Bourbon & Barbarians, Season 3 Bonus Episode about Skullcano Island!


Hile, adventurers! We interrupt your regularly-scheduled Bourbon & Barbarians broadcast for this special release... We are joined by an old school friend from way back, Levi Combs, who spearheads Planet X Games!

Planet X has previously released Jungle Tomb of the Mummy Bride, and An Occurrence at Howling Crater. You may remember a previous episode we did with Levi about a year ago? Well, Levi and Co. are back at it, and have a Kickstarter running for their new D&D 5E module, Escape from Skullcano Island. This is a legit sandbox module, so you'll get uber-playability out of the module. You can back the ca. 150 pg module and get in on the goodness at the $17 mark, so consider getting in on the action! Beyond this, we also talked about Planet X's contribution to ZineQuest 2, which is shipping now to backers! It's legit OSR goodness for yer B/X or First Edition game!!

This was another fun conversation with Levi. We didn't just talk about the Kickstarter, we got into the DIY ethic, art/cartography, and spend some time talking about his process of putting a module together that is ready for publication. Hope you like it!
