Project Update: The Dark Beneath Pre-Launch update 2

Hi all, 
I have been so busy editing the Dark Beneath that I haven't updated as much as I should. 

We are back from GenCon and we met a lot of great folks out there. 

In addition, we are currently working on a Free Campaign Primer which will include a tiered encounter featuring never before seen creatures from the Dark Beneath and unique player content selected from the Children of the Dark Beneath: A Players Campaign Companion. That should be available for free download soon. 

Our Pre-launch on BackerKit has reached 102 Followers! I want to thank everyone who has gone and followed the Dark Beneath. You folks are making this project a reality. Remember, Followers that sign up during pre-launch are entitled to the free bonus 5e adventure “Murder in the Wisperholt” in addition to the book set. Delivered when the book comes out. This bonus adventure is not included in the regular book set, and there are no plans to publish it other than for Pre-Launch followers of this BackerKit campaign. 

For Followers that feel strongly about supporting the Dark Beneath,  BackerKit does have the option to Reserve a Pledge for 1 dollar. Doing so entitles the person to a digital bundle of bonus 5e adventures, delivered when the book set comes out. These Adventures were originally conceived for inclusion in the Dark Beneath campaign book, but during first round editing we felt that they would be better published as a series of 1-shot adventures on their own. The Dark Beneath 5e/5.5e campaign is rather large and has plenty of side quests without them. Like “Murder in the Wisperholt” this bundle of bonus adventures is not currently panned for any publishing other than to those that reserve pledges for $1 prior to launch. 

Some specificity on our project status. Both books are written,  complete, initially play tested and currently in editing. They still need art (a lot more art), more editing, more maps (cartography), an additional round of play testing, layout for print, and printing. In order to make that happen we need funding, hence the BackerKit crowdfunding. 

In order to launch the BackerKit campaign and begin funding, we need 300 Followers on the Pre-Launch page. If we achieve that, we will need about 250 people to pre-order/Back the book set via "pledge." 
Again, I appreciate all your support. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you have about the project,  its content, or about our crowdfunding campaign. 

Keep exploring,
-Nathan
