US Backers – Mini Update – No News
Hello Legionnaires,
📣 US Backers
There was a mix-up getting my pallets off of the rail car and over to a secondary warehouse before they could ...
Lots of things to discuss today, so let's dive in:
\\\ STRETCH GOAL NEWS ///
🎉 DM Dave's adventure has been finished! Get ready for a mind-bending, player-stressing countdown clock adventure!
After running into problems with the Backertrain adventure downloads, I have included this stretch goal adventure below in the Backer Only Content. Now I know for the future, each stretch goal should be an "Item" that I add to pledge levels. This way I can attach a pdf to that specific item.
🎉 Kelly McLaughlin sent over his spore-filled adventure that's sure to be a hit at your table! After consuming the words I quickly sent it over to Walton for editing. After editing is complete I will begin layout. I'll be sure to update all of you on the progress.
🎉 Online Character Generator is now live! Check it out here. codeLiches did an incredible job with this. Each of the areas that have a rollover state can be rerolled on their own, or you can "Obliterate" the character as a whole. It also has the option to include additional classes, as well as clicking on the clown face to have the Killer Clowns sub-class for Space Raiders!
As many of you know, this is my full-time job. To keep food on the table and my mortgage paid I usually need to have multiple projects going at any given time. My next project Sqwürmish will launch on February 11 at 11 am EST.
This is a miniatures-agnostic (you can use anything you want for the minis) skirmish game set in the Vast Grimm universe. There will be thirteen connected scenarios that can be played as one-offs, or in campaign mode. Sqwürmish can be enjoyed solo, co-op, or vs with 1–4 players. It will have STLs and miniatures by Maelvolent Minis. I have made a ton of progress on the writing and hope to have that part of it finished by the launch.
First off, Happy New Year to all of you! I hope 2025 is filled with amazing things for you and your loved ones.
It's update time!
First, the Backer Train Stretch Goal Scenarios are now available for download on Backerkit through your Digital Download section.
DM Dave's Guest Adventure has been submitted and gone through the first pass of editing!
The new online character generator is being worked on and making great progress!
Kelly's Guest Adventure should be coming my way soon (based on chats we had at PAXU).
Alchemy has all of the files and is in line to get worked on.
The patches I ran out of have all been mailed out earlier this week (look for a green envelope)
What's Next for the Campaign
I hope to start the layout and design of Dave's adventure next week.
Need Assistance?
if you have any problems with the campaign please fill out the support form here. I will do my best to get in touch with you quickly.
The Latest Books as Modules on Roll20
I took a wild leap into getting the latest books into Roll20. Thanks to Zac Goins for giving me the push and insight to do it. A big thanks to Kevin B. for updating the character sheet to include Ships and NPCs!
For those of you who backed the campaign and would like to purchase those modules, down in the Backer only content there are links for 50% OFF, but hurry it ends on the 15th.
My Next Project Needs Some Love
That's right, I could use some more follows on Sqwürmish, a miniature agnostic skirmish game set in the Vast Grimm 'verse. You can use any minis you like and we will even have official minis to purchase both as STLs and resin-printed options.
The game is built off of the Forbidden Psalm system and will have many elements compatible with Vast Grimm.
I'm a little dense, but I can't find the "Digital Download section" after I login to BackerKit. Can someone provide a clickpath to download "Backer Train Stretch Goal Scenarios".
This is it, the physical items are pretty much done! A few stragglers haven’t finished their pledge manager, but all other orders have shipped! Once you receive your shipment, if you have any problems please fill out the support form here.
MISSING PATCHES
I ran into one problem with the special bonus patches. Either I miscalculated the amount to order, or I shipped too many over to the UK for fulfillment. Either way, I need to re-order 2 patches. Towards the end of the packing, I realized I was running out and I kept track of everyone missing patches. I have emailed everyone who is missing these patches. It will probably be early January that I will have them, but I will get the patches in and drop them in the mail to those missing them. Do not worry, I will make sure you get what you’re supposed to!
FINAL ITEMS
There are still some digital items that need to be finalized
Online Character Generator – I am having CodeLiches write this because I kept mucking it up. This is next in line after their current project
Alchemy – I drug my feet on this, but the files have been sent to Alchemy and have been added to their calendar
Backer Train stretch goal adventures – I am starting on ideas for these this upcoming week.
DM Dave adventure – I will talk to him at PAXU about this
Kelly McLaughlin adventure – I will talk to him at PAXU about this
Overall, I am extremely proud to have launched and fulfilled the physical items for the campaign in six months. That’s right six months!!! I believe that is the fastest I have ever gotten a project to backers and I am thrilled.
SKELETON CREW FOR EVERYONE
During the campaign, I mentioned that Skeleton Crew would be available for everyone. You can download the PDF here!
WANT MORE FROM THIS CAMPAIGN?
Books from this project will go live on my website on December 10th, after I return from PAXU.
PAX UNPLUGGED NEXT WEEK
I leave for Philly early next week. It should be an amazing time for all things Borg!
Creature Curation will be part of the Corpse Run again! Go visit our industry friends and win cool stuff!
Gehenna Gaming is running Vast Grimm games each day!
And I will have lots of great Vast Grimm items! Be sure to come by and say hello at Booth 4023!
MORE GRIMM COMING EARLY NEXT YEAR
With this project close to wrapped, and Plunderlust inching closer to going to the printer, I am pleased to announce Sqwürmish – a miniature skirmish game set in the Vast Grimm ‘verse. I’ve started getting into the Forbidden Psalm (Mörk Borg skirmish) games, especially when I don’t have a group of people to sit down and do some RPGing.
Not only will we have the rulebook, but we will also have minis for core classes and a bunch of creatures from the VG core book! Even if you aren’t into skirmish games, you'll want to check this out. Please give it a follow to help defeat the algorithm.
I am exhausted. The 3 pallets showed up at my house today. With help from my son, we got it all loaded in and organized. Then from around 1PM Eastern until now, I have been fulfilling orders. This is from a about 3 boxes ago. I am right at about the halfway mark. I have 181 packages ready for pickup tomorrow with another 171 more to go.
The next half will be trickier, because there are more variations. But I am going to do my best to get them all packed up and ready to mail Friday (since the post office is closed Thursday).
