Hello Jumping Accursed!

To say we've had a great first day is a bit of an understatement. This was designed to be a small and quick campaign targeted at Curseborne fans who wanted to get in on the jumpstart before it eventually made it's way into retail.

Of course, Curseborne has been growing its' community over the past few years. First with backers using the draft manuscript and updated notes as they came out, then a wider audience using the corebook PDF once it was released.

So, suprise! We're about to start Day 2 already closing in on 750% of our funding target. Big thanks to all of you Accursed who are along for this speedy ride!

Of course, that means we've already blown through most of our Stretch Goals. I didn't even have a chance to really talk about them!

Again, this is a small and fast project, built to get it out to you and on to production as quickly as possible. So we planned three Stretch Goals. You've already unlcocked the first two!

I don't have a model for this kind of Onyx Path campaign - fast-moving two week duration - so I don't know where we'll end up. But that VTT Token Pack was sorta pitched as a pie-in-the-sky thing to keep in my back pocket and probably wouldn't be needed. And yet, here we are, and I think it could happen before the end.

Enjoy the wild ride!

Now let's get to more draft material for backers!

The first of our Ready-Made Characters for this Curseborne Jumpstart is available for backers to download below, in the Backer Only section.

Sam died young, in the early 2000s, in the back of pawn shop in London. He died with all the pomp and circumstance of someone catching a one-way train into the city and dying of an overdose. Which is to say, none. His family reported him missing, and the cold case was never closed. The police never found a body. That’s because immediately after dying, he got back up and started walking again. Sam’s social life was never dull before he died, and after finding himself damned to be a Dead, he wasn’t interested in letting it die with him. He was quickly picked up by the Dead who damned him, which didn’t go as she planned. He resented her and left as soon as he met others. It didn’t take him long to join the Mavens, as his desire for connection drove him to crave extreme highs wherever he could find them. Now he runs a bar, which means he can’t stay in his old body for too long or folks will get suspicious.

As noted, with these draft versions, you're able to share feedback directly with the Curseborne Crew as they walk the project through the final stages of development and production. There may be a few weird formatting things - this "draft manuscript" is actually the text pulled out of the layout in progress, so we may get a few repititions and weird artifacts. And any errata you submit may not show up corrected until after the first-round backer PDF goes out, but it's all being compiled, so your keen eyes are appreciated. Here's the Feedback Form for you to submit your errata:
