Project Update: Our next two livestreams!


Dear Witches,

if you, like us, are in the midst of a very, very hot summer season, we wish you are keeping fresh and hydrated with some magical brews!

We heard you loud and clear in the comments of our previous update: you want to chat with our authors about their work on Pumpkin Spice. So, we hope you will be happy knowing that we already have two livestream planned!
The first one will be tomorrow (at 9 PM Rome time, which is 3 PM Standard Eastern Time/Noon on the West coast), with Giorgia D'Aversa, resident Witch and author for the Magical Adventures book. Giorgia will update us on how's the work going, what kind of stories did she write, and what she's enjoying more.
And, of course, we will also answer to your questions!
You will find us live on our YouTube channel, and we will schedule this as a livestream here on Backerkit as well.

Then, the first week of August we are also setting up a livestream with Ian Hathaway, who's working on the corebook and the game mechanics, to let you know how the game development is going. 

Thank you as always for your support: knowing that you missed our livechats really made us feel all the love surrounding this project <3

Project Update: Smoothies, Spells, and conventions



Witches, welcome!
Our Coven is hard at work on Pumpkin Spice.
The authors have participated to two of the biggest Italian conventions in the past month: one in Turin and one in Bologna, specifically dedicated to RPGs, were Ian and Giorgia had the chance to do a talk about Pumpkin Spice and your magical support.
Meanwhile, some lucky Italian witches had the chance to play the quickstart using the preview of the Italian Which Witch test (and that's been shared with Italian backers as well, check your Backerkit page - you should have received an email about it, if you chose Italian as a language).

Speaking of conventions: we opened up some tables at GenCon to play Pumpkin Spice with our GMs, but we didn't even have the time to announce them - you immediately filled all the seats! Thank you <3

We are also looking forward to release a couple of new Spells to let you take a look at them and possibly playtest them with us.
Music production is going on strong as well: we should be able to release soon some news about a couple new tracks.

Also: we miss you and want to chat with you again. What do you say about a livestream to do a check in, together with the authors? If that's something you would like, just let us know in the comments.

As temperatures rise here in Italy, enjoy one fresh smoothie, courtesy of Giorgia D'Aversa (author of the narratives of Pumpkin Spice) herself.

See you soon!

Project Update: The (Beta) Which Witch Questionnaire is here! + Late pledge & Backer survey, and more


Good day, Witches!

Our Coven is already hard at work, and after a fortnight of staff calls, previews, and tests, we are officially at work.

We have a lot of cool updates, so buckle up.
First and foremost: we shared a (very) beta version of the Which Witch Questionnaire! If you have the Corebook in your pledge (whichever format), you should be able to see it in your downloadable files.
It is a Beta version, which means that it might still be tweaked and fixed in some points, and also that this is not the final layout: if you want to leave some feedback here or on our Discord server, we'd be more than glad to read it.
A message to our Italian audience: La prossima settimana rilasceremo anche la versione in italiano del test "Che strega sei?". Inoltre, stiamo organizzando delle giocate online in italiano con l'aiuto degli amici dell'associazione Perludo. Iscrivetevi su Discord per ricevere gli aggiornamenti!

This brings us directly to the second news, which is that we opened late pledges (a couple of weeks ago, actually) and the pledge manager (today)! You should have received an email from Backerkit about it (or should receive it soon). If in a couple of days you haven't received it, try accessing from this link. 

Third and final piece of news, for now: know that the authors are already at work on both the corebook and the Magical Adventures. Hopefully, we'll be able to share a bit of their writing journey soon, and start organizing some playtesting with you all!

See you soon with a fresh batch of news (and coffee)

Project Update: 10,000 Witches! Let's celebrate together with a livestream! PLUS, we'll reveal one last surprise...


Witches,
can you believe today is the last day of this campaign?
We honestly can't! Two weeks have gone by so quick, it almost seems like there was really some kind of magic involved. Getting to the last day and seeing the backer counter climbing up to 10,000 Backers, and still going... We truly are speechless and over the moon!

You managed to unlock the last community goal left, gifting to ALL BACKERS a digital track from our cozy soundtrack, and doing so you managed to smash through all of the stretch goals and community goals!

... maybe? ;)

Who knows what might be revealed later!

Tune in here on the campaign page or on our YouTube channel, we'll wait for you with a cup of your favourite sparkling beverage for the celebratory toast.

And if can't make it for the live, know this: we are beyond grateful. Thank you, Witches, for this amazing experience. You and your support made it possible!
