Heckna! - Kickstarter Spotlight
/You ever stumble across a product or a piece of media and your first thought is, “Holy Hotcakes! This looks absolutely amazing!” and then your second thought is “Holy Hotcakes! This is such a good idea, how has no one ever thought to do this before?!”
We’ve all been there before… well, maybe I’m the only weirdo who specifically says “Holy Hotcakes”, but you all get what I’m saying. (By the way, I give you all my blessing to use that expression)
Regardless of what alliterative exclamation your prefer, you’ve no doubt experienced that sensation before. For myself, the most recent instance of this feeling came when I came across Heckna! the latest offering from the exceedingly talented team over at Hit Point Press.
I absolutely love the setup:
The sounds of revelry drift through the dark, cold forest, drawing wayward travelers to a place where the senses are delightfully and bewilderingly overwhelmed. Peering out from the top of the conifers is the blood-red spire of The Revelia, where wonder and fun awaits!
But underneath the sparkling lights and gleaming facade is a sinister underbelly of chaos and terror. The magical Revelia is the work of Heckna, a creative mastermind masquerading as a jovial ringleader. Some, however, are aware of Heckna’s ruse, including a hunter who will stop at nothing to dispatch Heckna — and destroy The Revelia — once and for all.
Travelers may believe that they find The Revelia by chance, but in fact, Heckna goes to great lengths to lure only the best and brightest to his carnival in his search for greater, more spectacular challenges. Many have tried — and failed — to escape from this carnival, but with the right brains, brawn, and alliances, even Heckna can be outmaneuvered.
Will characters see through the glitzy and glamorous charade, or fall prey to Heckna’s relentless torment and become a permanent member of The Revelia?
I mean, c’mon! That sounds rad as hell… I’m getting chills just thinking about all the creepy whimsy on display here. I can’t wait to dive in a face this ghastly array of insane new monster like the Children of the Candy Corn or Sophie, the Chandler of Flesh. I don’t know what a Chandler of Flesh is, but it sounds positively gnarly.
So hurry the heck(na) up and sprint over to their Kickstarter and reserve your copy of this stunning new campaign right now:
Well, that’s all from me for now. Until next time…
Take Care, Owlbear
