A generous backer just pumped in enough to push the project to 176 pages...but Kickstarter didn't allocate the full boost to the total I have contacted Kickstarter and told them to knock it the h**l off, because folks are looking (rightly!) at page count for the pledge value and this is an important step

Re: A Bestiary Approaches for Nordlond and the DFRPG
A Surge! A Palpable Surge! (With apologies to Hamlet)
From a project looking a bit "meh" suddenly we are threatening to unlock the 196-page goal. I mean, really. Between Kickstarter glitching and lagging by $1300-$1800 (ow, muh ulcers!) and now being less than $1500 from the NEXT stretch goal at $50,000 for 192 pages... Things are getting very interesting, and still with five hours to go. Following Not Backed There are still over four hundred people who are following this campaign who have not yet backed. Not only could we conceivably unlock all the stretch goals, if we get close you can bet your buttons we'll start seeing TFT folks start throwing in $15 or more to get that TFT conversion. So if you're following ... you really have the fate of the campaign in your hands at the moment. If about 180 people come over...we get a 240 page book. Remember: if we (and much like the Spartans in 300, such wild hopes..., though perhaps that isn't the model I want to use here? My wife would like me to get some of those abs) do hit that $73K stretch goal, everyone who has pledged at least $15 at any level, including "follow the campaign," gets the TFT PDF as part of their pledge. New Foundry VTT Examples Nick and Nose have been busy. They sent me these screen-shots of the Foundry VTT monster card presentation. You can't see them here, as I can't attach images. But You Can See Them Here

Re: A Bestiary Approaches for Nordlond and the DFRPG
Wow. What a freakin' day. So awesome.
Tomorrow there's no rest for the wicked, and I'm chatting with ShipQuest in the UK talking international shipping. If I have any good news, I'll pass it on. But here are some stats:
This was solid. Now I have to do my Management Fu thing. First order of business after I chat with ShipQuest and a few other international fulfillment folks is to get solid quotes from various printers, and really dig in on getting these monsters done. I can also start queueing up the art, which will make my art team happy. For now, I'm going to go have something to drink. Thanks again, folks. You turned this from something that looked pretty grim through all of November into the best campaign I've ever run. I'll make you a great book.

Re: A Bestiary Approaches for Nordlond and the DFRPG
This feels slightly obvious, but I just did the math and the total page count of Monsters, Monsters 2, and the chapter of Companion 2 dedicated to monsters is only 127 pages. So this is more than a 150% increase in how many pages-of-bestiary we have! Pretty cool if you ask me.

If this changes (such that I find a way to get more of my material able to ship worldwide) I'll let you know.

Re: A Bestiary Approaches for Nordlond and the DFRPG
International Shipping Update: Anything for Anyone, Anywhere
I was not expecting to be able to make this announcement. But I never really give up on International Shipping, only reluctantly make campaign-specific decisions. I WANT everyone to be able to get my stuff. But after a lot of chatting with Nord Games (USA) and ShipQuest (UK), I'm pleased to announce that when the Backerkit Survey goes out in a week or so, international customers will be able to
As this implies, I will not be doing fulfillment out of my basement. Both Nord and Gaming Ballistic have the same philosophy when it comes to shipping: Make it as close to a pass-through as possible. So this is excellent. Even better, ShipQuest UK is a VAT agent under iOSS (or will be by the time the books start moving). So THAT part of the decision - which was and is a legit reason to not do international shipping of books and stuff - no longer applies. The logistics chain provided by Nord and ShipQuest is, quite simply, better than what I was able to do on my own. I couldn't speak confidently to this during the campaign, because I didn't have enough information about who, what, how many, and how much. I know how much ShipQuest spent to become a registered VAT agent, and that was simply not going to happen for me. But...now the game is afoot. That does not mean shipping will be cheap or we'll be happy about the rates. We know we will not be happy. But they're better than I was looking at on my own, and the ability to move boxes of my old inventory to stage for international backers, plus a more experienced staff when it comes to working with VAT + Backerkit...I think we can get this done. Sorry for not being able to lead with this, but hopefully "delayed" is better than "not at all."

Re: A Bestiary Approaches for Nordlond and the DFRPG
Just updated the pledge to get my dead tree book home.
I want to thank you, Douglas, for the effort to make it affordable. I am pretty sure we are going to enjoy the content very much! Last edited by Juan; 12-23-2021 at 10:16 AM. |

Re: A Bestiary Approaches for Nordlond and the DFRPG
A sneak peak review.
https://refplace.blogspot.com/2022/0...-bestiary.html I am unsurprisingly impressed :) Yet pleasantly surprised at some of the new content.
