Woohoo! We Did It!

We did it! And even our monsters are celebrating!

We want to thank all of the great support we've gotten today! Without you guys, this won't be possible. As a thank you, all of you are going to get a dungeon. The Hive features some monsters that we have here in our book, and should be a fun adventure for your players. We'll be sending that out on Thursday to you!


And not only did we hit our goal... but we've also hit 100 backers!!!!!!!! So it's a double celebration!!!


But now, it's time to talk about stretch goals. We usually wait to announce these until after the first 24 hours, but since we funded so quickly, we figured we'd do it a little early. So, here they are, our first round of stretch goals. I'll talk a bit more about the first one in a moment, but want to add that this is just the first round. Once we start getting close to the end of this list, we'll start posting Round 2!

Our first stretch goal will be some additional "Monsters" added to the book. We put monsters in quotes, because while these can be enemies, they aren't truly monsters. Sometimes our players need to fight some actual people. However, we don't need to roll up a generic fighter, or mage every time. So, we have some soldiers here that we call the Queen's Army. These are common military types, like the City Guard, Heavy Infantry, Archers, Halberdiers and the like. They are soldiers you can use for the players to fight against or alongside. Not only can you use them as challenges, but you can use these to create some truly epic full army battles within your game. These are just your generic soldiers, the cannon fodder, the ones that won't be remembered in the history books. And they'll make a great edition to our Book of Monsters!


Anyway, we wanted to thank you one more time before we signed off! You guys are all awesome! And without you, this wouldn't be possible. I know I said that before, but it's worth saying again!


Thanks all! GAME ON!
