STRETCH GOAL #1 - Oceans

Wow. Just wow. I am beyond blown away. Thank you everyone for getting behind this little project so wholeheartedly, I am humbled and SO excited! With this level of support, Colostle might have a chance to go from a little fun project, to something so much more... so thank you, truly, from the bottom of my heart!

Before I get to stretch goals, the awesome Youtube channel 'Tabletops and Tentacles' did a little feature on Colostle and its ace! Definitely go give that channel some love because they are making some awesome videos and I am honoured to be among them! You can see the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f02m_umn83Q

Tabletops and Tentacles preview Colostle!

So, stretch goals. I had wanted to launch these with some artwork behind them but since the campaign is moving so fast (which is rad) I wanted to get the news out now, so people know they are coming, and then the artwork for them can follow later.

Stretch Goal #1 - £2000 - Colostle Oceans - This is going to add a whole new chunk of pages to the base book everyone is receiving (8-12 new pages) detailing rules and encounters for sea and ocean exploration in the Colostle. This module/expansion will add a new full page piece of colour artwork to the book and a couple more black and white ones, rules for ocean exploration, rules for a new kind of ocean-based Rook, and a new class - The Mounted.

I am super excited to be able to add this. I had already started work on this and was expecting it to be an add-on module for a future Kickstarter, but since we're here I'm building it into the base book!

The next stretch goal (£3,000) will be another new module for adventure, but I'll tease you with that one when we get a bit closer! Its pretty special!

The stretch goal after that will be a specially themed Journal for you to write your adventures in, styled on the cover like it is from the world of Colostle, with quick reference tables in the inside covers and blank lined pages within. This goal is a little bigger/more complex as I will have to get it printed and posted of course, and will only be added onto the Physical book tier. I haven't decided on the goal level for this one yet but I will let you know as soon as I do.

I would LOVE to do a custom themed set of playing cards as the topmost goal but due to the number of backers I already have and the relatively small reward tier size I have, I might just not be able to get the maths to work. I might be able to do it by introducing a new third higher tier? What would people think about that? Let me know in the comments. Failing that, I could always do a second Kickstarter for the cards later in the year. It would certainly take a little longer to get out to you as I would have a LOT of new artwork to do!! But I'd be happy to do it!

So, thats it for now, hope that sounds good to you all, and I will be back soon with a preview of the new artwork for Colostle - Oceans!

Woop!

Thank you all so much!! I know the goal was achievable for this campaign, but I'm still totally blown away that we have made it so quickly and have gone beyond! Thank you thank you thank you! Colostle is now definitely happening, the book is being made and will be in your hands!

So stretch goals... although I have some ideas (as mentioned in the campaign) I haven't yet done the maths on exactly when they will kick in, wasn't expecting to have to get that done so quickly! But now I will get on this ASAP and have another update over to you soon detailing the stretch goals and when they unlock!

I have ordered some advance printing samples  of the book which should be arriving this week. These are just for me to assess final print quality ahead of the actual print. I will share pics of those prints when I get them so you can get a sense for how the final thing will look!

In the meantime, kick back and bask in the knowledge that this thing is definitely coming thanks to you, and that I am incredibly humbled and grateful to you all.

You're the best!
