French publisher Agate RPG will release new campaign books for the third edition of its Shadows of Esteren: Dearg roleplaying game in 2017. The game is currently seeking funding on Kickstarter.

Shadows of Esteren is a medieval roleplaying game which includes elements of horror and the gothic.  There is a supernatural threat lurking just underneath the bleak daily life of this world. The Dearg campaign book will be released in two volumes. Dearg takes player characters through 21 scenarios, revealing dark secrets and bringing them face to face with their inner demons. The campaign book introduces several new game mechanics, including new scenario types: Focuses and Modular.

Volume One will tentatively release to trade in October 2017. Volume Two is scheduled for Spring 2018 release. Each volume will include 250 pages and have an MSRP of $40.00. The books will be available through Studio 2 Publishing and Indie Press Revolution.

The Kickstarter has raised more than $80,000 from nearly 500 backers, well over its $20,000 goal. The campaign runs through November 18. There is a retailer level for multiple copies of the books for $280.00. Backer fulfillment is planned for July.
