Congratulations once again! You've unlocked stretch goal number 4 which includes 1 new magic item (like ALL stretch goals do, huzzah!) AND 1 additional new monster for the adventure section of the book.
Yes, there's an adventure. Actually, there are 3 short adventures which will each have their own chapters.
Sayuri's Chest of Wonders will follow Aizendore's Vault of Tragic Treasure (for those of you who have already read that one) in its formatting, so it'll have 3 parts as follows:
Part 1: Lore Part 2: Adventure Part 3: Magic Items
See, we've never believed in providing a book of just monsters or just magic items. Not that there's anything wrong with those. It's just not our style.
You'll find some form of adventure in every Penny Dragon book and that adventure will usually tie in with the theme of the said book so as to give an idea how to use the material in that book. The adventures in Sayuri's Chest of Wonders, for example, feature Sayuri, her crew, and a handful of the magic items included in Part 3.
In other words, it's there to inspire GMs and give ideas on how to use the magic items and such in their own setting, etc.
The next stretch goal will unlock a monotone printer friendly version of Sayuri's Chest of Wonders so you can print it out at home if that's your jam.
Speaking of printing...
Print on Demand
We're toying with the idea of adding a tier for physical Print on Demand books. We don't want to add another print run to the backlog we're still working through (we promised not to do that in previous communications and we plan on sticking to that promise). That said, Print on Demand means someone like DriveThru RPG will take care of printing and shipping so we don't have to.
We've steered clear of PoD in the past due to the poor quality prints it produced. However, I've been surprised to find how much that quality has improved in recent years. I can't tell the difference between that and some offset jobs. It's just an idea we're toying with based on a few comments we received lately.
