Adventurers! It's the last day to back City of Tears and gain the benefit of the Roots of Bitterness, a limited-run, free add-on to those that have joined our adventure in the first three days. This will not be added to our catalog.
I understand it can be difficult to explain to friends what Neoclassical Geek Revival is, but besides the excellent review by Ben Milton for City of Tears, as previously shared, here's a review from Endzeitgeist on RPG.net. One of my favorite comments is "NGR plays really, really well. Playing it feels like OSR gameplay, but at the same time is fresh, evolved and engaging. It's a bit like experiencing old-school gaming for the first time once more, just with, you know, the progress in game design aesthetics being taken into account. NGR plays actually better than it reads. And it is a very engaging reading experience"

I mean, besides the obvious, the greater the Kickstarter grows, the more zines, red books, and content we can create, revise, and publish. We do play testing, editing, and reviews regularly. We know you like our content, and we work very hard to ensure that everything that leaves our shop is a solid piece. We can see that from your support (130%?! But we can do better!)
Speaking of reviews, thanks to Ben for the following review. This will give you some insight into ...

The winds of fortune blow across the desert, swirling across an empty city with fading daylight. A daring adventure would do well to steer clear once the lights go out; who knows what lies in the shadows?
It looks like we've hit about 60% of our goal in just a few short hours!
This Kickstarter isn't just about bringing you the City of Tears, this is about delivering as many quality productions as we can fit into a Kickstarter! The more we progress, the more the unlocks! As you all know with Kickstarters, the first day is pretty key in demonstrating success, and to that end, we'll be sharing copies of the Roots of Bitterness, which we don't plan to keep in stock and will not be selling digital copies of. If you want it, here is your chance! If your friends want it, tell them, here's their chance! Three days only!
Thanks for your support, may the winds of fortune blow in your favor!
