Project Update: Solo Play Unlocked!

Iadace, backers—

You’ve done it again, and another stretch goal is behind us. We are now making Iadace, You Beast—a new, standalone solo game for Numenera. It’s available as an add-on and, better yet, added to the rewards of every backer at the ALL-IN (print and PDF) and (in PDF) ALL-IN (PDF only) pledge levels.

What’s that, you say? You aren’t backing at one of those levels? Consider upgrading—it was a great deal to start with, and since the campaign launched we’ve added these items:

Tales from the Amber Archive (an entire book full of standalone, low-prep adventures)
The new Cypher Deck (featuring 100 cyphers in addition to those in the Amber Archive Deck)
Iadace, You Beast (the solo-play game you just unlocked)
And an upgrade to the Ninth World Explorer’s Pack, an ALL-IN (print and PDF) exclusive

We’re only about halfway through this campaign. How many additional rewards will we add before it’s over?

Every time we unlock a stretch goal, we throw in a little bonus reward for every backer, no matter their pledge level—a vinyl sticker. We asked you to vote for the next design, and (by a pretty narrow margin) here’s what you chose. Check out that laptop for the full selection of stickers you’ve unlocked so far!

Stretch Goal: Cypher Dust Jacket

Like a strange bit of the numemera pried from the wall of an ancient, sprawling prior-world vault, this one might seem a bit odd—but once you start to use it we think you’ll really love it!

As you adventure in the Ninth World, you’ll get a lot of use out of both the new Numenera book and the Cypher Character Rulebook. The latter is a beautiful book with a striking cover image, but what if it was a bit more Ninth-World themed?

Let’s Numenera it up, with a beautiful deluxe dust jacket!

This premium-quality, double-sided dust jacket slips neatly onto your Cypher Character Rulebook, giving it an elegant Numenera vibe. It will be available as an inexpensive add-on, and added to the rewards of all backers at the ALL-IN (print and PDF) pledge level. We’ll unlock it when we reach 2925 backers.

And, of Course, a Sticker!

As with every stretch goal, we’ll also include a free bonus for every backer. Which of these should be our next sticker design?

Mockup of a sticker showing a fantasy creature called a philethis, which looks like a looming cloak-covered being of indeterminate build with a smooth, eye-like face.

And Keep Spreading the Word!

This campaign is really soaring, and that’s 100% down to you! Crowdfunding campaigns only take off like this when their backers keep the buzz going. We still have over two weeks to go, and loads of exciting stretch goal ideas we’d love to unlock!

Here are a couple of sharable graphics; right-click to download them and share them on social media. You can also compose your own post, of course, or find inspiration and images from ours—you can find all our social media accounts here.

The more we all share, the more backers we reach—and the more stretch goals we unlock!

Thanks for your support!
