Stretch Goal #4 BROKEN! Add-on Added-on!
about 2 months ago – Fri, Nov 01, 2024 at 02:51:47 PM

Hey everyone!!

You all smashed another goal and unlocked the Brett Hess alternate art cover!

I've added it to the add-ons section so you can just add it to your existing orders, easy peasy.

It's the same price as the original (Dan Smith art) version of the book.

I'll update the art with the final version once it's available and I'll send updates of the work in progress shots.

(Speaking of which, here's one now...)



Brett is painting this on a 9x12 board and the original final painting will be made available for purchase once it is complete (and will be shipped by Brett directly to the lucky backer who picks it up)!

Thanks everyone!
Chris

Stretch Goal #4 - Alternate Cover Art
about 2 months ago – Fri, Nov 01, 2024 at 11:57:03 AM

Hi everyone!

We're pretty close to hitting stretch goal #4 which is the Alternate Cover Art for Evil Never Dies.

I asked Brett to do some concept work on the alternate art so we could show some teasers and he definitely delivered.



Just remember, this only happens if we hit that stretch goal!! I'd love to see it, personally, because I'm a big fan of alternate art covers and DCC has a long history of some great ones. 

Brett is a traditional artist and is painting this by hand. Which means, should we hit this stretch goal, in addition to the alternate cover book becoming available as an add-on, the original finished art will also be made available.

Thanks everyone for all of your support so far. We really appreciate you. Please keep sharing and spreading the word so we can unlock those last few stretch goals.

Quick Clarification about Deluxe Edition
about 2 months ago – Wed, Oct 30, 2024 at 02:29:26 PM

Hey everyone,

Just to make sure there is no confusion... The Deluxe Pledge Level includes both versions of the book (Standard and Deluxe) and the Map Pack, and the Phlogistonic Energy Dice, and the standard PDF, the Deluxe PDF, the pregen characters, etc...

If you are interested in the Deluxe Edition but don't want all the other stuff, no problem. The Deluxe edition is available as an add-on to all pledge levels (even the $1 Just Browsing level) so you don't HAVE to back the Deluxe Pledge Level to get the Deluxe Edition of Evil Never Dies (but you do get a boatload of cool stuff if you do!)

Hope that helps anyone on the fence.

Also, I've been getting some concept art from Brett for the alternate cover for Evil Never Dies and I can't wait to share it with you guys (but I'm gonna... maybe tomorrow!)

Thanks!!

Chris, Bob, Dan, Brett, and Raven

You keep doing it!! Stretch Goal #3 UNLOCKED!!
about 2 months ago – Wed, Oct 30, 2024 at 11:33:51 AM

Wow... you all are amazing. Thank you for all the support.

I like to think of these stretch goals as encounters, and you lot have defeated every one so far. What's a good encounter with a great reward, so let me tell you about what you just unlocked.

The Deluxe Edition of Evil Never Dies is exactly that: deluxe. Some of you already know that I am visually impaired, and most physical books are hard for me to read. PDFs are great sometimes, but if you're like me and have a physical book, then I have a treat for you!


This deluxe edition features 33% larger text AND each encounter area features a zoomed in map fragment for that area. Also, it's a hardback, so it is nice and sturdy (great for traveling to game conventions). It looks great too!

The Deluxe pledge level makes an even better deal because you get everything from the Physical+Digital pledge level PLUS the Deluxe Hardback, the Deluxe PDF, the Poster Map Pack and the Phlogistonic Energy Dice.

We're working with Brett Hess for our next stretch goal. If you unlock that one, you'll have the option to pick up a variant cover of Evil Never Dies. We'll have a preview of that art soon although at the rate you folks are crushing these stretch goals, it may be after the fact.

I'm really excited to be offering this Deluxe Edition because it's exactly the kind of thing I've been looking for and based on some of the conversations I've been having, I'm not alone!

Thanks again for all of your support and for helping us get the word out there. We could not do it without you!

New day, new dice, a poll, a plug, and a plea!
about 2 months ago – Tue, Oct 29, 2024 at 06:52:19 AM

Hi Everyone!

New day!
The campaign is going very well and we appreciate all of your support! You guys are positively crushing these stretch goals! I just can't say thank you enough, but I'm gonna try!

New dice!
As it stands right now, we are only $13 away from the next stretch goal. (Turns out, we hit it while I was typing this.) So we've added another set of dice (at a discount) to the add-ons section... just in case you see some you may wish to add to your collection. This Maddening Darkness set also comes with a Magic Item insert written by Bob Brinkman (author of Evil Never Dies),



A poll!
Do you have vision issues but still like physical books? This old cyclops (that's me) wants to hear from you. (You can click the link or just check it out at the bottom of this update.)

A plug!
Bob will be running two playtest sessions at Planet of the Cyclops Con (and there may be a couple seats left if you hurry.) If you aren't familiar with PotCC, this is a virtual convention put on by Goodman Games November 23 & 24.

A plea!
Please continue talking about (and sharing) this project on your favorite social media. We really appreciate it and it has a huge impact!

Thanks!!

Chris
