Project Update: Lightning Strikes and The Codex Thunders Into Existence!


Hello Hunters & Keepers!

Thank you so much for your amazing outpouring of support. In just five hours we've raised over $60,000 and absolutely smashed our funding goal and first three stretches!

This huge book was already set to be one gorgeous hardcover, but thanks to your backing we're upgrading the interior endpapers with artwork and reformatting the book into mobi and epub editions so the text is at maximum compatibility with screen readers!

We're also bringing you a whole new Mystery for the This Strange Old House series framework, penned by the designer of the game himself, Michael Sands.

A note about how we implement stretch goals: All stretch goals for this project will be delivered digitally as PDFs, as they are completed. That's so we don't introduce any new contingencies into the production timeline that we haven't already accounted for. The text of the book is complete and the main steps we have before sending it to print are some light editing, layout tweaks, and commissioning the last of the art,

We're currently projecting delivery of the physical books in September 2023. (Likely sooner for some digital rewards, including our very thorough Roll20 Compendiums and modules.)

Cued up next in our list of stretches we have a trio of Team playbooks: 
  • Co-author Marek Golonka will pen the fractal Army of One at $65k.
  • Designer Rae Nedjadi (Apocalypse Keys) creates the big bad Thrill Seekers at $75k.
  • When we reach $85k Michael Sands will reveal your legacy (and your destiny!) with The Storied Hunter Lineage Team playbook.

That's all we have for today. We know you get a ton of emails so we're not going to send up-to-the-minute updates for every single milestone in the campaign. We have great momentum and you can help keep the progress rolling by sharing the project with your friends and fellow fans.

In the meantime, tune in to this six-part Codex of Worlds Actual Play featuring designer Michael Sands, along with Rev and other guests of The Critshow Podcast as they play a special arc of Monster of the Week.
We'll upgrade the inside coverings (the "endpapers") of the front and back covers from plain, solid-color to Codex of Worlds artwork

When you find a doorway that wasn't there yesterday, you're obviously going to figure out what might come out. But sometimes the danger is what wants to leave...
