New Sci-Fi Expansion for Dungeons & Dragons Smashes Kickstarter Goal in 1 Minute

by

The creators of the popular Crooked Moon horror expansion for Dungeons & Dragons 5e announced their new project back in February, and it’s a big change of pace. Neon Odyssey is a sci-fi space opera adventure that brings the world of 5e into the cosmos. The project launched on Kickstarter on May 5th after a lot of anticipation, and it was a huge success. Fans quickly backed the campaign, reaching the initial funding goal in just one minute. It’s clear players were excited for this new offering from the Avantris Entertainment Team.

Legends of Avantris started as a live-play series and quickly grew into a publisher creating content for the Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition game. Their first major project, a horror-themed expansion called The Crooked Moon, was a huge success, raising over $1 million in just six hours. Now, their newest campaign, Neon Odyssey, is even more popular. It surpassed $3 million in funding in about two hours, with almost a month still remaining. What’s driving all the excitement and support for this D&D supplement?

Neon Odyssey Hits Over $5 Million in Kickstarter Funding One Day After Launch

Avantris Entertainment truly excelled with last year’s The Crooked Moon expansion. I was fortunate enough to receive a copy, and I can attest to the impressive quality of both the book and the bonus items included for supporters. Now available digitally on D&D Beyond as an add-on, it’s brought even more recognition to Avantris Entertainment’s fantastic work. Considering the success of their initial campaign and the increased visibility from D&D Beyond, it’s no surprise that Neon Odyssey is generating a lot of excitement.

Building on the scope of The Crooked Moon, Neon Odyssey offers even more content for your D&D 5e games. This space opera trilogy will add over 1400 pages of new material, including a detailed campaign setting and a brand-new system for space combat. It also introduces sci-fi inspired options for existing classes, along with a completely new class called the Machinest and several cosmic subclasses. If you’re looking to expand your D&D experience beyond traditional fantasy and explore a sci-fi world, Neon Odyssey is poised to be the perfect resource.

Neon Odyssey isn’t just full of new rules and content, it’s a beautiful game to look at, with vibrant colors and a space theme. One big reason people are supporting its crowdfunding campaign right away is the limited-time offer of free, physical Synth Sunset dice – they’re available for the first 72 hours. Dice collectors, you still have a chance – the offer lasts until May 8th at 10 AM Eastern Time. If you’re already interested in this sci-fi Dungeons & Dragons expansion, this is a great reason to back it now.

I started writing this update to share the project’s progress, but things are moving so fast, any details I give right now will likely be outdated quickly! The number of backers and the total funding are still increasing every few minutes – it’s clear there’s a lot of excitement for Neon Odyssey. Currently, the project has surpassed $5 million in funding with 28 days remaining. We’ve already unlocked 17 stretch goals and are just one away from revealing even more!

You can find more information about Neon Odyssey and support its development on the Kickstarter page. The campaign runs until June 3rd, giving you time to consider which pledge level is right for you.
