I am speechless. Give me an hour or two to cool down. We'll get back to you with all the details, roadmap and such.
You are awesome. You made this happen. And you will not be disappointed!
It's half past midnight in Poland. There are no words to describe how we're feeling right now. It's unreal. Is this the best KS campaign in history? Far from it. But does it change our lives, the way we think about ourselves, the way we think about our future? Most certainly. Absolutely.
I'm trying to keep this professional, but it's really hard at the moment. Thank you for believing in us and Defiant. We will not disappoint you.
Oh yeah - the topic of this update. Since we've passed the $70K mark, all of the Backers, starting from the Courtier level will have the option to buy the unlocked supplements at print cost, as "Print On Demand", on DriveThruRPG (and will receive the free PDFs, of course).
There are still more than 10 hours left till the end of the campaign. We'll see how far this can go. But the stupid smile on my face, that's been there for the last couple of hours is not going anywhere - that's for sure. 🙂
Today we've passed the $60K mark, meaning another suplement is coming your way! Yay!
With less than 48 hours remaining, we can still get to $70K, meaning all Backers from Courtier level up, will get to buy printed (POD) versions of the supplements at print cost. Let's do this!🙂
Unfortunately, one of our Backers had to adjust their pledge and pass on the custom NPC addon. If your interested in working with us on bringing Royals of your choice into the rulebook, we now have one spot available. Get it while you can!
We're now in the final week of the Kickstarter campaign. It's time to reveal the two final stretch goals. I'm gonna be honest with you - unlocking them is not going to be easy, but it is doable with your support!
At $80K, we will create a new layout for Defiant Theme Cards and make them available as "Print On Demand" on DriveThruRPG. The digital files will be available for free for all backers starting from the Courtier level. All of you will also be able to buy the printed version at print cost, only paying the printing house fee (if I'm not mistaken, it's going to be around $6).
Since the last stretch goal means a lot of additional work, we set it at $100K. Will we get that far? It's not likely, but possible - especially if you'll share this campaign and tell your friends about it. We're doing whatever we can on our part, and I know quite a few of you are helping as well. With enough Backers joining in, we will get to that threshold! Here's hoping! :-)
At $100K all the Backers from the Courtier level up will get a free electronic Supplement with a whole new Defiant Province. This is going to be roughly the size of the Bridgewood Boulevard chapter in the main rulebook, so quite a lot of writing for us and plenty of reading for you! :-)
Additionally, when we get to $100K, we're going to do a survey, asking all the Backers to choose the type of Province, you'd be most interested in receiving. We've got two different options and decided we're going to leave this one to you guys!
That's it. All the cards are now on the table. We'd really appreciate it if you could help out by spreading the word. And we're thankful to everyone who already did! We've got till July 15th to make the stretch goals a reality!
It actually happened! Thanks to your commitment, this campaign passed the $50K mark. It feels unreal. And awesome! Defiant Discord Bot will now get a complete overhaul. With new visuals and additional features, it's gonna be better than ever!
At $60K, all Backers will receive a PDF version of Defiant Royals: Couples supplement. We hope to make the "Defiant Royals" a whole supplement line in the future, each with different sets of NPCs. The first one will be focused on interesting couples and marriages, as the name might suggest.
We are very thankful for all the ideas and suggestions you share with us. The next stretch goal is actually a response to your questions and ideas from comments and private messages. At $70K, all the unlocked digital supplements will become available in printed format!
We will design another layout for each of the books and make them available as "Print On Demand" on DriveThruRPG. Of course, all the Backers starting from the Courtier level will still receive the free PDFs. They will also be able to buy the physical version of each supplement at print cost, meaning you will be only paying the print house fee!
