Rise, Champions!

Sometimes even us have to bring not-so-good news, so let's start with that. Unfortunately, due to some personal problems, we will not be able to send the BETA of the PDFs by April 7. The PDFs will arrive a couple of weeks later than anticipated, so during the second half of April

THE CHAMPION PREVIEW

We know so many of you were eager to read Twilight Sword, so to try and make it up to you we've prepared a very special surprise. RIGHT NOW we are sending you the FIRST CHAPTER of Twilight Sword which feature Champion Creation and all the Kins, Ways, and Feats. More than enough for you to start making your very own Champions! 

You will find the CHAMPION PREVIEW available as Digital Download directly on Backerkit. Should you have any problem, please reach us at [email protected] 

As previously announced, on April 1st we've started locking orders. Your cards will be charged starting from next week. As always, should have any issue please reach us at [email protected] 

We'll be away from the studio in the next days, but we will help you out as soon as we're back!

Thanks again for you support and patience. Sometimes minor accidents happen, but we'll continue doing our best to keep you updated and to deliver Twilight Sword right on time!

Rise, Champions!

Long time no see! We know you've been patiently waiting for Twilight Sword, and we've constantly working to ensure that this will be our most ambitious project to date. 
We can't tell you happy and proud we are of Twilight Sword, but soon enough you'll be able to see it for yourselves.

GOOD NEWS FIRST:

The good news is that we will deliver the BETA PDF of Twilight Sword AND the Starter Set on April 7th.
These BETA will be pretty advanced, with some maybe some typos left to find, and some artwork missing. But you can expect the full Twilight Sword experience, including an introductory mini-campaign ready to play.

Another good news is that we're already working at Lands of Radia, so it won't take too long before that book is completed as well.

Another good news is that we're starting to receiving samples from our factories, and everything looks GREAT. We're over the moon with the Twilight Dice and we'll soon show you some photos of everything.

Yet another good news is that we're perfectly on time, and we don't anticipate any major delay in the physical delivery of this project.

NOW ABOUT THE BAD NEWS...

Well, actually there's no bad news (gotcha! :D). Sit tight, and count the day until April 7th when you'll finally be able to claim the Twilight Sword!

LATE PLEDGES & PRE-ORDER STORE

Today we're also opening our Pre-Order Store
If someone has missed this campaign, now it's their last chance to pre-order all the books and exclusives!

----->> Please know that ONLY the items tagged as [Late Pledge] will feature all the physical Stretch Goals, as they did during the campaign

You can access the Pre-Order Store here

That's all for today!

In a couple of weeks we will make another update to share how the work is going, and to give you expected delivery dates for both digital and physical books

Until next time,

2LM

We reached 675k just minutes before the end of the campaign
Then, the campaign officially ended, and entered OVERTIME.

During OVERTIME we spent HOURS together. At first, live on YouTube, and after that on Discord

During OVERTIME, more than 1.300 backers hopped on a train that lasted 36 hours

During OVERTIME we reached a new height: €700.000

During OVERTIME we unlocked the impossible final Stretch Goal

And it was EPIC!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, not only for your outstanding support, but for the love and passion that you shared with us throughout the campaign, and especially in those intense final hours. That was truly a night to remember!

During the Live Stream, Daniela drew a couple of Kokkoros taking requests and inspiration from the chat. In case you missed the stream, here they are :D

Now it's time to rest, but this adventure has only just begun

After the holidays we will be back with a more comprehensive update with the opening of the Pledge Manager and the expected timeline for delivery... and possibly some new art to show. 

We are all sending you the biggest hug we possibly can!

Thanks, from all us mice

LAST CHANCE

The final battle for the fate of Radia begins NOW!

With just MINUTES to spare, you just managed to Unlock the HOPE TRACKER. But as the end is approaching, let us remind you that this campaign doesn't have to end like this...

OVERTIME MODE: ON

What's OVERTIME? Simple: At the end of the campaign, this campaign will NOT actually end.
It will continue to go on (legends say forever!) as long as the BACKER TRAIN stays on track. So every time someone back this project, the campaign will go on for another 10 minutes, until the train ultimately derails.
Hope you brought some pop-corns!

HOPE TRACKER

Hope is the most important resource, and it's the core theme of the game. By collecting Hope, Champions can weaken the Scourge, open the Fortress of Evil, and unlock new Feats and also different Ways.
We will add a free Hope Tracker dial (circa 8cm) to every Champion and Twilight Champion pledge levels.

Starting from now, the Hope Tracker is also available as a separate Add-On for everyone.

As Hope is shared by all Champions, 1 tracker is enough for the whole party.

IS THERE TIME FOR ANOTHER STRETCH GOAL?

We thought about it, and we decided that there's a chance to reach 700k, and unlock yet another Stretch Goal.
So we thought about the perfect way to end this campaign, and we felt that the best final stretch goal would be one for EVERYONE. Digital and physical alike, no matter the pledge level. After all, is thanks to each and everyone of you if we are here now!

PATRON
Unlocks at 700k
What are Patrons? Patrons are GM Characters who can intervene to help the Champions, to send them on Quests, or to offer advice.

If we reach 700k we will add this new Patron mechanic to the Core Rulebook, together with a list of pre-made Patrons, from old Kings to mysterious warriors. Furthermore, we will add additional Patrons inside Lands of Radia! 
If that's not enough, you will also be able to make your own Patron, and finally have your own Character (even if you are a forever GM!)

Pictured up here you can see Rokokkoro, the Great Kokkoro, one of the many Patrons that will be available. Art by Daniela Giubellini

Do you think we can manage to unlock this final Stretch Goal during OVERTIME?

We'll see!

SAVE THE DATE FOR THE FINAL LIVE STREAM

Before we leave, please know we will be LIVE SOON to watch together the final minutes of the campaign, and the beginning of the OVERTIME MODE! 

We'll also take the chance to introduce you to the Patrons, so don't miss it

See you there!
