We’re moving house!

“It was time to move camp. The Lance was ready for new adventures and challenges. Swords had been sharpened, armor oiled and polished, even their trusty mounts reshod with new iron on their hooves.

The Lance was moving, but its adventure was only beginning.”

Knightsinthenorth.blog is dead.

ALL HAIL KnightsintheNorth.COM!

Now this is the big change I’ve been teasing for the last few months. We’ve decided to move the site away from its humble origins with WordPress, onto its own URL and entirely under our own management. (If anyone is still reading on the .blog site, shift over to the new site now, please.)

This may seem like a small change to many of you and indeed, much of the site remains the same (we’ll still provide free weekly content and an open outlet to share your house rules) but to us its quite a step forward. We gain a considerable amount of managerial power, what with being able to edit and create our own themes and structure for the site. Also, it allows us to cut costs considerably.

And finally, it allows us easier avenues for expansion and growth: what started as a humble personal project has drawn in writers and readers from all over the world, and the new site can grow to fit our needs and desires much better.

The first obvious upgrade you’ll notice is the merch-shop on the new site. You can now support the Lance by ordering your own KitN t-shirt (complete with handy breast-pocket for your pens, emergency snacks, and dice), and we’re working on a few more items in the immediate future.  All proceeds will be expended in providing more quality content for our readers. KitN is still by no means a business, but this is the first step in growing the site in the future.

Furthermore, all of the t-shirts and stickers will be hand printed in Joni’s print-shop, where I currently live. It’s a bit of an unorthodox situation, but this is essentially what has made the growth of KitN possible: I write, act as editor and pimp our stuff on social media, he draws and handles site upkeep (and merch). We take turns to make the coffee and other drinks.

Before someone asks, we’ve looked at Patreon and other crowfunding options, and since the legislation up North hasn’t really caught up with post-modern funding methods for creatives, we came to the conclusion that this was by far the simplest way to make monetarily supporting the site possible.

Plus, now I can promise to add something special to the first 100 orders! Please pop a note in the comment slot on the item page to make sure the surprise fits (favourite system, class, monster, whatever).

Anyhow, welcome to KitN.com. I hope you like it here.

Oh, and tune in on Sunday for the usual programming. We’re publishing a knight class (read: paladin) for DCC…

Cheers,

AMP

    I wish you success and prosperity in this new home!

    And maybe a paid campaign setting or something digital I can buy from you.

    1. Thanks for your feedback.

      I can guarantee that there will be some exclusive material coming up in our store this summer.

      It’s controversial, it’s highly requested, it’s sexy, it’s dangerous and we’ve been working on it few months and it’s delayed only because of this site update that was prioritized (’cause we want to publish it on our own).

    Site looks great. The B&W motif is striking as always. Can’t wait to see what you’ll be producing next.
