We’re nearing the end of the campaign, and I come bearing a lot of very good news.
Honestly, this campaign surpassed all my wildest dreams. We blasted through the original goal and both stretch goals so quickly that I barely had time to process what was happening. Now that I’ve had a moment to breathe and look at the project more calmly, I’ve figured out how to reward your support while keeping the scope contained and the production timeline intact.
And I’m happy to say: we’re getting more.
1. More Tables
I mocked up the full layout of the zine to get a realistic sense of page count, spacing, readability, and room for art. Goood news: I can safely include more tables!
The second most-voted option in the poll — Downtime / Campfire — is officially in!
And… I might even be able to squeeze in a third one without sacrificing readability or layout quality. I want this to remain clean, pleasant to skim, and something I’m proud to put out into the world.
2. Inside Covers = More Space
The inside covers are printable as well, which means more usable space.
I’m considering:
A quick reference / cheat sheet for the Triple-O core procedure on one side
An additional Spark table on the other
Or perhaps something slightly different. One idea I had was a table of short in-character one-liners or prompts. Phrases your characters might say in tense or reflective moments.
I’d love your thoughts on this. If you have ideas for what would make great use of that space, let me know.
3. Upgraded Cover
The physical zine will now feature spot UV on the title.
This upgrade is included for all physical backers at no extra cost. It adds a subtle, tactile shine to the title, and it looks fantastic. As an example, check out Random Realities in print to see the effect—and yes, that one is also available as an add-on or in a bundle.
4. A Free Bookmark (Digital for Everyone)
All backers will receive a free printable bookmark featuring:
A summary of the Triple-O Check
An exclusive D66 “Approaches” table (adverbs describing how a character approaches a situation)
A small, practical extra to keep inside your book.
And now, for one final stretch:
Final Stretch Goal — €18,000
If we reach €18,000, all physical backers will also receive the bookmark in physical format, included with their pledge! Pretty cool, right?
We’re close.
I really wanted to give you meaningful extras for everything we accomplished together so far, without bloating the project or pushing timelines.
I’m fully at work making this zine the best it can be.
If you’ve already backed: thank you. Truly.
If you haven’t yet: this is the final stretch, and I’d love for you to join the ride.
