This morning, Huckleberry broke through the $50,000 stretch goal! What a perfect Halloween treat. I'm so excited that we get to include Jaime's The Slaughterhouse (Working Title) in A Season of Avarice. Jaime is a very talented writer and this bloody bounty is going to be great fun. As you know from our previous update, Jaime is already hard at work on the first draft. After it's gone through some notes and internal playtesting in a couple months, I'll be sharing the text with you for public playtesting. Keep an eye on the bounty board for new updates!
Our next goal is at $55,000 for Jeff to write a sidequel to Veils & Vengeance. It'll feature the same swampy vibes, along with the weeping folk horror, but not require playing V&V first or even at all! Your Mavericks are getting some mud on their boots either way.
We're only 4 days out from the end of this campaign and I couldn't be happier with our progress. We're on track to unlock the next bounty, but the free Alchemy licenses might take a bit of effort. Together, we still have a good chance to pull it off. If you talk about spooky RPGs with your friends this weekend, be sure to give Huckleberry a shout out. Let's close this campaign with a bang!
Much obliged, Steven

For one long year. the Cobb Gang enforced their version of justice on King City. Almost everyone has a story about a brutal punishment they endured at the hands of the Cobbs, under the pretense of law enforcement. The gang was comprised of the three Cobb brothers, along with a small, silent man named Hollis Dayton. As he never spoke, no one knew for certain why Hollis would ride with such cruel and fickle men, but the wicked glint often in his eye suggested he was of similar disposition. Thankfully, the Cobb Gang's reign of terror was short-lived. Each of the four lawmen died in their sleep. On the same night. And "Good riddance" is all that was said.
