We're live, folks! Thank you for your support, but don't forget to get the word out - share it everywhere and get your gamer friends and contacts on board! Get your gaming group excited about a sci-fi campaign and get them to bid! The faster we fund, the faster we can raffle off those AA books AND start knocking down stretch goals! 

Also, let's get some conversation going here! What's your favorite genre of sci-fi? What do YOU want to do with 13p at your table? Mix it with Wasted Lands for science fantasy? Go Aliens with it and mix with Night Shift? Or just go pure sci-fi - cyberpunk, post-apocalypse, space opera, hard sci-fi, or something else?

Project Update: Enter the Gates! - Draft Manuscript Preview #1 for Backers

Hello Heroes!

My name is James, and I’ll be your Onyx Path Crowdfunding Concierge for this new tabletop roleplaying game project - At The Gates. I’ll be updating the campaign as we go, hopefully adding Stretch Goals, answering questions, and providing support wherever needed as best I can.




I’ll note that I’m not part of the creative team on this project – so I won’t be able to immediately answer some of the more intricate rules or design inquiries – but having me manage this Crowdfunding campaign allows Danielle and the whole team of developers and writers to keep their focus on the awesome projects that they’ve got in the works.

That said, feel free to make me your point person for any questions or issues you may have. I'll make sure to dig up answers as quickly as possible and clear up any issues that arise. Mostly, I'm just looking forward to an exciting ride along with all of you on this (and future) projects.

This comment section is for all members of this community – united by our shared desire to see this project fund and develop – to cheerlead the project and figure out how best to spread the word about what we’re building here. If you’ve started a thread on whatever social media platform exists today or a Discord conversation about the game or this campaign – let me know about it so we can share that info. If you’ve discussed the game on a blog or podcast, let’s hear about it! If you’ve got funny ideas for social media hashtags, well we can do those too!

I will also be the person who gets to share the updates and previews with you! As noted on the main page and in the pledge descriptions, I also get to share an exciting treat – The At The Gates Draft Manuscript previews, so you can start reading the book immediately! Scroll down to the bottom of this post on the website to see the first BACKERS-ONLY update for a download link.

So, welcome to Crowdfunding by BackerKit! Welcome to the world of Gaia, the continent of Everend, and At The Gates! And now let’s see what waits for us on the other side of the gates …


International Shipping – Collected in the Pledge Manager

One quick note about Shipping before we get into the manuscript previews. 

First up, it's amazingly expensive to ship, especially from Onyx Path's home base in the US. We get that, but there's not much we can do at this time. Onyx Path is in a difficult space where the company is big enough that they're not saving money by fulfilling out of Rich's garage, but small enough that they can't really set up international partners to handle portions of the fulfillment. So we are where we are - for now. 

The best we can do at this point is to plan carefully, advise everyone up front that international shipping will likely be expensive (see our projections on the main page) and only charge what it costs us when the time comes. We’ll be charging for shipping in the Pledge Manager once the books are being printed and we can deal with the actual shipping charges rather than using our best-guesses this far out. If you live outside the US and aren't sure you want the hardcover or other physical items, you can pledge to the PDF tier now and upgrade your pledge in the Pledge Manager once we know the final shipping costs.

DRAFT MANUSCRIPT PREVIEWS - BACKERS ONLY

Remember, thanks to BackerKit magic, these download links are visible to Backers only - you must be logged in and reading this on the website to have access to the manuscript preview links. So, if you're reading this via e-mail, click that "Read The Update" link on the bottom and I'll see you below the title treatment.

WE WANT YOUR FEEDBACK

I'm going to be sharing the manuscript in sections over the next 30 days, Part of the reason for that is to keep focus on one section at a time so that Danielle and the team can gather feedback to help guide the manuscript through the next steps of editing and development. To that end, they've created a special Feedback Form for you to submit your comments after reading each section!


You can submit your Feedback here: AT THE GATES FEEDBACK FORM <link>

So I've got a question: In a lot of the pictures the bears seem to have Heterochromia, but in others they seem to have the same color eyes. So I'm curious what the final product will have?

Do we need to add it our pledge now, or will those of us in the first 48 hours have it added later?

Project Update: 13 PARSECS - THE AMAZING ADVENTURES RAFFLE IS ON!

First things first: I promise I won't blow up your inbox this whole campaign. We'll keep it to milestones, but we have one on right now!

Okay, folks, we did it! Funded in record time (for ELG). That means the AMAZING ADVENTURES RAFFLE IS ON! You still have time to get in - back us in the first 24 hours and your name is in the raffle! Also, if you help us get to $9,000 in the first 72 hours, the raffle expands and everyone who pledges in that time frame will be in! The winner will not be revealed until the end of the campaign, and remember, you must be a backer and remain one through the end to be eligible!  

Just a reminder, we have a lot of stretch goals to get through, the first few of which are super exciting, from a new Solar Frontier to hardcovers to leathers to print GM screens, commissioned artwork, full-color printing, and beyond!

Remember, all we need is $13,000 to hit hardcover with a pledge level for LEATHERBOUND versions of the game! We have 32 days to get there, and we can totally do it! Remember, if we make it to $9,000 in 72 hours, the raffles increase in scale, AND we unlock hardcovers with EVERYONE who orders at a print level AUTOMATICALLY UPGRADED!

So what happens if we exceed $25,000? You'll have to get us there to find out, but I have some fantastic things in mind!

Let's do this!!!
