Project Update: Penultimate Day!

Stretch Goal Collect!

Wow! We have surpassed $40K and now there will be a pad of full color character sheets! This character sheet was designed by Colin Richards and just nails that 80s chillwave, grid architecture until your brain melts.

I've also dropped the collab stretch goal at $50K and put an upgraded printing for the Netcrawl RPG main rulebook in its place. There's only a few cycles left to get us there, but a cool spot gloss treatment will make the books pop and some nice colors on the headband and endsheets make for an even nicer looking book.


Shock-tober Surprise!

October 3rd Brian Shutter, Joey Royale and I will get together on twitch and celebrate the end of the Neon Lords Deities and Demi-Bros Supplement and Netcrawl RPGs amazing crowdfunding campaigns. There will be bonus overtime and the backer train (Choo-choo)! We will watch our backer trains rise and fall and wait as our projects come to an end. We will also celebrate the progress (success) of Weird Heroes of Public Access. The campaign launches on October 3rd at 10 am EDT and I'm sure it will be a huge hit and already be funded by the time 8:30 pm eastern rolls around.

Tune into Twitch.tv/goodmangamesofficial at 8:30 Eastern to watch the stream (simulcast on all of our Backerkit pages).

But that's not all! We will conclude the Play by Poll Adventure Twin Split live on air! What has happened after our momentous activation of particle burst and use of burndown, you ask? Check it out:


Adventure By Poll: Twin Split - pt. 6

Seven purple explosions erupt on the wire shark as B@TB0!D v01ds33k0r successfully runs particle burst!
 
Of the successful poll results, the random.org indicated the roll was on the low side (14-15). But we burned down 5 points brining it up to 20 and we added our level and Wits modifier for another 5. Now 25 is not a shabby result the program at that result will deal 4d12+ B@TB0!D v01ds33k0r's level (which is 3rd). But spending 3 points of Hack to bring it up to 28 yields the following:
 
1d6+3 bursts of particle energy that each deal 1d8 + user’s programmer level points of damage. Each missile can be aimed at a separate target to which the user has line of sight. The particle burst never misses.

So we'll bump the program result up to 28. Random.org says B@TB0!D v01ds33k0r created 7 missiles each dealing for 1d8+3 for a total of 7d8+21! More random rolling gives us a total damage of 58 hit points.

The particle burst blows huge craters all over the wire shark's digital form. Pixels explode and darken. I can confidently report that the wire shark is no more!

Using burndown has consequences! (Did I forgotten to mention that? Sorry.) Every time burndown is used, the player consults the burndown table. Luckily random.org rolls a 5 and the effects are not that severe:

Immediately after destroying the wire shark B@TB0!D v01ds33k0r flickers and convulses uncontrollably for an entire combat round. Fortunately, there is only a single ICE in the connection tunnel. So B@TB0!D v01ds33k0r quickly regains his faculties and moves down the tunnel.

What is at the end of the tunnel? Is Castor still running? Who is behind their disappearance?

YOU TELL US!

I will be running the end of this Play by Poll Adventure during the Shock-ober Surprise at 8:30 pm eastern on Twitch.TV/GoodmanGamesOfficial. Your comments could be used for the narrative, so give us your theories as to the fate of Castor!
