The Electrum Archive - Issue 02

Created by Emiel Boven

Explore Orn, a world where adventurers delve into ancient alien shipwrecks in search of magical ink which is used as both currency and spellcasting fuel. Due to fluctuating global shipping rates, we will be charging shipping fees at a later date.

Thank You!

Wow...

Thank you!

I did not expect to be able to reach such a big number to be perfectly honest. I'm incredibly humbled by the positive response to this campaign and will do everything I can to make this second issue an absolute banger :)

The plan going forward is that I'll update you each month with a short post about my progress. I'm still aiming for December for the zine to be released and delivered, but some of the unlocked digital stretch goals might take a little longer since the primary focus will be getting the zine finished. 

As for the first thing I'll be working on, I'll be focusing my attention on the rules and procedures section of the zine. I want to get a beta version of that in your electronic mailboxes before the end of June, so you can start using it in your games.

Also, I'll be sending out the PDFs of the first issue to all Legacy backers somewhere next week once Kickstarter has processed all the payments :)

Again, thank you so much! You made this project happen!


Talk soon!

If you're still here, go back Feathertail Falls! It's an adventure for Mausritter and is looking really nice!

Even more Faces!
almost 2 years ago – Mon, Feb 27, 2023 at 10:42:39 AM

Hey friend!

The project has just reached 45k and unlocked the "Even More Faces" stretch goal! 

This means the portrait package unlocked previously will double in size and feature an even wider range of different artists!

I'm absolutely blown away by the end sprint that is going on right now, so I'm curious to see if we can still make it to the next stretch goal before the project ends tomorrow!

The next stretch goal will be the stand-alone zine for the adventure "Veins Beneath the Sand". 

This adventure, which takes players into an elder ship in the desert outside of Titan Port, is something I'm very excited to write! Having the extra page count of the stand-alone zine will give me more room to make it a more sprawling dungeon compared to when I'll have to cram it into the back of The Electrum Archive - Issue 02.

Again, thank you so much for your support!

Talk to you soon :)

Digital Soundtrack Unlocked!
almost 2 years ago – Sat, Feb 25, 2023 at 10:58:42 AM

Hey!

I'm so happy to announce that the project has passed the 40k mark and will now be getting a digital soundtrack! 

This short album of instrumental tracks will be composed by a good friend of mine, who I've worked with multiple times before while I still created video games. We've been talking about creating music inspired by Orn for a while now, going back as far as the initial ideas for the setting, so I'm incredibly excited to finally be able to make it a reality :)

The next stretch goal will be a doubling of the amount of character portraits that will be created for the Face of Orn art pack that was unlocked previously.

Again, thank you so much for your support and I hope you have a good rest of your day :)

Talk to you again soon,

"Faces of Orn" Stretchgoal Unlocked!
almost 2 years ago – Tue, Feb 21, 2023 at 01:26:33 AM

Hey!

I'm incredibly excited to let you know that the project just passed 35k, which means that the Faces of Orn stretch goal has been unlocked! Thank you so much for pushing the project this far!

This stretch goal involves me hiring a bunch of cool artists to illustrate a variety of NPC and player character portraits. These illustrations will be made available as a digital download, so you can use them in your campaign and drop them in your digital character sheets :)

I'm so stoked to be able to work with new artists and let them go wild creating a wide range of interpretations of the people of Orn!

The next stretch goal is the digital soundtrack!

I've had numerous folks ask me about what I type of music to use while running a game of TEA, and while there is an official playlist, I've long wanted to get an official soundtrack made specifically for it. 

Again, thank you for backing this project and helping it get this far! 

Talk soon!

PS: go back Hiria: The Eternal City! It's being created by Peter Eijk and a few other fellow members of the Good Sleep Collective. It looks wonderful and deserves all the love it can get :)
