Project Update: A Splendid Campaign, If We Do Say So Ourselves!



Like a well-buttered crumpet, this campaign has reached a delightful conclusion!

Our heartfelt thanks to the 1,631 backers, gadabouts, country squires, and incorrigible gossips whose unimpeachable generosity has brought $155,817 to RiverBank RPG. If anyone deserves a stealthy escape from Great Aunt Lucretia’s unbearably stuffy literary salon, it’s surely every one of you.

Unlike those poor Animals at Lucretia’s sparsely-attended (and worst of all - uncatered) soiree, designer Kij Johnson and the kobolds will be enjoying themselves immensely with a short break by the river's purling waters. 

Be ready for further updates regarding fulfillment and small previews... In due time. Next week, perhaps! On somewhat approximating a monthly basis! We do enjoy sharing news and sketches, and there's all the summer before us. 

We raise our paws, claws, and daintiest teacups to you!

And here is another bottle which I hope might loosen the tongue for when it's time to tell stories.... and when tired at last, he sat, on the bank, while the river still chattered on to him, a babbling procession of the best stories in the the world, sent from the heart of the earth to be told at last to the insatiable sea.

Project Update: Add-Ons Abound!

As the end of the campaign approaches, the time has come to open up our cabinet of curiosities, stocked from most excellent partnerships, and to discuss the add-ons available to backers during the campaign and survey stages. Read on, dear Backers!



That elixir most essential to life! Our friends at D&Tea partnered with Kobold Press to present you with two divine teas; Poetry, an uplifting garden-party of a caffeine-free herbal blend, and Pother, our riotous black tea, blessed with a kick to put some zest in your next telegramme. 
 
Seeking more details on the tea? Watch for our tasting update, coming soon!
 
 



The only thing preventing RiverBank from disappearing under a tide of discarded teabags, a good tea infuser is worth its weight in gold! Featuring an enamel charm of Toad in his Sunday best, this single-cup infuser is utterly, well...charming.

 



Ah, those scandalous cubes of chance! Those polyhedral portents of pastoral disruption! For those of us  drawn to dice like an elder Mole to an oculist, these rosewood dice and accompanying dice bag provide both utility and rustic charm.

This deluxe set includes four, six, eight, ten, percentile, and 20-sided dice, as well as four special twelve-sided Animality/Poetry dice. These A/P dice speed up gameplay during Animality/Poetry challenges, but they are completely optional!
 



Let us conclude with a heartfelt thanks to all who joined us for our Riverside Chat with designer Kij Johnson and editor Sue Weinlein!

If your Betweentimes kept you from attending the Kobold Press YouTube in the moment, never fear, the complete discussion is available now. Dive deep into the world of RiverBank and find out about the process of making the game, the key design decisions, and more!

I just backed and read the preview for Riverbank, and I’m absolutely loving it! Are there any plans for future expansions? I'm imagining something like Spats & Society where we move into Town, with a slightly grayer, fog-tinged tone. Can't wait to play this!
