Pathfinder 1E [Dreamscarred Press] Ultimate Psionics Kickstarter!

[Bacris]

Two very generous backers have pledges for the Wayne Reynolds cover art, so we are officially having him do the cover!

We are also over $16,000!

Unfortunately, I am still working out logistics of what was going to be the $22,000 stretch goal, so I don't have any new information to give out yet. Hopefully soon!

But, I do have some existing reward tier updates.

Andreas and I discussed the gap between the $30 reward and the $50 reward, where you pay more, but some of the rewards get removed (the Bestiary PDF and the Premier Customer status, in particular.)

Given the success of the project, we are going to be giving those benefits to all $50 backers. This will not include the printed Bestiary - the cost of our tiers has to allow all of the rest of the product costs - but you can certainly add that on for $15 (B&W) or $25 (color).

Also, for those at the $1000 reward, we are adding in a standard edition color hardcover Ultimate Psionics as part of the reward.

We have hurtled beyond our $18,000 goal, broken the $20,000 goal, and are now working toward the $22,000 goal, meaning we will create psionic item cards, Wayne will be doing the cover art, and we will have full-page artwork to start each chapter. All of the cover spots are also full.

The $22,000 goal is psionic GM screens as an included reward for those at $200 and up, and an add-in for anyone else. Price TBD based upon final production cost. We are still in discussions with printers.

The $24,000 stretch goal is that we will add at least twenty additional monsters to the Bestiary. Caveat: these may include upgrades for 3.5 monsters, although there will be new monsters, as well.

The stretch goal beyond $24,000 is yet to be revealed.

And as to why these goals take a day or two to get revealed is because, honestly, we're hurtling past them faster than expected, and some of them we are still investigating the viability of them. We expected to have a few extra weeks to make sure they could be done, so we either have to shuffle stretch goals, or delay revealing. We've had to do both multiple times so far.

We've hit the 22'000$ goal and are now advancing (quickly) towards atleast 20 new monsters in the Bestiary at 24'000$.

New stretch goals: at 27'000$ we will create paper minis for ALL the monsters included in the Bestiary (including the 20+ new ones from the stretch goal before) and at 30'000$ we are looking at adding atleast one new archetype to each of the psionic classes!

We also have a bonus PrC for when we hit 200 backers!

And Jeremy also posted a nice update with an overview of the pledges here: Ultimate Psionics Hardcover by Jeremy Smith Updated Reward Details — Kickstarter

Alright, after some time off for family being in town, I'm back in action at full capacity!

So let me give a good update about the Ultimate Psionics kickstarter.

First, we are over 200 backers and almost to $24,000 in funding!

What does that mean? Well, it means we're making a GM screen, which will be included at no additional charge for those at the $200 or higher pledge levels. Those at the lower levels will be able to purchase it as an add-on, or after the Kickstarter as a separate purchase (price TBD). In addition, we have made four limited availability slots to have your character on the GM Screen. Wayne Reynolds will not be doing the GM screen (we simply can't afford two WAR graphics), so the cost for having your character on the GM screen is lower. However, the graphic will be featured within the book itself, so you do get that added benefit, as well as all the benefits of the $300 tier.

With 200 backers, we are also including a brand new prestige class in Ultimate Psionics (details to be released later.) All backers $20 and up get this bonus prestige class.

At $24,000, we will be expanding the Psionic Bestiary with at least 20 additional psionic creatures. These will go into the Limited Edition book along with the rest of the Psionic Bestiary.

As mentioned above, I have created a chart to show what each reward tier gets based upon all the stretch goals we have achieved. You can see that on the main project page and I'll keep it updated as new stretch goals are achieved that introduce new products.

We still have over three weeks to go and are doing amazing. Work has already started on the adventure, the new content, and the bonus material.

And it's important to note that after the Kickstarter ends, these bonus perks (posters, adventures, item cards, etc.) will be available, but separately from the book itself, so if you're interested and able, be sure to participate in the Ultimate Psionics kickstarter!

We are officially over $24,000 in pledges, which means we will be adding at least twenty additional creatures to the Psionic Bestiary (which will be included directly in the limited edition book, as well.)

At $27,000, we will produce and provide a PDF of printable paper minis for all the creatures in the bestiary! All backers at $30 and up will receive that PDF at no additional charge.

With a little over 3 weeks left to go, this project is shaping up to be quite the undertaking, with lots of bonus material for our backers. Let's see just how much additional content we can get added in to the Ultimate Psionics Kickstarter!

Also note that there are still 4 spots @ 400$ for positions on the GM Screen, a professionally painted picture of a character you design, which will be included in the book, printed on a poster just for you as well as everything else that comes with the 300$ level. So, upgrade or pledge while these positions still remain, the WAR slots for the cover disappeared within 3 days.

Cross-posting an update:

As some of you have noticed, we have surpassed $27,000 in funding, which means we will be including a PDF of printable minis for all the monsters in the Psionic Bestiary for all backers of $30 and up! Our next goal, at $30,000, will introduce a new archetype for all ten psionic base classes!

In addition, we are excited to announce that should we reach 250 backers (we are currently at 234), all backers at $30 and up will receive a PDF of a mini psionic adventure set in the NeoExodus campaign setting, courtesy of LPJ Design. Here is a brief introduction to the adventure from LPJ Design: "NeoExodus: The Silvered Skull -- Nestled high in the Grit Mountains the village of Oldenhaffen is famed for the quality of its wool. Passing through, the town elder runs to you imploring your assistance. Ever since a local shepherd brought back a silvered Cavian skull, things have gone... Insane. Anyone who touched the skull is now frozen in place, unmoving. A psionic-based NeoExodus adventure for 3rd-level characters."

With 19 days left in this Kickstarter, we are doing amazingly well thanks to your support and helping us to get the word out. We continue to work on the new material for the book and will be posting some previews this month with that material to help you get a feel for what you are getting before the project completes!

Get in on the Ultimate Psionics Kickstarter today!

We are over 250 backers and so will be including the free NeoExodus adventure compliments of LPJ Design!

In addition, we are less than $400 away from our $30,000 stretch goal of more archetypes for all the psionic classes!

We have two weeks left and are breaking through stretch goals regularly!

Get involved in the Ultimate Psionics kickstarter!

We have reached our $30,000 stretch goal and have announced our new stretch goals!

At $36,000, we will include an additional 10 pages of psionic items in all copies of Ultimate Psionics. This will include new universal items, psionic weapons, psicrowns, psionic armor, and the like!

At $40,000, we will produce the Seventh Path supplement we have long discussed. This supplement will deal with the Medium-style character - paranormal activity, speaking with the dead, channeling spiritual energy, and the like. This will be a separate PDF and all backers at $100 and up will get it once it is available. Our projection on when it is available is mid-to-late 2013.

Don't miss out on the Ultimate Psionics Kickstarter!

Some updates!

We are almost to $36,000 in funding! Since we broke $33,000, we will be adding a section in the book about altering the theme of psionics to fit your game. If we hit $36,000, we will also be adding ten additional pages of psionic items!

We have also updated our $40,000 stretch goal - those at the $100 level will be getting a B&W copy of the Psionic Bestiary softcover as part of their reward, and those at the $200 level will be able to purchase the printed release of the Seventh Path at only the cost of shipping (when the book is complete in late 2013.)

We've made a set of printed and cut Psionic Item Cards available as an add-in for $10, have posted previews of the Focus Token add-in, have given an introduction for the 32-page adventure all backers $20 and up will get, and just today posted the full write-up and graphic of the all-new Forgeborn race! (That last one is for backers only)

We have less than 5 days to go and are still gaining ground. Don't miss out on the Ultimate Psionics Kickstarter!
