Greetings Adventurers,

Magic Item Generators Double In Size, PDF Previews, and Magic Item Community Competition #1
almost 2 years ago
– Thu, Nov 10, 2022 at 09:29:57 PM
Greetings Adventurers!
We've decided to double the size of the Magic Item Generators. They are going from 64-card decks to 128-card decks. The prices will stay the same here on Kickstarter so make sure your pledge has one or both while they're discounted!
As promised we have a couple PDFs for you in this update. Both are nowhere near their final versions, but they'll give you a good idea of the type of content to expect out of the book and the Magic Item Generator.
Foraging PDF Preview. Please follow the link below to download the PDF Preview. The final manuscript is still being edited, so don't worry about any typos you might find. The page numbers on the table of contents will give you an idea of roughly how big each section of the book is.
The Ultimate Guide to Foraging, Harvesting & Natural Discovery PDF Preview
Magic Item Community Competition #1. Let the competition begin! Download the PDF Preview below and start creating. Please submit your magic item (1 per person) in the comments section of this update. Not on the main campaign page. One or two paragraphs will suffice and we're looking for your interpretation of the results you get for Physical Properties, Magical Effect, Origin, and Current Location. Copying the text right from the PDF isn't acceptable, we want a description of the item in your words.
In one week we will pick our favorites and start a poll so that everyone can vote for which of those will go into the instructions of the final product. The current plan is to have these competitions once per week until we have enough examples for the instructions, so expect to see several of these competition updates. We look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Gloaming Wild Kickstarter Shout Out. Our friends Kimberly and Jarret at Quartermaster Games are about a week into their first Kickstarter campaign. They are really close to funding and could use our help to get them over that line! Please check out their project and share it with your friends!

Up, Up, And Awayyyy! Secret Stretch Goals, PDFs, and A Friendly Shout Out!
almost 2 years ago
– Thu, Nov 03, 2022 at 06:18:51 PM
Greetings Adventurers!
Funding thus far has been fantastic! We are rapidly approaching the $100,000 mark which is huge! Thank you for backing our project and sharing it in the tabletop community! Sites like Facebook Groups and Reddit are great places for new people to see it.
Secret Stretch Goal. Some of you are asking why we don't have any stretch goals on this campaign. The simple answer is there's not much within the scope of this project to stretch for. We always print on premium paper and card stock, we always load these products up with tons of great content and artwork, and we made sure to have the manuscripts for each product done before launch. However, we did have one idea. What if we doubled the size of the Magic Item Generators? Right now they are each 64 card decks in a two piece box (instead of a tuckbox), but we could expand them to 128 cards each. This would give you more diversity and up to 268 million possible combinations per deck. Let us know what you think in the comments section!
Foraging PDF Preview. We will have a preview PDF ready soon that you'll be able to play around with. We're just in the process of making it look pretty.
Magic Item Generator PDF Preview. This preview will also be ready soon and available in a future update. We'll be starting a little competition that everyone can participate in. The instructions for the Magic Item Generators will need some examples. Well, we thought it would be fun to have our backers create magic items using the generators and post them in the comments. We will pick our top 5 items from the comments and put them in a poll each week for everyone to vote on. The winning item will make it into the instructions with credits to the creator. Let us know what you think in the comments section!
Heroes & Hardships Shout Out. Our friend Jason at Earl of Fife Games is headed into his final hours on his first Kickstarter campaign. Please go show him some love and share his link around!

Thank you again for your pledges and helping us promote all of the campaigns we've been a part of over the years. We really couldn't do this without such a wonderful community supporting us!
