Yarg's Guide to Puzzles & Traps for 5e

Created by Giants of the North

Welcome to the Giants of the North storefront! Here you can find our last two Kickstarter projects. The Wretches & Rewards Digital Bundle and our latest campaign Yarg's Guide to Puzzles & Traps (including add-ons).

Latest Updates from Our Project:

ALL DIGITAL TIER!

 The All-Digital Tier + More

We've added two more digital tiers so that you can upgrade your digital goods (as requested). We also added an in-between tier, so that you can get just get the books + maps (if you don't want the digital cards). 

Our plan is to include even more add-ons, post-campaign but for now, we believe this should help solve a fair share of peoples needs and wants until the campaign ends.

Speaking of which, we only have 6 hours left!! Go spread the word!

Contest Cancellation and an Apology
about 3 years ago – Mon, Dec 13, 2021 at 09:52:30 PM

Unfortunately, we've been notified by Kickstarter support that our giveaway co-promotion with Fey Encounters (5e) violates the terms of service and cannot go forward. We apologize for this lapse of foresight on our part, as we just wanted to find a fun way to reward our mutual backers and give away some free stuff for being such an amazing community.

The project by Fey Encounters (5e) is great, and we will work out a way to make it up to everyone following the conclusion of the campaign.

In fact, Giants of the North will make sure even more free upgrades are on the horizon because everyone did such an amazing job at rallying around our projects. We'll just follow the rules next time.

Thanks to everyone who participated, you will not be forgotten.

ADVENTURE LOG #6 (12 Hours left)

LOST PAGES VOL. 3 - STRETCH GOAL (ONLY $9k AWAY) 

 Adventure Log #6 (Hunt for the Lost Pages Vol.3)
After a much-needed rest in the far North, we found ourselves once again having that strange itch for adventure ... or maybe it was the beg bugs ... who can say for sure? Regardless of our itchiness though, we discovered a small little ciphered note hidden on one of Yarg's recovered pages.
The ciphered note revealed a location to the southeast in the Dajori mountains. The note itself also revealed what appeared to be a time-sensitive Teleportation Circle ... something that could only be accessed once every 12 years. Fortunately for us, the window is currently open ...  unfortunately that window would be closing in less than 12 hours from now!!
The only Teleportation Circle in town was run by a wizard by the name of Frazil Fade. A wizard whose amazing skill was matched only by her crotchety personality. When we arrived at her door she was in no mood to hear our pleas or anything for that matter. In fact, she refused to speak with us and would open the portal for no more than 9k gold pieces!
We need your help once again friends! Spread the word all over town and do it quickly! We need more adventurers to take up our cause. We have only 12 hours to come up with the gold or the portal will close for another 12 years! This could be our last chance to retrieve these lost pages...

QUEUE 'THE FINAL COUNTDOWN' BY 'EUROPE'!

We're in for a big final push and we're so excited to see where we end up!! This project has been a labour of love and we're so excited to build a project and community that we love! Just wanted to send out a small message to tell everyone THANK YOU for all the sharing and word spreading you've done! It's made a huge difference and there's even another Stretch Goal looming on the horizon. One final big push might just get us there!


We've also been hard a work trying to pull the book together!! All puzzles/traps from the main book have been drafted and we're currently working on finishing the Stretch Goal additions. We've also started an additional process of getting some 3rd party DM's to QA our work to try and find holes or issues with the traps. This should really help us tighten the concepts up and give you a solid product! We also haven't ruled out a Kickstarter community QA session as well. We want you guys to have some input on what your getting, so keep an eye out for a signup sheet in the near future.
