Project Update: Gratitude & What comes after the end
Thank you so much!
Plus One runs a crowdfunding campaign almost every month. It's a lot of work, but helping creators launch the best version of their game is a true honor. Both of these games are gorgeous pieces of writing and objects of art; without fans and backers, it wouldn't matter. We make these games for folks to play. I can't wait for you to play them.
The gratitude isn't mine alone; let's hear from our two creators:
The gratitude isn't mine alone; let's hear from our two creators:
Ritual Deck is an incredibly special game to me, and I'm so honored to be able to share it with everyone. It's been a work in progress for so long and it's reached a point that I'm sure it'll be special to quite a few other people too. Thank you for your belief. I'm sure it'll be something like you've not quite played at your table before. - J Evan Parks
I appreciate everyone’s support. Thank you all for giving me an opportunity to bring this game to your friend’s table. We’ve been hard at work on it and I can’t wait for you to get to experience The Seventh Order. - Brian Miranda
What's next?
After taking this week to breathe (at least part of it), there are 2 major next steps: Layout & stretch goals.
Layout: The next 2.5 weeks are all about finalizing the layout for review. Johnny, Robbi, Andrew, Yanni & Anna are going to be deep in drafting the final versions of the games for review and refinement. After that, the whole team gives feedback on finalizing the texts. That takes another 2-3 weeks. If things go smoothly, that means we should have digitals out towards the beginning of December. In the short term, we will get a plaintext version of each game out for backer input and community review.
Stretch Goal Writing: Plus One has moved to a digital focus on stretch goals to prevent the release process from getting drawn out. All stretch goals will be worked on alongside layout and hopefully released around the same time, or shortly afterward.

Late Pledges
Because of the anticipated rapid turnaround on these games, we will not be offering late pledges, but we will open preorders on the Plus One site once the digital release is ready. We will update followers when that is ready.
Thank you all again.

Project Update: The Beginning of the End!
The final hours are upon us!
We have just a few hours left to see how far we can go!
Will we save the world or end it?
Will ancient kingdoms overtake us?
Or is something else in the cards for us?
We have a few stretch goals left to go but it's been a great campaign! I can't wait to see where the day ends. We are truly thankful to Brian, Evan & both creative teams for going on this trip with us to help bring their games to life!
For folks who haven't pledged yet, it's the perfect time to hop in!
If you want to help spread the word you can shout on Bluesky or Facebook by sharing these posts.

What's the deal?
Last night we had a great conversation with some other amazing designers on to talk about their card based games. It was a great time, and I'd love folks to check it out! You can also hear J Strautman's 1st Ritual Deck song as our intro music! It was a great conversation that I think backers might enjoy!
See you on the other side!

It's the final week!
We are in the last few days of the campaign, but have a couple more fun things we are up to including a major roundtable interview about creating RPGs with (or about) cards this Thursday night where Evan will join the team from The House Edge, Firmament, Ambition & The Beconing Dream! We also have another announcement or two!
If you've been waiting to hop in on either of both game, now is the time!

Project Update: FUNDED! & New Stretch Goal Set Up
We Did It!
The moment happened to be when I was rolling down a runway headed to GameHole Con where I (Tony) will be for the next few days.
We are ready to start working towards stretch goals! Hopefully tomorrow we will get an updated list out for the rest of the campaign. Based on your feedback, we will prioritize more Mysteries for both games.
Thank you to all current backers & if you are following, now is a great time to hop in!

Project Update: The Moment It Happens
It all comes down to a moment
We are 97% funded! Just a hair's breadth, a few backers, away from hitting that goal and starting to unlock our stretch goals. Each of these two games also pull on the idea of a moment.
Watching the heavens part.
Pulling a card from the deck.
Held breath while you wait for the revelation.
I can't wait for it! Over the last week we got to dive deep into each of these games in some great ways!

The 7th Order
Brian dropped a great article about the themes of the mysteries in The 7th Order over on Rascal's announcements & we got play not a 2 Shot Adventure over on stream with Brian, Quinn & Evan. It was a great chance to showcase the strength of the game and it's voice.
I (Tony) fell in love with The 7th Order because I grew up where it takes place, surrounded by the themes of eschatological mythos due to the popularity of mega-churches and the Left Behind Series. Watching that get de & reconstructed is always fascinating to me. But I am sure you don't have any religious trauma... right?

Ritual Deck
In addition to joining us for AP, Evan was on stream Thursday walking through how dueling works with me in our Procedures at Play stream. We made a couple characters, built some decks, and did two battles walking through some different outcomes for each.
Then we dove into to talking about the Wounds mechanic for Ritual Deck.
Evan is saying they are going to take over the channel now, but I think that's a joke.
We will also be dropping another article this week from Evan talking about the Mysteries in Ritual Deck!
