I've got pretty far on a cup of coffee today (so many chores!) but it's really our group who's been kicking butt lately! It's been about 5 days since we last reviewed our current Stretch Goal targets and 3 days since we introduced our parallel minigame of Backer Recruitment to add a few more options. Let's check in and see how we're doing...
ACHIEVED! - At $48,000 in Funding – AT THE GATES VTT TOKEN PACK – Digital assets will be created to support online play for At The Gates, including key character and creature tokens from the book. This online asset pack will be added to the rewards list of all backers.
ACHIEVED! - At 900 Backers - NEW ADD ON: AT THE GATE CHIBI PINS - Five different soft enamel 2" pin designs will be available as an Add On option at $14 each or the set of all 5 for $60. Single pin selection will be confirmed in the Pledge Manager. Fulfillment will be handled by NerdyKeppie.com and additional shipping charges will be collected at time of fulfillment.
ACHIEVED! - At $50,000 in Funding - AT THE GATES Companion - New Advanced Paths - The Companion PDF will be expanded to include a section with new Advanced Profession Paths for characters to take if they want to unlock new Arts specific to their mastery of these professions. Backers receiving the At The Gates PDF as one of their rewards will automatically have the Companion PDF added to their rewards list as a bonus.
That's right! Not only did we add the VTT Token pack as a bonus reward for all backers, we've also expanded our At The Gates Companion reward to include more Advanced Paths! Can't wait to see what the team comes up with!
AND PINS! We unlocked a new Add On for the Chibi pins. These are the concept artwork for the pins, and they look amazing! Kudos to Danielle and the team at NerdyKeppie.com for coming up with this awesome option for At The Gates fans! I'm getting a set.
What's next...
At 975 Backers - NEW ADD ON: AT THE GATE LOGO and SIGIL PINS - A single hard enamel screen-printed 2" At The Gates logo pin will be available as an Add On option for $14, and five different soft enamel 1.5" sigil pin designs will be available as an Add On option at $10 each or the set of all 5 for $45. Single pin selection will be confirmed in the Pledge Manager. Fulfillment will be handled by NerdyKeppie.com and additional shipping charges will be collected at time of fulfillment.
We've got one more target in our Backer Recruitment minigame, another set of pins for the profession sigils and the ATG logo. Once we unlock that, we'll probably have some new content Stretch Goals to set up, so let's keep spreading the word to our friends and friendly gamers and ask them to join in!
ACTUAL PLAY PODCAST
Two weeks ago, I shared an episode of the Onyx Pathcast where Danielle detailed ATG character creation with Eddy and Dixie. I've referenced this podcast a bunch while reading through the backer chapters we've received so far.
Well, now that the team has characters it's time to play! You can listen to the first two episodes here:
Hearing the game in action is always my favorite way to learn about the setting and system and seeing how it all interacts.
INTERVIEWS
You can also learn more about the game and the work that went into it with this interview! Developer Danielle talked with The Awkward GM about At The Gates. Check it out on Youtube here: https://youtu.be/YFQKNqQ82U0
And as a bonus, you can check out Danielle's interview on the Bonus Experience hosted by Monica Speca for even more At The Gates talk!

So much At The Gates fun!
I'll be back on Sunday with a sneak peek at one of the Pillars of Magic! Remember to vote to decide what we're looking at!
