Project Update: THANK YOU! - (and Wilds of Willowmere Update)

First of All...

Thank you all so much for your help in bringing Familiar Tales to life! We're so blown away by the support YOU offered to make this a reality, and we're so SO excited to be creating for you :D

The campaign has come to an end and we are going to be moving into the pure creative phase of finishing off the last of the writing, getting the art done, and then into layout.

The Wilds of Willowmere

Our final stretch goal at $12,000 was to unlock a final full module for Familiar Tales: The Wilds of Willowmere, where your party of brave little adventurers could step off the edges of the map to explore lands unknown! Beetle-riding hares, magical sprites, and the heart of Glimmer (magic) itself reside in the Wilds, and we were veyr ready to explore the unknown with you! Unfortunately we didn't quite hit the target, settling out about $1,255 below what we needed to make it happen.

BUT

We want it anyway. We're jazzed to work with some really awesome writers and artists, so here's what we're going to do! The Wilds of Willowmere is still a locked stretch goal, which means it can't be included in everyone's pledges, but we'll be adding it to the pledge manager as an optional add on that you can purchase at a MUCH lower price than it will cost later on. We expect The Wilds of Willowmere to retail at $45, so we'll be offering it in the pledge manager for $25. If you'd like the opportunity to experience even more of Willowmere and to explore the colourful and eclectic weirdness therein, please consider adding this add-on to your rewards in the pledge manager!

Surveys and the Process From Here

From this point we'll be kicking into production! The way BackerKit works is that it takes a couple of weeks for them to process pledges and deposit funds. You'll want to make sure your payment information is up to date so that there's no delay in processing your pledge! 

Once your pledge charge has cleared and BackerKit has transferred funds, we'll be releasing the surveys so that you can let us know exactly which rewards you want! You'll have a few months to complete this survey, and we'll keep it open so you can make adjustments and add things on. Once we're a little closer to fulfilment we'll close the survey. One important thing to note! Shipping will be charged a little bit closer to fulfilment as well. We want to make sure those charges are accurate, especially with all the tariff and border stuff going on right now, so we won't be hitting that button until we're ready to ship :)

Last Thoughts

I know I keep saying it, but I can't help but feel such incredible, intense gratitude for each and every one of you. Thank you so much for helping us bring this to life. It's a true gift to be able to create for you, and we look forward to introducing you to Familiar Tales. 

See you in Willowmere <3

Would it be possible to upgrade to the signed tier in the pledge manager if I can't afford it just now? It sounds really cool!

backerkit is STRESSING ME OUT. i’m apparently not allowed to remove add ons — there’s a delete icon but it does NOTHING. i would very much like to have switched from pdf to physical stretch goals but oh well….is there anyway to do this on the backend later?

Project Update: Familiar Tales - ONE HOUR LEFT! Help us hit our last Goal!

ONE HOUR TO GO!!!

Hello friends! 

First off thank you so much for your support over this campaign! We're blown away by the love we've seen launching our very first TTRPG. It means so much to both Morgan and I (Michael) that you want to play in our world.

We're at the 1 hour mark, and I'm so excited about what we've managed to unlock so far :D At this stage everyone at the Greenfen Tier and above is getting access to whatever is in their pledge PLUS: 

A full audio ambiance pack
A full downloadable music album
10 custom character sheets
and
4 BRAND NEW module arcs for Familiar Tales!

We're so close to unlocking the final stretch goal which is a brand new full length story for Familiar Tales - The Wilds of Willowmere!

This module will be written by a group of incredible guest writers, with art by some of our favourite artists. We're less than $1500 away with an hour to go, so we're hoping to ask for your support in getting us over that final finish line!

If you like what you see, please consider maybe adding a set of dice, or a map to your pledge! If you've got a friend who might like the world of Willowmere we've created, show them the page! 

One hour to go, let's rally!

<3

I'm unsure if there is an email I should be reaching out to (like there was for the Witch's Kitchen custom pin tier) or if I should be waiting for someone to reach out to me. The tier itself doesn't specify and I don't want to create any complications for the team 😅
