And ETU was mentioned as the next Kickstarter event. The Companions will probably not have Kickstarters, but will just be made for sale.Blood Drive was what the called a "Kickstarter Booster Campaign" - smaller, quicker and with no Stretch goals. Because of this it might not have figured into their announcement as the next KS campaign, though it was mentioned.From their Twitch Q&A during the Hollerween event:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Confirmed 4 Companions being worked on simultaneously to ensure cross compatibility, but indicated that they would not be released at the same time, with Fantasy being first out the gate, most likely Q1 '21. Supers and Horror most likely next since they are next closest to being finished, with Sci Fi bringing up the rear, but no dates for anything yet. Fantasy rebuilt from the ground up rather than an update and Shane mentioned Stronghold (base-building rules) as a really cool feature. They sounded like a repurposing of the Lodge rules from Rippers to me in that it is something the group does together and additions (like a Chapel for example) provide some mechanical benefit. Also, the Strongholds will generate adventures from time to time so there is a "cost" to having a Stronghold.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Next product to get a Kickstarter will be ETU: Study Abroad, featuring material taking place in 4 different countries (Italy, UK, Costa Rica and one other I can't recall) written by people from those countries for extra authenticity. This one is going to be like the Irongate KS for Last Parsec in that it will be just the thing, no stretch goals.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">They will be boxing up the Rippers Expeditions stuff they've previously released and adding pawns and some other cool stuff.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">For Deadlands, they are updating the Blood Drive trilogy of adventures to SWADE, again adding some "cool stuff" and making it a hardback book.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Deadlands Dark Ages is no earlier than this time next year or possibly early 2022.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Necessary Evil 3 is cosmic level campaign a la Guardians of the Galaxy that will get released after the Supers Companion.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Nothing for Weird Wars until 2022, because 2021 is too full as it is, but something in the works.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Next Savage Rifts book is Atlantis.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">There is something else in the works that they can't talk about yet. (Let the speculation begin!) (Editor's Note: This was probably the Pathfinder KS)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Overhaul of the website to be more product focused is underway. Part of that is a built in crowdsourcing piece to let them do smaller things since they can only do so many Kickstarters per year and they need to save those for the really big things.</li> </ul></blockquote>
