February C20 Update
about 8 years ago
– Sun, Mar 20, 2016 at 12:14:37 AM
Hello C20 backers!
RichT here:
Black Hat Matt McFarland continues making progress on Changeling 20th, as he redlines the heck out of the C20 first drafts. (That's the stage in the writing where the various writers have sent in their first drafts, and the developer, in this case Matt, comments and asks for changes and corrections).
He and a couple of other creators are also working on several of the Stretch Goal projects, but as these are still being organized, we won't have them on our production Updates until they are actually assigned to writers.
Meanwhile, we are in the last two weeks of our happily successful Pugmire Kickstarter! Described as Lord of the Rings meets Planet of the Apes, but with dogs, we are thrilled to hear of backers using the game to introduce their friends, significant others, and their children to tabletop RPG gaming.
If that something that might be ideal for you too, please check out Pugmire here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/200664283/pugmire-fantasy-tabletop-rpg
Dreaming T-Shirt Update

Hello Deluxe Changeling backers, RichT here:
First, we're going to be offering the Changeling 20th KS backer t-shirt on our RedBubble site at as close to cost as we can make it starting tomorrow in mid-afternoon and going for a week. After that, the shirt will be tweaked and only available at full price.
Black Hat Matt continues to develop the text for C20 and we went through the additional sections of the book that were added by you all leaping past the Stretch Goals, and he has them in hand as well.
Because of the dice, we intend to get out the Backer Surveys in February, but bear with us if we run into March. Thanks!
Meanwhile, Onyx Path has two completely unconnected projects, either by themes or creative teams, that we have running on Kickstarter right now that I want to share with you on the chance that they might be appealing.
With less than 48 hours to go, our Scarred Lands mythic fantasy RPG Kickstarter that is being run by our cohorts at Nocturnal Media looks to go out with a bang! This is the relaunch for the classic d20 Scarred Lands created by us at White Wolf that was considered one of the best settings during the d20 craze, Although this time we are creating both a Pathfinder rules version and a 5E D&D version through this Kickstarter and then getting those books into stores.
Check it out here if you want to join a world rebuilding after the great war between gods and titans! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1861515217/scarred-landsfrpg-setting-in-both-5e-and-pathfinde
Do you love dogs? Well, we just started our Kickstarter campaign for Pugmire, the fantasy tabletop RPG where you play uplifted dogs exploring a world after mankind has gone. Created by Eddy Webb, he describes it as "Lord of the Rings meets Planet of the Apes, but with dogs".
Funded in an hour and running without a leash through many fun Stretch Goals, Pugmire is a family-friendly game that has a lot of depth and pathos beneath the surface of dogs with swords & sorcery! Give it a sniff here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/200664283/pugmire-fantasy-tabletop-rpg
Final Ultra-Deluxe update

Hey, folks, Rose here.
Unfortunately, we didn't get enough pledges to fund a print-run of the ultra-deluxe edition. We're very disappointed, including the printer, who worked hard on the prototype.
However, this is one of the main advantages of Kickstarter: helping us figure out interest in something before we do a print run. And from that perspective, it's been quite heartening: seeing the support for the ultra-deluxe, as well as the phenomenal response for the core Kickstarter, tells us that there's a lot of love for Dreaming. That will be a big factor in determining what C20 projects we do beyond the core and stretch goals.
Thank you all for your support. ^_^

WHOO! Rose here. Rich said I could write the wrap-up update this time, so you're going to get a version that's had a lot of caffeine and sugar this morning. ^_^

This has been a really great campaign. It even managed to beat the W20 Kickstarter, by $45. ;)
This is usually when I say "and now I need to start making those stretch goals happen." And, yes, I do, but I'm excited that we're not quite done, with a shot left at the ultra-deluxe edition.
Thank you so much for your support. You've taken a game that was well-loved but never a huge blockbuster, and given it new life and beautiful binding. Again, thank you.
