Project Update: Art Book Stretch Goal – Now, What's Next?

Thank you all so very much for helping us reach the $900,000 stretch goal! You’ve made it possible for us to present a cornucopia of rare illustrations in this all-new Munchkin Big Box backer exclusive art book. Props to Ben Williams, who made the original suggestion. John K is very excited about curating this collection of his work and getting it in front of you all.

What's next? Well to be honest, this campaign has totally outrun its expected course. Our last couple of stretches have been created on the fly, as we watch the numbers grow with slack-jawed amazement. Now we need a million-dollar stretch goal – or maybe two, one at $950K and one for a million. We want the addition(s) to be worthy and generous, but they have to stay in budget. This requires print buying, and indeed, frantic print buying is going on. In the meantime . . . we know that there isn't a new goal, but that doesn't mean there will not be one. It means we are banging our heads against the issue. 

We are reading your comments about the things you’d like to see. Some of you people are insane. Keep it up!

They were definitely in the cards tp produce earlier so the issue is clearly the backlash you got I think the backlash could've come a lot from it being the second upgrade to the dice, keyword being upgrade you could just add the 25mm dice or upgrade them and add something else But a poll can't hurt, then you'll now whether people didn't want the dice or people didn't want a second upgrade. Worst thing that a vote can show is that you made a mistake and you would be praised if you corrected it if that is the case

Project Update: Enter the Gates! - Draft Manuscript Preview #1 for Backers

Hello Heroes!

My name is James, and I’ll be your Onyx Path Crowdfunding Concierge for this new tabletop roleplaying game project - At The Gates. I’ll be updating the campaign as we go, hopefully adding Stretch Goals, answering questions, and providing support wherever needed as best I can.




I’ll note that I’m not part of the creative team on this project – so I won’t be able to immediately answer some of the more intricate rules or design inquiries – but having me manage this Crowdfunding campaign allows Danielle and the whole team of developers and writers to keep their focus on the awesome projects that they’ve got in the works.

That said, feel free to make me your point person for any questions or issues you may have. I'll make sure to dig up answers as quickly as possible and clear up any issues that arise. Mostly, I'm just looking forward to an exciting ride along with all of you on this (and future) projects.

This comment section is for all members of this community – united by our shared desire to see this project fund and develop – to cheerlead the project and figure out how best to spread the word about what we’re building here. If you’ve started a thread on whatever social media platform exists today or a Discord conversation about the game or this campaign – let me know about it so we can share that info. If you’ve discussed the game on a blog or podcast, let’s hear about it! If you’ve got funny ideas for social media hashtags, well we can do those too!

I will also be the person who gets to share the updates and previews with you! As noted on the main page and in the pledge descriptions, I also get to share an exciting treat – The At The Gates Draft Manuscript previews, so you can start reading the book immediately! Scroll down to the bottom of this post on the website to see the first BACKERS-ONLY update for a download link.

So, welcome to Crowdfunding by BackerKit! Welcome to the world of Gaia, the continent of Everend, and At The Gates! And now let’s see what waits for us on the other side of the gates …


International Shipping – Collected in the Pledge Manager

One quick note about Shipping before we get into the manuscript previews. 

First up, it's amazingly expensive to ship, especially from Onyx Path's home base in the US. We get that, but there's not much we can do at this time. Onyx Path is in a difficult space where the company is big enough that they're not saving money by fulfilling out of Rich's garage, but small enough that they can't really set up international partners to handle portions of the fulfillment. So we are where we are - for now. 

The best we can do at this point is to plan carefully, advise everyone up front that international shipping will likely be expensive (see our projections on the main page) and only charge what it costs us when the time comes. We’ll be charging for shipping in the Pledge Manager once the books are being printed and we can deal with the actual shipping charges rather than using our best-guesses this far out. If you live outside the US and aren't sure you want the hardcover or other physical items, you can pledge to the PDF tier now and upgrade your pledge in the Pledge Manager once we know the final shipping costs.

DRAFT MANUSCRIPT PREVIEWS - BACKERS ONLY

Remember, thanks to BackerKit magic, these download links are visible to Backers only - you must be logged in and reading this on the website to have access to the manuscript preview links. So, if you're reading this via e-mail, click that "Read The Update" link on the bottom and I'll see you below the title treatment.

WE WANT YOUR FEEDBACK

I'm going to be sharing the manuscript in sections over the next 30 days, Part of the reason for that is to keep focus on one section at a time so that Danielle and the team can gather feedback to help guide the manuscript through the next steps of editing and development. To that end, they've created a special Feedback Form for you to submit your comments after reading each section!


You can submit your Feedback here: AT THE GATES FEEDBACK FORM <link>

This is my first big box. I was excited about the idea of having 25mm dice, but unfortunately, the stretch goal was replaced by blank cards. Honestly, I've never used them before, because I don't know what to write on them to match the game's mood. I hope the dice make a comeback in the campaign."

We're live, folks! Thank you for your support, but don't forget to get the word out - share it everywhere and get your gamer friends and contacts on board! Get your gaming group excited about a sci-fi campaign and get them to bid! The faster we fund, the faster we can raffle off those AA books AND start knocking down stretch goals! 

Also, let's get some conversation going here! What's your favorite genre of sci-fi? What do YOU want to do with 13p at your table? Mix it with Wasted Lands for science fantasy? Go Aliens with it and mix with Night Shift? Or just go pure sci-fi - cyberpunk, post-apocalypse, space opera, hard sci-fi, or something else?

Project Update: Entering the final day in style

Hello Knights,
all good things end and this amazing journey with you is ending tomorrow. It is only the first end before we embark on a bigger journey with you that is producing the game, delivering the game and of course you playing Knight: An Avalon RPG.
Our campaign has grown and grown and we're now more than 700 strong! We're getting closer and closer to the actual number of Knights in Avalon!

We're excited to unlock a great Stretch Goal earlier, the 70k Stretch Goal: The Collector!
This is a really cool unlock since it is a 3 scenario mini-campaign you will now be able to play with your group.


We do have a few more hours and we are optimistic that we will be able to unlock even more Stretch Goals! In the past hours we revealed and immediately unlocked the 75k Stretch Goal: a Free PDF Codex!

Everyone backer will receive this. We have two more planned and we might be able to unlock together. Each PDF codex offers a system add-on, additional lore and a mission!

Let's see if we'll be able to unlock the next Stretch Goals, adding more characters and up to two more codexes!






Stream to Celebrate
Join us tomorrow in a stream to discuss everything that we've achieved during the campaign a few hours before it ends! We'll love to have you with us and discuss about the campaign, Knight: An Avalon RPG and more!
Join us tomorrow at 9am PST/ 6pm CEST



Spread the Word
This is our final call for help. It is the final hours of the campaign and the last chance we have to spread the word about Knight: An Avalon RPG! If you participate on a Discord server about RPGs, a subreddit about role-playing, or a Facebook Group that might have anything to do with Knight we would really appreciate it if you could post there about it.

Goal: €79,413 / €80,000
99%
We need €587 more to reach this goal.

Project Update: FUNDED! - And Now Stretch Goals

Hello Gatecrashers!

One of my pillars of magic is teamwork, and we've certainly come together to achieve something amazing!

THIS PROJECT IS FUNDED!




Thanks to your support, AT THE GATES will begin the journey from draft manuscript to a fully-developed PDF and hardcover release launching a brand new gameline for Onyx Path! Amazing job!

And, even as brave heroes set out from their corner of Everend to explore the greater world, a vast expanse of possibilities opens to us!

I'm talking about Stretch Goals!


As we increase the overall funding and support for the project, we’re able to add additional resources to the project, expand the rewards listed, and add in new offers and opportunities. Each Stretch Goal will have a target that, once reached, will add a project to the reward list for backers of the relevant Stretch Goal path.

We're going to start by unveiling two new possible add ons...


At $32,000 in Funding - AT THE GATES Storyguide Screen - A three-panel Storyguide Reference Screen with charts and information for running a game set in the lands of Everend will be created and offered as an Add On to any hardcover reward tiers for +$25.
 

At $36,000 in Funding - AT THE GATES Bookmark Set - Need something cool to mark your place? We'll have a set of six At The Gates cardstock bookmarks offered as an Add On to any hardcover reward tier for +$15.



We're just at the beginning of our journey, and have a month of travel ahead of us! We've already accomplished our primary goal - funding the book - but now it's time to see what adventures we can have over the next four weeks! We'll start by unlocking some new Add On options, but these are just preliminary stepping stones to more possibilities... Expanded information on professions? New Arts (the techniques of the various professions)? More Advanced Paths?

Let's celebrate our achievement ... and then continue our adventures to unlock even more rewards!

If you've just joined in, don't forget to check out the COMMUNITY tab on the Crowdfunding page. Our first update contains a link to the first preview from our Draft Manuscript, and we'll be sharing the entire manuscript in sections over the course of the campaign.
