Highlights
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.
We are reading your comments about the things you’d like to see. Some of you people are insane. Keep it up!
Project Update: A Short Update From Steve
Playmats were the #1 request. A 10 x 10 to fit in the box is too small to be useful. I think we could make it work at 10 x 20, but that would mean either (a) making it cardboard, or (b) bending a neoprene one into the Extra Goodies box and HOPING that it is not creased by the Colossal Die or the other goodies. I feel like that might be a faint hope.
A 10 x 20 mat, whatever it is made of, could include spaces for 5 "worn" items, a Cheated item, two Races, two Classes, three sideways Carried Items, and four unslotted Treasures, Spells, or whatever. Pic NOT attached because it exists only as a scrawl on my physical desk.
We could sell packs of 5 more as add-ons for those who want everybody to have it.
Some people are saying "No cardboard" and some are saying "Cardboard is fine."
Or, OTHER CARDS. There are lots of reprint possibilities here, while keeping to Kovalic illos. Adding cards with brand new illustrations would push back the delivery date, no ifs, ands, or buts about it.
Or, THE NEW COOL IDEA that actually adds a game mechanic. This one is still in print buying.
Please note that some of the suggestions I see, like "dividers" and "exclusive cards," are already covered. Note also that by now you have probably seen something to give you hope for the 25mm dice.
Thank you again for your support, and for your patience as we wrestle with the kind of problem that we really like to have.

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
I'll be going live today at 5:00pm EDT on the Onyx Path Twitch to play Chrono Trigger and chat with folks about the campaign. Feel free to join me and celebrate launch day!

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: Enter the Gates! - Draft Manuscript Preview #1 for Backers
My name is James, and I’ll be your Onyx Path Crowdfunding Concierge for this new tabletop roleplaying game project - At The Gates. I’ll be updating the campaign as we go, hopefully adding Stretch Goals, answering questions, and providing support wherever needed as best I can.
International Shipping – Collected in the Pledge Manager
First up, it's amazingly expensive to ship, especially from Onyx Path's home base in the US. We get that, but there's not much we can do at this time. Onyx Path is in a difficult space where the company is big enough that they're not saving money by fulfilling out of Rich's garage, but small enough that they can't really set up international partners to handle portions of the fulfillment. So we are where we are - for now.
The best we can do at this point is to plan carefully, advise everyone up front that international shipping will likely be expensive (see our projections on the main page) and only charge what it costs us when the time comes. We’ll be charging for shipping in the Pledge Manager once the books are being printed and we can deal with the actual shipping charges rather than using our best-guesses this far out. If you live outside the US and aren't sure you want the hardcover or other physical items, you can pledge to the PDF tier now and upgrade your pledge in the Pledge Manager once we know the final shipping costs.
