Project Update: Final 48 - Latest Stretch Goals and a New Achievement!

Hello friends, we're down to the final 48 hours of the campaign to expand Blades In The Dark and we've got some fresh previews and news to share.

First up, you've funded all eleven stretch goals! We're frankly a little gobsmacked at the outpouring of support. Thank you!

The final three stretches granted 8.5" x 5.5" sticker sheets to every backer getting physical rewards. We turned our spectacular graphic designer Cris Viana loose on these and we're happy to give you a little preview today:

A mockup of the three pages of stickers that were unlocked. They include a variety of icons: potions, skull and crossbones, flintlock pistols, the twin daggers, and more. It also includes two sets of clock icons divided variously into 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 segments.


The goal here is to provide a wide set of icons you can use on... your Red Ledger notebook, Doskvol Map, character sheet, game journal or laptop. We've included clocks, NPC portraits, the iconic Twin Daggers and more. Use them to track Heat, mark a safehouse, or memorialize an encounter with Ulf Ironborn.

All that being said, this is a prototype design so if there's something you think is missing or any other suggestions you might have, let us know in the comments.

Second, while we've wrapped up the stretches, we have one final Community Achievement to unveil:

A score tracker with 6 of seven segments filled in. Caption: 4000 backers, add Gentleman Scoundrel to Scurlock's Vault<.alt>


Become the Gentleman Scoundrel, a Doskvol rogue who wields a pen as well as they handle a blade. Guided by card draws from the Cutter's Deck along with custom prompts, write a 13-line poem to canonize your crew, reach into the ghost field, intimidate your enemies, and throw a wrench into the gears of oppression.

Designed by Allison Arth, this standalone, solo roleplaying game is a special Blades-themed hack of Gentleman Bandit. It's a writing-focused RPG you can play with a deck of cards, an optional six-sided die, and the writing implements of your choice.

Added to Scurlock's Vault and unlocked for everyone at the $12 level+ when we reach 4000 backers!

We're humbled by the success of this campaign. It's been a wonderful turnout for fans of this groundbreaking game. And it's not over yet.

Thank you again for your support and keep spreading the word!
