Project Update: Creature Deck Unlocked—and Much More to Come!
Iadace, backers, and welcome to the final day of Numenera: The Amber Archive!
It’s been an exciting campaign, and today is going to be an exciting day. This morning you unlocked the Creature Deck—it’s now available as an add-on, and it’s been added to the rewards of all backers at the ALL-IN (print and PDF) and ALL-IN (PDF only) pledge levels.
Can we do more? If our past experience with over 30 crowdfunding campaigns is any guide, then YES! We can absolutely unlock another goal—possibly even two or three—as the final day moves into high gear.
BUT ONLY WITH YOUR HELP!
We’ll work hard to keep spreading the word all day, but there’s only so much we can do. Great campaigns always reach their heights because the backers drive buzz. Please spread the word!
- Drop in on Reddit and visit one or two gaming subreddits. If you see a post about this campaign, upvote it and maybe make a comment about how cool the Ninth World is and why this campaign is such a great deal. If you don’t see a thread, start one!
- Hit ENworld or RPG.net. Comment in threads you see there.
- If you’re active in any RPG Discord servers, mention us there.
- Post on Instagram, Bluesky, Facebook, or wherever you chat about games. You can find sharable posts and graphics to borrow on our social media accounts.
Don’t Forget Overtime Mode
You’ve probably noticed the “Backer Train” near the top of the campaign page. As long as new pledges (or upgrades, or even campaign shares) keep rolling in, the train keeps going. It breaks only if there’s no action for 10 minutes or more.
BackerKit has a nifty feature called “Overtime Mode.” When the campaign comes to its scheduled end, it keeps going as long as the backer train is active. It can run on for hours, so long as new backers keep discovering it. (Our last campaign ran for a full day in Overtime Mode!)
So keep spreading the word all day long. Even if someone doesn’t read your post until late in the day, they may still be able to pledge if the campaign is in Overtime Mode. And we can still keep marching toward stretch goals!
Your Sticker!
With every stretch goal we throw in a free bonus reward for all backers, no matter your pledge level—a fun Numenera vinyl sticker. You voted for this design:
Moar Stretch Goals!
This day is going to be fast-moving, so let’s cut to the chase and announce not one, but two stretch goals: an upgrade to the Ninth World Explorer’s Pack, and an expansion for solo play!
First: the Ninth World Explorer’s Pack. We haven’t talked much about this in a few weeks, but it’s something we’re really excited about. It’s a cool in-world prop that’s also a practical game aid—and it comes in a custom satchel perfect for toting your Numenera book and other game supplies.
Savvy Ninth World explorers know it's wise to carry a pack for essential items—and interesting discoveries they've made along the way. The Ninth World Explorer's Pack comes with everything you need to survive and thrive, whether at the table or in the Steadfast and Beyond. Let’s upgrade it, and add even more items to this campaign-exclusive collectable!
Through this stretch goal, we’ll add a suite of additional items such as another patch, even more props, even more stickers for your passport, and another pencil or two, with new pithy Ninth World messages. Every backer at the ALL-IN (print and PDF) gets the Explorer’s Pack—and we know you’re going to love it!
We’ll unlock this upgrade to the Explorer’s Pack when we reach 3600 backers.
Then: more solo play! We’re also super excited about Iadace, You Beast, the all-new solo RPG for Numenera. And from your comments and response, we know backers are really excited, too! So let’s make more.
Iadace, You Beast will have the flexibility to incorporate loads of elements from the entire Ninth World, making every playthrough unique—letting you replay it to your heart’s content with a different experience every time. It does have a specific frame story and success condition, though. So let’s give you more to work with!
With this goal Shanna will craft an expansion to Iadace, You Beast, which gives you a new framing story, a slightly different focus, and new goals for success. It lets you continue your solo explorations with an all-new experience.
Get us to 3900 backers to unlock this major expansion to Iadace, You Beast.
Can we do this before the campaign ends? Many of our campaigns gain hundreds of new backers in the final day. And if we don’t quite make it by the campaign’s scheduled end, every new backer during Overtime Mode will keep moving us toward the goal!
And, of Course, Stickers!
We have time to squeeze in one more poll. Which sticker shall we unlock with our next goal?
We only have a few hours for this poll, so vote now!
And if we unlock the Iadace, You Beast goal as well, we’ll make you not just a single sticker, but this entire sticker sheet!
This is MCG’s thirty-somethingth crowdfunding campaign. We know how these things go, and we honestly believe that, with your help, every goal we just unveiled can be unlocked! You make it happen!
Thanks for your support!
