Ahoy Spacefarers!

What a month it’s been, from start to finish perhaps the greatest we’ve yet to experience here at the Dragons Vault, and that is all thanks to you. So thank you, to all who followed and backed, who commented and voted in the polls, who shared our project far and wide, who cheered us on as we charted these seas together, we say thank you!

We have the best job in the world, truly, and because of your support for us and for Lodestar we get to keep doing it for another incredible year (and Aston can finally come aboard full-time!!). We can’t wait to begin work, and take you along with us as we discover the seas of the Beyond together. Speaking of, I wanted to point those who might’ve missed it towards the finale of our Choose Your Own Adventure posts, in which the final fate of the Dawnstar is revealed, as is the contents of the final treasure!

Now the campaign has wrapped up you can expect updates from us every other Monday. These updates will keep you in the loop with the books production, show off new art and mechanics, and even invite you to playtest early access rules and mechanics from the book and then discuss them via our community discord (more on that below).

We will have more information for you next Monday, including a breakdown of our production timeline and pledge manager info etc., but until then Aston and myself will be taking a week off work. We’ve been working incredibly hard over the past few months as you can imagine, so we are going to take some time with our loved ones and to get our heads ready for the epic voyage ahead of us as we bring this book to life!

This is your official post-campaign invitation to come hang out in the Dragons Vault Discord! We’ve got a nearly 1000 strong community there already, full of people talking everything from community made Lodestar soundtracks to our own Vault Gauntlet monster creation competition! We also post our playtest materials in there, as well as workshop mechanics and ideas with the community long before they ever make it to print. If that sounds like your bag, then come join us there now via this LINK.

Until we return we trust you’ll keep an eye on this here vessel, we’ll need it in good nick when we get back if it’s going to take us all the way to the end of this exciting voyage we’ve all embarked on! So till then, thank you all, and have a wonderful week!

- Conor, Very Grateful Captain of the HMS Dragons Vault
