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 :)

Hey!
Just letting you know that @gygax_confirmed on Instagram is hosting a giveaway to promote The Electrum Archive! One lucky winner (picked at random on 24th of February) will get a free copy of both issue 01 and 02 when they are released. You can find further info here. Of course, if you turn out to be that lucky winner, you can then cancel your pledge :)
Cheers!

30K! Another stretch goal unlocked!

We've just hit the 30K mark! Incredible!
Thanks to your support, I will be able to create a package of nine pre-generated player characters and a quick reference sheet! The sheets will contain the most referenced rules so you don't have to dig through two separate zines while running the game.
The character sheets will include an illustrated character portrait and a short backstory to give the player an idea of who they are playing. I made a mock-up using art from issue 01 to give you a preview of what these sheets will probably look like once I get some new art commissioned.
Mockup of the pre-generated characters
The next stretch goal is one I'm very excited about, and I have heard multiple backers excitedly talk about as well; the "Faces of Orn" stretch goal.
This stretch goal will allow me to hire a bunch of different artists to create a digital package of 24 character illustrations for players and Seers to use at the table. Orn is a pretty weird place sometimes so getting good illustrations to represent NPCs and Player Characters in your game can be tough. This stretch goal aims to make this a lot easier :)
So if you are just as excited about this next stretch goal as I am, share this project with others who you think will love it, and together we can hit this goal!
Again, thank you so much for backing and helping me make this project a reality!
Talk soon!

Poster Map stretch goal unlocked!
over 1 year ago

Hey!
The project just passed 25k which means you will get a A3 sized poster map of Titan Port included with every copy of TEA 02!
Here is a rough sketch of how the map would look like:
This is a very rough sketch; the final map will contain a lot more details and locations to visit :)
Thank you so much for helping reach this stretch goal! I really enjoyed illustrating the poster map that's included with the first issue, so I'm excited to work on this one and make it a nice artifact for you to use at the gaming table or just hang on your wall.
The next stretch goal is a double feature! It will be a package of pre-generated characters, including character portraits and a short backstory, and a quick reference sheet that contains most rules found in issues 01 and 02.
Again, thank you so much for helping the project reach this milestone!
Talk again soon :)

Project Spotlight - Cloud Empress and Wraithlands
over 1 year ago

Hey!
The campaign just got "Projects We Love" status from Kickstarter and is nearing its next stretch goal at 25k, so while we're waiting, I thought it might be a cool idea to highlight some other projects that are funding right now. So here are two projects I backed and am looking forward to receiving once they're done!
Cloud Empress
Most of you have probably seen this one already, but I think Cloud Empress jells quite well with The Electrum Archive. The game is also inspired by Nausicaa and has a similar mix of scifi and fantasy. I had the pleasure of reading through it before the Kickstarter launched and I can't wait to see where Watt will take this project in the next few years. The campaign is ending soon, so go check it out before that happens!
This self-described "vibes-heavy" game has a great aesthetic to it. Playing fucked up little guys looking for powerful artifacts definitely resonates with how I like to play role-playing games, so I'm excited to see this game getting some love!
