Lots of news today: new add-ons, new poll, slipcase art sketch, new video. Let's start with the main takeaway:
"We're giving you backers what you want! Starting with the add-ons you asked for!"
Backers have been so enthusiastic about having a 5E version of Beneath the Isle of the Serpents, and a DCC version of Sacrificial Pyre of Thracia, that we have added these options as add-ons. Scott and Bob are hard at work on the conversions already. (Write faster, dammit!)
Now every rules set has every adventure option!
If you'd like to add them on, here are the links:

What about the $600k stretch goals? The $600k stretch goal was the conversion of these adventures with a free PDF for all backers. That stays the same - every backer still gets the free PDF at $600k. We're just offering the print add-on option earlier.
Team Update
Team 5E remains slightly ahead in the rankings! We just posted a new trivia question about gladiators...you can vote below. Remember, the winning team wins something special at the end of the project. Take your educated guess now!
Slipcase Art
As you know, we recently unlocked the slipcase as a $15 add-on. It will feature new art by Doug Kovacs! Doug just sent in the rough sketch and it looks awesome.
Here's a preview. Please note: this is the rough black-and-white sketch of what will be a color painting. Obviously it's early in the process. If you're not familiar with the commercial art approval process, be aware that this sketch shows only "placement of elements" - the final version will be rendered in full color and will have a more "painterly feel."
We're quite happy with the placement of elements shown here and look forward to Doug's final color version!
