Tome of Mystical Tattoos

90K! Late Update!
over 3 years ago – Tue, Jan 12, 2021 at 02:06:36 AM

Hi folks,

I wanted to space these out a bit, but obviously, 90K is a huge landmark and an update can't be avoided! Again, thank you all so much for your support! I am keeping an eye on the POLL intently and the plan is still to make sure we implement at least one of the top three selections by campaign end. However, due to high demand, there is a big surprise regarding the results which I'll announce when the campaign ends! 

Also, we'll highlight the Social Stretch Goals in this update as Instagram has almost hit the mark! Let's keep things rolling. Just five days to go! 

255/1000 Facebook Page Likes = Thunder God's Rage Alternate Cover + Thunder Deity Tattoo!

726/1000 Instagram Followers = Sun God's Steed Alternate Cover + Sun Deity Tattoo!

294/1000 Twitter Followers = War Goddess' Shield Alternate Cover + War Deity Tattoo!

Let's get these covers unlocked!

Cheers.

Karl

Hi folks,

It's me again. I'll try to keep this as short as possible because I don't want you all to hate me for posting so many updates on our progress. 

I am overwhelmed by the feedback from the last update and I have decided on a couple of things. First of all, echoing a lot of people's statements, there is a strong appeal to use the increased funding we are seeing to ensure that the foundations, artwork, and writing already going into the book are top-notch. Frankly, I agree. And as a result, I have been busy expanding our editorial team with established creators in the TTRPG community, ensuring our artistic team are ready for the challenges ahead and increasing their budget so they can create more fantastic work, and finalizing our playtest process for the group of DM's and players assigned to quality control before letting them dig into the ERC content (which some of you will also have access to!).

Secondly, this doesn't mean that I am deaf to your suggestions. I've gone through every single one I can find, and I've compiled each into a nifty poll. Please don't be discouraged if your suggestion wasn't included, as this could mean one of many things - such as the concept you brought already being a part of the book! You can find the poll HERE. Please be careful about your selection since everyone is only allowed to vote once. Please note that this does not mean that the top selection is what we will go with. The team will look through at least the top three results to see which one we can faithfully complete at a high level. This seemed like the best way to add one more awesome thing to this book already packed full of awesome while keeping things high quality and manageable for the team. Like many of you mentioned, it's not like a second book is out of the question in the future! No sense in ballooning this project to unmanageable levels!

This also means that this book is so community-driven and it's showing in so many ways. I cannot wait for you all to see the final product of everyone's collective desire to make the best Tome of Mystical Tattoos possible! I'd love to see all of you stick with us through future projects as well.  

Cheers!

Karl

P.S. Go check out our Social Stretch Goals on the main campaign page if you haven't already! Instagram is closest to the goal! 

I just made an update though...

I am so sorry to inundate your inboxes but... I mean you might be as excited as I am that we've just now cleared the $60,000 goalpost and we have blown past ALL our initial and "community" stretch goals. What a wild ride...

You can now expect the formidable Divine Tattoos in your copies come release day! 

Well, I honestly didn't think we'd get to this point so soon. I am hesitant to add too much more work onto what we already have because we want to maintain the quality, but I can feel that you're all calling for this already. 

Please let me know in the comments below about any additions/stretch goals you want to see for the remaining days of our campaign! 

And bonus question for bonus points:

What do you feel are realistic stretch goalposts for them? (80K? 100K?)

Apparently, we were aiming too low... which has resulted in everything being fulfilled... not a bad thing. But incredibly surprising. 

↓ Please check out the social stretch goals below if you're raring to unlock more at the moment! Yes, I didn't update the counters but please don't be mad at me - it's only been less than 12 hours since the 50k update...

Until next time, 

Karl

Thank you all so much. You have all unlocked Cursed Tattoos for the book (this one was heavily thought up and requested by the community, so honestly, this is a great achievement by all of you)

I don't think we've ever raised so many funds on a single day. This is a good sign, right? 

I'm happy to report we're still hard at work. And of course, that means sneak peeks are in order ;)

Recently, there's been an avalanche of messages and I'm just so grateful to hear from all of you who believe in the project and are invested in making sure it will be the best it can be. I promise I will do my best to get back to all of you when I can! 

Don't forget the Social Stretch Goals below which are going great! ↓

Until next time!

Hi everyone! 

I know a lot of you have heard of BackerKit and I have recently decided to partner with them for the last leg of this project! For those that don't know, BackerKit is an awesome group of folks who (among other things) will help ensure that our post-campaign fulfillment and surveys go much smoother! 

Hope this is good news for a lot of people!
