Thank you!

We did it! Thanks to all of you who helped make this dream a reality! It has been a great ride to see so many of you backing us and we want to let you know how grateful we are for your support. We are so close to our stretch goal of $1500, we are sure we will get there through the Backerkit store. Look for the email with the update for the store opening which will mean the surveys are also going out. 

Until then, see you in Ambaran!

Stretch goal unlocked!

Thank you all so much!

 We have reached the stretch goal of $1200! You can add now the hardcover dual adventure of both Whispers of Starfall and Secrets of Starfall by adding $40 to your pledge. We also unlocked additional sticker options! The cover art for Secrets of Starfall will now be added to all pledge levels for free! 

We will not be adding another pledge level for this limited edition hardcover but we now need a new stretch goal to achieve!

New Stretch Goal

$1500- Limited Edition Hardcover Art + 2 sticker options

If we can reach the $1500 stretch goal, we will make the hardcover book show off a limited edition cover art! It will be made only for this Kickstarter campaign so if we reach it, it will NOT be available for purchase ever again! The stickers that will be added are the Elenhodel and Xrystis NPC stickers. Let's strive to make these last couple days the ones to push us into that stretch goal!

This hardcover dual adventure is an amazing achievement and one I personally wanted to see happen.

Thank you all for your support!

Hi all! First of all, we want to say a huge THANK YOU to all of you. We are at $1100 and our stretch goal of the double adventure book is in sight! Just so you all know, if we do hit that stretch goal after the campaign ends, the double adventure hardcover book will be offered in the Backerkit store once the pledge manager goes live. You can add it to any pledge level for $40.

We now have all bags we are offering in hand as prototypes! The square bag can function in almost any way from being a purse to a day bag. It will be semi-customizable. What does that mean? It means the wording on the demo bag can be removed or modified to say VERY simple words. The square bag dimensions are 11.5"H x 11.5"W x 2"D.

The dice bags can easily hold 10+ sets of dice. It stands on a circle base and with a single set inside it stays upright, keeping its own balance so dice don't go rolling around everywhere! The logo can be removed or left on as you desire. 

You can add to your pledges now and you can also add them in the Backerkit pledge manager when the campaign ends. Here are a few pictures of the bags to show you just how spacious they are!

Thank you everyone for your support!

Stretch Goal update!
over 4 years ago – Fri, Dec 20, 2019 at 09:45:34 AM

Hi everyone!

We just wanted to drop you a note saying how grateful we are for your support. Bringing this adventure to life is another dream achieved and we couldn't be happier. We wanted to do something to reward you and, after talks with our distributor, we have reached a better price point for our Hardcover stretch goal. So, we are UNLOCKING it and making a new category for you to upgrade your pledge to the Hardcover option!

Hardcover copies of Secrets of Starfall can be added to your pledge level for $30 or by selecting the new pledge level. If you want the PDF as well, a $35 bundle pledge level is also being added. 

Let's keep going and see if we can reach the "new" stretch goal option of a double adventure module book that has been reduced from $2000 to $1200!

Thanks to all of you!
