Closing Time!

We've only got 3 hours left for folx to get their pledges in! It's now or never if you want your name in the book, or one of the custom dice boxes! 

That said, Orion has officially been signed on as our artist! Xe'll be working with us going forward to make the rest of the fiend art, thanks to y'alls support! 

We are very, very close to the first stretch goal, and I've been talking about a few of our fiends over on twitter!

Thanks so much for all the support, and we hope these last few hours will take us far!

Last Day!

Kickstarter and Pre-Orders

We're heading into the final day of our kickstarter now! Just a little bit left to go!!

If you can't back during the kickstarter, don't worry! We'll be taking preorders through backerkit for a few months after the kickstarter ends for books, pdfs, and dice. We'll also make sure to use those funds towards attaining any stretch goals we might not hit during the kickstarter!

That said, if you don't back during the kickstarter, there IS some stuff you'll miss out on- we won't be doing preorders for the custom dice boxes, or put additional names in the book after the kickstarter. If you want your name in the backers section, you'll need to back now! 

BackerKit will be hosting our pre-order store, and shipping will be charged in BackerKit once the surveys are sent out. You'll be able to grab add-ons and modify your pledge, and you'll also be able to grab our play-it-forward option, to pass a PDF on to a community member who might not otherwise have been able to afford it.

Sundown Production Timeline

We're very excited to get Sundown in your hands! We'll be getting the cover of the softcover entirely finalized within the month, and we'll send out an update with a collection of the art we've gotten from our wonderful artists once it's all together. 

We'll also be running games on our discord server while the game is being developed. We're finishing up a major update, and we'll be distributing the PDFs ahead of printing to all of our backers! Once the PDF is laid out and ready for printing, it'll be ready for sending off to everyone who backed. It'll be a couple months ahead of the books since printing, shipping, and signing will take us some time!

We expect to have all the art by the end of June, and we'll do our final edits in this time. July will be getting our layout finalized, and our books ready to print. Our dice and dice boxes will be prepared over this time by One Eyed Raven, and they'll get sent out to our fulfillers by October. We'll have books printed shipped to us and our fulfillers around the beginning of October. We expect that books will start shipping out around the end of October/beginning of November.

120% Funded & A Word From Miguel Lopez of Massif Press (Lancer)

Two big things happened today.

We hit 120% funding!

And this blurb from Miguel Lopez of Massif Press in a Tessera Guild article makes us all warm inside.

Check out the original article here.

And be sure to check out the Lancer Kickstarter that ends just three hours after ours!

Transcription:

 “Sundown, A Queerpunk Roleplaying Game. I’ve been keeping an eye on Sundown: A Queerpunk Roleplaying Game which is active on Kickstarter until May 10th. It’s a revolutionary little game that combines accessible rules and roleplaying depth, one I think would be as good a teaching tool as a roleplaying system and setting. Sundown puts a clear focus on an empathetic, radical roleplaying that establishes player safety and player solidarity as much as player character, while equipping players and their characters to explore narratives that interrogate (either implicitly or explicitly) dominant depictions of gender, humanity, and power. From rhetorical changes to specific rules, Sundowncenters character in a unique fantasy setting, emphasizes player freedom and safety around the table, and gives primacy to stories that are often suppressed or ignored.”
