We are now less than a week from the finish line. I can hardly believe it.
Behind the scenes
I wanted to give you a quick behind-the-scenes look at where things stand. The writing is going well. LUST is now close to completion and almost ready to go to our editor, Thursday Garreau. This circle was quite intimidating since the core theme poses a bunch of challenges in creating an adventure that is close to the central idea without dangerously sliding into territory I personally do not want at my table. I have to report I'm proud of how I handled it (and the people I shared it with too). Speaking of the second circle, I also wanted to share some of the sketches that Lisa did for LUST. We are going into a tropical environment for this adventure :

Poll
Would you like to know more about the circles or keep it secret ? I attached a poll to know if you'd like to know more about each of the adventures. I am personally not a fan of spoilers, but I've got to give the people what they want. Please chime in while the poll is up so I know whether to add a spoiler section that explains how I am handling each circle and what you can expect at the table. This could be a nice boost for the last 48 hours of the campaign.
Stretch goals
We are CHF 272 away from unlocking the Player-facing maps and handouts, which leads us nicely into the next stretch goal tier: Show your allegiance to the EverCycle. At CHF 17,000, I will add a bonus sticker, free with every physical pledge. See early concepts of the design below, illustrated by Roque Romero.

Gratitude
Working on 9Circles has been some of the most exciting creative work I have done. It's been a rough month on my side, and this project has been my anchor through it. Knowing you're on this journey with me makes it all the better.
There's still time to spread the word. If you know someone who'd love a book of dark, twisted, beautifully illustrated adventures, now's the moment to point them our way. Fun fact: the campaign ends on my birthday, so I want to thank you for making it a good one.
