Project Update: FINAL STRETCH GOAL UNLOCKED!!

Hi Everyone!

You did it! The final stretch goal has been unlocked, which means the Mutant Minis will be available in the Pledge Manager! We couldn't have done it without you!

There's 4 days left. All the stretch goals are unlocked, which means the dice insert, the Master AI Patron wroteup, and The Soothsayer, & The Shuttlecraft post-advenutre additions will be added for free. The Mutant Minis will be available as an Add-On in the pledge manager.

It looks like we're on our way to a strong finish. Thanks so much for a great campaign. We're almost there.

Talk soon,

Chris

Project Update: Mutant Miniatures

Hello Everyone!

Good news! I have a photo of the four Mitant Minis. This stretch goal hasn't been unlocked yet, but... once it is, these will be available in the pledge manager for $26. .

They are a little hard to see in this group shot, so let me give you a little more info.

Because not everything is as it seems, most (not all) of the monsters are actually mutated humans described in fantasy terms, such as goblins, bugbears, etc. The person responsible for sending you on youur quest is a wizard named L Seader (who is also a mutant).

This is the region of SIFDASU, home to a tribe of gpb;ins, orcs, and a bugbear.

As your players (and their characters) learn more about the world they inhabit, it will gradually become clear to them that they are not living in an idyllic medieval fantasy world, but are in fact on a generational starship with no knowledge of how they got there, where they are headed, or why. All will be made clear in the end, but first you must fetch the Tome of knowledge for the wizard.

The "wizard" L. Seader who sends you on your quest.

So we're oretty close to the final stretch ogal. I'd love to hit it and make these miniatures available in the pledge manager. We just need a little push. You can even add to your pledge now and it will show up as credit in the Pledge Manager. $26 for a set of all four minis.

Only five days left...

Thanks everyone! Talk soon.

Project Update: 1 Week left, Origins, New Add-On, Stretch Goals

Hello Everyone!

Thanks so much for all of your support on this project, especially over the last week. I keep saying this, because it's true. All of this happens because of you folks! I really appreciate it.

Origins was awesome and I was really excited to meet a few of you there. I had a great time and even managed to play a few games. I definitely plan to go back next year.

We have just under a week left, which is wild. This project has flown by (for me). We're super close to the final stretch goal, which is the mutant miniatures. I should have a pic of all four of those those in the next update. They will be available as an add-on in the pledge manager (IF we hit the final stretch goal).

Here's a WIP pic of one of them.

Speaking of add-ons, I've added a new one. The Triglin Miniatures (Set 1) from The Carnivorous Cauldron. These three-eyed goblins are pretty awesome and an integral part of the story in The Carnivorous Cauldron. They also make GREAT mutants for your MCC game.

We're working on a second set of those guys, in addition to the mutant minis. Those will be done soon.

That's it for now, but expect another update with more pics soon.

Project Update: Fourth Stretch Goal Unlocked! Fifth Stretch Goal Revealed!

Hey Everyone!

Thanks so much for going to space with us. The launch and the llanding are pretty exciting, but the long trip in the middle can be... a little less exciting for sure. Still, we are well on our way to Lalande 21185C!

Progress on Stretch Goals!
You managed to unlock the 4th stretch goal, which is super awesome. This means the second "post-credits scene" will be included for free in the adventure. The Shuttlecraft is a mini adventure, set after the main events of
The Eye of God, and meant as a way to help transition things to the next adventure.

Now that SG4 is unlocked, it's time to reveal Stretch Goal #5! If we hit this stretch goal, a pack of Mutant Minis (suitable for use with any non-zombie, post-apocalyptic setting, but especially designed for use with The Eye of God and the other Apocalyptic Adventure! modules) will be made available for purchase as an Add-On in the Pledge Manager.

No pictures yet, but we'll have some before the pledge manager launches.

Thanks a bunch for being here. Talk soon!

Project Update: 2 weeks in! Origins, Surveys, and a security update

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for being here. We couldn't do any of this without you!!

It's been a weird week. Overall pretty quiet the last few days, aside from some minor pledge fluctations. These things happen, but I'm still really hopeful we'll bust through stretch goal #4, given how close we are to it.

Origins Fame Fair
We have 2 weeks left, and I'm going to be at Origins for the last half of this week, so if you're going, just look for the guy in the Explore Dungeons shirt (I can't imagine there would be more than one of us, but you never know). If you want to connect, I'll mostly be in the business panels, or playing Battlestations & Heroscape.

Surveys!
This doesn't apply to this campaign, yet... but PLEASE COMPLETE YOUR SURVEYS. We have a small boatload of outstanding, nondigital pledges that have not completed their surveys. You already gave me money, but I can't send yur stuff without a completed survey.

Security Update:
Just a quick note, BackerKit will never ever ask you to verify your account or payment details through an external link, and that official BackerKit communications always display a BackerKit staff badge.

Ok sure, but why?
Apparently some malicious actors were fake backing the project and then posting phishing links in the comments. Some of you reported them (THANK YOU!!) nefore I ever saw them, and they (along with their fake pledges) have been removed and reported to the payment processors and other places. If you see them pop up again, please do not click on their link, but please DO report them to me or BackerKit (or both).

Thank you everyone.

Chris
