Chaos Rising
Thus, the hells were created. These lords of hell demanded tribute from all of evil bent. Along with this tribute, they demanded subservience to their will and rule.
--Excerpt from the Legends of the Faceless Lords
The Amulet of a Demon Prince
In a few days, the rising blood moon will reveal the resting place of the soul amulet of a forgotten demon prince. A dark lord seeks the amulet — and if he finds it, ultimate power shall be within his grasp. Someone must stop him and his diabolical scheme before evil is unleashed! But for the heroes to beat the dark lord to his prize, they must travel through time and conquer demonic foes!
A Battle Throughout Time
Completely customizable for any fantasy campaign, Chaos Rising is a classic dungeon exploration adventure designed for four or more characters of at least 10th level. It details an ancient and abandoned dwarven citadel in which the demon’s amulet is hidden, and contains unique encounters in which characters can travel back in time to shape the future itself!
The Project
Necromancer Games projects on Indiegogo are simple, focused, and short.
- Short in duration (2-3 weeks)
- Fast delivery of PDF once funding is completed
- Limited to a single title
- Have options priced between $5-$30
- Stretch goals and project bonuses (if any) affect the principle reward only (usually both the PDF and the softcover).
- Are the only guaranteed method to get the premium* print copy (NOTE: the softcover versions in this printing will not be sold on our website: see FAQ for explanation).
- Have a simple fulfillment process that does not use Backerkit
*Premium means heavyweight glossy interior pages enhancing the art and color elements. The thick, glossy cardstock brings out the vibrant color of the cover illustration. These are the nicest softcover books we have ever sold and we only print a title this way once.
Any reprint would use print on demand service that, although nice, do not approach the quality of our INDIEGOGO funded books.
Why the Tiny Print Run?
Since 2012 our crowdfunding approach has been extravagant in every way. Ambitious with massive page counts, plus numerous add-on options and stretch goals. All supporting a primary title itself as many as 990 pages.
This has resulted in Kickstarter's with memorable pledge rewards that include top-quality hardcover books with sometimes dozens of stretch goal bonuses and add-on extras. These are awesome AND they are expensive to buy for customers like you because they are very expensive to make for publishers like us.
Why not use Kickstarter?
We will still be using Kickstarter, frequently, for our large-scale projects, but we hear the request for less expensive options for our products all the time, especially smaller, faster-paced adventures that can be completed in 2-3 sessions.
Product enhancements tied to project success
During the funding period for Chaos Rising and after the funding goal is met we will improve the delivered product based on additional sales. There are no special tiered collectors editions or add-on purchase extras. Thus, as total project funding increases, the better the final product will be for everybody.
Examples of improvements made to earlier products:
- Additional commissions for interior color art specific to the adventure.
- A Indiegogo project added 2 interior art pieces and 3 extra creature illustrations for its appendix (City that Dripped Blood).
- Downloadable Options designed for popular virtual table-top software (The rewards for both How Orcus Stole Christmas!,In Vino Gigantus and many others included the new creature/NPC tokens and player maps).
- High-resolution files of illustrations to share with players at the table.

Overseas Shipping
NOTE TO INTERNATIONAL BACKERS: Shipping international has become very expensive. We understand this. Likewise, some countries charge VAT tax or other fees to our customers on receipt. We cannot fraudulently lie about the value of materials we mail out. We are happy to ship you anything regardless of where you live, but we have to stay in business at the same time thus even our lightest books are affected. In the near future we expect to have a print on demand system in place for everyone overseas, It is not ideal, as the final book is not printed at the highest-quality when compared to the ones we fulfill in Indiegogo.
