Re: A Bestiary Approaches for Nordlond and the DFRPG
I have a probably dumb question. Is there a difference between the VTT Token pack (used in my pledge level) and the VTT Bundle (used in the $100).
I'm wondering whether there are VTT that have been added for other books. I have I think all of your PDF library for GURPS and I think all for Fantasy Trip (plus an odd D&D5th). If you have added VTT for some of your other products might be willing to pay for an add on for that stuff and up my pledge a bit for that. Best

for other projects - mostly the adventures - if you don't have the maps in VTT format, that's something you don't have to pledge for - it's just an oversight. Email me privately and we'll work it out.

Re: A Bestiary Approaches for Nordlond and the DFRPG
I've had to keep this quiet. I didn't want to, but sometimes you have to.
Gaming Ballistic is THRILLED to announce Foundry VTT support for the Bestiary. Here's a video. Gaming Ballistic's Norðlond Bestiary and Enemies compendium for Foundry Kudos and thanks to SJ, Phil, Alain, and SJGames for indulging this experiment! Over a hundred tokens, player-facing art, and drag-and-play stats as part of the GURPS Game Aid (Unofficial) on Foundry The VTT pack can be added to any pledge that includes the PDF, and is already part of many pledge levels. They're watching both the Bestiary and the VTT adoption. I encourage folks to vote with their dollars if they want more of such things. Your VTT Pack Just Got a LOT Cooler

Re: A Bestiary Approaches for Nordlond and the DFRPG
This came up on Reddit, but it's worth repeating.
If your pledge doesn't already include the VTT Pack, you can "add it" by adding $15 to your pledge so long as your pledge level includes at least the PDF of the Bestiary. I've tried to anticipate likely "upgrades," so check out which pledge levels already include it explicitly, and list it in the "INCLUDES:" details of the pledge level description. These levels below explicitly include the VTT package:
Due to an oversight on my part, when I added the VTT Pack to the Kickstarter before it launched, I forgot to plus-up some of the higher-tier pledges to include the VTT Pack:
If you don't see the precise stuff you want on the above, you may need to pick a close-enough level and then add funds to cover the a la carte items as add-ons. The VTT Pack is a $15 add-on. Other books and content are also available. Scroll down to see them listed (farther down. No, even farther. Almost there. Good.) Note that some of the PDF collections are pretty deeply discounted. Before you spend (hypothetically) $123 on pick-and-choose PDFs one-by-one, make sure that you're not bypassing the cheaper "Bestiary PDF + all Nordlond PDFs" for $100.

Re: A Bestiary Approaches for Nordlond and the DFRPG
144-Page Stretch Goal UNLOCKED!
We did it! The first stretch goal fell before the 48-hour warning, which is tomorrow. This is excellent news, and we just added 16 more pages full of undead to the book. I love using the undead as bad guys, and this stretch goal unlocks some very powerful ones, such as mummies and vampires. The next goal is at $42,000.

Re: A Bestiary Approaches for Nordlond and the DFRPG
48-hour Warning on the Bestiary and Enemies Book
Fans of Steve Jackson Games GURPS, Powered by GURPS, and the Dungeon Fantasy RPG have been asking for this since 2004. Let's drive and hit the 240pg stretch goal! Please come and pledge! There are over 400 people following the campaign who haven't pledged yet. If they all did so (they won't, but let's be irrationally exuberant) we'd crush the page-count stretch goals and be within $1,000 of the TFT conversion promised in an early update. There's a bit to go, but this is absolutely doable.

Re: A Bestiary Approaches for Nordlond and the DFRPG
Congratulations Doug, you've lured me out of my burrow. It's been… long.
I've noticed on the previews that Control Points are quite comfortable in the stat block. It makes me wonder: will I have trouble using the book without the Fantastic Dungeon Grappling? As much as I'd love to give it a go, my effort last time I ran DFRPG and GURPS was focused on cutting crunch and bookkeeping to better suit my players. So I'm wondering: are there any monsters that rely on the CP? Or are there maybe other hurdles for someone using vanilla grappling? E.g. a lot of biting into grapple? Also, will there be any guidelines into balancing encounters? I know it's not so simple in DFRPG, but I think it could help a lot in prep (and that's what bestiaries are for, I guess).

Re: A Bestiary Approaches for Nordlond and the DFRPG
The Nordlond Fantasy Bestiary and Enemies book is now 160 pages, with 25 hours to go.
It has surpassed The Citadel at Nordvorn in backer count, making the Bestiary the highest backer count of any Dungeon Fantasy RPG project I've run thus far. The next stretch goal for 176 pages is at $46,000 - the funding is at this moment at $43,400 ... so $2,600 or (going by the average) about 36 backers. The stretch goals from here to the maximum at $62,000 are pretty close together. $4,000 per 16 pages additional until the maximum at 240 pages. There are over 400 folks following the campaign who have not yet pledged. We can still do this. I mean, we're gonna be a bit winded at the end, but it's still possible to hit the goals given "assets in hand."

Re: A Bestiary Approaches for Nordlond and the DFRPG
I backed this project and hopefully it has a lot of kewl monsters. I hope that it is successful so that there will be other books such as a DF version of India and South East Asia.
