I am happy to say that the StoryGuider campaign closed last night after hitting the $4k mark and unlocking our first stretch goal!
Now, work begins on art, layout, etc, and I'll have regular updates once enough progress has been made. You can check out the full campaign timeline here in today's TTRPGkids Dev Log, if you want all the details and next steps, but otherwise, I will be doing a 1/month update starting mid-November and going through to fulfillment.
As the campaign closed, so did one of our polls! And the winner was... filling in missing words! So, book 1 in the Tome Traveller trilogy will have some fun ad-lib style challenges to complete!
The next poll is live (and can be found at the bottom of this page), and is about what social-emotional learning skill we want to focus on in book 2.
In this campaign wrap, I want to give a special round of shoutouts to some fellow creators, organizations, and individuals who really helped spread the word on the campaign. These folks used their websites, newsletters, and social media channels to reach out, often times unprompted, just because they believed in the project or what TTRPGkids was doing.
Pictured here are: Grafbound Press, Shadomain, The Wanderer's Tome, Almost Bedtime Theater, The Kid's Table D&D, ALA's Games & Gaming Round Table, Cezar Capacle, Exuent Press/Skeleton Code Machine, and Jaclyn Lewis/Young Dragon Slayers
Lastly... with the closing of this project, I'm announcing my next one! Kicking off in February, I'll be running a campaign for an all-ages friendly rules-lite mystery solving TTRPG!
As always, thank you for supporting the project, and I'm now looking forward to getting some books on your screens and in your hands! Until the next update... Happy gaming (and Happy Halloween)!
