Again, thanks to all our amazing backers who have come out to support the Horde is startling fashion! We’ve knocked off two more stretch goals: Sandbox Notes for the regions around the Orb, and the Bestiary! Now onto tech loot and another mini-adventure, The Rift that Breaths!
Mini Adventure Update Speaking of mini-adventures, we made a mistake with the free mini-adventure available to those who back within the first 48 hours. The original plan was to add Caves of the Orb Thralls as a $2 add-on after the first 48 hours had passed.. but we accidentally set the date incorrectly so the add-on was available from the very beginning. Unfortunately , once someone adds that add-on (and 25 of you did), we can’t delete it.
So the updated plan is we’re now creating another mini-adventure called Death Sentries of the Orb Shadow, which is now the free mini-adventure offered to all you wonderful backers who have backed the campaign in the first 48 hours. It will become available as an add-on after the free period passes. This also means that Caves of the Orb Thralls will remain up as an add-on that all who are interested can add to their pledge. Sorry for the confusion: and thanks for your incredible support!
I'd obviously hoped to have the PDF in your hands at this point, but working through my health issues remains a stubborn thing. Things are progressing, albeit slowly, and hopefully the next update will at last include your download codes. :)
As always, if anyone understandably feels the wait has gone on for too long, just shoot me an email at [email protected] with your PayPal email/username, and I'll happily refund your pledge.
I hope you remain excited for the adventure: here is another batch of images. :)
Hey all. I apologize for the quiet on our end. Our schedule has been slowed down again because of my worsening health: my ability to type and code, and of late, even manage stuff effectively has sadly stretched out our process.
We’re finishing up the writing and layout, and the PDF should be ready within the month, with the print codes following about 6-8 weeks later. If you no longer wish to wait, I’m happy to provide refunds: just contact me at [email protected] and we’ll get that setup.
I’m pretty bummed by things: Ben is a fantastic writer with lots of great ideas in the pipeline, but is saddled with a Dad/Publisher whose body (after 13 years doing this!) is breaking down. Coding the free tools has always been a tremendous joy, but I’m running into roadblocks there as well. Sadly, this may be our last project for the foreseeable future unless there is some significant/magical change medically. I had hoped to spread our work around, but process-wise it has proven that there are certain things I have to do for something to be a Purple Sorcerer project, and I’m proving to be the weak link.
Again, apologies. Thanks for everyone’s tremendous support, it has always been very much appreciated.

Thanks to ALL of our amazing backers! We came very close to reaching our final stretch goal of the new Patron/Local Deity… and Ben and I have decided that close works in BackerKit as well as in horseshoes and hand grenades! So we will be adding the final stretch goal for everyone to enjoy!
Now the works begin. We’ll be posting regular updates as content is completed. We’re most excited to see Matt’s amazing illustrations. In line with the other Purple Planet Horde campaigns, the completion date for the adventure and all the stretch goals is the end of the summer. It should be an incredibly exciting time for those who backed more than one project!
Again, thanks to everyone for your incredible support!
The second to last stretch goal has fallen! We’ll soon be crossing over into the final 24 hours… can we reach the final stretch goal to add a Patron/Local Deity?
Thanks to everyone for your tremendous support: we are so excited about this project, and it is your support that makes it possible!
