Overview
- The Legends of Avantris campaign, which launched Tuesday, blew past its $60,000 goal in minutes and reportedly crashed parts of Kickstarter.
- Pledged totals now exceed $5 million with nearly a month left, positioning it to rank among the biggest third‑party D&D crowdfunds.
- The project packages a three‑book set—Outrunner’s Handbook, Cosmic Codex, and Overdrive Expansion—for a space‑opera setting built for D&D 5e.
- It adds starship combat and vehicle rules plus a new Machinist class, dozens of subclasses, and more than 30 playable species.
- A viral retro‑anime trailer and the team’s $4 million Crooked Moon track record helped build trust, though backers face a proposed November 2027 delivery.
