Hello, backers—

The opening week of this campaign has been a rousing success—you’ve really gotten Jewel in the Sky off to an amazing start!

You’ve unlocked yet another stretch goal, and we’ll be making the loose-leaf maps included in the backer-exclusive boxed set twice as big—tabloid sized (roughly A3) instead of letter sized (roughly A4).

And hitting that goal, of course, also means another free bonus reward for every backer. You voted to add this XP card to your collection:

Your Jewel in the Sky adventures will be the stuff of legends. (Monte’s been running a playtest for a couple of months now, and we’ve been having an epic time!) Straight out of the box (or the book), you’ll have a everything you need for an awesome fantasy or sci-fi experience, loaded with immersive detail and atmosphere. But your campaign will really shine when you make it your own—customizing NPCs and encounters to your players’ strengths and interests, tracking subplots and character arcs, and so on. We want that part of your experience to come as easily and naturally as the storylines and encounters you find in Jewel in the Sky.

So we’d like to include a custom GM’s notebook. Record character information, plan upcoming sessions, take notes, record prompts, and track events in this digest-sized journal. It’s an entire new item in the Jewel in the Sky boxed set—another component that helps you build a truly great dungeon experience for you and your players.

As always, when we unlock this goal we’ll add a free bonus reward for every backer. You’ve been voting for your favorite XP cards throughout this campaign. Often the votes have been close, but so far nearly all of the winners have been fantasy characters.

That’s fine, but we want to solidly represent the sci-fi side of Jewel in the Sky, too. So this time we’re going to do something a little different—instead of choosing from two new designs, we’d like you to pick one of the sci-fi characters that barely missed winning in past polls. Which is your favorite?

Vote now, and we’ll add the winner to everyone’s rewards when we unlock the GM’s Notebook!
