Hello, family!

It’s the final day of this campaign, and boy howdy are we off to an incredible start! This morning you unlocked our latest stretch goal, increasing the size of Come Hell or High Water and adding more content directly from Cam Collins and Steve Shell, the creators of Old Gods of Appalachia.

Our next idea is a doozy: it brings together an interesting new game effect, immersive game aids to pull you and your fellow players into the setting, and additional contributions from Cam and Steve. We think you’ll love it.

Your intrepid group has tracked the switchback poisoner to the Old #9, and you’re planning to venture into the shaft at first light. Fortunately, your mamaw had a recipe for soup beans and corn bread she’d always make when someone had a run-in with a copperhead or timber rattler. So you gather for a meal, and the next day you set out feeling fortified against the dangers to come.

We’re going to make a set of recipe cards, just like mamaw’s. Each will include a recipe on one side, and a game effect on the other. If your characters cook and eat the recipe, they gain the effect—it’s sort of like making cyphers, but uses normal ingredients and cooking instead of the crafting process. Some of these recipes may have in-world sources.

And that’s not all. The recipes will be authentic, with contributions from Cam and Steve themselves. Imagine cooking up a meal straight from the family traditions of the Old Gods of Appalachia creators! That would make for a great game night, wouldn’t it? We’ll also include our advice on bringing your group together to combine a wonderful meal with a fantastic game session.

Oh, and one more thing! Steve will read these recipes to you as well. You’ll get additional audio files to go along with them. To recap:

Backers at The Darkness Stares Back and The Darkness Stares Back • New to the Family will get this recipe card set as a physical reward. Every backer will get it in digital format. And it’ll be available as an add-on. We’ll unlock Good for What Ails Ya at $800,000.

There’s a reason we call it a stretch goal. This is a whole new product, and a truly immersive and fun addition to your rewards. Can we make it there?

This campaign has been on fire today, thanks to your support. With a nudge, that goal isn’t out of reach. Let’s all get out there, share this campaign, and end it on a high note with an amazing new item added to your rewards! See the end of this message for shareable images.

Drop by the campaign page in the final couple of hours—we’ll be hosting a live stream right here! Shanna, Cam, and Steve are liable to drop by and visit with us for a while, and perhaps we’ll see some of the other fine folk who are helping bring the Old Gods of Appalachia Roleplaying Game to life!

Thanks again for your support!
