So it turns out that having a following of backers might be important to a crowd funding project.
If you are following us, thank you!
The reality is, the few people that we have managed to engage at a convention level is not driving a great deal of traffic or support our way.
To correct this, we're adjusting priorities for 2020.
Crowd funded release is on hold
This is very disappointing for us, however it makes no sense to plan a large party for a handful of your friends. This really means adjusting expectations and getting to work on other things. With the core content of the books complete, we can focus on new things!
We're continuing to work with artists
So we're still getting artwork for the books, which means that they will be that much more impressive when we do release the finals. This is bitter sweet because we're paying for all of our art and map commissions out of pocket.
QuickStart Guide Incoming!
This is a no brainer for us. SSoS is one of the easiest TTRPGs to jump in and play as a newby (at least that is my opinion).
While this may be less exciting for anyone following right now, the QuickStart should not take as much time to produce and distribute as the core rulebooks. The aim is of course to lower the bar of entry so that we can introduce the game to newcomers. It will include an adventure that some of you may have already played at conventions.
Short Comic
Yes, I did say that we're still working with artists. Juan Ochoa will be working with us to storyboard and produce a short comic strip that will be released monthly as a teaser! Stay tuned.
Regards,
Brian
