Hi everyone!

There are less than 24 hours left to back Tempora, and we wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has helped bring it this far.

We're a team of just two people, and this is our very first Kickstarter. We've put so much of ourselves into creating Tempora, and it's been wonderful to see people from all over the world take an interest in the world we've been building.

We don't have a big publisher behind us or a warehouse full of books waiting to ship. We're making Tempora independently, and the number of books we print will depend on the people who choose to support us here. Every pledge makes a real difference in bringing this world from our desks and imaginations into your hands.

We couldn't do this without you, and we're so happy to have you with us.

Thank you for being part of this adventure!

The campaign ends in just 7 days.

If you've been waiting for the right moment to join, this is it. There's still time to get your copy of Tempora and join us on this time-travel adventure.

Don’t miss it.

Tempora can take you almost anywhere.

Ancient civilizations, distant futures, strange alternate timelines, forgotten corners of history… There are a lot of possibilities.

Maybe there's a particular time period you've always wanted to explore in a time-travel RPG. Maybe you want to see more of the ancient world, a specific historical era, a retrofuturistic future, an alternate history, or something completely unexpected.

Tell us in the comments!

Good news, everyone!

We're getting very close to our next stretch goal: an Era Reveal that will take our time travelers into a world of scorching deserts, roaring engines and endless roads.

And the next stretch goal is something we’ve wanted to do from the beginning: a Community Edition of Tempora.

The Community Edition will be a shortened, text-only version of the game containing the essential rules you need to play. It won't be the full Core Rulebook. It will leave out the full-color artwork, elaborate layout, extended setting material and all the extra content that makes the complete book what it is. 

Just the rules you need to play.

We think every tabletop RPG should have a version like this.

We hope this will help Tempora reach a wider audience, make it easier for players to find groups and introduce new people to the game, and help grow the community around it. 

If we reach this stretch goal, we'll make it available to everyone.

Thank you for your feedback on the shipping estimates. We listened, went back to our fulfillment partners, and asked them to review the rates with us.

Based on the updated information, we've revised the shipping table below to give you a more accurate picture of the expected costs.

Our original estimates were rounded up to the higher end of the expected range. We prefer to be conservative with estimates rather than risk underestimating costs later, just as we do with our project timeline.

The updated table reflects the rates provided by our fulfillment partners based on current shipping costs. In other words, if your order were shipped next month, these are the rates we would currently expect to pay.

We hope this gives you a clearer and more accurate picture of shipping costs.

For backers in the US and EU, orders will be shipped from local distribution centers. Orders to Canada will be shipped from the US, and orders to the UK and Australia will be shipped from the UK. No additional customs duties are expected in these regions.

The current shipping rate for Canada is based on fulfillment from the US. The cost can vary significantly depending on the number of backers we have in Canada. If we reach a sufficient number of Canadian backers, we may be able to use a local fulfillment hub in Canada, which would significantly reduce shipping costs.

As the campaign grows, we'll continue to monitor the numbers and look for ways to bring these costs down.
