Greetings backers. We wanted to send out a quick update to cover a couple of changes to certain pledge levels on the Backerkit campaign, and announce our plans for a livestream at the end of the campaign.

An eagle-eyed backer pointed out that our maths was a bit off on the ‘I Want Everything’ pledge tier, which meant that you could use some clever pledge/add-on combinations to get the same rewards as the ‘I Want Everything’ pledge for slightly cheaper. (We’d forgotten to add the Heart Sourcebook Bundle discount to the combined ‘I Want Everything’ Pledge, which resulted in the pledge being £12.50 more expensive than its component parts!)

Good news is, we’ve sorted this now by reducing the cost of the ‘I Want Everything’ pledge from £160, down to £147.50. If you’ve already backed at that pledge level, no need to worry as this should automatically reduce your pledge cost to match. Bad news is this will slightly set back our funding level by ~£1,500. Still we’d rather take a small step back than accidentally overcharge folk!

Sorry for any confusion! (Maths is hard.)

Turns out that, while digging around in the darkest corners of the storage room, Grant discovered a handful of extra Heartsblood copies. We’re as surprised as you are! The jury is still out on whether these extra copies are the result of simple misplacement, or a foreboding sign that they have been cursed with some kind of pulp-based mitosis. Regardless, rather than look a gift horse in the lipskin, we’ve decided to add the extra copies to the campaign instead.

As a result, there are now 5 additional Heartsblood pledges available for those who want a chance to snap up these one-of-a-kind versions of Heart: The City Beneath. (Remember to spay and neuter your books to prevent unwanted reproduction.)

We’ve been informed that Backerkit have added a funky new end of campaign ceremony known as Overtime. Essentially, once the end of the campaign is triggered at 4pm GMT on Friday the 29th of March it will only officially shut down after a full 10 minutes have passed without any new pledges.

At first we were horrified at the idea of extending the already stressful campaign ending into a fuzzy ever-expanding horizon, but like the masochists we are, we decided to channel this terror into entertainment for your twisted enjoyment.

To that end, we will be running a special Overtime stream at the end of the campaign! During which, Grant will host a game of Heart featuring the exploits of a doomed party of delvers desperately attempting to survive as reality itself crumbles around them. The stream will last as long as Overtime mode does (or we collapse from exhaustion, whichever comes first). 

The stream might last for all of 10 minutes, or hours! Who knows! Not us, that’s for sure.

Take care,
