Today is the start of the second half of this campaign – there's 14 days remaining, and I just want to thank you all for your enthusiasm and support! I'm looking forward to seeing what we can do in the back half. We've got plenty planned still to announce, but on the advice of my cunning and wise producer I'm keeping quiet on that for now.
What I can announce is that we've passed £55,000! As well as being a great milestone of support – over twice what the original crowdfunder raised 5 years ago – we're applying Spot UV to the book's cover to make certain elements pop both color-wise and texture-wise.
An example of Spot UV from our printer, Livonia Print.
As a reminder, at £60,000, we're adding expanded Hideout rules to the book letting your crew fully grow and customize their own extradimensional pocket realm. Want to turn the hideout into a proper home, with all the amenities you need to live off grid? Want to open a doorway into the void and gaze into its darkness for strange insights? Want to give the hideout a mind, a personality, even a body that can leave this realm and help you in the mundane world? Then you should look forward to this expansion!
And at this point I'm also announcing our £65,000 stretch goal: holographic foiling for the cover! Let me tell you, here at RRD towers we've been going feral for foil ever since we saw what's possible once you go beyond the boring, passé gold or silver or red. So: imagine the cover, or more specifically the title region:
But instead of being standard, simple block colors it's one of these: To be clear, these aren't the final selection and we haven't made any decisions on the foil type – maybe we'll have a poll once we hit this goal – but I'm very excited to get to use this holofoil treatment on my book!
