Wow. We did it. We hit all of our stretch goals!!
We actually smashed through the £350,000 stretch goal live on the AMA stream last week (talk about timing). I'm a little late getting this update out because there’s been a ton going on behind the scenes in One-Shot Wonders world!
That means we’ve now hit ALL of our stretch goals. This is our highest-funded project ever, it's absolutely incredible. And we're still not done yet.
The Map Library Expansion Pack now has 40 maps, instead of 30. It's bursting at the seams! I can't wait to get commissioning, and Venatus Maps is raring and ready to go.
One-Shot Wonders at Ludoquist
Last night we hosted a One-Shot Wonders night at Ludoquist board game café in Croydon, London (UK). It was such a blast! Every GM ran sessions from Volume 1. I ran Lure of the Lamia, a mysterious desert investigation into bandit activity, and my table of adventurers absolutely nailed it. If you were there, thank you for joining us!
Thanks again for backing this campaign! We’re already deep into planning One-Shot Wonders: Volume 2, and putting pen to paper on some really memorable new adventures.
I’ll be back in the next couple of days with another exciting announcement, keep your eyes peeled.
Until next time!

New Chapter Stretch Goal Unlocked! ONE Last Stretch Goal!!

Hey everyone,
Well, that didn't last long! You've smashed through our £300,000 stretch goal, and there are now over 3,500 of you backing this project. Wow!
Stretch Goal Hit!
That means One-Shot Wonders: Volume 2 is getting a brand-new Rural chapter, packed with farm, field and meadow adventures. I can't wait to dive in and start writing. I'm thinking about an adventure with awakened pumpkins... but maybe I'm just looking forward to Halloween?
In Volume 1, some rural adventures were scattered in the Forest and Urban chapters – but with this stretch goal, we're going to dedicate a whole chapter to it! Forest now focuses on jungles, rainforests and woodlands; Rural covers farms, fields and meadows; Urban sharpens its focus on bustling towns and cities. This upgrade gives you richer, more distinct environments to play in.
Next Stretch Goal
Next up? Our FINAL stretch goal. If we hit it, we’ll add another 10 maps to the Map Library Expansion Pack, making it a massive 40 maps in total. We'll add a new map for every environment, and we'll also add some customisable terrain textures that will be perfect for making the most out of the static-cling stickers that come with the Expansion Pack. With these, you'll be able to build maps that's totally your own. This would be such an amazing upgrade, and we’d all love to make it happen.
We’ve absolutely blasted through six (pretty darn ambitious) stretch goals in just 7 days, can you believe it? Thank you so much for backing, supporting and shouting about this project. You’ve made this campaign unforgettable already.
Every day I feel more and more like the canary on the front cover.
Let’s keep the momentum going and break that final stretch goal! Please keep sharing the campaign with your DnD parties and friends. Here's a link you can use: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rollandplaypress/one-shot-wonders-volume-2?ref=14xb3s
Come join us on Discord! Tell us your ideas for one-shots, what you’re most excited for in Volume 2, or which adventures from Volume 1 you’ve played (or are about to run)! Click here to join the server: https://discord.gg/6xaNCgkPRz
Onwards to the final goal 🚀 🚀 🚀

5 Stretch Goals in 3 Days = 🤯
I can’t believe I woke up again this morning to find we’ve smashed through another stretch goal! The speed of this campaign is like nothing we've seen before.
Our record until now was the Map Library (Core Box), which raised £265,079 in a MONTH. We’ve just about smashed that already in 3 days! That’s wild. Thank you all so much for the incredible support!
Stretch Goal Hit!
The Quest Mega-Deck just got a major upgrade. It’ll now include 200 cards with instant quest hooks from One-Shot Wonders: Volume 1 and Volume 2, plus a stack of “DIY Quest” cards so you can add your own adventures to the quest board! Digital backers, you’ll also get a printable PDF version to customise at home.
Next Stretch Goal
If we unlock the next goal, we’ll be adding a brand-new Rural Chapter to Volume 2. This chapter will be packed with quests in farms, fields and meadows. Places that look peaceful… but definitely aren’t.
In Volume 1, some rural adventures were scattered in the Forest and Urban chapters – but with this stretch goal, we're going to dedicate a whole chapter to it! Forest now focuses on jungles, rainforests and woodlands; Rural covers farms, fields and meadows; Urban sharpens its focus on bustling towns and cities. This upgrade gives you richer, more distinct environments to play in.
Two More Things…
Map Library Expansion Pack
We’re adding one FINAL stretch goal, and it’s a big one. If we hit it, we’ll expand the Map Library Expansion Pack from 30 maps to 40! With the pace this Kickstarter has been blasting ahead, we think it’s absolutely possible, and we’d love to give you even more battle maps to explore.
But, we'll only get there with your support! Please keep sharing the campaign with your DnD parties and friends. Here's a link you can use: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rollandplaypress/one-shot-wonders-volume-2?ref=14xb3s
2 Shot 2 Wondrous
Also, to celebrate how incredibly well this campaign has done so far, we’re boosting 2 Shot 2 Wondrous, our early backer reward! It now comes with a brand-new commissioned map designed for high-speed street racing through a fantasy city. And here’s the best bit, everyone who’s backed so far counts as an early backer, so you’re all getting the upgrade. Digital backers will receive the downloadable map alongside the PDF adventure, and physical backers will get a fold-out dry-erase map packaged with the adventure booklet.
Did You Know?
Tomorrow marks the 3rd anniversary of One-Shot Wonders: Volume 1 launching on Kickstarter. Wouldn’t it be amazing to celebrate by smashing through 3,000 backers? Let’s see if we can do it! 🎉
Speak soon,
Sam

IT'S ONLY DAY TWO!
It's genuinely surreal to be writing this less than 48 hours into the campaign... but here we are! Another stretch goal has been unlocked, and we are racing towards the next!!
We've also already flown past the total amount that One-Shot Wonders Vol. 1 raised on Kickstarter, which is wild.
Stretch Goal Hit!
Planar maps will now be in the book and Map Library Expansion Pack! These will be the perfect companion to the adventures in the Fey Realm and Shadow Realm chapters of the book. I can't wait to start commissioning these weird and wonderful environments.
So we've hit all our stretch goals in the first 48 hours... you know what that means? WE NEED SOME MORE!
Next Stretch Goal
For the next stretch goal, we're going to give the Quest Mega-Deck a boost!
Currently, this MASSIVE deck has 200 cards of instant quest hooks linked to the adventures in One-Shot Wonders: Vol. 1 and Vol. 2.
- It’s a new way to use the quests from One-Shot Wonders Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. They're designed so you can lay them out like a quest board that your players can pick from, without any spoilers.
- On the back of the card, there's a short GM adventure summary, plus page references to help you find the full one-shot in the book and battle map from the map libraries.
If we unlock the next stretch goal, we'll be adding "DIY Quest" cards to the box, so you can write your own quests on the quest board! You'll be able to throw in details from your own campaign, like familiar NPCs and locations, to fully tailor what your players see.
Using these cards is such a cool way to make your fantasy world feel big and bursting with opportunities. Your players get to feel in control, while you know you've got every adventure prepped and ready to go.
Digital Quest Mega-Deck Add-on
A few backers let us know that the digital files of the Quest Mega-Deck weren't available as an add-on. Well spotted! We've fixed this issue, so you should see them as an option now.
If you'd like to add the Quest Mega-Deck digital files to your pledge, head to the One-Shot Wonders: Volume 2 campaign page, click "Manage My Pledge", then select the add-on when prompted.
If you have any questions, drop us a comment or email, and we'll be happy to help!
