With the Widower’s Wood Kickstarter beginning just two weeks from now on February 16th, things are a whirlwind of activity here at Privateer HQ.

We’re putting the final touches on our campaign plans, finalizing our rewards, and pausing only to drool over the latest art and sculpts. We’ve been getting a lot of questions about what we have in store for the campaign itself, and we’re gonna show you soon, but for now, I wanted to take a minute to introduce you to the heroes monsters of Widower’s Wood.

This group of unlikely allies is led by Olo, a croak who has, through unfortunate circumstances, been forced to confront an evil plot that threatens his home, his tribe, and his family (his young polliwogs are very sensitive to environmental change!). Along the way he is joined by other denizens of Widower’s Wood. These fearsome individuals would normally avoid or even war with one another, but the growing threat is great enough that even the ferocious Tharn hunter, Skarg the Voracious, and Agata, a farrow of savage close-combat prowess, are willing to set aside their differences to defend their home. The group is finally joined by a shadowy blackclad druid, Vaskis the Knotkeeper. Vaskis’ motivations are more complex than any of the others, but ultimately, he seeks to redress the growing imbalance of power lest it threaten the agendas of his masters in the Circle Orboros.

In just two weeks, you’ll be able to aid our monstrous heroes in their quest when Widower’s Wood comes to Kickstarter. Stay tuned to Privateer Insiders, Facebook, and Twitter posts, and widowerswood.com, as we get ready to launch our first board game on Kickstarter this February 16th, 2016!
