I certainly had my bones rattled by all the support on day one! When I'm posting this, we are SO close to fully hitting our goal within the first 48 hours. Perhaps by the time I'm done drafting this, we will actually hit it!
From all of us on this team: THANK YOU!
No... seriously. Thank you. It was a leap of faith to move forward with a higher base funding amount because we wanted to ensure that we could deliver on every single thing we promised. Now we get to make the cool thing we set out to make.
Stretch goals, music, new domains, compatibility packs, and more are next!
Before I get into answering some questions: Here's an epic music video by DiAmorte if you haven't had a chance to listen to this yet:
I write to music, and celebrate with music... so by all means: share your favorite metal/folk metal music with me at any times! I'm always down to listen to new soundtracks.
BUT BACKER UPDATES!
I've seen some questions on Compatibility packs. Here's our goal: When we hit those stretch goals, at the end of the campaign (when everyone has had a chance to back), we will launch surveys on discord and here. For the top two systems, we will work to convert all of the NPCs and Monster stats over into that system's format as a PDF that will follow after the main book is released. It could be pathfinder, cypher, black flag, or other closely compatible systems. We might even look at some of the newer indie RPGs that are coming out if everyone wants those, but it will be a community vote! For each one unlocked, I'll go tackle experts in that system and have them help with the conversion.
The second question I've seen a lot is the items in the loot box being sold seperately: after this campaign is shipped and finalized then yes. That will be a bit according to our timeline. We are putting a lot in the loot box, and by having just a single loot box it allows us to better manage who gets what! Plus...the shipping gods are cruel sometimes and it's much easier to track orders to make sure everything arrives.
In the future: The Duskwalker Novel, Ashlynn's Adventure Journal, and the Purgatory Poker deck will be fully available separately and fully published! The Adventure Journals in particular will actually have some fun alternative options at that point and people can get a 5-pack for their entire party to scribble notes in. (We will have a whole backer update featuring each of these elements over the duration of the campaign).
Just to share something with you! Here's our mock-up for the printer on what the loot crate itself looks like!
But here is the call to action! We still have a long way to go for an entire campaign! We killed it out of the gate! Art orders are being placed! Share this around and help us cross a few more of our goals!
Thank you so much for everything so far!
Now let's place the moral quandary of resurrection magic in your party's hands...
