I don't know if any of you have heard of Ponyfinder, a MLP inspired Pathfinder third party splatbook/expansion/whatever those things are called. Well, they've almost finished the Kickstarter for their Griffon-centric expansion, and are doing quite well. But that isn't the big news. This is:

Mercedes Lackey and Larry Dixon are now part of the project! Here's the text from the announcement:

Sudden news, loyal of the Sun Crown!

The skies have parted with opportunity. The king of all gryphons, Larry Dixon, has gazed upon the project and has smiled. He will be joining the team as an art supervisor and contributing aspects to the design of our Griffons! Joining him is Mercedes Lackey who will be working with him in writing an introduction to the book, as well as providing her vast knowledge on the subject to us as well!

Together both Larry Dixon and Mercedes Lackey have spent the last 3 decades popularizing Griffon and Avian stories through their books, art, and personnel projects. From acting as the Great Eagles advisor for Peter Jackson in the Lord of the Rings films to rehabilitating countless hawks, owls, falcons and corbies back into the wild, these two luminaries of aviary have united and propelled the Gryphons of fantasy into a whole new level.

...

But the good news does not end there. If we can break the atmosphere with $20k, they will put their considerable novel writing powers together to make a story for us that will become another module(separate of the $18k/500 backer target) with a Gryphon focus!

So, if you are at all interested in a Griffon-centric adventure module written by Mercedes Lackey, in addition to the other things they are bringing to the project, this is the place to go. (As of this posting, they need to raise about $2,900 in the next thirteen hours to hit the goal for that module.)

They've hit the monetary goal, but they haven't hit the number-of-backers goal. As of this posting, 96 more people need to back the project before they'll write the adventure.

No, there's two 3-5 modules possible (I'm not sure how the BackerKit extra time would tie into reaching the 500 backers goal, so it might still be possible).  The module written by Ms. Lackey just needed them to hit at least 20K, which they did.
