Thanks again for a successful campaign!
about 4 years ago – Sun, Feb 16, 2020 at 08:44:03 PM

I can't thank you enough.  Nearly 200 backers, and a ton more support than we had bargained for.  Cannot wait to turn this support and confidence into the most useful, versatile, and powerful G/DM tool ever conceived of.

What Comes Next

Kickstarter takes 14 days to process pledges etc., after which point I will be able to trigger BackerKit surveys.  So sit tight and relax until that's over with.

BackerKit & Other IGS Products

I've gotten a lot of questions about our other books, and the good news is: Yes, you'll be able to grab any and all of them at a discount as part of the BackerKit survey as Add-Ons.  More info when we get closer to that point.

Thank you again!

Onward!

Wow! Final Day!

I couldn't be more happy with how things have gone!  Thank you all so much.  

To address a common question, a reminder that you can pledge for as little as $1 now, and adjust your pledge to whatever you desire during BackerKit survey following the campaign.

Also, for those entitled to products that are now, or are in the process of being, published (e.g., FTEG Core v1.0 for nearly everyone, and Aquilae: Bestiary of the Realm for the highest-end backers), I plan to fulfill those next month.  I'll confirm the timeline as things wrap up, but I'll launch BackerKit ASAP following the campaign (typically KS requires ~14 days for pledge collection), and make sure I get everyone what they're owed following that as you complete your surveys.

Hope that makes sense.  Thank you again!

Onward!

Final 2 Days!

Thanks again to everyone for helping to make this a ridiculously successful initiative so far.  I'll be out and about over the next few days, but if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to message or comment.

A quick note about the BackerKit process for those who haven't used it before, or for those who want to confirm options:

BackerKit Survey

There will be a BackerKit survey that is sent out by the end of the month following the conclusion of the campaign.  In that survey, you'll be able to pick your options, and you will be able to change your pledge level at that point if you desire.  That's also where you can pick Add-Ons.

And for those who are new to my products, if you're interested

Add-On: Aquilae: Bestiary of the Realm ($180)

Per request and suggestion, I've added this as an option, which you'll be able to pick in BackerKit but you can add to your pledge now if you know you want it.

Receive a full-color PDF copy of the six-volume Aquilae: Bestiary of the Realm, Complete Edition, in all four of the following versions: Pathfinder First Edition, Pathfinder Second Edition, D&D Fifth Edition / 5E, and OSRIC.

Also receive PDFs of the Master Index, and the FlexAI Guidebook.

26 PDFs total: a $845 value.

Onward!

Stretch Goal Unlocked!
about 4 years ago – Thu, Feb 13, 2020 at 08:50:29 PM

Congrats to everyone... most of you are getting a free book, and new content has been added to the Core book for all backers!  

The campaign description has been updated to reflect this.

UNLOCKED! $10,000: TENTH Component Book: FlexTale Factions.  This will be a FREE PDF to all Everything or Upgrade backers, and just as with the other 9 component books, some content from this tome will make it into the FlexTale v2.0 Core tome as well, so everyone benefits!  One of the things I'm most proud of in adventure setting books like Druid Enclave is the Factions: More than just a quick title and snippet, these full-featured factions sport a bunch of detail that makes them feel more like rich real-life groups.  The FlexTale Factions book will offer dozens of tables that help drive quick and easy creation of immersive, diverse, and interesting factions for any fantasy RPG world.

Onward!

Final Week! NEW Stretch Goal Tenth Book: FACTIONS!
about 4 years ago – Tue, Feb 11, 2020 at 04:41:56 PM

Wow!  Over 100 backers, and heading toward a major financial milestone as well.  I continue to be blown away by the interest in this tool.  Thank you to backers new and old for your support!

In honor of where we've gotten to already with more than a handful of days yet remaining, I'd like to announce a new Stretch Goal of new, FREE, additional content, should we hit the target.

New Stretch Goal

I'd been avoiding Stretch Goals in general, primarily because the project as described is already quite ambitious and enormous in scope.  However, it's been so successful, I wanted to reward those who have climbed aboard with additional content that's already planned to some extent across different other projects; it's just a matter of codifying it in a manner that aligns with the FlexTale v2.0 books.
