DUNGEONS! DRAGONS! CIPHERS! WIZARDS! PUZZLES!

This has been a hard secret to keep while we figured out if we could pull it off, but we’ve got our feet under us and are running towards the finish line to bring you some solid DnD-inspired fantasy adventure!

Some of you may remember the Critical Quest event scheduled for April 19— a public gathering that was not to be. — but we have been scheming to bring a manifestation of it to you anyway. The Critical Quest Chest will combine elements of DnD with good old-fashioned Ravenchase-style storytelling and puzzles.

And while this will be a love letter to tabletop games, we don’t want to bog down players with math and rules. Plus, even folks who have never held a d20 deserve to enjoy some nerdy adventure. But as your to-be Dungeon Masters, we’re going to do our best to tell a story through found relics, locked boxes, artifacts, unexpected tricks, and a lot of Ravenchase-brand magic.

Here’s what we’ve cooked up so far:

• The box will come in multiple installments, beginning with a letter that allows you to personalize your box with decisions in the same spirit of filling out a character sheet (without all the work)
• Certain parts of the box will be inaccessible until you’ve pieced together some of the mystery.
• A choose-your-own-adventure styled narrative, where you do so much more than simply uncover a story.
• Keep your supplies! Everything you receive is yours to keep. That means our antique-styled locks, small chests, gadgets, baubles, and— hopefully— a custom Ravenchase d20

There’s so much more to come, but we wanted to give you a taste of what we’ve been working on since publishing our RVA Art Quest and boxing up our first Quest Box .

Many of you have already put in your name to receive updates on upcoming boxes, but if you haven’t yet and want to see how the Critical Quest Chest turns out, leave your info here and we will keep you in the loop!
