Project Update: Art Book Stretch Goal – Now, What's Next?
What's next? Well to be honest, this campaign has totally outrun its expected course. Our last couple of stretches have been created on the fly, as we watch the numbers grow with slack-jawed amazement. Now we need a million-dollar stretch goal – or maybe two, one at $950K and one for a million. We want the addition(s) to be worthy and generous, but they have to stay in budget. This requires print buying, and indeed, frantic print buying is going on. In the meantime . . . we know that there isn't a new goal, but that doesn't mean there will not be one. It means we are banging our heads against the issue.Â
We are reading your comments about the things you’d like to see. Some of you people are insane. Keep it up!

They were definitely in the cards tp produce earlier so the issue is clearly the backlash you got I think the backlash could've come a lot from it being the second upgrade to the dice, keyword being upgrade you could just add the 25mm dice or upgrade them and add something else But a poll can't hurt, then you'll now whether people didn't want the dice or people didn't want a second upgrade. Worst thing that a vote can show is that you made a mistake and you would be praised if you corrected it if that is the case

This is my first big box. I was excited about the idea of having 25mm dice, but unfortunately, the stretch goal was replaced by blank cards. Honestly, I've never used them before, because I don't know what to write on them to match the game's mood. I hope the dice make a comeback in the campaign."
Project Update: Quick Update: Moving / Proofs Continue
A couple notes on the process:
1) I've tried to respond to as many emails as I can, but things are wild right now because of our move (Both I and our office are moving to a new place, landlord unexpectedly decided to sell our house/office! Yuck.). I'll be offline mostly the next 3 days as all the furniture moves/internet gets transferred/cat explores new apartment. We have looked through almost all the feedback sent.
2) A few folks have been offering large quantities of writing style advice. We appreciate the enthusiasm, but we are unlikely to change the way that the game is written to fit [insert grammar/style preference here]. Sometimes cards with similar effects are written slightly different from one another for space concerns, sometimes to add extra clarity, and sometimes because it we think it sounds better.Â
3) Some of the cards are indeed missing, they're being worked on now. Special Achievments, Decrees, Museums, and of course the reference cards will be put together for the next wave of proofing, which will include the rulebook.Â
4) A couple folks shared access outside the group I'd let in, which I am disappointed in, but it is what it is. Please don't!Â
I'll be back up and running hopefully Monday in our shiny new place, and will have a lot more time to do Games Stuff instead of Panicked Packing Everything Up Stuff. Happy Spring, everyone!Â
Also, let's get some conversation going here! What's your favorite genre of sci-fi? What do YOU want to do with 13p at your table? Mix it with Wasted Lands for science fantasy? Go Aliens with it and mix with Night Shift? Or just go pure sci-fi - cyberpunk, post-apocalypse, space opera, hard sci-fi, or something else?Â
Project Update: Quick May Update
Nothing major to share today, unfortunately. Too much going on over here, and I'm attempting to wrap up a bunch of editing and playtesting, so I want to focus on that. I'll have a lot more done in the next two weeks, so I anticipate having more juicy morsels to chew on for the June update.
It's good being back and being productive again, but man did some plates stop spinning while I was in bad spine shape. Totally my own fault — no one else dropped the ball here, so I'll keep picking up the pieces and getting things finished as soon as possible, but without sacrificing quality! Eye on the prize and all that, right?
I look forward to sharing a bigger update with you all in June!

What do I need to due in order to pledge twice? I would like a copy of the game for myself and a copy for a friend for a present.

If you add a pack of 6 25mm Dice as addon (at a discounted price), you will make everybody happy (those without them who can have them, those with them who can have the 19 mm new ones, those who will buy them later from W23) and help us reach 1 million.

I'm pretty sure that we Will reach the 900k for the John book SG, and also (as a Munchkin collector) that the content in the box is above the total of the content bought indepently, and as You stated before, SJG don't want to lose money with this campaign. With that being said, I believe that the Best 1M SG can be a small new Game Changer expansion set, such as bosses, dungeons, side quests, Munchkinomicon, Fairy Dust, etc. A small 15-30 card pack exclusive to backers. Something that add some depth to the Game, knowing that most of us backers, had played munchkin for some years now. I think it's the most "budget friendly" we can get, and a very much appreciated one.
