Hello everyone!
The Kickstarter funds have now officially cleared, so art for the definitive edition is underway. I've delivered a full brief to the cover artist and she's gotten started with her initial sketches, so I'm looking forward to being able to share some in-progress art in the near future. There has been steady progress on layout over the last two weeks - classes, weapons and magic are looking good, and we're now in the process of consolidating all the setting and lore details from the different expansions into the one chapter.
Backerkit surveys will be going out soon - we'll be asking for shipping details if you've ordered a print copy, but I won't be charging anything through Backerkit yet. Shipping costs will be confirmed in a few months once we're close to the final print release, to make sure we can get the most fair and up to date price for everyone. I will be putting backer names in the credits, so please put your preferred name in the survey if you'd like to be included.
If your survey hasn't arrived in the next week and you can't find it in your spam email box, you'll be able to manually request the survey link at this webpage here:
Thank you all - please look forward to the next update!
Thank you everyone!! With 8 hours left on the clock, we have now reached 100% funded on the campaign. I'm very grateful to supporters old and new, and I'm sure we'll have a really fun time bringing This World Summons Too Many Heroes!! to TTRPG players everywhere.
If things do keep powering on, the expanded art budget is the next reachable goal for the project. I'm just happy to see the project funded at this point, but I know that a strong illustrated bestiary would be a very cool thing to have. Here's a reminder of what that looks like:
STRETCH GOAL #1: EXPANDED ART BUDGET ($14,000 AUD, approx $8720 USD)
At this level, I will increase the art budget to include more commissioned illustrations in the game. The higher backer tiers will already be funding art of characters, so I will be primarily using this expanded budget on enemies and monsters! I would also like to get chibi art of the Cerian goddesses for use in the margins throughout the book.
Thank you all again - it's been such a big 48 hours for the campaign, but the effort was well worth it and I'm looking forward to seeing the final product come together.
Hi everyone!
We're down to the last 12 hours of the campaign, with about 7% left to raise. At the 8 hour mark an email will go out to the 200~ project followers who have yet to back the project, so I'm hoping that's when we will get the final push necessary to reach full funding!
You may have missed the Actual Play stream on my Twitch this afternoon - due to my computer badly misbehaving, we ended up running it on Ettin's Twitch channel instead. It's a good resource showing how I run the game as a GM, and it showcases the first act of the Season of the Sage expansion adventure that will be included in the definitive edition. It also showcases how I use Foundry VTT and the Simple Worldbuilding System to run the game online.
If there's anyone you know who is interested in the game but just hasn't got around to backing yet, it's a great time to talk to them again and get them on board. Thank you all so much for supporting the campaign so far, and I'm looking forward to speaking to you all again at the end of what I'm hoping will be a successful Kickstarter campaign!
Hello! We're approaching the final 48 hours of the campaign and the sprint towards 100%+ funded, so I'll be very active over the next few days. I've done some edits polishing up the Kickstarter page, mostly to give some more specifics about what art you can expect to see added to the game as part of the first two stretch goals. Stretch goal number three has been removed as an offering - thanks to our Villain, Kingdom Lord and Dungeon Boss backers, the book will have some great extra setting, enemies and plot hooks as is.
I have two promotional streams on my Twitch over the weekend. The first is a stream tomorrow night with Ettin, where we are going to go through character building and build him a player character for the game the night after!
Stream Time: Saturday 22nd 7pm AEDT / 12am PST / 8am GMT
The second stream will be a one-shot session of the game I am running for Ettin, Arraxis and Siythrun. Siythrun was part of my first ever playtest group for This World Summons Too Many Heroes!! and Arraxis has played before as well, but this will be Ettin's first time as a player rather than a GM for the game. I'm looking forward to it a lot!
Stream Time: Sunday 23rd 4pm AEDT, Saturday 22nd 9pm PST / 11pm CST
Please go ahead and leave a comment on the Kickstarter if you have any questions about the project, your backer tier, or just if you're excited for the book! I'll do my best to respond to everyone.
