PROJECT UPDATE

Project Update: Surveys, Playtests, and a SURPRISE ADDON!!!

Howdy everybody!

First, I want to apologize for the delay in my communication here. It's been a hectic and busy few months, but I've finally caught up and we're on track for some amazing things for Wayfinder!

Surveys

Let's start by talking about Surveys. They should be heading out in the next few days!! I know this has been a long time coming, and I'm truly sorry for that. Unfortunately, due to uncertainty with trade and a lot of factors weighing heavily on my business at the moment, I had to prioritize the health of my finances before I committed to any additional spending on a surprise that I'll talk about later. And thankfully, due to some very successful wrangling on my part, I was able to bring down costs a bit on some key elements of Wayfinder, and have found enough funds myself to be able to provide a special addon. I'll talk more about that in a moment.

Booklet Sneak Peek

Available to everyone participating in the Playtest(see below for information) is the Beta Version PDF of Wayfinder: The Roleplaying Game. I'm so excited to have this out in the open for feedback from you all. Here is is a sneak peek at what is in store for playtesters, and for all backers once the book finally releases!



Playtesting

The Alpha internal playtests were a roaring success, and I've been able to finish the layout and writing for the Beta version. This means that you all will be able to participate in the Beta playtest, if you'd like!

In order to participate in the Beta Playtest of Wayfinder, and offer feedback BEFORE we go to print, please fill out this form, which is a basic NDA to ensure that the intellectual property of Wayfinder is kept safe while in this phase:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScZPcZqQQnODze0OypEnwsGJcKc9EcDol-gZSbXihnGxFL-Nw/viewform

Once you fill out that form, you'll be able to join our Discord server here and request access to the Playtest Materials here:
https://discord.gg/gWmjm4KySb

Once you're given access through Discord, you'll have everything you need to start playing Wayfinder! Any and all feedback is crucial during this time. While we've fine tuned a lot over the past few months, even more feedback is needed to make sure this game is the best it can be! Thank you all for your consideration here, and I'm so excited to hear your thoughts!!

SURPRISE NEW ADDON (INCLUDED IN ALL LEGEND TIER ORDERS)

As I eluded to earlier, I've been able to reallign some finances on my end to make something truly special happen. That is, I am now offering a NEW ADDON that will be available to all backers!! THIS IS ALREADY ADDED TO ANY LEGEND TIER ORDERS AUTOMATICALLY AND FREE OF CHARGE!!



You can choose to add this Addon to your order through your Survey! It costs $20 to upgrade to the Leather Edition book for Wayfinder(IF you already have a physical copy of Wayfinder purchased). Which is truly a steal, since the final price will be somewhere around $55-$60 for the Leatherbound Edition.

I'm so excited I was able to make this happen, and I'm SOO excited to see these on your bookshelves!

Thank you all for everything, and for making this campaign such a huge success. Until next time,

Austin

Can you provide more information about the cloth maps (dimensions, planned fabric, printing method) for reference? They're quite pricey, but depending on those specs might be *totally* worth it to add-on or increase a pledge tier, and knowing they're a good investment might help us clear these last stretch goals!

Project Update: LAST CHANCE for FREE rewards, and New Art Reveals!

We're in the final stretch here now, and WOW. This campaign has gone so much further than I expected. I want to thank you all once more for your support, and as a thank you in this final moment of the campaign, I want to share some new artwork for the game that was just finished by two of our collaborating artists.

Last Chance for FREE Rewards
As we near the close of the campaign here, I wanted to call out one final time that this is your LAST CHANCE to get the FREE rewards if you back both my campaign AND Familiar Tales. If you have not backed their campaign yet, please consider doing so, as you will get a FREE Quill Pin, and set of Quill dice.
