Two years ago we successfully kickstarted the world's first "12-Stepper roleplaying game." Pink Cloud (also known as Circle & Triangle) used our own d12-based house system, and is still available through our Twelvefold Works Publishing storefront; and the poster map of the New Land is on Etsy. Yet there's a free PDF of that d12 Circle & Triangle game here. The game was even featured in an article in the Akron, Ohio city newspaper!: "Recovery is victory: Akron is center of fantasy role-playing game based on 12-step culture."

Fast forward to the present: we're converting the game into the most popular and preëminent RPG systems of today! This Backerkit crowdfunding campaign is for making two new conversions of Pink Cloud: a version using the popular 5E system, and a separate version using the Pathfinder 2E system. Both will present new Recovery-themed character options; here's a provisional overview:

Affliction Types (5E species, Pathfinder ancestries) such as the Barleycorn Folk and the Children of Chaos
The 12-Stepper Class (a 5E version and a Pathfinder 2E version)
Recovery Tribes or Fellowships (=5E Subclasses, Pathfinder Archetypes)
Prayers and Meditations (=the "spells" of the New Land)
Higher-Powered Artifacts and Recovery Swag (=magic items)
Bogeymen (=monsters)

Pink Cloud has something to offer 5E and Pathfinder players, regardless of whether you're familiar with 12-Step culture or not. I mean, c'mon, King Alcohol will make for quite a opponent (or ally?) in any DnD campaign!

But this isn't just a conversion, it's a re-write. We're also aiming to include new illustrations, specially commissioned for the fantastic New Land of the Big Book.

This is a mock-up; the final product will look somewhat different, capeesh?

Content Warning: This game portrays fantastic analogs of real world afflictions and real-world recovery tropes. Though we aim for a humane and warm-hearted vibe, we acknowledge this is a touchy subject which may be too intense for some audiences.
