Beginning with an encounter with a disguised god, Moon Daughter's Fate brings the characters into the province of Whisper Valley (Sheng1Xi1Gu3, "Sheng Xi Gu"), where divine matters have taken a dangerous turn. Alice Peng has crafted an intricate situation based on Chinese folklore that begins with a mystery and can end in various different resolutions of a quarrel among gods, with a healthy dose of fighting and mayhem along the way. The players' skills at negotiation and mysteries are crucial in addition to combat tactics, and at times the characters' lives may depend upon problem-solving rather than their fighting skills.
The adventure is available in versions for 5th edition D&D, Pathfinder 1st edition, and Swords & Wizardry (OD&D). The difficulty level varies a bit by rule-system, but is essentially a mid-level adventure in all three versions, and the book is approximately 32 pages -- again, depending on the rules-system.
The book contains a number of new monsters, as one might expect, and ranges across several different mini-adventuring areas. It also includes brief commentaries from Alice Peng on certain characteristics of Chinese folklore that are fundamentally different from the base assumptions of D&D, and a pronunciation guide.
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.
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 Moon Daughter's Fate 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 previous Indiegogo project added 2 interior art pieces and 3 extra creature illustrations for its appendix.
- Downloadable Options designed for popular virtual table-top software (The rewards for both How Orcus Stole Christmas! and In Vino Gigantus included the new creature/NPC tokens and player maps).
- High-resolution files of illustrations to share with players at the table.

Overseas Shipping
For the last several months, as those of you who follow us on Discord know, we have been grappling with the issue of high costs on shipping to locations outside the USA. We have decided that the most cost-effective way for our overseas customers to get books is by printing the books in print-on-demand format. This does not affect the USA, where we will continue ordinary printing and shipping.
The print-on-demand books international customers will be receiving are high quality, but please be aware that they are different from the premium-quality books we are advertising for sale in the USA.
We have tremendous love and respect for our international customers, and this is the most workable way we have been able to find to keep you supplied with books with reliable delivery times at a reasonable price.
