Thanks to all of you, we've started on the journey to deliver another fantastic set of books!  Thank you for being a loyal backer, and showing us that we can continue to grow and deliver amazing games!

Next steps:

  • Confirm the backer information with Kickstarter, this usually takes a few days.
  • Share the Backerkit link so add-ons can be added. 
  • We've already confirmed with the printer the final copy for the City of Tears and will be providing them with the final print copy for Scenic Dunsmouth by Dec 15th.

If you have any questions, comments, thoughts, or feedback, please feel free to reach out to me at [email protected].

Thank you everyone for all your support! Time for our hard work to start!

35 hours left to spend in the desert!
over 1 year ago – Wed, Nov 23, 2022 at 09:47:28 PM

Just a little under 35 hours left to go!  We've been off hunting ghouls in the desert.  It's great to see so many adventurers join us on this journey.   Just a few remaining notes.

We'll be sending off all the PDFs in time for Christmas! We hope you can share some holiday gaming with friends, family, and loved ones!   We've decided to use Backerkit for add-ons/upgrades and will share that information shortly.  Feel free to reach out to me should you have any questions!  

Lastly, we have confirmation on all our production times, and at this time, we have no doubts we can fulfill!  Thank you for your support and loyalty!

There are truths and mysteries in the Sands! (242% / 275+ backers)

My fellow Djinn!

I have some EXCELLENT news;  part of Kickstarters is making sure we are transparent in the current state of the project, and today's news is particularly note-worthy! 

We have confirmed that the printing for the City of Tears is mid-February, and we were able to secure the printing date for Scenic Dunnsmouth in mid-February as well.  That in and of itself is pretty miraculous, whoever spent the piety on that miracle has my thanks! (Take 5* my level in piety and add it to your character sheet.) 

The unlock for Down in Yon Forest is also confirmed as being available for production by December!  

I have had a few questions about add-ons, as I understand there are some challenges in adding them to backers.  I'm currently looking at two options.    The first is Backerkit, allowing our backers the opportunity to add unlocked add-ons to their pledges.  There is some configuration required on my part for this one.

The second option is to provide all our backers with the opportunity to purchase the add-ons at Kickstarter prices using codes on our website, neoclassicalgames.com.  From the backers I've spoken to, they've indicated either option works, so we'll have that in place before the end of the Kickstarter.

As always, I appreciate your support, feedback, and engagement.  Please continue to share this Kickstarter; tell your friends, gaming groups, and otherworld entities. 

Take care!

We hit our second stretch goal! (over 230% funded!)
over 1 year ago – Wed, Nov 02, 2022 at 01:32:02 PM

So we hit the “Down in Yon Forest” stretch goal last night, perfect for GM’s to get a head start on a great Holiday themed adventure!  We are going to branch out a little bit for our next stretch goal and put forward Michael Moscrip’s adventure “Oakfell Vale”.  An order of druids guard a normally idyllic valley and support the local farming communities. But now strange and unwholesome abominations are marauding the countryside and foul omens are in the air. Something is spreading foul corruption across the earth.  How can you pass up this kind of Oakfell Value? Eh eh? Ok, I am going now.

Lovely time for a vacation! (191% funded, only four days in!)

Well, it looks like we just hit our first stretch goal and we’ll be doing a lovely print run of Scenic Dunnsmouth, the perfect tourist destination and a great place to raise a family. You'll see the add-on option shortly! Ah, to hear the pitter-patter of little feet;  and so very, very many little feet at that!  


Our next stretch goal is already within reach.  We will be doing a run of the zine-sized holiday adventure  "Down in Yon Forest" when we hit the $18,000 stretch goal.  We’ll queue up another hardcover option after and see how great a deal we can offer the Sultan-level backers!


Keep the momentum, we can't do this without you!
