As an active member of the Tabletop Roleplaying Game (TTRPG) creator space, I've listened to countless interviews of prominent tabletop influencers, and many times they're only asked about upcoming projects or best tips. These are great things to know, but I want to provide a space for our industry favorites to share more about themselves and the other pastimes they enjoy—in other words, their Unexplored Hoards!
Unexplored Hoard delves deeper into other hobbies and interests of these industry leaders. Supporters can expect monthly one-hour live stream interviews—the more support the campaign gets, the more streams we can host. Supporter rewards include enamel pins, stickers, and prints, among other benefits.
These guests are locked in! If Unexplored Hoard funds, you'll get to hear from these incredible guests. Want more? Be sure to check out our Stretch Goals.
The campaign target covers the production costs of featuring four guests on the show. Want more? Unlock guests by reaching stretch goals!
Support Unexplored Hoard through one of the loot tiers and get cool benefits and promote your organization! Want more? Check out the add-ons to grab multiple pins, stickers, and prints!

Unexplored Hoard cannot come to fruition without YOUR HELP. Every contribution bolsters the quantity of guests and quality of the show. If you're not able to support this project financially, please share it!
I also want to give a huge thank you to those who helped make this campaign possible: The Gallant Goblin, Jen Vaughn, Ashley Gallagher, jess ross, and my loving wife who put up with me when this was all I talked about.
Of course with any project of this magnitude, there are various risks and challenges:
- The biggest BBEG of them all - scheduling! While we have our guest schedule set now, it’s possible there may need to be delays in streams or have them pre-recorded if people are ill or have unexpected scheduling shifts.
- While I’m making all efforts to plan ahead, there are the usual chances of physical reward fulfillment delays.
