Dearest Scribes,

Every Scribe needs a little magic to carry with them, and this one is made of amethyst.

We're introducing a new add-on for Secrets of Wonderland: an amethyst potion bottle that works as both a pendulum and a small bottle.

Keep a precious draught close, or let it swing over your divination cloth when the cards need a little help.

The amethyst bottle unlocks when 100 backers add it to their pledge.

If we reach 100 add-ons: The bottle is unlocked, and everyone who added it will receive it with their order.
If we don't reach 100 add-ons: The bottle won't be made, and nobody who added it will be charged.

There's no risk in adding it. If it unlocks, you'll have it. If it doesn't, you won't pay a penny.

The bottle will be priced at £25/$30 each and is complete with gold detailing and chain, allowing you to wear your piece of Wonderland wherever you may go.

Across October, our team set aside time for Tumble-tober, a month of drawing challenges that gave us and you a chance to play with new ideas. As the month draws to a close, we wanted to officially share all of our pieces with you.

We hope you enjoy seeing where our imaginations wandered as much as we did yours!

Tell us which of these five pieces is your favourite and why! Comment below, then head over to Sanctum to claim 25XP!

Thank you for following along with our campaign and watching the art and ideas take shape. Every backer helps us to keep making the Midnight Court a place worth returning to.

Blessed be,
The Crossed Paths Team 🔮

Dearest Scribes,

You did it! You helped us to reach £125k and unlock Heavy Is The Crown - our story expansion designed to introduce you to life in Wonderland after the Red Queen fell.

In other news, progress on The Oracle's Guide is going incredibly well and we cannot wait to share even more of it with you!

Here's a sneak peek at some more artwork we have in progress in the background:

Our next couple of goals are big ones and we truly hope we get to share them with you all! 

We will unlock A Field Guide To Mesym’s Magical Beasts! This book will teach you everything you need to know about the wild and wondrous creatures of Mesym, written by the legendary Norag Aetherwood.

Once unlocked, every backer will receive the PDF for free with their pledge. For those who made physical pledges, you will receive a printed a5 softcover along with the rest of your order.

We will unlock A Field Guide To Wonderland written by the one and only Jack Of All Trades. Learn the tips and tricks to surviving Wonderland on the fringes of the Queen’s Court.

All backers will receive a free PDF of this book with their pledges if we unlock this goal.

As our final revealed stretch goal is on the horizon, we want to know:

What do you want to see for our £200k goal?

Comment below what you would like to see us announce and earn 25XP.

Simply claim on Sanctum once done to earn. Who knows, maybe one of you will even guess correctly 👀

As always, we thank you all for your support. We couldn't have reached this point without you. 

Blessed Be,
The Crossed Paths Team 🔮

Dearest scribes, 

Today we are bringing you a brand new art piece for the Covens of Midnight: Oracle’s Guide, created by one of our incredible artists, Jan. 

When we pitched this, we wanted a piece that showed off our brave party of scholars as they plan out their next expedition together at the Court, and we think she nailed it! 

We love getting to share the creative process with you, so here is the full piece from concept to completion. 

Now is your chance. We are less than £1000 away from unlocking the Heavy Lies the Crown Story expansion!

Comment below and tell us which art piece has been your favourite so far!

Then head over to Sanctum and claim your 30XP here. 

Back now and explore the deeper lore of Mesym together. 

Blessed Be, 

Dearest scribes,

Today, the frog footmen have arrived with a summons for you, and it's one that's easy to answer.

Wonderland is best explored together, and we'd love your help bringing more Scribes into the Court.

The frog footmen are carrying invitations across every corner of the internet, and they need your help to deliver them.

For each platform where you share the campaign page, you'll earn 25 XP!

Share it wherever your people gather:
* Your social media accounts
* Discord servers and community spaces
* Reddit, forums, or group chats
* Your blog, newsletter, or website

Your XP is tracked through Sanctum Quests, so claiming your reward is simple. Head over to Sanctum, find the Spread the Word quest, and submit each share as you complete it.

Anybody can take part, whether you have a huge following or a handful of close friends. Every invitation counts.

(Please note that this quest is only available to claim via Sanctum, not in our Discord.)

Once we reach 1,000 backers, we'll release a free PDF for every single backer: A Field Guide to Wonderland (And How to Survive It), written by Jack of All Trades.

It's a guide to the strange rules, stranger residents, and hard-won lessons of the land outside of the Red Queen’s Court. Consider it a helpful(?) guide for every Scribe who ventures in, whether they've just arrived or have been lost in Wonderland for a while.

Every backer you bring in brings that guide a little closer.

Want some bonus XP? Comment below what pages you’d like to see inside the guide for 30XP!

Let the frog footmen know where you've been, and keep the invitations coming.

Blessed be,
The Crossed Paths Team 🐇

Dearest Scribes,

We are a week in to this campaign and you have given us so much to celebrate!

In just a week, you have helped this campaign to fly past the £100k mark and we are so grateful!

Along the way, you have unlocked:

We are now less than £10,000 away from our next goal: Heavy Is the Crown.

This story expansion for both Secrets of Wonderland and The Oracle's Guide follows the aftermath of the Red Queen's death, told through the eyes of Jack of All Trades. It also introduces brand new gameplay mechanics.

In case you missed it, yesterday we announced two custom character journals, made to help you record your travels through Wonderland and Mesym.

Each has a custom PU leather cover, unique character sheets, and 100 pages to document every discovery, spark, and puzzle your Scribe encounters.

If you pledged at a lower tier, you can still add both journals, along with the original Covens of Midnight journal, as an add-on to your pledge!

In Wonderland, the four covens of the Midnight Court cannot reach you. Down here, though, different rules apply.

Each suit of the playing cards represents a different court, and each offers a new way to see the madness around you.

Take our new quiz to discover which suit speaks to you, then answer the poll and share your result in the comments for 30XP!

 
Take the quiz here!

Thank you for making such a remarkable first week possible. We couldn't have done any of this without you, and we can't wait to see how far you take this campaign.

Thank you for joining us for tea. Let's keep the party going!

Blessed Be,
The Crossed Paths Team 🔮🐇
