Kickstarter The REBUILDING EN WORLD Kickstarter Project

[Morrus]

How about a backer-voted adventure PDF? So you guys put up a poll of the ideas you've been kicking around, and then backers vote on which one we want to see?

We've already committed to 7 over the next two years for backers, plus we have the rest of ZEITGEIST and MYTHS OF THE FAR FUTURE, and TO SLAY A DRAGON is imminent. Realistically, we can't produce anything more.

What I'm actually looking for when I refresh the Kickstarter page is new pledge levels, though. I would have jumped on the PirateCat D&DN G+ playtest, but it was already gone. I nearly committed to one of the "tell us what to do" options, but couldn't come up with a concept that would be great as a one-off. So I'll be pledging before the deadline (for Lifer if nothing else), but haven't yet.

I'm wracking my brains!

How about a GenCon ENWorld party?

I like that one. "Additional funds will throw a big giant EN World bash at Gen Con. Bail money not included."

That sounds like a lot of fun!

Or perhaps, bail money included at sufficiently high pledge levels...

I think we now know who will need that pledge level.

Alas, I almost certainly won't be at GenCon. I'm not really much for cons, although if friends are attending one I've been known to concurrently visit the city in question -- last year I went to Chicago during WorldCon when my buddy's book was up for the Hugo. So I guess a party in Indy during GenCon is a possibility...

Kickstarter question:

Did Claudio Pozas do the watercolour-style art in Zeitgeist, or was that someone else? I like Pozas' art and seriously considered pledging for one of the portrait rewards, but waffled long enough that they were all taken. However, I love the Zeitgeist pseudo-watercolour art and would definitely be interested in either a "commission a piece" pledge level with that artist, or an "order a Zeitgeist art print" pledge level. [Edit: I love the portrait of Gale, for example, in The Dying Skyseer.]

Another pledge that worked for me was the Tabletop Forge "have a master map-maker produce a map for you" pledge level. I got a pretty cool map of my homebrew setting. The Zeitgeist Flint and Lanjyr maps are pretty sweet.

In ZEITGEIST, Claudio does our head-shot portraits. Our next most commonly-used artist is a Malaysian named Shen Fei, who does the cover illustrations and some interiors. Lately we've also had a few pieces by Eleni Tsami, a Greek artist who did the Toast to Peace image in adventure 5.

How about AMA's with certain celebrities of the hobby? One where backers get to ask the first set of questions?

Bolt On
