Why Back The What's OLD is NEW Starter Box Kickstarter?
9 months ago – Sat, Jul 15, 2023 at 06:02:28 AM



Thanks to all of our loyal backers, our next project is off to a great start. We're nearly halfway through the Kickstarter campaign, the project is fully funded (four times over!) and we're excited to deliver the rewards as quickly as we always do!

Click here to back it now!

What's OLD is NEW has been around since 2016, is a bestseller on DTRPG, and has a loyal fanbase. The 'main' game is represented by three standalone hardcover rulebooks (ie you only need one of the three, although all three are fully compatible) representing heroic fantasy, explosive modern action, and futuristic sci-fi respectively.

The new Kickstarter is for a brand new Starter Box. It contains a streamlined versions of the rules, a ton of pregenerated characters from various genres, three adventures, and everything else you need to start play right away.

But if you haven't checked it out yet, here's a few reasons why you should!

  • It's great for new players! If you want to introduce your friends to WOIN, this is a great way to start. And even if you already play WOIN, the adventures, maps, and tokens are all great new additions to your game.
  • It's a fully open-licensed game, using Open Gaming, Creative Commons, and Open RPG Creative (ORC) license. This means that anybody can create material for it and sell it. If recent 'open' licensing issues have hit your radar, you'll know that it's more important now than ever that fully open games, using non-rescindable licenses, be put out there.
  • It's incredible value! With 3 adventures, a 60+ page rulebook, reversible poster maps, tokens, and dice, there's a lot in the box.
  • It's well-supported! There's a full online rules suite and bestiary, various web-tools and generators (including a character builder), and a ton of existing supplements and adventures.
  • We have VTT Support! For free we include a VTT asset pack including tokens and maps, plus WOIN is already on Fantasy Grounds and Foundry, and there are Roll20 character sheets. We're speaking to other VTT platforms to widen that scope even further!
  •  We fulfill fast! If you've backed one of our Kickstarters before you'll know we do all the hard work BEFORE launching the Kickstarter. The digital versions are ready to go, and you'll get them the moment the Kickstarter ends. The physical boxed set is all set up with the printers/manufacturers, and they're just waiting for us to give them the go-ahead, which we'll do as soon as the Kickstarter funds clear. You'll be amazed how fast we are.
  • It's beautiful! Well, it is rather pretty....

But if thats not enough, let's look at a few previews. Here's three of the pregenerated characters. There are 18 of these in the box, six each of the fantasy, modern, and sci-fi genres. Below is one from each.

If you've been looking for a new game to jump into, or a way to intriduce your players to WOIN, this Starter Box is the ideal way to do it. You and your friends will be playing in no time!

Lets Take A Look At The All-New What's OLD is NEW Starter Set!
10 months ago – Mon, May 22, 2023 at 09:47:22 AM

Coming next month to Kickstarter is a boxed set which contains everything you need to start playing What's OLD is NEW!

In addition to a 32-page rulebook, poster maps, tokens, pregenerated characters, and dice, the upcoming What's OLD is NEW starter set contains three short adventures, one for each genre of play--fantasy, modern, and sci-fi. These adventures are designed for use with the pregenerated characters and should take 1-2 sessions of play.

Keep an eye right here on Kickstarter in June!

Dilemma and Decay​ The stench of decomposing vegetation and stagnant water hangs in the air like a thick, inescapable fog, permeating the once-vibrant Verdalon Woods. Can the Grey Fellowship find the culprit responsible and undo the damage, or is it too late to reverse this most unnatural of disasters? A fantasy adventure by Anthony Alipio.
When the Alpha Squad witnesses a violent attack upon a supposedly innocent bystander, they're drawn into a web of conspiracy, corruption, and public transportation. To solve the mystery - and stay alive - the party must ally with an ancient order of nuns; learn how to exploit their enemy's weaknesses; and possibly even commit a high-stakes subway train heist. A modern horror adventure by DM Sarah.
A distress signal from Zephdon Station prompts the megacorporation Chen Zua to recruit a group of spacefarers to investigate, rescue any personnel on board, and salvage important data from the research facility. But the space station hides a dark secret, and this mission quickly becomes a much more complicated task than the crew of the starship Murphy signed up for! A science fiction adventure by Mike Myler.
This softcover rulebook contains all the rules you'll need to start play. Also included is a bestiary of nearly 40 fantasy, modern, and sci-fi monsters and foes to challenge your heroes, including bounty hunters, carnivorous plants, ghosts, goblins, trolls, droids, soldiers, xenomorphs, and more.
3 reversible poster maps (one for each adventure, showing key locations) and cardboard monster and NPC counters. The reverse side of each shows a generic genre-applicable terrain (grass, concrete, and bulkhead) with a one-inch grid. These are not the final designs.
18 pregenerated characters ready for play! The Grey Fellowship, the Alpha Squad, and the crew of the Starship Murphy each represent the fantasy, modern, and sci-fi genres respectively.
