Project Update: Pledge Manager Smoke Test + More Proof Photos

Hello everyone!

The pledge manager is imminent! Smoke test emails should be landing in some in-boxes right now!

But first, a quick reminder: Old-School Adventures & Pinball Crawl Classics ends in about 48 hours. Pledge for the exclusive clamshell box and cover variants before they're gone!

Smoke Test Initiated


We just initiated the pledge manager smoke test, so about 5% of backers will receive a pledge manager survey via email any minute now. The goal of the smoke test is to find any bugs in the pledge manager setup so we can fix them early. ("Smoke test" as in, "where there's smoke, there's fire!") If you find anything weird in your survey, please speak up!

If all goes as planned, the survey will roll out to all backers soon!

More Printer Proof Photo


We continue to go back-and-forth with the printer on finalizing items. More proofs have trickled in since the recent video we posted for backers. Here are some photos of the latest items.

Cover for How to Write Even Better Adventures. This is an uncut cover; it's the "actual cover", printed on a board with lamination applied, but without being glued or bound to the text block.


Angled shot of the same cover, shot so the light catches on the spot gloss atop the cartoons. The way the light reflects, they look almost like stickers on a composition notebook!


Cover for The Monster Alphabet.


Cover proof for The Monster Alphabet, with the cover for The Flumph's Catalogue of Magical Curiosities placed in front to give a sense of scale. Yes, the Monster Alphabet is BIG!


Cover proof for Flumph's Catalogue of Magical Curiosities.


Unbound cover proof for the DCC Dying Earth Tome of Adventure.


Uncut cover proof for the DCC Bonus Monster Booklet.


This is perhaps not the most interesting photo, but it shows progress on the DCC and MCC print jobs. These are the printer dummies for those core book reprints, showing softcover and hardcover mockups to verify paper stock and binding decisions. Everything looks good, so next up will be proofs with ink applied.


We anticipate the pledge manager going to all backers soon - we will post here when it does.

Last chance for exclusives!


Our current crowdfunding includes an amazing clamshell box for Pinball Crawl Classics. Plus two different cover options for Old-School Adventures #1! This is your last chance to get the exclusives and stretch goals so check it out quick if you're interested!

The 5E adventure has two cover options: a weathered "TSR look" or a B/W "zine look".
