We hit 100 backers! Time to celebrate AGAIN!
Let's celebrate with a Hardback version of Volume 1!

We will be adding a Hardback of Righteous Vow Vol. 1: The Lich King of Ul to the Add-Ons section this week! Which means you can order an at-cost print and have it fulfilled by DriveThruRPG on the same order with your new books. And then you don't have to pay shipping again.  I had a lot of requests for this. And it's a terrific idea. We're going to make it happen. I'll send another update as soon as this is ready.

Fear not! Your Hardbacks will not be alone!

We can also celebrate with shirts!
If you head over to the Crawl Club shop you can pick up any one of our new designs. I would add them on here as add ons. But that would mess everything up with the whole shipping thing since all of the zines are being delivered through DriveThru. Regardless. Anybody who orders a shirt in the next 24 hours gets an extra sticker pack added to their order as a thank you for joining the Crawl Club and showing the world you're a huge nerd just like me. Oh wait I mean you're cool. I'm supposed to say you're cool. Darn it.

My kids especially love the charisma shirt. That one really gets tons of cheers and they don't groan at all. They keep talking about their charisma being high so I decided to make a shirt about it.

Have an amazing week. Thank you so much. And holy smokes you're probably tired of me saying thank you by now. But I'm going to keep doing it. Thank you!

Thank you!

Today was busy! I worked all day taking glimpses of my phone to see how amazing everyone is for backing our small publisher project. And then got to head out and enjoy a night of gaming with my son. We nearly got killed by a massive Otyugh in the sewers. But we made it out alive!

Anyway. Needless to say. Day 1 has gone amazingly. And I’m thankful for your support. Tomorrow night after work I’ll be hard at work with Wayne, my awesome editor, getting more work done on the zine. We’re getting closer to a second draft. Then we will do more changes, corrections, and playtesting. Also the Playtesters are hard at work. Reminding me that I can’t give things too high of an AC or every encounter will be a TPK. Sheesh. Silly me! 
But for real. I want everyone to have an amazing time with the zine. And I absolutely can’t wait to get it into your hands. But good things usually take time. So we’re going to be able to make that happen because of you. And I am extremely thankful!
So please, tell your friends, share the Backerkit!  And maybe we can crank out a few more awesome adventures for you and keep this good thing going. 

Have an awesome night. And seriously please come find me at Gary Con. I want to hi five/fist bump all of you! (And then use sanitizer after because con crud!)

-Bill and the Crawl Club team

First off. As part of the celebration of the successful funding of this Backerkit. We made some new t-shirt designs that you can get your hands on over at our shop.  Just head to https://shop.crawlclub.com/ and check out the new threads that cool people in the Crawl Club wear. (That's you. You're part of the Crawl Club now. Welcome to the club!)

Second. I wanted to tell everyone here. You're getting some bonus stuff because I said so. Everyone who ordered a copy of Righteous Vow, at ANY level of support. You're going to get a Print on Demand at-cost print of this poster. Because. You all need some great poster art in your man caves and she sheds. Your family is going to come over for dinner. And they're going to say. "Holy smokes that artwork of the barbarian gal absolutely running that lizard wizard through with a sword.  Now that really brings the room together!" So get ready to make grandma proud.

Here's some previews of the art, I think the print costs are like 75 cents or something like that. Don't quote me on it. But I looked the other day. And the POD cost for a poster is less than a George Washington. So. You should be able to add that to your cart once I figure out all of the logistics of that. Which I will obviously do soon since I promised this to everybody.

Also I wanted to include the art of the Battle in the Dark by Andrew Beckwith. This will be featured on the cover art of the Hardback book. As well as a bonus at-cost print available to backers who also back our collaboration with The Pits Below cartoon! If you haven't gone over there to check it out yet. Definitely do so! I am really excited about that project and backed it myself. Can't wait to watch some super awesome dungeon adventure cartoons! Also you can click HERE to go back it! Do it! Peer pressure!

Alright. That's pretty much it. Keep telling your friends about the zine. Be sure to go to Gary Con because I'm going to be looking for everybody wearing our shirts. And I'm going to throw sticker packs and other nonsense at you. Because I think you're great. I probably will not throw the pins at you though.  Because I roll 1s too often and I don't want to turn anybody into a pirate.

Did some design work today. Things are coming together on the cover art for the hardbacks.
Here's a preliminary design for the Volume 1 cover art. I think it looks pretty great. What do you think?

I'm having so much fun with this. You guys are going to love what's coming next! If we can somehow get to 150 backers or more by the end of this thing. I'm going to announce something else that will be added for all backers. Also. Thank you again. You guys, gals, and gelatinous cubes all rule!

Hardback Edition for Vol. 1 Now Available as an Add-on!
In the next week or so I'll have another update with the final design for the hardback cover for Volume 2 as well. Back to work! I have to make a hundred people happy!
