Hello, backers! Wow—in less than a day you unlocked another stretch goal! We will now produce a set of graphics for use with your online game. It’s an exclusive reward just for backers, and every backer will get it.

Having just unlocked support for online play, let’s turn our attention back to the book—and specifically The Darkest Woods Expanded Edition. This book will be available only through this campaign, so we’re looking forward to making it as beautiful as it is practical. We’ve already unlocked one upgrade to the book, but there’s so much more we’d love to do!

At $270,000 we’ll add more deluxe features to the Expanded Edition. The feature we’re most excited about is “invisible ink” on the end sheets—hold the book under UV light and you’ll see additional ghostly hidden artwork. (But we’re still working with our print vendor on the specifics, so we can’t absolutely guarantee it’ll happen.) That’s just one aspect of this goal, though. We’re looking at additional satin ribbons, a paper upgrade, and other deluxe features.

As with the earlier upgrade, we’re focusing on features that will make this one of the most striking books on your game shelf—while remaining functional and practical at the game table.

If you’ve seen the deluxe edition of the Cypher System Rulebook, The Weird, or the Old Gods of Appalachia Roleplaying Game, you know we’re experts at crafting truly unique and stunning deluxe versions. We’re really looking forward to the cool things we can do with this book.

We have two days left to help new backers discover this campaign. With your help, that’s plenty of time to unlock this stretch goal—and more. Here are a few graphics that are great for sharing. Just right-click on any of them to download it, then share it on social media along with a link to the campaign. The more people we reach, the more we can unlock before the campaign ends on Friday!

Thanks for your support!
