What an incredible sight to wake up to this morning.

Thanks to all of your support, we've hit our funding goal already. I've never had a crowdfunding campaign hit its goal so quickly, and for that I have nothing but gratitude. These games simply don't get made without your help; they quite literally would not exist. So, thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Now, to business!

Since we've hit our funding goal, it's time to reveal some stretch goals. Because there are two (or three, if you are also getting Neon City Outlaws for the first time) games that are a part of this campaign, trickling out stretch goals that only applied to one game seemed like a surefire path to disappointment. So, instead, our first stretch goal kicks in at $15,000, but it's a triple-strength reward.

If we hit $15,000 in funding, every backer will receive a complimentary digital download of THREE brand-new scenarios for each of these games. Unlocking this stretch goal earns every backer:

These are scenarios that are being created specifically as rewards for this campaign, so if you backed one of these games' Kickstarters in the past, or have purchased PDFs from DriveThruRPG, not to worry, you won't be receiving something you already own.

I'm also revealing a long-term stretch goal: At $50,000, all three games will get a component upgrade, something that makes each game better. I know hitting this goal might seem like a longshot, but we're over 20% of the way there, and we still have most of the crowdfunding campaign to go. Furthermore, while $50,000 is a big stretch, it's also not the last stretch goal I have planned. If we hit that stretch goal, it's not the end of the road by a longshot!

(Note for folks who backed the Neon City Outlaws Kickstarter campaign: If we hit that $50k stretch goal and unlock the component upgrade, you will ALSO receive the upgrade to your Kickstarter pledge, so don't worry about missing out!) 

In addition to the stretch goals mentioned above, I wanted to call some attention to the community achievements I've put together for this campaign. There are currently achievements (visible in the Community tab of the BackerKit page) for sharing this campaign on social media, for the number of backers for the entire project, and for joining the Scratchpad Publishing Discord server or following Scratchpad Publishing on Bluesky. The achievement goals for these are pretty high, but they'll also unlock rewards of their own when hit. Most of these will allow me to add more cards to the foil-stamped promo deck, but there are a few other potential rewards in there. Plus, you can track our progress toward the stretch goals there too!

That's all for now. Thank you again for your support, and let's keep the momentum going!
