Dear backers,
Some of you have been asking for a project update and to clarify a few details. First of all, OVERISLES is still on course for its March release, with all items being fulfilled by late April. Everything is being manufactured and printed locally in the UK so there should be minimal delays. Please remember, than any hold-ups negatively impact us too, with missed competition, convention and sales opportunities, so we want this to go as smoothly as possible.
If you haven't done so already, please fill out your surveys through BackerKit (still missing 248!) so we can gather your addresses for delivery. I have just sent out a reminder email too.
If you backed the Silver Apple tier, your survey asked if you wanted the INSPIRISLES hardcover early for an extra shipping fee. We have since sent those copies out to those responding YES. This doesn't apply to those ordering after the Kickstarter through the pre-order BackerKit.
Below I have posted some recent images from the game.
Best wishes,
Team Hatchlings

Dear backers,
We have such a passion at Hatchlings for educational games so it’s our pleasure to direct you to the Starsworn Kickstarter from our friend in family-friendly ttrpgs, Michael Low.
Starsworn is a story-telling game for all ages - a combination coloring book, choose-your-own-adventure, and role-playing game that anyone can pick up and play together to tell tall tales! Legends say that long ago, magic fell from the stars - and now, when the stars fall again, a group of unlikely heroes must master strange powers to help a world in chaos ... and themselves!
Hardcover
Created by the writer of Stories Podcast, Daniel Hinds, and master teacher Michael Low of Luck Of Legends, Starsworn comes with captivating tales of heroes on a parallel adventure. Not only is it compelling, beautifully illustrated by the brilliant Rob Hebert, and easy to play, it's designed to help people of all ages master the art of telling stories together - and helps kids learn how to create compelling narratives.
Please support this wonderful game today by following the link
Best wishes,
Team Hatchlings

If any of the following Kickstarters appeal to you, please don't hesitate to offer your support.
From Unlucky Archer.
Looking for a quick and easy game to kick off your game nights, or one to wind down the evening with?
Unlucky Adventurers may just be the game for you!
It’s the debut game from Unlucky Archer, and combines the simplicity of UNO, the underhanded tactics of Munchkin, and the flavour of your favourite fantasy tabletop roleplay games.
126 cards, 2 dice and a tiny rulebook is all you need to get your unlucky adventure underway.
Packaged in an easily portable box, this family-friendly card game is suitable for everyone and great to take with you wherever you go.
Enhance your spellcasting roleplay with new mechanics, spells, and classes with which to use them.
We're Fumble Folks, and this Halloween we launch our first ever Kickstarter; the Ritual Spellbook and Witch Class supplement for Dungeons & Dragons 5e.
This book will add more depth to spell use out of combat, expand ritual spells and how they are used, and allow your spellcasters a chance to cast even more powerful spells—at a price!
Also, we'll introduce a varied Witch class, with Clairvoyance, Shamanic and Voodoo subclasses to make the most of what the book contains.
Follow the Kickstarter to be notified on launch, and help us work some more magic into your campaigns: http://tinyurl.com/FF-KS-Prelaunch
And finally from Awfully Queer Heroes.
Selanars Socketed Items is a 5e and Pathfinder compatible module.
It is designed as an option to magically enhance your equipment and items, specifically tailored to your characters.
Flexible enough that low level characters can afford it and have custom gear but also that high level are not overpowered and break the game.
This module is only £7 (about $8.50 US) for exceptional quality and repeated fun.

Dear backers,
This week has seen the early INSPIRISLES hardcovers go out to backers. We hope you like the print quality with the gloss covers, high grade paper and stitched bindings. There is a delay on the delivery to countries outside the US, UK and Canada, but we'll get them out to you ASAP. We hope to have OVERISLES and all other stretch goals/add-ons to you by April 2023.
We also want to draw your attention to the first tabletop project from our principal illustrator Josh Somerville. Please join his Kickstarter before the launch next March and support a truly exceptional artist.
WOAD is a Solo Journaling Tabletop RPG based on Welsh mythology and history. It uses a fully customised Tarot deck to play!
