We're in our final days, and it's time for our final section of the draft manusript! As of this update, backers have access to the entire approved draft and can read the book before any pledges are processed or payments collected. If you're with us beyond this point, you know exactly what this project is you're backing and a key member of the supporters bringing this project to life!
Jadestorm finishes the crowdfunding campaign on September 17th at 2:00 PM Eastern Time.
Before we get to the manusript download link, I just wanted to quickly go over a few key pieces of info. We're in the Final Days countdown for this Crowdfunding campaign. There's still time to add a few more links in our chain, but we're definitely getting closer to the finish line. With that in mind, I want to remind everyone about our final days Update Schedule to make sure everyone has the information they need to support this project in the way that works best for them.
Whether you've just received your first jade fragment or an duellist battling mountains, these are some good topics to review in the upcoming days to make sure we all end up where we want to be.
(An aside, if you're a new backer, make sure you check out our Final Week Countdown / Resource Update. It has links to the manuscript previews, youtube videos, and other helpful information.)
Matthew also hosted an ASK ME ANYTHING video all about Jadestorm. Check it out for the answers to some questions about this game!
I want to highlight the Reward Tier and Add On Review post. Please review it prior to the conclusion of this campaign, as it outlines important information about your pledge selection, your rewards, and supporting this campaign that you should be aware of before we get to the end.
Tomorrow, we'll have a review of our Stretch Goal achievements, but here's a reminder of at our current target.
At $36,000 in Funding - JADESTORM NOVELLA II
JADESTORM NOVELLA II - In a world of epic tales, a second short story written to explore the world of Eos and the play experience will be will be added to the rewards list of all backers receiving the Jadestorm PDF as one of their rewards.
Shipping Costs will be Collected in the Pledge Manager
We’ll be charging for shipping in the Pledge Manager once the books are being printed and we can deal with the actual shipping charges rather than using our best-guesses this far out (see our current guesses on the front page).
Draft Manuscript Previews
Over the course of these 4 weeks, backers have received the entire current draft manuscript for Jadestorm. They've come out in chapters to help me seem interesting over the 28 days, but it's more about guiding the conversation and helping steer feedback for the developers.
Because they want your feedback! These manuscript previews are of the current draft manuscript – the document in its latest, approved form. This may not be the final form - it hasn't been edited yet, and there will be further rounds of development - but you can consider it about 75% finished, so keep that in mind.
In fact, you can help guide the team through the next stages of development by providing feedback on these manuscript previews! The Onyx Path team has set up a special Feedback Form just for campaign backers for this very purpose: <Jadestorm Feedback Form>
Remember, thanks to BackerKit sorcery, these download links are visible to Backers only - you must be logged in and reading this on the website to have access to the manuscript preview links. So, if you're reading this via e-mail, click that "Reply to this Update" or "Learn More" button on the bottom and I'll see you below the Jadestorm title logo.
