[h=3]Just Three Days Left to Pledge[/h]
We reached $13,000! That unlocks the ZEITGEIST Adventure Path Act Two compilation, plus the bonus Game Day adventure, BONDS OF FORCED FAITH, which means many of you will want to free up a bit more space on your bookshelves. With just three days left, here's a summary of what's what!

Everyone who pledged 60 dollars or more will automatically receive a PDF of the act one and act two compilations, which adds four new adventures:

• Revelations from the Mouth of a Madman. Chase down a Tinker in a nation of savage humanoids trying to be civilized.
• Schism. Go deep undercover in a gathering of villains and tear them apart from within.
• Diaspora. Globe-trot to restore the memories of the woman who knows your enemy’s darkest secrets.
• The Last Starry Sky. Ally with primordial forces to save your homeland as the whole world turns against you.

If you have pledged at a lower level, maybe consider going up to a higher level so you’ll get the second compilation as a bonus PDF.

Second, for the people who love the smell of books: you can get BOTH HARDCOVER COMPILATIONS in color by pledging at the $120 level. Alternately, you can add $60 to any existing pledge ($35 for the black and white version), then tell us when we send out the survey that you want to also get the act two compilation.

IF we manage to hit $17K by the end of the next three days, we get to make the awesome hardcover of ACT 3! So if you have pledged already, please help us get that next goal (and get yourself more cool stuff by doing so!) by spreading the word and encouraging your friends!

Finally, if you haven't yet, be sure to join n the GRAND CONVOCATION where the very fate of the world is being decided - your votes can influence how the adventure path ends!

It seems like the video was trying to target role playing games, but the game they're playing looks more like Candyland with a GM. Interesting concept! I'll have to try that with the kids this weekend.
