Stretch Goal unlocked
about 2 years ago – Wed, Mar 09, 2022 at 03:12:46 PM

Dear backers,

We hit the Team Pay Rise stretch goal yesterday, which is absolutely wonderful for all involved. We'll now be able to support out team in excess of industry standard rates! 

The mobile app was always our dream goal, so if we can somehow reach that in the next 20 days, we'll be over the moon. To help us get there, would you consider upgrading your pledge from Nimbus to Silver Apple for both hardcovers?

We're also getting your Grail and Nimbus dice samples made this week by our partners at Level Up Dice. They'll be putting together resin and premium samples in case we choose to offer gemstone versions in the future. 

Below are some pictures of the printed bookmarks.

Best wishes for now,

Rich - Hatchlings Games

Milestones!

Dear backers,

Can't quite believe I'm saying this, but we're surpassed all of our initial stretch goals alongside our expectations for the project. I know we've said this a lot, but the deepest thank you to everyone who has supported us both through backing and spreading positivity!

• Our 100k goal will be a project pay rise across the board, truly rewarding all content creators attached to the work we do.
• Our 150k goal will be a highly accessible mobile app containing all our present and future sign language material. If we secure licensing for translations of other sign languages, such as Auslan, these will also be added. This was our dream goal before the project launched!

Best wishes,

Rich - Hatchlings Games 

Other Kickstarters funding now

Dear backers,

Before launching, we had some support from friends in the community launching their own projects in Feb/March. Just wanted to highlight them today. Both are fantastic projects and creators!

"The Class Cheat Sheets from Icarus Games aim to make it easier than ever before to learn and play 5th edition.  Each sheet gives a summary of your class abilities in simple, natural language, and every ability has a custom piece of sketch style artwork to make it easy to find them quickly.  Every cheat sheet also contains a quick reference section to remind players what their options are in combat.  Through all the unlocked stretch goals, you can also get a player screen for quick non-class rules reference, ancestry reference cards, a custom character sheet, blank templates of the cheat sheets, and more!"

AND

"Zin Never Dies is like nothing you've ever played. This roleplaying game explores a magical, mysterious world inspired by the films of Studio Ghibli, with echoes of Hollow Knight.  Enter a world of Masks & Spirits, where slugs wear suits of armor; where colossal Gods visit 4 times a year; where strange, little masked people emerge from empty caves, with no face and no memories...  Years of work, art, and writing come together in one gorgeous RPG! Featuring an easy to learn & challenging to master system that puts a twist on old D20 games.  Funded in 48 hours and smashing stretch goals ever since!"

Shipping estimates

Dear backers,

A few of you have asked for some shipping estimates. Unfortunately we cannot give you exact numbers, due to fulfilment being handled by BackerKit following the campaign month. Despite this, first thing Monday (when ShipQuest are back in the office!), I will get the requested estimates based on three factors.

1/ A single delivery of OVERISLES hardcovers with all potential stretch goal items and add-ons.

2/ A single delivery of INSPIRISLES hardcovers.

3/ A bundled delivery of both OVERISLES and INSPIRISLES with all potential stretch goal items and add-ons.

We will have estimates for the UK, Europe, US and Rest of World as soon as we can.

Best wishes,

The team is complete!

Dear backers,

I'm over the moon that we've managed to unlock our £60k stretch goal! This allows 10 more creatives I've admired from the family-friendly TTRPG space to join the project. Those who know me will be aware that this whole endeavor started through our work at the Deaf charity and with our teen Dungeons & Dragons group Hatchlings. Education and introducing young people to roleplaying was always one of our key goals with the games.  These 10 writers and designers will bring years of experience, imagination and energy to OVERISLES and - with the Discord team - elevate it to new heights!

Again, we wish to extend our appreciation for this overwhelming support. 

Best wishes,

Rich - Hatchlings Games
