Today, there's a video heavy update! Another episode of Scryglass Studio's Time Without Tide actual play is available now on YouTube! Check it out to see some in-person gameplay, as well as a sneak preview of one of the scenarios from Into the Fog.
We’re also releasing some short-form Time Without Tide videos. These were requested during one of our polls during the lead-up to the launch. There’s a few of them, which we’ll be releasing across the coming days. Here is a special preview of one, which covers making tests, the basic roll resolution mechanic underpinning the game.
We’re already almost halfway to unlocking our next stretch goal, so if you haven’t already, remember to back the campaign and vote in our poll for what you’d like to see next. A huge thanks to everybody who continues to share news about Time Without Tide. Remember to join the Chaosium Discord and comment here on Backerkit with any questions, thoughts, or stories you have.
We Pass $200,000! New Map & Vote on the Next Stretch Goal
We've just smashed our next stretch goal! Thank you so much for spreading the word and letting people know about Time Without Tide. We've already talked about what the expanded backgrounds mean for everybody (keep your votes coming!) so let's talk about what's next!
At $210,000 we'll be releasing an extremely comprehensive hex crawl map as a digital download for all backers. Forget Marc Moureau's beautiful World of Fog cartography for a second. This map is for players who want to walk every inch of the wilderness beyond the walls. If you're the kind of player who craves a hex crawl, you're in luck. This map will serve you for session after session of gameplay.
What about after that? The next stretch goal is completely hidden by the fog. Why? Because we want you to decide what it is. We've put together a suite of exciting options; things we want to see added to Time Without Tide and we think you will too. If you've backed the game, vote for your favorite. We’ll make the winner the next stretch goal!
As of today, there is just over a week left in our Backerkit campaign! 😱 Help us smash some more stretch goals. Back the project if you haven’t already and let the mirthful and miserable people in your life know about Time Without Tide.
