't checked it out yet, please do - the campaign ends Friday, November 22nd! We want to end strong so we can unlock the latest stretch goal: a free sci-fi sound package from Monument Studios that's perfect for a night of conquering brain-bending Star Trek mysteries!
Best,
Bill, Charlie, Jon, Matt and Paul
16th adventure - the final survey!

How will our story end?
With death, of course. But at whose hands? That's what we'll determine with the last survey.
To recap where we are:
THE PLACE: Ten Towns. Mystery. Terror. Nine more towns than the other options.
THE INSTIGATOR: The lone survivor. Her adventuring party set out to achieve great things, but only she came back. Now she wants your help for a second expedition. But did anybody ask how she happened to survive?
WHERE SHE'S LEADING YOU: A buried city. It's been rumored for years, but she finally found the entrance. Her team went in while she stood guard. They never came out, but why let that bother you?
WHAT WAS THE LOST CITY'S FATE? It was a city that dug too deep. The town grew up around a prosperous mining operation, but what happens when the gold runs out? The mining executives kept digging, convinced that something else was down there. They were right.
QUESTION #5: WHAT IS THE BIG BAD?
OPTION #1: A Mummy Lord.
The city was built on top of an ancient burial ground. We all know how that goes.
The miners discovered an ancient artifact, long sought after by these infernal denizens of the Nine Hells. They came to take it back. A few of them stayed behind.
These shape-changing aberrations didn't overrun the city all at once, preferring to incubate and replace local leadership one at a time. And when chaotic evil beings take up positions of power, civilization doesn't stand a chance.
Click on your favorite option to vote! And thanks again to everyone for participating!!!
P.S. FPWKK watch party coming this Wednesday night!
P.P.S. FPWKK live LA show Monday November 4th!
P.P.P.S. Our new Kickstarter launches tomorrow, October 29th!!!
We're exited to announce that we've been building two separate games set in the Star Trek Universe. And the best part? We're launching them both on Kickstarter tomorrow!
Visit our page to see what we're up to, see sneak peaks of the games and learn about the team that is bringing these games to life.
And then come back tomorrow and support our first voyage into space.
Thanks again for your generous support,

16th adventure, survey #4! (And Pledge Manager Survey update!)

Three questions answered! These votes are so close!!!
This process of creating the 16th adventure with you all has been a blast; we only wish we had thought of it sooner. The participation has been great, the comments are hilarious, and the votes have been oh-so-close. We're excited to have found something so many of you want to join in on and have passionate feelings about. Myself, I was crushed that this week's second place finisher ("the meteor") fell just short. Don't be surprised if that one ends up in Everybody Dies Volume 2.
But we also don't want to overstay our welcome, so: this will be the second-to-last survey. We'll do the last one a week from today, and then we can get to work on writing this sucker. It's going to be a fun one!
To recap where we are:
THE PLACE: Ten Towns. Mystery. Terror. Nine more towns than the other options.
THE INSTIGATOR: The lone survivor. Her adventuring party set out to achieve great things, but only she came back. Now she wants your help for a second expedition. But did anybody ask how she happened to survive?
WHERE SHE'S LEADING YOU: A buried city. It's been rumored for years, but she finally found the entrance. Her team went in while she stood guard. They never came out, but why let that bother you?
QUESTION #4: What was the lost city's rumored fate?
OPTION #1: It was a city of chaotic magic. The Grand Sorcerers' spells tore holes in the fabric of reality itself. What crawled through those holes became their undoing.
OPTION #2: It was a city that dug too deep. The town grew up around a prosperous mining operation, but what happens when the gold runs out? The mining executives kept digging, convinced that something else was down there. They were right.
OPTION #3: It was a city built on cursed ground. There were warnings from the indigenous people of the land, but the location was too perfect to be ignored. It seemed a little less perfect when their dead just wouldn't stay dead.
OPTION #4: It was a city destroyed by a meteor. The impact demolished the town square, but that was just the beginning. What crawled out of the crater had the survivors longing for a quick and easy death. (And screw it, almost half of you voted for a meteor last time around, so here's your second chance.)
Vote for your favorite to keep the story going! See you next week for the last survey!
Pledge Manager Survey going out this week!
Make sure you check your email for the Pledge Manager Survey today and tomorrow! You can confirm your pledge, add add-ons, and most importantly give us your shipping address and payment information for shipping.
P.S. OUR FRIEND IS DOING A THING ON KICKSTARTER!
Bill and Charlie played D&D together as teenagers, and their favorite DM was a classmate named Steve Holmes. Steve was also the smartest guy either of them knew, and he proved that by becoming a prominent software engineer and executive at both Apple and Google. But Steve never lost his love of gaming (he still DM's our Sunday morning campaign!) and he's put his engineering genius to work on his new creation: Rift Zone! Check out the link below to learn all about it!

The story continues...
Let's keep writing the 16th adventure. As a recap, here's what we've decided so far.
THE PLACE: Ten Towns. Mystery. Terror. Nine more towns than the other options.
THE INSTIGATOR: The lone survivor. Her adventuring party set out to achieve great things, but only she came back. Now she wants your help for a second expedition. But did anybody ask how she happened to survive?
Question #3: Where is she leading you?
Option #1: A mysterious meteor. You all saw it streak across the sky. Her team found the massive crater it left, but she doesn't want to talk about what happened next.
Option #2: A buried city. It's been rumored for years, but she finally found the entrance. Her team went in while she stood guard. They never came out, but why let that bother you?
Click on your favorite option above and keep the story going!
P.S. We did a thing with Kobold Press!
Kobold Press is wrapping up their latest Kickstarter campaign, and we're a part of it! "Enter The Labyrinth" is both a campaign setting and and an adventure path for their Tales of the Valiant 5E fantasy RPG. We're producing a premium boxed set for the adventures, and it's exclusive to Kickstarter. Check it out by clicking below, and thanks for your support!
Adventure #16: Round One Winner! And Round Two Begins!

Everybody Dies... in Ten Towns
Thanks to everyone who voted in round one for Adventure #16. We now know that the story is set in Ten Towns, a frozen, inhospitable wasteland brimming with things that want to kill you.
The next step will be determining WHO, exactly, is bringing our heroes together to embark on their quest? There are four options below. Just click on the one you like and your vote will be tallied accordingly. That's all you need to do!
Option #1: The mysterious benefactor
When the figure stepped out of the darkness, he seems to bring part of it with him. His proposal's questionable, but his gold is real enough.
Her adventuring party set out to achieve great things, but only she came back. Now she wants your help for a second expedition. But did anybody ask how she happened to survive?
Their father disappeared, and they know exactly where to search for him. It's definitely all about their love for the man, and not that expensive ring he was wearing.
He has a soft spot for out-of-work adventurers, and this opportunity might be just the ticket. But why is the waitress warning you not to listen to him?
