Storm Weavers is a unique combination of a classic gamebook with an element of tactical combat taking place on the board.
As a dwarven warrior, you undertake a journey across the vast land of Midgard to find and rescue your friend. To achieve your goal you must overcome a sinister adversity. As you travel from location to location, you have to face strong orcs, clever goblins, bloodthirsty wolves, ice giants, all migthy gods, cowardly wizards, greedy merchants, bad people, good people ... can they stop you from reaching your goal?

We're still looking for a French Editor. Will you help us?
Joanna Różycka, English Translator
My name is Joanna Różycka. I’m an English teacher and translator. I hold a Master’s degree in the field of Linguistic Studies, with Specialisation in English Translation Studies. I consider myself to be a real bookworm; therefore my bachelor’s thesis in Literature was based on Joseph Conrad’s works, whereas the master’s thesis in Translations dealt with idioms in the Polish translation of The Brethren by John Grisham. My true love is the crime fiction genre; however, I found entering the Storm Weavers’ fantasy world extremely fascinating. My other experience in Polish – English translations includes medical articles, TV commercial scripts, real estate and accounting services contracts.
J.M. Green, English Editor
University instructor and former journalist, researching interactive storytelling design and working on future branching story gamebooks.
Anna Sarapuk, French Translator
Hi! My name is Anna and I'm a professional French translator since 2011. Even though I work mainly in the medical field, I've always been a fantasy enthusiast and I'm thrilled to go back to this first true love! I also have a PhD in Translation Studies - my whole thesis was about translating cultural elements in Polish fantasy novels, namely in The Witcher.

Bonjour! Je me présente: Anna, traductrice professionnelle de langue maternelle française depuis 2011. J'ai beau travailler principalement sur des textes médicaux, la fantasy est mon premier amour. Au point que j'ai décroché un doctorat... avec une thèse sur la transmission des éléments culturels dans la fantasy lors de la traduction du polonais vers le français!
French Editor
To provide high quality of reader’s experience we are going to hire a native speaker French editor. We thought maybe our French community could recommend a candidate? If you would like to recommend someone with experience and who do you trust, and who would like to work with us please feel free to send your recommendation by the mail to [email protected].
Prequel: new stretch goal brings additional 110 references to the book!
almost 4 years ago
– Mon, May 03, 2021 at 03:51:53 AM
Greetings, Adventurers!
On the fourth day of our campaign we bring you great news - we have about 400% funding goal realized at this moment, and 7 additional stretch goals unlocked! It would be not possible without your support, thank you very much! We go forward, although a little slower than in first two days, but still onward with true dwarven persistence!
Printed Prequel will extend a core version of the gamebook with additonal 110 sections of adventure!
With the Prequel you get an additional 110 sections (or paragraphs... or references... as you would like to name them) insidethe gamebook. Maybe you watched videos from our dear Patrons and wondered why the Polish version of the book is thicker than the English version? Many thought it was about linguistic differences. But it was just that the Polish version was already expanded with the Prequel and the Epilogue, so it had more content! Together with the Prequel, the current printed version of the gamebook will include 380 sections ... and there is still a printed Epilogue to unlock! As you can see, there really will be a lot of adventure to play!
So, what is the Prequel about? This is an adventure that precedes the events of the Storm Weavers core story. To avoid spoilers, let's just say that, as Thymin, you will set off to the Celtic island of Eirin to face the evil forces that threaten it.
The Prequel will be a great opportunity for a little fighting warm-up, so ready your arms!
What's next?
Once again we thank you for your great support! Remeber that you are always welcome to spread the word about our campaign among your friends, who might be interested in supporting Storm Weavers! Although we have our game funded, we have still a lot of stretch goals to achieve. With reaching 45.000 EUR we will show you next tier of stretch goals to unlock. Let's hope it will happen soon!
And finally, important information for our French Backers, who are concerned a lot about quality of translation - next week we will update you indetail about translators and editors in our team. We really wish to assure you that you have no cause for concern. A dwarven word of honor!
