I just wanted to take a quick moment to send out a reminder to those of you who bought a $2 reservation right before the Hellfinder campaign went live.
That purchase entitles you to a FREE copy of the Half Past introductory adventure, which means you do not have to add it onto your pledge. You will not see it added to your cart or order, but rest assured, I will have that information when it comes time for fulfillment and I will make sure it ends up in your order.
Now... a few quick notes
You will get the adventure in whatever format you are getting the Dossiers. So if you back the project getting PDFs, you will get the Half Past pdf. You will get the print version if you get the print version of Hellfinder. If you get both versions of the dossiers, you get both of the intro adventure.
If you DO NOT back the project, I will still send you the Half Past pdf when the project is completed, but please note, the intro adventure does not include the rules for character creation or all the rules for Stress and Trauma.
Remember, the adventure will be delivered with your pledge rewards.
That's all I have for now. The campaign is rolling along nicely and the $25k goal is rapidly drawing near. Keep sharing the project... and will unlock more monsters for everyone soon!
The Hellfinder campaign cruised past the $20k stretch goal, which means I am going to reach back out to my amazing artist to order several more pieces to include in the Dossiers.
Now, I should note that I have been holding back some of the more horrific pieces, and while you can get a sense of them on the crowdfunding page, I wanted to give you just one peak at one of the less savory characters you might run into as part of the campaign.
The Undertaker
There are quite a few additional pieces already like this in the project and as we hit some of the higher stretch goals, I am hoping to get even more terrifying pieces to pack inside this game!
Thank you all SO MUCH for your support up to this point! It means the world to me! Help me spread the word! We've still got a long way to go to hit the ultimate goal and unlock the Strange Journey!
I also want to take a moment to let you know that in the coming days I am going to give you all an inside look at the Agent creation process. I've gotten quite a few questions as to how that works and I'm happy to share more details with all of you!
First off, what a great launch! We raised over 16K in the first day of the campaign, crossing not only our funding goal, but also hitting the first Stretch Goal!
As a result, I am going add 6 more pages of Backgrounds, Flaws, and Equipment to the game. Backgrounds in Hellfinder work similarly to those in Pathfinder, but they are a bit streamlined for ease of play. I've pulled a sample of them out of the First Dossier to share with you here today!
Backgrounds
As you can see, each background gives you a sense of how your Agent grew up, gives you some bonuses to your Attributes, trains you in a skill (hooray Bureaucracy) and gives you a special ability. Note that these are still in playtesting, but they should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect in the game.
What other types of backgrounds do you want to see? Leave a comment below with your ideas and I will harvest the best ones to include as part of this Stretch Goal!
One Small Request
Help me spread the word about Hellfinder! These first couple of days are critical to the campaigns overall success so anything you could do to help folks learn about the campaign will really help me out a lot! Thanks!
