Award, Dreams, Pledges and more!

We've been awarded a Project We Love from Kickstarter!
Evening Wayfarers!

As we enter into the final two weeks of the campaign, we've been working hard behind the scenes on new artwork and the 2nd edition proofing of Guide to the Vales. Let us tell you, we were thrilled to see the 'Project We Love' award from Kickstarter.

Yet, we couldn't do this without all of you as our backers. You are what are dreams are made of. So thank you for your trust in us and let's shoot even higher.

Update Kickstarter Page and New Reward Tiers!
We've taken your comments and questions and updated our Story page here on Kickstarter. These updates include additional artwork and a text-only version for screen-reader accessibility.

Our two newest rewards tiers, Traveler - Guide to the Vales and Journeyer - Guide to the Vales, allow for backers to pledge just for Guide to the Vales in PDF or Hardcover. 

What Dreams Are Made Of
Speaking of dreams... today is the first in our series of deep dives and sneak peeks! Backers from our previous Kickstarter, Exalted Vales, will already be well acquainted with this Manifestation, but for our new backers, we'd like to introduce you to the Dream Weavers of Drath.

Like with other Manifestations within the Vales, the Dream Weavers exert their particular form of mystical influence upon the inhabitants and region they preside over. Here, in the regions of Verin, Antia, and Nerkit, dreams aren't taken for granted as inhabitants (and visitors!) simply cannot dream on their own. In the city of Drath, you'll find the Dream Weavers gigantic temple, along with their disciples, priests, and pilgrims. With a bit of coin, can be well on your way to cozy dreaming.

True to their namesake, the Dream Weavers listen to the tales recounted from pilgrims and weave them into small squares of cloth which, when consumed, provide your dreams for the night. Even though there are never quite enough stories provided, and priests are sent to collect more, no one voluntarily deprives themselves of dreams. The malaise caused by an absence of dreaming is far to dangerous, so expect suspician if you even suggest the idea!

Things are made far easier when you have a weaver in your party. Our wizard subclass from Guide to the Exalted Vales grants access to True Dreams, extraordinary visions that bestow proficiencies, fighting styles, or even temporary feats, when you wake from your long rest.

Sweet Dreams!

We can tell you what's definitely NOT a dream: The Infernal Tome!

Stretch goals, cards and charlatans!
about 2 years ago – Sat, May 11, 2024 at 03:14:15 PM

New stretch goals

We reached 35K CAD ! Time for new stretch goals!
We start with even more boons. And yes, we mean more physical cards for the same price. We're soon reaching 140 cards. And speaking of card amount, let's consider: If you play a very optimistic 1 game per week, 50 weeks a year, and you give 2 boons each session, after one year you used 100 boons - and you still have enough for another half year without re-using any boon. In other words, unless your players have elephant memory, the deck can be your loyal companion for a very long time.
Then comes the snake oil salesman! Our very own take on the bard. A sharp tongue, a knack for captivating speeches. The charlatan is an expert in representation, but a very special kind of representation: selling valueless or fraudulent cures, remedies and potions.

Guide to the Vales as a pledge tier

We noticed a little mistake in our pledge tiers. It was not possible to order just the first book of the series "Guide to the Vales". We added a new pledge tier. So if you are only interested in Guide to the Vales in physical, you now can order it without needing to take any other physical item.

Nouveaux objectifs
Nous avons atteint 35K CAD ! Il est temps de fixer de nouveaux objectifs !
Nous commençons avec encore plus de cartes Petites Faveurs. Et oui, on parle bien de plus de cartes physiques pour le même prix. Nous arrivons bientôt à 140 cartes. Et en parlant de cartes, on arrive à une quantité très confortable : si vous jouez à un rythme très optimiste de 1 partie par semaine, 50 semaines par an, et que vous donnez 2 avantages à chaque session, après un an, vous avez utilisé 100 avantages - et vous en avez encore assez pour six mois supplémentaires sans réutiliser aucune carte. En d'autres termes, à moins que vos joueurs n'aient une mémoire d'éléphant, le jeu de carte des Petites Faveurs va être votre fidèle compagnon pendant très longtemps.
Arrive ensuite un nouvel archétype un peu hors norme : notre propre vision du barde. Une langue acérée, un don pour les discours captivants. Le charlatan est un expert en représentation, mais dans un type de représentation très particulier : vendre des remèdes, élixirs et autres potions toutes plus fausses les unes que les autres.

Guide des Vallées comme niveau de contribution
Nous avons remarqué une petite erreur dans nos niveaux de contribution. Il n'était pas possible de commander uniquement le premier livre de la série "Guide des Vallées". Nous avons ajouté un nouveau niveau de contribution. Donc, si vous n'êtes intéressé que par le Guide des Vallées en physique, vous pouvez désormais le commander sans avoir besoin de choisir aucun autre article physique.
