Project Update: The Finish Line!

Hello everyone!

I'm back from Dokomi, just in time to announce that we achieved over 8.000 EUR funding! What does that mean? In addditional to all your other rewards, every pledge gets an additional adventure for free!

We're approaching the end of our campaign, and while we might not reach the 12.000 EUR funding goal, I want to reassure everyone that we will be working on VTT integration - it might just take a moment. As of now, our priorities are to finish the book itself and get it to print. Then, we will publish the first adventures - A Monster By Any Other Name, Almost Dragons, and the yet unnamed Muskets & Magic module unlocked by you. Finally, I will translate the core rules and adventures to german, while working on boxed sets of the adventures with miniatures and all the game supplies you need to start playing.

I'm excited for the finish line, and everything that comes after!

Thank you all!

Project Update: Conventions and Collectors Editions!

Hello everyone,

Things will quiet down over the next few days, as I'm visiting Dokomi in Düsseldorf, Germany! If you want to catch me at a convention in the next months, I will have a booth at Shiroco (in Chemnitz, July 12th to 13th), SPIEL (in Essen, October 23th to 26th), and possibly Dreieichcon (in Dreieich, November 15th to 16th). I'm hoping to visit conventions in the US next year!

I also wanted to take a moment to talk about the Collectors Edition pledge level. Apart from the other goodies, what is the ominous slipcase you get?


The slipcase will not be available for retail, and is exclusive to crowdfunding and future promotions. It's a booksleeve that not only protects the Setting Off! core rules and has additional space for dice, but is going to look incredible - because we've picked the artist who will be working on it: Ver @verface! We want to choose the design with our Collectors Edition backers, so stay tuned for previews and polls on Backerkit and Discord!

I'm extremely excited to see this alternative edition of the core rules come to live!

See you soon,

Project Update: Poll results!

Hello, Tim here!

We're at the halfway mark!

With the adventure poll concluded, I can announce that the next adventure module for Setting Off! will be Muskets and Magic! I'm torn between an adventure about a magical malfunction at the weapons factory or a high seas tresure race, but let me know your thoughts!

For those who voted for another genre: fear not! I will eventually write an adventure for every genre, and I'll keep those in mind that got votes.

Apart from releasing adventures as booklets and PDFs, I'm also planning to create adventure boxes! They include everything necessary to play, such as maps, minis and more!

Project Update: Leaping towards our first Stretch Goal!

Hello everyone!

We're a bit over one week into our Backerkit campaign and we're getting close to unlocking our first stretch goal - an additional adventure PDF for every Digital Edition pledge and above! So far, the following adventures exist:

- The Endless Corridors of Gun Dòchas: a fantasy horror adventure available in the core rules.
- A Monster By Any Other Name: a fantasy adventure available for free.
- Almost Dragons: a scifi adventure available for free to our VIP backers.

I want to make sure the adventure unlocked with the stretch goal is something exciting, so help me decide what it's going to be in the new poll!

What can you do to help us reach our stretch goals?

Interact with the Backerkit community! By liking and commenting the updates and discussions, the project's reach increases! As a first time creator, building hype around a project is difficult, so sharing the project with your friends and communities helps it grow - which in turn allows me to create more content!

Thank you so much for your support - make sure to check out the adventure poll and the other stretch goals, including a fanart goal to unlock an artbook!
