In the main, these are deliverables from September 2020’s OpenQuest 3rd Editon Kickstarter, and I’ve set up this page so backers can check what has been released, and the progress of the other supplements that were funded.

I’ve split them into three Phases. Phase 1, Phase 2  and Phase 3.

OQ Virtual Table Top – In Development

Support for at least one Virtual Table Top, which as of writing in late 2021 is looking like it will be Foundry VTT.

Currently working on a quick Options Paper that outlines what I’ve researched so far.

Current status: Researching

ETA: Late Spring for the options paper, later 2023 for OQ VTT support.

OpenQuest Dungeons – In Development

A book about how to use Dungeons in OpenQuest and two (maybe three) example adventures.

Current Status: Nearly done! Doing final self-edit before sending off to proofreader.

ETA: Spring 2023

OpenQuest Companion – AVAILABLE 

A set of alternative rules and referee’s guidance

• OpenQuest Companion is now available via D101 Games web store. 

Phase 3 Setting/Adventure books

Books that expand the game’s default setting, the Empire of Gatan,  but can also be easily used in your home campaign.

The Feathers and the Fury

A species supplement. Duck cultures, religion, their lands and a couple of adventures. ALL THINGS DUCK!

Current progress: Text being written, two adventures in outline. Pictures of four main duck cultures done by Dan Barker.

Patronage and Power

A book of Patrons and the rules for using them in-game. Previously called The Book of Patrons.

• ETA: Winter 2023.

It will not always be Summer – AVAILABLE

This is a reworking of Paul Mitchener’s Roman adventure, Non Semper Erit Aestas, that was previously published in the long out of print OpenQuest Adventures book.

• Get it from D101 Games

It has been updated to OpenQuest 3, and when Paul’s standalone RPG set in the period after Nero’s death, working title The Year of Four Emperors, is ready, it will be updated to use that ruleset and re-released as a Quickstart for that game.

Outside this road map is whatever the Patrons decide I should be working on for OpenQuest Next, and Paul’s standalone Roman RPG.

Please note Life and Death, The Crucible of Dragons, and The Savage North which were released for OpenQuest 1st and 2nd Edtion, are no longer available from us.

Dr Mitch and I chat about the planned releases, with a bit about the origins of OQ in this video over on
