New Add-ons, new stretch goal, and only four days left 'til it's all done!
over 2 years ago – Sun, Aug 20, 2023 at 03:52:01 PM

Hey everyone!

Wow! We crossed $100,000, and we kept on zooming. Next up... $115,000!

Book per month?

I've added our next stretch goal, another "Goosebumps"-sized scenario book to follow the Quickstart rules. Moving forward, the content stretch goals will be released shortly after the Quickstart Book, allowing you to jump in and start playing right away. Keep in mind that these will ship solo, so they will have marginally high prices since we can't bundle, etc. Fortunately, we can use media mail for you US folks so that it won't be too crazy. 

 Plus, if we hit enough stretch goals, I hope to do one per month until the large book and "stuff we gotta do overseas" hit you (the large book and all the accessories). So think of this new book—plus, retroactively 1527 Lulu Lane—as a "Badge Quest Content Subscription." If we get enough of the smaller books, too, I'll likely open up a "Quickstart Subscription" package that'll let you get them all at a discount and potentially even add a "Super Duper All-In" tier that will include it all. This will become the Kickstarter that keeps on giving! 

Add-ons added-on!

I've also added the sticker badges and paper minis as add-ons. The sticker badges will be $15 for the physical pack and $6 for the VTT version, and the paper mini pack will be $30 for the physical and $15 for the print-and-play and VTT versions. All backers will receive the digital versions, FYI, at no charge.

The only stretch goal add-on not added yet is the Quickstart Rulebook since some of you will get a free (plus shipping) copy once the campaign is done. Offering the discount through Backerkit will be easier since we can do that before your CC gets charged.

From here on forward, it will be mostly content, so keep watching for more stretch goals.

$100,000 hit! New stretch goals unlocked! Add-ons coming soon!

Great news, folks, as we've officially hit $100,000. That now provides the original Complete Gamebook—rebranded to Quickstart Rules—as an add-on for you all. Since many of you will get a free copy with shipping, I won't add this until we go to the Pledge Manager after the campaign ends. That way we can manually add the discounts. Just make sure you've got your copy of your receipt for the book ready to go.

I'll be announcing some new stretch goals—likely all content—between now and the campaign ends. So look out for those. I hope to add some more "instantly available" add-ons that will appear earlier than the main book. These will be smaller books that I can print in the US and ship directly to you without having to go through the whole overseas rigamarole.

Thanks again, everyone, for making this a successful campaign so far. Talk to you soon!

Can't wait to get started playing? Quickstart Rules added as a stretch goal!

Hey all!

To celebrate the success of the campaign, at $100,000, I'll be taking the original Badge Quest Complete Gamebook from earlier this year and rebranding it as "Quickstart Rules." The QS version will have some new art (replacing some of the stock art that got in there due to Rick breaking his hand during production), and five new scenarios.

All backers will get a FREE PDF copy of it ETA in September or so. That way, you can also start playing as soon as the campaign ends.

The physical version of the new Quickstart rules will be available for purchase as an add-on, and we will release this in October or so. We'll produce through Mixam to ensure we get it quickly. Note that Europe and Australia might be slower to receive theirs since we'll have to get around customs, etc.

If you previously purchased the book through the DMDave.com website, show us your order number and proof of ID, and we'll send you the quickstart rules FREE so long as you're a backer on this campaign and cover the cost of shipping!

Anyways, I hope you're all pumped for this stretch goal! I always love to make sure people get playing soon as possible, and I'd hate for all to wait a year to start solving mysteries!

Stretch Goal #6 is hit... paper minis are coming! #7 will be sticker sheets!

Hey all!

We just hit the paper minis stretch goal. I will add it to the add-on list as soon I determine what the line-up of figures will be for that particular item. Expect all of the girls, the new archetypes, and likely all of the monsters featured in the Campaign book. 

The next stretch goal will be sticker sheets, as requested, at the $80,000 mark.

What's our next stretch goal, folks?

Happy mid-campaign, folks!

Our new ads are bringing in a lot of new faces, so hello! And with all the new faces, we will hit all new stretch goals. The last time I polled you, you all said you wanted paper minis. We're about $2,000 away from hitting that goal (and at the rate we're going, we should hit that by lunch or so). 

What should we do next?

Here are a few suggestions I've already seen:

• More content
• Another pack of random encounter cards
• Printed map packs
• Badge sticker packs

Let me know in the replies or comments section what you want to see.
