Smashing Stretch Goals

Added 2019-05-05 13:01:00 +0000 UTC

Well, four days in and the compendium Kickstarter campaign has been a smashing success, far beyond my expectations.

We reached the funding goal in an hour
We smashed four additional milestones in the first day
At 1:30 am the first night, the 100-retweet milestone was hit as well

That means that a full six stretch goals have been unlocked:

The bonus ‘aftermath’ adventure
The regional campaign map
Appendix: History, origins of the Underworld, and Seree developments in magic
A bestiary of 90+ monsters featured in the adventures
OSR / B/X stats by Johnstone Metzger in a supplementary PDF

To top it off, on Friday, Kickstarter selected it as a Project We Love, sending more people to help me hit stretch goals.

Meanwhile, we’re playing out the dungeon assault scenario; backers are making comments to steer the battle, and I’m revealing the dungeon as the axewives of Grinvolt get further into the dungeon. When it’s all done, I’m writing up the aftermath as a new two-page adventure!

I'm having a lot of fun doing the battle reports as little mini-comics, it seemed a fun way to bring the space to life. One part isometric dungeon, one part Where's Waldo. With weapons. In the dark.
