Shadowdark looks so good!

her channel and creations have been influential in the hobby

I suspect most DMs who've run one of her adventures pay attention to everything she puts out, even if they don't necessarily snatch it up. (I don't need the level 20 adventure that Matt Colville played through on livestream, for instance.)

Worth noting: The screen doesn't have any game stats or rules on it. It's all random generators, like NPC names and the like, making it useful for pretty much any fantasy roleplaying game.

Over 400 grand. I think it might be a million dollar kickstarter. Maybe. If this follows @Morrus kickstarters and about 30% is made in the first day?

Backed! Between this and the eventual Dolmenwood Kickstarter there will be a lot of checking for updates and checking the porch in the months to come.

There is a freebie fancy sticker for first day backers which might skew results toward first day a bit. It'd be cool if she has a million dollar Kickstarter!

But cool.

The holographic sticker is very cool.

Take modern mechanics and marry it with an old school B/X feel. I wonder why that sounds familiar... Just goes to show, that to get great success of a KS is getting someone with a lot of followers to promote it.

I think you're not giving her enough credit for:

1. That amazing artwork. That cover is straight nightmare fuel and she honestly had my money as soon as I saw it. Clearly this was a person who "gets D&D" the way I "get D&D".
2. Communicating clearly who she is, what she's done, and why she's making her own game and what sets it apart. This made me go from just backing the book to going "all in".
