2000% Unlocked & 36 Hours to Go!
over 3 years ago – Tue, Aug 08, 2023 at 07:15:34 PM

Greetings All!

A massive landmark with 36 Hours to go! I don’t want to undersell it, I’m blown away but if I stop to process right now I might crumple. Let's get right into it, we’ve got unlocks and a dream of a stretch goal!

New Stretch Goal Unlocked!

200k: Stories Bundle!

I love sequential art. It's how I first got into this industry, and that passion has never ceased. For this Stretch Goal, I want to dedicate stories to several lore items about their origins or uses. It’s something to add to the tales of victory and woe throughout the ages.

These will be in 1-2 page spreads for multiple items that will be included in All Tome Versions. I even touched base with some of my favorite artists about this during the weekend at GenCon!

New Stretch Goal Reveal!

300k: Item & Rule Playmat!

I have many friends that play magic, and I’ve been jealous of their mats for ages. This Stretch Goal is designed to condense and present the rules of 5e along with leaving specific  placement for magic items and resource tracking. As a table resource, this is one of my big hopes for an asset to new players.

This will be added to the Mythic Tier as well as being available as a stand alone add-on.

Projects I Love: The Ultimate Game Master Screen

Many of my pals got together and made a really rad GM Screen (that is the driest summary I could make). This thing is killer. I’ve texted it at conventions, and I’ve even had the pleasure of testing it. Does it work with my decks? Absolutely it does.

They have a special bar that solves compatibility for my product, because they are just that cool. I have known this team for years, and I can’t encourage it enough. They have 10 days left on the pledge Manager!

The bar for holding Magical Oddity Cards!

In Their Words: BUILT BY GAME MASTERS, FOR GAME MASTERS! Over 1500 Game Masters from various TTRPG gaming systems, in an attempt to really dig deep and produce something that is have poked and prodded our CUSTOMIZABLE, AFFORDABLE, SYSTEM-AGNOSTIC, PORTABLE, MAGNETIC and STYLISH - ultimately, to serve you well at your gaming table. We strongly believe this will be the last GM screen you’ll ever need.

We are rapidly approaching the last 24 Hours, I’m here for it. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy the ride.

Final 48 Hours!
over 3 years ago – Tue, Aug 08, 2023 at 03:31:36 PM

Greetings All!

We are in the last 48! Technically 38 Hours, because I’m an exhausted goose and was going to wait for the next stretch goal.

I pretty much collapsed after answering comments and prepping for the post today. So, happily back at it, getting to messages and follow ups. I’ll likely be here for the duration now, much to my puppy’s chagrin. But if you need absolutely anything, don't hesitate to ask.

There will likely be multiple updates in the next 38 hours. It's going to be a massive push, and I am forever grateful to be in a position to be making them.

Project I Love: The Secret Art of Game Mastery

I met DMLair at GaryCon this year and we’ve stayed in touch. I was lucky enough to play a game with Luke this past weekend (shoutout to our DM Darryl) and we were definitely a strong dash of chaos. Testing our DM’s limits and trying to keep the party moving.

Darryl handled it like a champ, but I definitely could not have. That’s why I’m happy something like this exists! We discussed it and from the preview, I am definitely going to be gettin it. It’s already fully funded and tearing through its stretch goals.

Their Words: Get 250 pages of game master advice, knowledge, and wisdom to elevate your role-playing game! The Secret Art of Game Mastery has over 100 years of accumulated experience, distilled into an easy-to-use reference guide. You can get better at running any game, in any system, and any genre! Whether you're a NEW GAME MASTER or a VETERAN, the Secret Art of Game Mastery is for you.

This is our home stretch, thank you for being here along with me.

Back from GenCon & Under 60 Hours Left!
over 3 years ago – Mon, Aug 07, 2023 at 08:14:17 PM

Greetings All!

This weekend was my third GenCon, and I cannot overstate how incredibly lucky I have been in my experiences at this amazing convention. Seeing people practice with the prototype cards, meeting other creators (both new and old), and finally being able to interact with pals from the corners of the internet.

I don’t take compliments well, but for those who took the time to share and celebrate my accomplishments, I cannot thank you enough. It meant the world to me. I know it’s not all luck, but I can't help but be humbled by the support.

I arrived back just in time to spend some quality time with the family and pup before diving back in for the last 60 hours! I’ll be running through outstanding messages and comments as quickly as I can.

(Much Love to my pals stuck in Indy due to the Weather!)

Thank you once again, I am just so happy to be making.

Keep Playing & Be Safe!

Project We Love & GenCon Update!
over 3 years ago – Thu, Aug 03, 2023 at 11:34:49 AM

Greetings All!

A smaller update but one near and dear. We are in the last 7 days and what a busy week it will be!

Projects We Love!

Our humble little Tome has officially made it into Kickstarter’s Projects We Love category!!

I couldn’t be more excited for this. I truly hope more people find this as something they adore. Not to undersell it, but this is massive for a solo project like mine. It’s very much appreciated.

Gencon 2023!

I’m at GenCon, I’m visiting pals and have two big things going on for this weekend. Both those are brokendown below!

Epic Adventure: Youtuber Game Deck!

I was able to do a local test print of some of the newer and older items from the campaign decks for my pals Antonio (PointyHat), Ginny Di, Kelly & Monty (Dungeon Dudes), and Will (DnDShorts) which is just bonkers to say. They are hosting a large-scale 60 player adventure and I will have 12 Decks floating around for test playing!

I’m excited to pop in and see what works and what doesn’t with a larger style play, especially since some items were tweaked specifically for this game. The test print went off without a hitch (mostly), arriving on time with minimal hiccups, which is encouraging!

GenCon: Item Flyers!

My biggest asset will always be the friends I have made in the industry over the years. I’m incredibly lucky in that regard (humbled daily by that fact).

This GenCon several booths are giving away Item Flyers, which feature one of my unique items and a QR code to this very Kickstarter. If you are finding this from one of those flyers, Welcome!

If you are at GenCon, you can use this handy map to locate places giving away the flyers.

Project's We Love - Obojima Tales From The Tall Grass: A 5E Campaign Setting

Not to get too sappy, 1985Games are the first industry people I met in person as a small creator at C2E2 in 2020. They took the time to get to know me, we’ve shared too many laughs to count.

They’ve welcomed me with open arms at new conventions, I’ve even worked their booth when short staffed (they are on the flyer list!). I love these guys, and I adore their project. This has been in the works for a while and is getting all of the attention it deserves.

I hope you like it too.

In Their Words: Obojima is a 250+ page campaign setting inspired by the wondrous worlds featured in Studio Ghibli films and the beloved Legend of Zelda game series. Guide your players through breathtaking locations, encounter strange spirits, discover rare oddities, and battle wild and wondrous creatures. Create your own unforgettable narrative in this familiar world with an all-new collection of curious items, magical spells, and numerous player options.

Check it out here!: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1985games/obojima-tales-from-the-tall-grass-a-5e-campaign-setting?ref=ep7e8s

Thank you truly, continually humbled by the kind words and praise. Just happy to be making. 

Be Safe, and Keep Playing.

1550% Funded - Stretch Goal: Unlock & Reveal!
over 3 years ago – Mon, Jul 31, 2023 at 07:53:59 AM

Greetings All!

Back with another Monday Update! We’ve smashed the 150k Goal, so we are back with another Unlock and Reveal!

New Stretch Goal Unlocked!

150k: Boon Bundle Unlocked!

The Boons mean even more items! I’m hyped for this! As a refresher, these are designed outside of the regular rarity spectrum, because they are designed around providing assistance. Outside of the balance structure of regular items, give players an Item Boon.

These are powerful class items meant to enhance the experience at the table with the player’s investment in their character. These objects require more than just standard attunement. They each have a requirement suiting their fickle nature.

Revamping and releasing these is an absolute treat!

New Stretch Goal Reveal!

250k: Item & Patron Token Bundle!

There are a lot of items that come into play on map oriented play (Animated Jug, Hans, My Lineage Sword etc.) that could really use some map representation. For this, I reached out to my pal and colleague Darryl of SplatteredInk! They will be crafting top down representations of these and more, including the 3 Patrons added in the previous stretch goal!

These will be included in the Sage & Regular Digital Asset Bundles (and bundles including them.)

 Projects I Love:  Phaylen Presents: Spectacular Shops & Services 

What would magic items be without shops to peddle them?

I’ve always been a fan of Item Shops, but I’ve never been great at running them. This resource aims to fix that by giving you a resource in one place!

In Their Words: Phaylen Presents: Spectacular Shops & Services presents 20 fully fleshed-out businesses that offer players more than a transactional experience. With easy-to-read descriptions, interesting NPCs, unique items and quests, these businesses add some life to a town and offer a new experience – shops that further the plot!

Check it out here!:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/yargsguide/spectacular-shops?ref=cgzlvl

Prepping a few surprises for GenCon, but it should be a busy week. I’ll see what I can slip in an update to keep you in the know all the little surprises!
