A quick update - Pledge Manager coming soon!
over 2 years ago – Wed, Oct 04, 2023 at 07:05:48 AM

Ho there, ArcFans!

Hope you're all well.  I'm currently having a little rest after the ArcWorlde Weekender 2023, a yearly event I host in Nottingham for the ArcWorlde community. It was great seeing some of you there, and I hope to see you there again next year!

A quick update about the project - I'm currently working on getting the Pledge Manager ready for you all, and I'm hoping to launch it some time next week.  Once again I'll be launching it through BackerKit, so stay tuned for an email when it's ready to go.

In the meantime, if you've been craving some more ArcWorlde, I'm hoping to announce something very exciting in the next fortnight or so. No clues yet, but it's gonna be spooky...

Cheers!

WE DID IT!!
over 2 years ago – Thu, Aug 31, 2023 at 12:29:33 PM

Ho there, ArcFans!

WE DID IT!!!

Thanks to you beautiful people, we hit an absolutely fantastic target of over £15,000. This was so much more than I was expecting with this project, and I'm delighted that the ArcWorlde community wanted this book as much as I wanted to make it.

So, what now?

So right at this moment I've ordered a big old pizza (as is ArcWorlde tradition) and I'm sipping a glass of whiskey, and celebrating the wonderful result with my fiancee and my cat!

It takes about two weeks for Kickstarter to process all of the funds pledged to the campaign. Please make sure that all of your payment cards are up to date so that there are no complications, as in previous campaigns I've had people locked out of pledge managers because their payment didn't process!

After then, I'll launch the pledge manager, and you'll be able to let me know your shipping details, as well as add any extra miniatures to your pledge.

Over the next few weeks I'll be chugging away at writing and drawing, and I'll be posting updates for you all to read.

Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you all again so much for your support in bringing the ArcWorlde Compendium to life!

Many thanks,

- Alex

3 Hours to go... and Tshirts!

Ho there, ArcFans!

Only three hours to go until the end of the campaign! AAAAAAAAAAA

As a final little thing for everyone, I've decided to launch something that a couple of people have been asking for - more ArcWorlde merch!

Look swanky in this printed ArcWorlde tee, with the art from the front of the Compendium. 

Here's to the final 120 minutes of the campaign!

The final hours... Stat Cards Unlocked!
over 2 years ago – Wed, Aug 30, 2023 at 02:22:15 PM

Ho there, ArcFans!

Hope you're all well, and welcome to the final few exciting hours of the campaign. I've been blown away by all of your support over the past few weeks, and now there's only a day left! Time flies whilst you're having fun.

After a whole day of indecisive backwards and forwards over the £12.5k mark, we've finally (comfortably) hit our next stretch goal!

- £12.5K: Illustrated Stat Cards *UNLOCKED!*

To assist you with your games of ArcWorlde, illustrated poker-sized stat cards for each of the Characters will be made for you to print out at home for your games.

So... what's next?

- £15K: Illustrated Campaign Rules

Campaign rules for ArcWorlde will allow you to create linked narrative events for your games. Not only will these be completed and released, but they will be fully illustrated with printer-friendly artwork.

Here's to the final few hours!

Cheers,

- Alex
