We launched Ways and Means yesterday, funded within 34 minutes, and smashed through the first three stretch goals before we'd even gone to bed. Hell, at the time of writing, we're sitting a scant couple grand short of hitting our £100,000 stretch goal in under 24 hours. Silly business.
Needless to say, the launch has beaten all our expectations and I just want to take a moment to say thank you to all you wonderful backers for showing up in droves like the hungry horde of delvers you are.
With that said, let's look at what's new.
New Add-Ons!
Due to popular demand we've added two new add-ons to the campaign.
A stand alone PDF version of the Delve Deck, for use in VTTs or print-at-home.
A limited number of the Dagger in the Heart Bookmarks packs (There's only 100 packs, so get 'em before they're gone!)
We hadn't intended on selling the bookmark packs, but so many folk have lamented missing out on them during the Dagger campaign we figured why not. (Plus it's a good way to clear out some of the spares we ended up with after fulfilling everyone's orders.) There's only a limited number of them though, and once they're gone they're gone! So get them while they're hot.
Stretch Goals Unlocked!
We've blasted through a bunch of stretch goals in a short time, let's take a look at that pretty pretty graphic to see our progress: As you can see we've unlocked:
£40,000: Four additional pages of gear for the Ways and Means! Giving you literally more bang for your buck (cause I want to channel my inner Ptolemy Bay and create more impossible guns).
£55,000: A whole new calling for Ways and Means written by Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan - the author of Dagger in the Heart!
£75,000: Four additional pages of weirdos to the hirelings chapter of Ways and Means! (Might be people, might be animals, we'll see what the Heart conjures up once we get to writing.)
Our next stretch goal on the horizon is a big one!
£100,000: A whole new class for Ways and Means, also penned by Gareth! As I type we're tantalizingly close to unlocking this, and we cant wait to see what Gareth comes up with.
Developer Blogs
If you haven't already, and want to sink your teeth into some juicy behind-the-scenes developer insight, our dev blog series is still ongoing. You can read about two of the new classes already (the Witness and the Blightborn) and expect the Crawler dev blog to go live some time tomorrow.
Launch Stream Catchup
If you missed out on our launch stream yesterday and want to catch up, we've uploaded the VOD over on youtube. Take a look if you want to watch Grant and Elaine (that's me!) gibber away about the campaign. Including some behind the scenes chat, Grant speculating about a Heart skirmish game based around trains, and Elaine lamenting how difficult it is to get a specific Pokemon plushie. Riveting stuff!
The campaign is shaping up to be a great one, so keep an eye out for more updates soon.
