Greetings, vislae—

It seems like just a day or two ago that we announced our latest stretch goal, and now, thanks to your efforts, we’ve already unlocked it! Invisible Sun: Indigo is now getting a lustrous foil box that really shows off the beauty of this game. This is a backer exclusive—it’s just for you, backers of this campaign. Gamers who purchase Invisible Sun: Indigo in the future (from MCG, a local game show, Amazon, or wherever) will get the standard version. It’s magnificent, but your copy will be even more so!

As happens with every stretch goal, you’ve also unlocked a bonus reward: a bookmark with evocative Invisible Sun art and useful reference information—in this case, for Teratology, Invisible Sun’s bestiary. 

We have another stretch goal lined up, but first:

There are thousands more vislae, here among us in Shadow, who have not yet rediscovered their true selves. We are working to find them, but we cannot do it without your help! Spreading the word about this campaign, and about Invisible Sun, is the only way to make this campaign reach new vislae—and new stretch goals.

If you’re a veteran Invisible Sun player (and, based on the number of backers who are only pledging for The Electric Sun, that’s many of you), won’t you help others discover this wonderful game? More on this below.

Where might your exploits in the Actuality take you? Invisible Sun narratives are rarely as simple as the adventures you might experience in other TTRPGs. This is in large part due to the baked-in impact that the player characters’ motivations have on the game, creating intricate, intertwining subplots and giving the game a life of its own. But it’s also down to the unique and surreal nature of the Actuality and the many beings that inhabit it.

To give you some examples—and perhaps a touch of inspiration for your own narratives, Monte put together this list of plot hooks. You can download it for free right now!

The Electric Sun is a hardcover book describing the advent of a whole new sun, with associated magical praxis, its own warden, and new locations, creatures, characters—and conflicts. It’s a hardcover book, and we’ve already expanded it once, adding a new playable order of vislae to stand alongside weavers, makers, goetics, and vances (and, of course, apostates). There’s so much more that Monte and the design team would like to do with this title, though! So for our next goal, we’ll again expand The Electric Sun, this time with a bestiary of creatures associated with this new sun. If you’re familiar with Invisible Sun (or perhaps even own Teratology), you know these creatures will be mind-blowing and surreal, and have a variety of interesting motivations and ways to impact your narrative. We’ll unlock this substantial expansion to the page count of The Electric Sun when we reach 1475 backers.

In our last update, we unveiled a couple of potential designs for the new set of wicked keys funded by this campaign. By a narrow margin, you chose this one:

You gave us loads of great feedback and comments—so let’s do it again! Here are two more preliminary designs. We’ve launched another poll in the comments—head over there and let us know which one you like best!

Every time we unlock a stretch goal, we add a reference bookmark for one of Invisible Sun’s many inspiring and useful supplements as a free bonus reward. When we unlock the current goal, we’ll add a bookmark for Enchiridion of the Path to the rewards of every backer.

Enchiridion of the Path is a sourcebook taking you on a tour of the Path of Suns. It’s chock-full of information about the Silver, Green, Blue, Indigo, Grey, Pale, Red, and Gold realms. What makes it particularly unique is that the entire book is a handout—every page is made to be removed and given to players who have uncovered key information about these worlds.

Every backer, regardless of pledge level, will get the bookmark for Enchiridion of the Path, and all unlocked bonus bookmarks, added to their rewards for free!

Only you can make this happen. Invisible Sun is a truly magical game—but most gamers don’t even know it exists! Help us spread the word to reach this goal and expand The Electric Sun—and unlock who knows how many goals beyond that? Here’s how you can help:

Thanks for your support!
