Hey Backers!!

We already unlocked the following systems, D&D 5th Edition, Pathfinder, Shadow of the Demon Lord & OSR 

Also we have a new book cover based off of this awesome art piece (look below) I have literally spent the last 4 hours making it work for gold-foil printing and I'm really proud of it.

Fully Funded!! Stretch Goal Options
over 7 years ago – Tue, Oct 18, 2016 at 09:53:14 AM

Hey Backers!!
I am happy to announce that we are funded!! 
Today is the last day to vote on the social stretch goals (if you haven't done so already do so HERE)

Also i wanted to get a sense of what you, as the backers would like to have as stretch
Now this version of the book is reduced in scale, 
I am curious to know what you guys would like to have as stretch goals 

• Cute Art (cause what's more adorable than dark characters now cute)
• Expand the book (more art and writing = more pages)
• Adventures  (we could either do it as a module (probably system targeted) or we could do a segment in the expanding story seeds and campaign directions using the book.)
• Item Cards (just an idea) -inspired by Dark Souls we could create item cards with unique descriptions on them, so when a player discovers an item they could read it to get a vague sense of the lore surrounding that item (just an idea)

Cute Art 

Expand the Book

 Adventures

 Would love to hear what you guys think!

Voting Update & Updated Stretch Goals & Art
over 7 years ago – Sun, Oct 16, 2016 at 09:36:45 PM

Hey Backers!

Thank you for all voting for the next three systems, the top five votes that were significantly ahead of the others are as follows.

• 25- Cypher System  
• 24- Dungeon World 
• 14- Savage Worlds  
• 14- FATE 
• 13- 13th Age 

Since we had a tie for third, I will include both of them. Meaning we have unlocked companions for the following systems.
D&D 5th Edition, Pathfinder, Shadow of the Demon Lord, OSR/AD&D, Cypher System , FATE, Dungeon World & Savage Worlds

Stretch Goals

I can't thank you all enough for weighing in on the stretch goal post. I have many ideas in how to expand Embers, but since you are the backers and the ones making it possible, I would rather make something that you guys would like over something I may think is cool.
We are going to focus on expanding the book

10k - Each backer gets two free system companions, we're also adding + 13th Age to the companion list (since it was so close)

11k - 4 pages of adventure seeds (71 total pages)

Gold Foil Cover
So the cover we had designed was too complex to have gold foil, so instead we'll be using gold ink to print out the cover. We're currently experimenting with the printer to make sure it looks awesome.

Page experimentWe're getting a special page border illustrated, it's just an experiment, and I'm experimenting how it will fit into the books layout, as typically, the more I play with layout the better it looks.

The border is just a sketch but it's in process of being inked.

And Art!

98% funded! Voting Closes Friday
