Project Update: Special Announcement - HC & Metals Now Oversized!

Happy Friday, Terminator fans!

We have a very special announcement for everyone today!  Because so many backers have been supportive and helpful as we move into the final week and a half of The Terminator graphic novels campaign, we wanted to offer a big thank you back to everyone.  Earlier in the week we announced that the hardcover editions and the limited-edition metals would be upgraded to oversized editions when we exceeded the $200k level of funding.  

But today, we're happy to tell you that we are not waiting to get there and are unlocking that upgrade right now despite not reaching the goal level yet.  This is a special thank you to all of The Terminator fans out there who have been with us since the launch a few weeks back. 

We are evaluating either adjusting the stretch goals, or changing them to add ons.  Right now, we are evaluating our costs and options in the hopes of updating the new revised goals on Monday.  We want everyone who has participated in this project to be as excited as we are about the Terminator 40th Anniversary collections and the new upcoming comic series!  

We're so appreciative of every backer that joined the resistance and got us to this point so quickly.  We've listened to your input and while we can't do everything requested, we have done our best to provide you with changes that make as many people as possible happy.  Thank you for helping us make this project the best it can be.

And as a quick update - we are actively working with the factory to figure out the options to allow backers to purchase the slipcase as an add on for the HC sets.  We have not been happy with the pricing to date and are trying to get better pricing.  As soon as we have that information, we will get it out to everyone ASAP.  We appreciate your patience while we get the answers figured out.

Project Update: Hey, so, we launched! 🚀 Here's what's next. (Distal)

Distal Post Launch Plan


Hey all! Yesterday we launched the campaign for Distal. This is my first-ever crowdfunding campaign, so all of the learning, and building, and doing has been exciting, fun, and intimidating at the same time!

There are a few things I want to get across up top.
  1. Thank you all for being a part of this, (and special thanks to those who showed up to launch last night!)
  2. There's a long road ahead I'll continue to post updates throughout the campaign.
  3. If you want a free art print, be sure to pledge a physical edition either today, or early-ish tomorrow, as it's only available in the first 48 hours.

If you missed the launch day stream, you can check out the VOD here.


Provided everything goes to plan, and we're funded at (at least) $18,000. Here's the roadmap I showed off on stream. You'll find some elaboration on what all that means in the launch stream video.

Post-launch Roadmap


Before we can even really think too hard about this stuff though, we've got to fund the game first. We've got a good head start for our first foray into crowdfunding, but it's still a ways off from reaching our minimum to ship.

Remember, if the project doesn't fund, your money isn't even collected. So if you have the means financially, let's get this thing built! Thanks all!
-Wrel


Help this project reach success! Every pledge counts!
Goal: $4,910 / $18,000
27%
We need $13,090 more to reach this goal.

Project Update: Almost a year of work lead to today. 🎉 (Distal)

Distal launches TODAY. Join the Launch Party!


The original Google Doc I started this project from has a creation date of May 12, 2023. It wasn't a game at that point, just a list of ideas I was kicking around for fun. Fast forward through almost a year of development, and we're on the cusp of launching a new d20 experience that you and your friends can play forever.

Today is launch day! At 7pm EDT, the campaign goes Live, and we'll be livestreaming it to celebrate. (Find your local time here.)

I have some pretty outsized aspirations for this project.

  • I want Distal to be a solid foundation you can build on.
  • I want third-party content creators to be free to share and sell their work, without their livelihood being threatened by the whims of major corporations, like Hasbro.
  • Most of all, I want you all to feel good about the game your playing -- and that you feel connected to not only the world and your character, but the other real-life people at the table.

Buuuut, that's getting ahead of ourselves. Ultimately, the future of the game is in your hands, and how well this campaign does. So let's start with today.
 
I've put together a quick video talking about what you can do to be prepared for launch later today. If you haven't seen it already, click here to watch!


Here's the TL;DR.

There are a few things you can do to help Distal have a successful launch.
  1. Follow the project: You might have created a BackerKit account, but haven't followed the actual project yet.
  2. Engage with the project and other backers to push us to the 🔥trending🔥 page! Commenting on posts, liking posts, and replying to comments from other users counts toward this effect.
  3. Make a pledge! And don't worry: If the project doesn't fully fund, BackerKit doesn't collect your money.

Thank you all for being a part of this with me.

As someone with an already large Munchkin collection that's stretched across four Monster Boxes as it is - I'm super happy to see that this campaign comes with 14 card dividers - As I've always had trouble finding dividers that fit the Monster Box (it has thinner openings than most card boxes, so most dividers wind up being too wide to fit in it) If you threw in more dividers as a stretch goal, or even a paid add-on, I would not object, lol. And I would be remiss if I didn't say that before the campaign was out. Honestly I think a lot of people are sleeping on the less flashy quality of life items that come in this set. I look forward to finally having dividers that will fit my monster boxes and would love an option to buy more. I also love that this box includes a consolidated rulebook. Will the rulebook only cover what comes in the box?? Or will it also cover rule concepts introduced in other munchkin expansions not ? (Steeds for instance - From Munchkin 4 - Which is not in this box. So will the rulebook cover Steeds? I'd love it if the rulebook covered ALL things Munchkin, even beyond what's in the box)

Project Update: Backstories, organizations, and playing the game before... playing the game. (Distal)

I'm one of those people who love creating characters that I'll (probably) never get to play. There's something about the raw potential of an unexplored character that is just really fun to think about. It's a good way to play a game... without actually playing the game...

Games should make you excited to play them before you even swing a sword. So here are a couple of ways we try to do that in Distal.

Backstories

Backstories (backgrounds) are a big part of Distal's character creation, so we made building them as fun and relevant as the rest of the character creation process. They provide you with mechanical benefits and narrative hooks that you and the GM can grab hold of and build on.

Backstory
 

Organizations

During your Session Zero, we put your real-life party of players through a team-building exercise to establish an organization. An organization is built with prompts, similar to a background, except that you choose, as a team, which prompts are most appealing to you. It helps set the tone for the kind of campaign you'd like to run, as well as the role and reputation your characters take on in the world.
 
Organizations



--
Have you created a character from the free alpha material yet?

If so, what was their two-sentence backstory, and how did you interpret it?

Post it in the comments section!

Would love to see the old Munchkin Pawns be reprinted (especially the female pawns which have been the most impossible to find for a decade.) Any chance you could reprint some of the old Munchkin Pawns with this campaign, or even release new ones? I've seen a lot of folks looking for these over the years.
