Wow. We blew past the 100K mark in the first day and we are beyond grateful for everyone who has backed, asked questions, and cheered us on.

Day 1 Stretch Goals Unlocked

At 55K, you unlocked two new Wanderer paths: the Gourmand and the Troubador. Here's what Felix, one of the writers and game devs, has to say about them:

What's life without food, relaxation, and a little entertainment? The newly-unlocked Troubadour and Gourmand paths bring the focus in on those particular elements of the world, giving new options for wanderer groups as they explore, camp, and socialize.

At 60K, you unlocked a sticker sheet that will be added to the Wanderer's Artpack. Check your tier to see if you've got the Artpack!

Aren't the sprites cute?

At 70K, you unlocked Wanderer factions added to the rulebook. Rob weighed in on what this entails:

Despite their usually solitary existence, some wanderers find themselves drawn to small groups of like-minded individuals. These factions are spread across the ruins. While some are specifically named groups, most are ideologies that persist despite changing members. With the factions added to the book, we will detail several such groups, their goals, organisation, and quirks. Discover the green-clad Mossen Ones and the mysterious Silver Circle, and include them in your games.

At 80K, you unlocked a bookplate that is added to all physical backer tiers. That means if you backed for ANY TIER that is not retail or one of the Digital Wanderer tiers, you're getting the bookplate Sam designed!

Paste it into your book, frame it as a print, or tuck it safely away - the choice is yours!

At 95K, you unlocked a short adventure that will be added to the rulebook. No word yet on what that might be, but the writers are excited to cook it up for you!

Again, wow. We're just thrilled with the reception this project has gotten and we can't wait to reveal more stretch goals for you as the campaign goes on.

Solo rules are among the unannounced stretch goals...maybe today we reveal them?

Cheers!

Thanks to everyone who's pledged so far! Sam's got a few words he'd like to say:

Wow I’m incredibly grateful right now! To everyone who backed the project or shared the link, thank you! Knowing that this book is officially going to happen is an amazing feeling. I only realised today that it has been almost exactly 2 years since I decided to share the Eternal Ruins with you all on Youtube. I could never have imagined everything that has happened since then, and it’s amazing to see all of that work come to fruition with this kickstarter.

We still have the rest of the campaign ahead of us, and I’m excited to see us unlock some of these stretch goals. Thanks again for making this possible!

-Sam

We've got some exciting stretch goals planned, the first of which is the addition of the Gourmand and Troubador paths for Wanderers added to the Rulebook!

Cheers!
