Iadace, backers—

Welcome to the final week of this campaign! Thanks to your support and all the great buzz you’ve built, we’re headed into this week strong: We ticked over the $600,000 mark today, and you’ve just unlocked another stretch goal!

The final week can be very exciting. Did you know that in our last campaign (Cypher: Faster. Easier. And Even Better!), just last fall, we added around 1600 backers, and $300,000, in the final week? Imagine the stretch goals we can unlock if this week is anything like that!

It comes down to you. Campaigns like this soar—they only soar—when the backers get out there and spread the word. You can find sharable posts, graphics, and ideas on our social media accounts. Or say it in your own words—here are some downloadable graphics you can borrow. (Right-click to download.)

These character portfolios are really handy. They give you loads of space and make it easy to keep campaign notes, build your character’s backstory, relationships, and more, and generally do justice to a memorable character you’ll love to play.

Backers at the ALL-IN (PDF only) level now get the Numenera Character Portfolio added to their rewards in two formats: one optimized for printing, and another optimized for use on a device.

Backers at the ALL-IN (print and PDF) level get those PDF files, plus a bundle of five character portfolios in print—enough for the whole party!

Not backing at one of those levels? Consider upgrading! Look at everything we’ve unlocked:

And we’re not done yet! We sure hope to unlock several more cool stretch goals before this campaign ends Friday!

With every stretch goal we give every backer, no matter what their pledge level, a little bonus reward. Here’s the sticker design you voted for to go with the Character Portfolios:

The Catechism of Lore sets the characters on the path of High Father Calaval, the first Amber Pope and Founder of the Order of Truth. They’ll traverse much of the Ninth World and beyond—from land to sea to the far reaches of the galaxy to places that are only accessible via the clues Father Calaval left behind. Those few who prove smart, brave, and curious enough to brave the entire journey may unlock a parallel dimension and be called into the secret fortress of the Aeon Priests—the Citadel of the Conduit!

The Catechism of Lore will be a wondrous journey for veteran players of Numenera—and it’s specially designed to help new players and GMs step into the Ninth World and discover its mysteries. It’s a hefty hardcover book and a fast-paced, campaign-length experience—but who couldn’t use even more adventure?

We’d like to make this book even heftier. Get us to 3200 backers, and we’ll increase the content of The Catechism of Lore substantially, with many sessions’ worth of additional new material!

Help us choose our next sticker! We’ve had several very close polls over the course of this campaign, and some of the sticker designs that didn’t win were nonetheless very popular. Let’s revisit a couple of those!

We expect to unlock stretch goals very quickly in this final week, so the poll won’t be open for long. Vote now!

And don’t forget to keep spreading the word!

Thanks for your support!
