New update (you’ll have to go to the actual update to use the embedded links I believe):
It’s the Final Week—Let’s Have Some Fun!
Today we entered the final week of this short Kickstarter campaign—it ends on Tuesday! We’re super happy to have crossed the $30,000 mark today, meaning we’re now more than three-quarters of the way to funded.
And you know what happens after we fund, right? We get to start thinking about stretch goals! More on that just below, but first:
Let’s Make Tomorrow Special
We’re going to do something fun tomorrow, and we’d love it if you took part. In celebration of our final week, we’re going to hold a one-day mini backer drive. We’ll have details tomorrow, but the upshot is: If we meet a modest, one-day goal for new backers, we’ll add a nice reward upgrade to the campaign. So tune in tomorrow for details.
An Interview with Rowan, 12-year-old Guide Extraordinaire
Drop by YouTube this evening at 7:00 PM EDT (4:00 PDT) to catch a live interview with Rowan, the 12-year-old Guide in our No Thank You, Evil! game that was played live last week. (If you didn’t catch it then, you can watch it on YouTube now.) He’s going to talk about what it’s like to be a NTYE Guide, how to make the most of the game, and the ins and outs of playing an adventurous tabletop game with kids. The interview will happen at this link.
Are You Going to Gen Con?
With over 70,000 gamers converging on Indianapolis at the beginning of August, Gen Con truly is the best four days in gaming. If you’re going to be one of those gamers, come join us for one of our official No Thank You, Evil! games. Or better yet, run one for us, and get free content, swag, and maybe even a free Gen Con badge! It’s fun and easy—you can find the details here.
Games for the Grownups
Our warehouse sale is almost over! No Thank You, Evil! is our family game, but we also make loads of great games for grownups and older kids—Numenera, The Strange, and the Cypher System—and they’re all on sale now. But hurry: The sale ends tomorrow!
Who Wants a Cloth Map?
OK, about that stretch goal.
If you look at that photo above of Rowan running his awesome No Thank You, Evil! adventure, you may have noticed something in the middle of the table. It’s a cloth map of Storia! Here’s another picture of it:
As our first stretch goal, we’d love to make this gorgeous, 20” x 32” cloth map for YOU! The cloth map, which won’t be available in retail stores, will be an add-on for $20. OR, you can get it free in all backer levels at the BASIC BOX AND BEE MAIL! and above.
So, if you’re backing at the $15 BEE MAIL! level, you’ll be able to add on the cloth map for $20, for a total of $35. OR, you can back at BASIC BOX AND BEE MAIL for just $20 more and get a copy of No Thank You, Evil! to keep or give away (plus any additional stretch goals that we hit for free). Help us fund and get to that first stretch goal by spreading the word!
So, stay tuned for tomorrow’s backer drive. And from there we’ll move on to an exciting final week for this campaign!
