We're in the Last 48 Hours!
about 4 years ago – Wed, Sep 09, 2020 at 12:40:20 AM

Hello dear wondrous backers!

We've officially entered the last 48 hours of the campaign! With your incredibly generous pledges, we've unlocked *all* of our Stretch Goals (meaning every copy of Wondrous Expeditions: Forests is packed with extra content!), but now's the chance to take this Kickstarter above and beyond!

From now until the end of the campaign, every pledge made will not only earn a backer an amazing reward, it will help Loresmyth keep growing and bringing you epic new books, decks, and more for years to come. 2020 has shown us how unpredictable this business can be, and raising extra funds goes a long way in making sure we can keep doing this.

If you know RPG fans or aspiring Game Masters who would love this book, send them a link to the campaign, and please share it on your social media! Every pledge means the world to us, and our heartfelt thanks go out to the 2,740+ backers who have already pledged!

 Tune Into the Final Countdown Stream! 

Chris van der Linden, the CEO and founder of Loresmyth, will be streaming on Loresmyth's Twitch channel on Thursday, September 10th at 3 PM CEST. He'll be answering any questions about Wondrous Expeditions and beyond!

Make sure to follow Loresmyth on Twitch to get notified when the stream starts!

100K Euro Passed!!
about 4 years ago – Tue, Sep 08, 2020 at 04:17:44 PM

Hello, dear wondrous backers!!

Jeez, thanks to your amazing pledges we have passed 100.000 euros in funding, with 4 days (in the video I say five days, blame it on the excitement!) still on the clock! What can I say? It's an incredible result and it just doesn't come for granted. As a token of gratitude, everyone with a physical book pledge will get a free, durable Wondrous Expeditions Forests bookmark added to their package.

THANK YOU!

I would like to take a special moment to thank all the new backers who learned about Loresmyth for the first time with this campaign. It means a lot to me that you are backing an indie creator you didn't know yet at all. That's a major vote of confidence! Shoutout in the comments if you are a new or returning backer. 

Let's Celebrate on Discord!

Despite the time difference I will try to be around for a spell to celebrate and chat with you on Discord! Join our nerdy club now on the Loresmyth Discord channel.

This was the last stretch goal!

That's it. :-) We are not adding any more stretch goals. Excess funds that are now raised go a long way in making sure we can continue making products in the future, especially during these radically changing times. Even though we've unlocked all our targets, don't forget to share our campaign on social media. It really means a lot!

Stretch Goal Unlocked! The Shadows of Marrowgrove
about 4 years ago – Sat, Sep 05, 2020 at 03:39:38 AM

Hello, dear Wondrous backers!

Thanks to your incredible pledges, we have unlocked our eleventh Stretch Goal and passed 95.000 EURO in funding! This is an unbelievable achievement, and we’re so excited to see all our wondrous plans coming to life!

The Shadows of Marrowgrove

We now have the funds to create a thrilling follow up adventure to our first unlocked one-shot called "Root of Sylvanus". Designed to make use of all the key contents of Wondrous Expeditions: Forests, these adventure scenarios will challenge and intrigue your players in exciting ways. It will feature monsters and terrain from the book, along with custom maps for the encounters.

This adventure is all about bringing the forest to life and showcasing the immersive elements from Wondrous Expeditions, including building atmosphere, sights, sounds, and navigation. These one-shot scenarios will be included in the main book, so both in the printed book as well as PDF.

New Reward Tier: Digital All-In
about 4 years ago – Thu, Sep 03, 2020 at 11:28:31 PM

Hello, dear wondrous backers! 

On popular demand, I have added a new Reward tier: Digital All-In. 

Wondrous Digital All-In Tier

Don't want to hoard physical books anymore? Ok, ok, we hear you! So then our new reward tier is for you. For 60,- euro you are getting everything the Wondrous Expeditions - Forests Kickstarter has to offer, including PDF versions of unlocked stretch content, as well as (almost) every other Loresmyth product at a great discount price. If you enjoy our work and play online/digitally then this is a no-brainer for you! 

Backerkit Pledge Manager

It's impossible and impractical for us to cover every possible pledge variation in reward tiers, so keep in mind that after this campaign ends you will have plenty of time and options to pick-n-match your items in Backerkit. Don't want this but do want more of that? Customize your add-ons selection in Backerkit and don't sweat your current pledge choice TOO much. Life is short, live easy!

Stretch Goal #10 Unlocked: "Root of Sylvanus" Adventure!
about 4 years ago – Wed, Sep 02, 2020 at 11:05:30 PM

Hello, dear Wondrous backers!

Thanks to your incredible pledges, we have unlocked our tenth Stretch Goal and passed $100,000 USD in funding! This is a huge, huge, milestone for us, and we’re so excited to see all our ambitious plans coming to life!

A One-Shot Adventure for 5e!

We now have the funds to create a thrilling new one-shot adventure designed to be run in a forest environment and maximize the creative contents of Wondrous Expeditions: Forests! The adventure is called "Root of Sylvanus" and will feature monsters and terrain from the core book, along with custom maps for the encounters. 

This adventure is all about bringing the forest to life and showcasing the immersive elements from Wondrous Expeditions, like visibility, sights and sounds, wayfinding, and tracking! The new adventure will use the 5th edition D&D ruleset where appropriate and will be a part of the printed book as well as PDF.

What Adventure Level Should We Use?

Our next goal is to unlock our second one-shot adventure, “Shadows of Marrowgrove”! This is planned to be a follow-up to “Root of Sylvanus,” so you can continue the adventure with your players. Now that you are here, do you have an idea what player level these adventures should be designed for?
