Last chance! The final 48 hours, and what happens next!
almost 6 years ago – Thu, Apr 09, 2020 at 09:55:09 PM

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for the support these last 28 days! It's now the final 48 hours of the campaign: if you haven't made your selection for the pledge tiers, now's your chance!

A few things to make clear, and to alleviate concerns about what happens after the next campaign wraps up:

• To get the free Ledger+ Access Code that was given to everyone at the first $50k stretch goal, you must be pledged at the PDF tier or higher. This only affects people who have pledged at the custom level for anything lower than that. It will be emailed to you when the platform launches. Current estimation is sometime in July or August.
• The bonus adventures will be released digitally for you and everyone else on the internet sometime in July or August. Potentially at the same time as your Ledger+ codes are sent out.
• It takes 2 weeks for Kickstarter to bill, process, and move funds after the campaign ends. Once everyone's pledges go through, Backerkit will be accessible for you to add on any extra cards, totes, books, pins, stickers, etc. For those costs, check out the campaign description.
• You can pick through the items on Backerkit like an online store. Anything you select will be tacked onto your pledge rewards and sent together.
• Backerkit will be open for several weeks once it starts. This puts your final deadlines to select your rewards near the end of May. This gives everyone ample time to pick and choose what they're interested in. The shipping dates are unaffected by this timeline.

You will always receive updates here regarding these timelines, releases, and processes. If you have any more questions, please feel free to message me either here or on the social media platform of your choice.

As always, thank you so much for your excitement and support, and keep on adventuring!

Five. Thousand. Percent. Funded. The final adventure: unlocked! Explore the Astral Griffon's Forge and meet the maker of the griffon's saddlebags!

You're all awesome.

Thank you all so much for the enthusiasm and excitement you've shown for this project. I can't wait to get it in your hands and campaigns. The lore from the griffon's saddlebag is that they're all created by a single entity: a large, six-armed griffon that lives somewhere between pocket dimensions and the Astral Plane in a special forge. Who is this creature? Are they friendly? What kind of powers do they have and what are their aspirations?

More will be revealed in this final adventure capping the Saddlebag's first year, and I can't thank you all enough for helping make it possible. I hope you all love it as much as I've loved making this content.

So what's next?

Well, I don't have anything concrete nailed down for a further stretch goal. I have a few things in mind, but I'm not entirely sure where I'd put them or their feasibility just yet. Right now, further support goes towards making this content even better and getting it into your hands in a timely manner. And, of course, if there are ever updates to the project, its goals, or its details, I'll be sure to let you all know as soon as they come up.

You're the best. Thank you for making this possible for me and everyone else to enjoy this content.

Keep on adventuring!

TOTES and DECK BOXES available: The final pledge tiers arrive!
about 6 years ago – Thu, Apr 02, 2020 at 11:25:09 PM

Everyone, thank you so much for your enthusiasm and continued support of this project! We are so close to meeting that final stretch goal, and I hope this can push us over that edge!

You can now select your choice of 2 new pledge tiers: The Adventurer's Pack or The Deluxe Adventurer's Pack! Each option comes with either the standard or deluxe versions of the book, PDF, extra Ledger+ Access Code, ALL 7 packs of item cards, a custom-made tote bag of the griffon's saddlebag itself, and your choice of either one 400-card deck box or two 200-card deck boxes! At this tier, the tote and deck boxes are almost half off the projected MSRP!

Of course, if you're one of the few people who generously pledged at the $1,000 tier, you'll be getting all of these bonuses too.

Curious? Excited? Here are the details:

The Tote

This is a custom tote bag that's 16" across, 14" tall, and 14" at the mouth of the bag. It's 4" thick/wide/deep, made from recycled plastics and can hold a lot. If you don't want to order the tote through these new pledge tiers, you can grab one as an add-on for $20 through Backerkit once the campaign ends!

The Deck Boxes

These deck boxes can hold all the item cards found in packs 1 through 7. They're lightweight and durable, and the perfect way to organize and store all the item cards you'll be rewarding your players with. These can be purchased as an add-on through Backerkit after the campaign wraps for $10 for a small box, or $20 for the large one.

You've all been great for this Kickstarter campaign so far, and I'm sure you'll have so much fun with these items in your future adventuring ones! I hope you like the new additions, and keep on adventuring!

Hey everyone! Thank you all so much for this awesome support! Your enthusiasm is overwhelming, and I am so grateful for you!

This second adventure is a set of four smaller story arcs that will take your parties in the Elemental Planes, journeying deep into unexplored and dangerous territories to find four unique, powerful artifacts tied to the elemental powers therein! Who—or what—may be there to defend these ancient treasures? Are they worth the risk? The responsibility? Find out for yourselves!

We're one final stretch goal away from the last planned adventure: the journey to the Astral Griffon's forge, where you can find out more about the extraplanar creator of the final artifact from this book: The Griffon's Saddlebag itself!

Keep on adventuring!

3,000% funded?! Let's get adventurous!

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for the enthusiasm and support! I'm really excited to have met this first adventure stretch goal!

Hearth is an ancient ruined city that fits into any campaign setting. It can be in the deepest jungles or barren desert: wherever you decide to put it! It was a once prosperous city that was blessed and ruled by elder couatls: celestial guardians that protected the city and led its inhabitants through compassion and mercy. It's the origin of seven of the items you'll find in this book: the Couatl Herald series of items. It's also the historic birthplace of 3 of the 12 subclasses included in this book: the Fighter's Couatl Herald archetype, the Monk's Way of the Celestial, and the Paladin's Oath of the Hearth.

Hearth's first adventure was a free release, and this will be the same. This second adventure is a way to rebuild the city and offer your players an additional way to expand upon their campaign, complete with possible stores, NPCs, and side quests that can help return life to the lost city. As your players go about their journeys, consider encouraging them to send wayward characters to Hearth to help rebuild the city, unlocking new and exciting possibilities for your players to enjoy once they return to it.

I'm so excited to be able to bring a restored Hearth to you: thank you so much for the support! Until next time, keep on adventuring!
