The Nexid watchtowers are reappearing in the land. One has been found. A reclusive adventurer has stumbled upon it and become ensnared by a powerful magic item at the tower's top. Can he be freed? Should he?



The First Sentinel is the next old-school adventure release from the ENnie Award Gnominees at Lesser Gnome. Within its pages Game Masters have a complete adventure for three to six players using character levels between three and five. Characters are tasked with solving a small mystery involving a missing resident. Clues could offer muted warnings or, if followed closely, will bring them face to face with a vanguard of the demonic Nexid.

Written by Edwin Nagy, illustrated by Lloyd Metcalf and produced by Lesser Gnome The First Sentinel is designed for use with classic fantasy role-playing systems. It is scheduled to ship in October worldwide for $25 plus shipping.
This limited edition will be printed only once in the fashionable retro gaming styles of yore. Lesser Gnomes' first-ever limited edition release, Bird of a Feather, sold out of its print run in its entirety.  If I needed another copy now I would be forced to steal one from my Mom.

Included with the limited edition of The First Sentinel-

• The First Sentinel 16 page adventure booklet written by Edwin Nagy and edited by John Hammerle.
• The custom sculpted 28 mm Nexid Spider figurine by Tim Prow cast in a translucent resin.
• A detached folded cover with original art by Lloyd Metcalf. So retro it requires a save vs. nostalgia to open (failure leads to  uncontrollable reminiscing about gaming days of yore).
• A full color 11" x 17" Map Insert (including the Original Whisper Vale Map by Alyssa Faden, as well as the specific adventure location with added detail).

Finally…

Here are some images of the Nexid Spider (sculpt by Tim Prow).

A few last minute surprises might make it in as well.

SPECIAL NOTE- Acaeum members that prefer signed copies will have their requests happily granted. Be aware that I am not the primary author so signed copies requires some air miles and about an extra month of time. Edwin lives on a less fashionable side of North America than we do but, as the author, he will be receiving copies once they are printed. I can ship as many extras for him to sign and return to us as requested.

NEXT SPECIAL NOTE: I can still accommodate orders with two copies who prefer only one be signed.

Thanks everyone for your continuing support of Lesser Gnome and mark your calendars for October so we can find out whether Death & Taxes are truly inevitable.

I second that.  Looks good.

Hi Zach,

If you already have these printed and in stock, please hold a set for me. I will make my online purchase tomorrow morning.

Thanks in Advance - Paul

Received my copies! Thanks Zack!

(I was thinking you will hold them until Death taxes is released)

As a soi-dissant industry leader Lesser Gnome (well, me really) has gotten an upgrade. To me nothing says "small company pretending to be big" more than shrink wrap.

Behold! Shrink wrap.

Somehow I missed ordering this!

I just placed an order.  Please put me on the list for a signed copy.

I saw that this morning, thank you

I shipped it before I saw this, but I recognized the Acaeum name in your email. I am 90% certain I pulled the last signed copy I had and put it in your envelope. If it wasn't signed email me and I can fix that for you easily enough in June when I see Edwin at NTRPG Con.
