Project Update: π Shipping, Freebies, & Rad New Stuff!
I've just sent out the final address update/lockdown email. If you've moved since last summer make sure you update your address! If you've moved countries, send me a message ([email protected]), I'll need to update that for you.
The last update I have from the manufacturer is that the books will be arriving at the various warehouses by the end of this month. Assuming that holds and there are no delays, fulfillment will begin in the next 3 weeks!
What I've been working onβ¦
Since wrapping up the core books and sending the to the printer, I've been working hard on additional content: new classes (the Hexbinder, the Artificer, the Psion & more coming), new monster groups (orcs, troglodytes, death knights, constructs, traps & more), a new spell school (Terramancy!), and a bunch of new adventures, monsters, subclasses coming.
Much of it is available right now on the new Nimble Patreon with more coming every month (or on the webstore instead if you don't use Patreon).
Freebies!
The Community
I'd also love to highlight some of the wonderful tools and content the community has been putting together (in no particular order):
- Nimbrew.net A handy website to create your own great looking Nimble homebrew content (monsters, NPCs, magic items, and more). Great work LewisH!
- Tabletop Town app. A super cool app for building characters, encounters, monsters and more, quickly becoming a DNDbeyond for Nimble, big props to Mofi Rahman for creating it.
- Lissom app. A fantastic website to create custom heroes and a VERY useful roll comparison tool with more coming. By Gary Verhaegen and Lyunee
- Nim+ A free community magazine that releases every other month. So for 2 volumes have been released with a 3rd well underway. Submit your own creations from within the Homebrew channel on the Nimble Discord. Ran and edited by Santuric.
- Nimble Actual Play. The very talented and effervescent Maia Wilson is doing a well-produced liveplay of Obojim using the Nimble ruleset, live Saturdays at 5:30pm EST, and the edited VODs are posted shortly therafter, more info here.
- Foundry module softlaunch. The Foundry module has softlaunched and the community is working hard to work out bugs, add features, and supply the compendiums needed for easy and smooth play. It's available for free to anyone who already has Nimble. I don't know much about Foundry or how to get it, but check out the Foundry channel on the Nimble discord for more!
Finally, thank you.

Project Update: This is it. Final 3 days (and 1 more stretch goal) π
Wow, we smashed through the 200k stretch goal, the book upgrades will be a bit more expensive to produce, but thanks to the increased scale β I can afford to do it now at no additional cost to you all.
Only 2 stretch goals left, I'm really excited about the possibility of a Beastmaster Hunter, we've got a decent chance at making it since pledges tend to pick up toward the end of a campaign, and I've got some COOL ideas but I have to temper my excitement just a bit in case we don't.
On that note, I wanted to add just one more little reward to the last stretch goal on the off chance we make it to 250. Something I really wanted to do but didn't think I'd be able to. A Mini Bestiary for the GM book. This is NOT a full bestiary (that'd be it's own full project), but a few pages of some cool level appropriate monster groups. Enough to run with as a GM to create cool impromptu encounters.
Let's see if we hit it!

Upcoming PDF release plans & feedback
Note: I'm not currently looking for feedback on typos (I've got some very talented editors helping me with that already) that'll get sorted out before final print. The best kind of feedback is if something is unclear as written, if something is mechanically too complicated or underwhelming, or balance (something super broken or underpoweredβa little broken is okay πͺ).
Final Livestreams
I'm planning on doing a livestream during the last day of the campaign in the closing hours, Backerkit has an "overtime mode" for campaigns that extends the time by 10 minutes each time someone new pledges, so it might be fun to see how things shake out before its all said & done. I will be traveling and in a new place that day, but I'll have my computer and an internet connection so barring any unforeseen circumstances, we'll be live as the campaign ends, answering questions and doing a read through of the rules, maybe an adventure preview too.

Project Update: π Early Backer Mystery Subclass Revealed & STRETCH GOALS! π
The response has been absolutely amazing. Thanks to all of you, the project is off to a great start: we funded in just about 15 minutes yesterday and are currently over 1000% of our original funding goal. π€― I am so very thankful for you all, with your help I promise to make this the absolute best it can be!
Now onto the Mystery Subclass reveal! The OATHBREAKER!
Man I'm so excited for this, I can't even tell you... Instead of being a regular subclass chosen at level 3, this is going to be a special Story Driven Subclass. A player will be able to choose this subclass at ANY point along the level curve, when the story demands it. I love the idea of someone playing an Oathsworn, and watching something terrible happen (losing a party member, BBEG tempting or backstabbing them) and the BREAKING THEIR OATH... wow, that just seems too cool.
STRETCH GOALS
Fancy Dice. We've all got plenty of dice, but do we have enough fAnCy dice? (Included for free in the Boxed Set)
Cloth Map. Who doesn't love a cloth map? Art TBD, likely of the adventure area for the starting adventure. (Included for free in the Boxed Set)
BIG Legendary Monster Cards. Full are on one side to show (and intimidate) your players. Easy to read statblock on the back for convenience. Tarot Sized. (Included for free in the Boxed Set)
More Subclasses. Let me know what you're most excited about. Spellblade? (Included for free with all tiers).
Metal Action Trackers. Honestly, you don't need these, you can use dice or just your memory, 3 isn't that hard to count to. But having a hefty metal physical thing to interact with... mmm something about that... (Included for free in the Boxed Set)
Holofoil Cards. Shiny. Need I say any more? (Included for free in the Boxed Set)
Bigger Adventure. Up to level 4? Level 5? A sandbox style choose your own adventure? (Included for free with all tiers).
