Updates

We had a big weekend.

Here’s everything we’ve unlocked:

We’re now less than $1,000 away from $550K, where we’ll unlock:

We’ve been paying close attention to your feedback on stretch goals - and this latest round reflects that.

We’ve shifted toward bonuses that benefit all backers, and we’ll keep that approach in mind as we move forward.

We really appreciate everyone who’s pledged so far and helped shape the campaign.

We also know a lot of you are looking for more detailed, mechanics-focused updates.

Those are coming.

We’ve been collecting your questions and are building out a 12-update plan focused on delivering the most useful, in-depth content we can between now and the end of the campaign.

If there’s something specific you want to see, leave a comment here! We want to make sure we don’t miss anything.

You made your call.

In our last Choose Your Jump, the crew voted to check the cargo.

We’ll be opening it up in the next update - so keep an eye out to see what’s actually inside.

More soon!

We’ve unlocked our $475K stretch goal! Thank you!

That means Special Edition page gilding is now included.

We’re also less than $3,000 away from $500K.

At $500K, we’ll unlock the Gear & Robots VTT Compendium, expanding the Roll20 support even further for those using the VTT module.

Alien Lifeforms
We wanted to take a moment to show off a couple of the alien creatures you’ll encounter - first up is the Exopilosan!

And we also wanted to show off the Carrion Kite.

These are just a small sample of the creatures included across the campaign content.

Choose Your Jump - Entry 002
One Jump. Three Surprises. You take the patron’s job. The crates arrive just before departure with no markings and no paperwork. Just weight, seals, and a tight-lipped cargo handlers who quickly leave once they're done loading.

The patron’s payment is split: half now, half on delivery. The first installment is enough to ease the financial pressure of the ship’s mortgage, and from the patron’s point of view, it got you to stop asking questions. You clear the starport with no export or inspection hassles; that's the first surprise.

In no time you maneuver to a safe jump point and engage the drive. It’s still making that unnerving noise, so the engineering logs it … again.

Then comes the second surprise. Halfway through the jump, internal sensors show that the cargo hold is warmer than it should be. Not by much, just enough to ping the sensor. You drop out of jump on schedule and on point, so no misjump, at least not this time.

The destination has a C starport, which, when you arrive, will be busy enough to blend in and quiet enough that people mind their own business. That's when you get this message from an incoming security pinnace: "Do not dock. Hold position. Await further instructions." 

And the third surprise: one of the crates shifts. The bay cameras picked it up, and you watch it over and over again, just to be sure. No impact, no turbulence, but the crate definitely moved. You've got a decision to make:

We’ve crossed $425K! 🎉

That means a new dice set is being added to the Mystery Bag - and you get to choose which one.

We’ve included a poll with this update.
Go cast your vote and decide what makes it in.

At $425K, we unlocked another CivX content expansion: Mission 3, adding even more to the growing setting.

At $450K, we’ll unlock:

We’ve had a few questions about the CivX Primer, so here’s a quick overview.

The CivX Primer is one large PDF included across all tiers. As we unlock new stretch goals, additional missions are added to it - building out a shared setting as the campaign grows.

Civ X Primer
Millennia ago, slower-than-light vessels carried human colonists to distant worlds. Descendents of the oldest colony prospered, mastered the jump drive, and settled dozens of nearby systems. Now this thriving civilization wants to learn the fates of the other colonies spawned by that ancient effort.

Mission One: Beyond the Trailing Gap
A dangerous, deep-space stunt could blaze a trail to an unexplored region of space.
Mission Two: Hot Rocks, Cold Rocks
A survey team is about to close the file on an unremarkable star system when they discover a surprising opportunity.
Mission Three: An Anchor in Deep Time
A puzzling anomaly seems almost too tempting to ignore, but diverting to investigate could leave the travellers stranded forever. 

Our next update will contain the next part of the Choose Your Jump adventure - stay tuned and don't forget to vote for the mystery dice sets!

We had another incredible campaign day yesterday, and thanks to you more stretch goals have been unlocked! Here's where we're at:

The Blank Subsector Map Notebook is designed for table use, with perforated pages so you can easily tear them out and build, share, or track your own systems as you go.

At $375K, we’ll unlock:

At $400K a new dice set option will be added to the Mystery Bags - and our backers will vote on which set will be added!

We got here a lot quicker than we thought, so our team is currently cooking up more stretch-goal ideas! What would you like to see in the campaign?

We had an incredible first day - beyond our expectations.
