Project Update: Let's Ride This Demon Whale To Greatness!
"And for this I thank God; for all have doubts;
many deny; but doubts or denials,
few along with them, have intuitions."
If you backed, shared, supported, or otherwise gawked at Hellwhalers: Book of Leviathan we appreciate you. If you are reading this email and missed your chance to back, the pledge manager will be up for a week or so.
Things are already on their way to the printer and we should have the Book of Leviathan shipping the week of GenCon and available for pick up at the event or in Philly or shipping across the globe.
After a week or so of downtime you should hear the rest of the details from us and we will get digitals out ASAP.

Project Update: AMBERGRANT SUBMISSIONS ARE OPEN! & Let's print this Leviathan!
"It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation."
The AMBERGRANT is $666+ dollars of funding set up for the community to be able to create expansions, actual plays, playbooks, reflections, microfiction, or other works connected to or inspired by Hellwhalers.
If you have an idea you can now submit it at TTRPG.link/AMBERGRANT.
We can't wait to see what you come up with!
"I promise nothing complete; because any human thing supposed to be complete, must for that very reason infallibly be faulty."
We are printing plenty of extra, but we want to be able to deliver BoL as soon as possible and allow for sales and pick up at GenCon.
It's such a thrill to be in a position where we can get the game to you as rapidly as possible.
"Ignorance is the parent of fear."
Jess the Human is saying some nice things over on YouTube with an exclusive flip through of the book!
Also Sam Leigh aka Goblin Mixtape did a great walkthrough of the core book over on TikTok!
If you haven't backed yet we still have about 5 days to go and 2 more big stretch goals to unlock, but our team is thrilled with the support so far!
Playfully Yours,
Tony From Plus One
Hello, I backed at the digital level (for now) just to join the discussion. Since I don't have the original Hellwhalers book, I am looking at "The Complete HELLWHALERS Pledge" for $55, so I can get both book and expansion. However, I mostly play online, and I would like to have the Hellwhalers PDF, too - but I don't see it among the included options in the pledge. I also don't see it among the add-ons and there is no digital option for both expansion and Hellwhalers book. Could you confirm that it will be included? I am not interested in the extra materials, since I don't have much space and again, I mostly play online. Thank you for your reply, I am happy to support the project but I need the digital option too. :) Camilla
Hello there, I am new to Hellwhalers and am trying to decide whether to back to $55 Complete tier or the $80 Deluxe tier. Backing the $55 Complete tier and adding the $20 sic bo board (which I would want) comes to $75, so for me it comes down to: what is the purpose of the 50 seaglass tokens (which I assume account for the additional $5 of the Deluxe tier)? Do they serve a functional purpose for the sic bo board or for Hellwhalers more generally? I appreciate it!
Project Update: The Book of Leviathan is funded! IT'S TIME TO REAVE THE DEPTHS (and maybe... Defy the Gods?)
It's been a crazy couple of days, but on behalf of myself and the Plus One team and the creators of HELLWHALERS, Brewist Games, thank you to all of you who have already backed HELLWHALERS: Book of Leviathan.
The core HELLWHALERS game has been one of our best selling titles at conventions for the last 18 months. Anyone who picks up a copy is typically sold on the premise within 15 seconds. It's a captivating theme, beautiful design & dynamic play state just hits.
Book of Leviathan is doubling down on what makes HELLWHALERS great.
It's almost done, and we will send it to print as soon as the final art pieces are in our possession.
HELLWHALERS funded fast! Keep an eye out for cool updates.
If you haven't backed yet we have plenty of campaign in front of us, including some amazing community content goals that I chat about more HERE. Even if you can't afford to back, sharing this post is a great way to spread the word!
Speaking of spreading the word, there is another game we would love your help funding. It's not one of our publications, but Defy the Gods is a beautiful game by Chrys Sellers that's funding over on Kickstarter right now.
Chrys is a dynamic queer creator who we have become close friends with over the last few years. Defy the Gods is one of the best Powered by the Apocalypse games I have read in the last few years.
We had a tremendous time playing it on stream last month, and transparently, we are helping with fulfillment, but even if we were not, we would be shouting out the epic sword and sorcery game.
Check it out at TTRPG.link/DefyTheGods or watch the video below!
