Project Update: We're Fully Funded! + Cover WIP

Sometime on Wednesday, we passed our funding goal of $2500!  Thank everyone for their support and interest in our cool little world-building game! Fantasy in My Backyard was x8 the funding goal of my last lead campaign, Afterworld, which only asked for $350.

So what does funding mean? Simple, the game is going to get made, including the core rules, 6 magical communities, and 24 events. Additionally, this provides money for the cover, layout, and 3 interior illustrations (now 4 thanks to a generous backer who joined as an Art Patron)!

Speaking of which, here’s some WIP preview for the cover by the amazing Duamn Figueroa Rassol


We’ve already begun work on another round of revisions, including writing the new rules for the Coven, Pact, and additional events.



For the remainder of the campaign, we’ll include additional content every $500 until the campaign ends. Now, although we’re funded, there is still another $1300 in “out of pocket” investment planned. This $1300 includes money personally invested by team members and a sales projection after the campaign ends. Our ultimate goal is reaching $3888 in funding, which would mean the campaign is covering all expenses, and we can use the money on more expensive goals (like artwork) or begin to take on profit.
