Greetings from the Dens!

First a hearty Thank You to everyone who supported this Kickstarter; backing it, posting about it, joining us at the end for some fun and chat!  This would not have been possible without you, so again, we really really appreciate it!

Surveys

We use Backer Kit for our surveys, and we have to do a little housekeeping first to get it ready to send out, get weights and make sure all the items are in there, from pledge levels to add-ons, etc.  You will be able to add on more stuff if you want, up your pledge level and make all the necessary changes in Backer Kit.  My guess is that with the holiday, the survey won't be ready until early next week. Once you do get it, you will have two weeks to fill it out, make changes, pay for shipping.  If you added money for add ons during the Kickstarter, you will just go in and choose those with the additional money from your pledge. 

Important Info

The survey is the most important thing, as it will help us know how many of each thing we need to produce if we do not have it in hand.  However, I wanted to give you the best contact for us for this kickstarter.  Please do not use the message system in Kickstarter to contact us.  It bogs down, delays, and gets lost a lot of the time.  If you want/need to contact us, you can do it directly at: [email protected] This goes directly into Tim's inbox who is very anal about checking his mail and will get back to you much faster than using Kickstarter messages. 

3 Days in Darkenfold

As many of you know, we reached a lot of our goals, but not all of them.  We missed C6 and C7 in particular.  We really want to get these done, so we started talking to some folks over in the comment section about doing a short, fast and furious Kickstarter for these.  So we came up with the idea of doing 3 Days in Darkenfold, a 3 day Kickstarter for these.  It will be something unique and we don't think it's been done before in the game industry (though we could be wrong).  Basically we will treat it like a telethon.  We are thinking of putting twitch tv and facebook live into play during the hours we are workin or around.  That way people can talk to us, get direct and quick answers, etc.  Could be a lot of fun!  It's still in the preliminary stages, but we are thinking about Dec. 5 - 7 for tentative dates for this.  Care to weigh in?  We'd love to get your thoughts and ideas on this.  Go over to the comment section in this Kickstarter and let us know what you think!

I will post this same message over in messages, so you should get an email about it too, just want to make sure everyone gets the word about the surveys, so my apologies for the multiple emails.

Thanks again!

Greetings from the Dens!

Just a quick note to let everyone know that we have added the digital/pdf versions of our books to the Adventurers Backpack Kickstarter page. You can scoop up adventures for as low as $2 and the core books for only a little more.

These PDF items will ship to you shortly after the kickstarter closes so you can begin playing in some of the wild worlds we've already published immediately.

Please share this post and spread the word!

Castles & Crusades Adventurers Backpack Update

Greetings from the Dens!

You have kicked open the secret door and unveiled the treasure within on the Adventurers Backpack Kickstarter. Hopefully it is only the beginning of what is coming!

To that end we have updated the Stretch Reward Map to include the next several rewards. You'll find more equipment cards, free books and if all turns out well, C6 Ends Meet and perhaps C7 Castle on the Hill...all your hard work in the Darkenfold comes to fruition as you confront the Green Wizard at last.

Here's a bit of a teaser from C6 Ends Meet:

Funded! Full Color! What's next? We need your help!

Greetings from the Dens!

I'm happy to report we made our goal of 11K and this will be printed.  What's more, this morning we surpassed our first stretch goal of 15K and the book will be printed in full color!  This brings it in line with our other major works, the Players Handbooks, Castle Keepers Guide, Monsters & Treasure among others.  A huge thank you to all who have help us get this far!

Up next are two more goals, and expansion of the Equipment Cards and the Pole Arms Appendix.  Nine more Equipment Cards including those for terrain and weather is at 17K and the Appendix, one of Troll Lord's favorites, at 19K. 

We need your help to make this happen!

In order to expand the cards and the appendix (and hopefully a host of other cool goals), we need to get even more people involved.  This is our call to arms!  Please help us out by sharing this url:  http://bit.ly/ccapb and encouraging people to join the fray.  The more people the better the book and the better the goals.  You are our hardcore fans and we need your passion to help carry this higher!

Trollzah!

What a first day!

We've come a long way in roughly 12 hours!  Only a little more needed to get to our funding goal and this is still the soft opening.  We are very excited to show and talk more about this addition to the game in the coming days: Adventurers Book, Equipment Cards, Backpack and much more. 

So stay tuned and be sure to join us in the comment section for any questions, comments, or just to hang out!

More coming soon, but we just wanted to say a huge thank you and Trollzah!  Let's build this thing even higher as we have some really really really (I mean really) cool stretch rewards we want to unveil...
