Stretch Goal Unlocked!
about 7 years ago – Fri, Mar 31, 2017 at 01:08:09 PM

Just a teeny smidge over the line to $3,000, so we've unlocked another awesome product: Mistdelve! I'll post a mock-up of the cover soon as a thank-you.

That makes two Stretch Goal products unlocked for the "Plus" pledge levels. If you haven't upped your pledge to take advantage of these, consider it... and as always, thanks for your support!

Stretch Goal Unlocked! And New Stretch Goals Announced
about 7 years ago – Thu, Mar 30, 2017 at 01:09:14 PM

Huzzah, nearly everyone gets a free map pack to celebrate crossing the $2,500 mark.  Yay!

As promised, I've updated the project description to include two new Stretch Goals now that one has fallen.  While these may seem waaaay off from our current fund total, it's a cool idea that I'm interested to see happen... and if there's one thing I learned during the DO2 KS campaign, it's that indie RPG backers are surprising in their capacity to be awesome.

So, without further ado, two new Stretch Goals:

$4,500: Free Map Pack

Ultra-hi-resolution digital files for Greatsnake Compound will be included free for all backers of Citizen level or higher.  

$5,000: The Pit of Hope

Of humble origins, this fabled arena has grown over the centuries, and is now a sport center renowned across the Realm as a place where glory, gold, and life may be wagered and won. The titular Pit is actually a highly sophisticated combat arena, hosting gladitorial matches, army training, and in an innovative twist, small-scale militia battles with real sociopolitical stakes that bind the combatants' home nations to the verdict of the battle results. The Pit of Hope is center and hub to a large supporting citystate dedicated to sport combat and entertainment, with the thriving nightlife, underlife, and political intrigue one might expect. A series of mini-adventures and quests round out this 200+ page hardcover book, describing the Pit of Hope, combat events, the citystate around the Pit, NPCs, and society in this unique environment.

We're tantalizingly close to the $2,500 mark.  Upon hitting that--probably in the next few days!--not only does everybody get a free hi-resolution Map Pack of both Berinncorte Basecamp and Sin Furnace, but I will reveal the next Stretch Goal as well.

Work continues on Berinncorte Basecamp itself, albeit a bit sparingly given my newborn.  :)

A Bit Quiet Because Yay

This week (and likely next) I will be a bit quiet with updates. Why? My wife and I welcomed our third child, a baby boy, on Monday!

So I'm a bit out of pocket with things IGS-wise. ;)

Trapped in a hospital room with little sleep and surfing through terrible live TV has bizarrely spurred some major creative juices, so believe it or not, I'm still getting some RPG work done. Thank god for Evernote on my iPhone!

Stretch Goal Update

You may notice we're back below the $2k mark. I spoke with the backer who canceled and it's totally understandable and unrelated to the campaigns product (s).

So tell ya what I'm gonna do: I'm going to leave Sin Furnace unlocked. I have confidence that in the next several dozen days of the rest of the campaign, we'll get back over $2k again.

I will point out that there are some really cool new products lurking out there beyond the established Stretch Goal marks... we'll have to see if I get to reveal them! :)
