Today, we wanted to share a few things with you and ask you a question (in the linked poll).

First, we wanted to announce that we’ve created a channel in our Discord server for your Indominant homebrew to be shared and discussed! We’ve already had one community member create their very own homebrew Powerset: Time Manipulation! They have already gone and created everything up to Level 5, meaning they have an Inherent Effect, Base to Tier 3 Powers, and Tier 1-2 Talents for all 5 Archetypes!!!!! We are blown away at this idea and would love for people to see it and give them some love. Join our Discord server to check out the homebrew and even share your own!

Now for another exciting bit of news… we want to run a community event with everyone, and better yet, we want your ideas for what the community event should be! This is taking the place of our Community Event Stream reward for when we hit the 250 Backers Achievement! We are updating that Achievement to reflect this change of plans.

But what will that community event be? Well, we want your input! We’ve linked a poll to this update that has 3 options:

This is a challenge that we previously ran when our community was a lot smaller, and we had to put it on hold until we grew our active community (which this Backerkit campaign has done!). The idea behind this challenge is that participants submit a story and build for a character concept of their own making, and once submissions close, we will create a series of knock-out votes to determine a winner, with 2nd and 3rd place rewards too! 

What does the winner get? Well, if we fully fund, the winner will get a full body, full-color image of their character concept drawn by Milton Aguiar, paid for by our team here at Odin’s Key Gaming!

For this one, it is quite simple. Participants would create a team of 2-3 players (we haven’t decided team size yet) and compete in combat against other teams. We would set up brackets and stream the combats, with the final Team getting a reward (reward is TBD).

For this option on the vote, you would need to comment what your alternate idea is, and if any of these ideas gets more upvotes than option 1 or 2, we would go with this option.

Wow, what a first day! The first 24 hours are nearing completion and we are over 63% funded! As a small team with a relatively small following we are so excited at the response we’ve had! Make sure to check out the below updates too, you won’t want to miss them.

We can’t thank all of you, our supporters, enough! Thank you to everyone that pledged, and those of you that are checking out the Primer and joining our Discord server!

Just before, and during our launch we have been working on a small update to the Game System Primer 2.0.

The only rules/mechanical change is that instead of having to choose 2 of the 4 available Base Power options, every character now automatically gets all 4 Base Powers for their Powerset! We made this change because selecting Base Powers could be quite a difficult decision at times, and we don’t think the pros of that choice being meaningful outweigh the cons of it being a choice that doesn’t feel like it has a “right answer”.

Other than that there was just some small wording clean-up and clarifications to some areas that got questioned somewhat regularly.

So that means we’ve included the updated Primer below (all you need to do to download it is follow our Backerkit page, subscribe to our Newsletter, or join our Discord server here)! This also comes with a new character sheet (coming soon) to give you the space you need to add those 2 extra Base Powers to your sheet!

Yes, that’s right, as of the time we send out this update, we’ve also decided to open up the Architect Pledge Level to 1 additional Backer! That means one more person will get to work with us to create their very own Powerset concept, to be added in our first expansion book!

Wow, we've hit $20,000 funds raised thanks to every ones' kindness and efforts spreading the word about Indominant! This means we've unlocked The Socialite Calling! This is the Calling for you if you want to make a character that uses their powers to become famous celebrity, public figure, or other similar goals that require being well known amongst society.

There have been so many people telling us about how they are running games or planning to run games with friends, at local stores, in TTRPG Discord servers, and even at conventions and other local events! It really makes us so happy to hear about people sharing the fun experience of playing TTRPGs with others, using Indominant!!

We only have a few days left, and 2 more Stretch Goals left to unlock too! Those are the New Species Type: The Symbiotic once we hit 350 Backers, and the Indominant Soundtrack at $25,000!!

Don't forget to join us on our last livestream of the campaign on May 8th, at 7:30 PM Pacific Time! We are going to be celebrating, having fun, answering question, and discussing the Stretch Goals that we unlocked!

Since we hit 300 Backers, we've revealed our next Backer-total Stretch Goal. This one will unlock a brand new Species Type: The Symbiotics, and the first Species within that type, the Thron!

A Symbiotic Species is a species that is made up of 2 life-forms bonded in a single body or mind, where they both require the other to live. Symbiotic Species tend to be very resilient to illnesses, and recover from severe injuries quickly, as the symbiote inside the host can focus on bodily repairs and strengthening the host’s immune system.

We've gotten Milton to create some concept art so you can get a glimpse at what the Thron look like, and learn more about their lore!

You must be a Follower of this campaign to see the art and lore below.
