Connected as Daniel Alan Burrow (1020 friends)
Daniel A. Burrow is the fearless leader of Cracked Monocle, and has been working on Tephra for several years now. He's a mid-20-something, well liked by his colleagues, and with a goal-oriented personality that often gets him in trouble. He's obsessed with his steampunks, loves making up new ideas, and exploring new places (either in our world or his). You'll find him in San Marcos, TX, or at a convention near you.
I just got home and was greeted by a beautiful, glossy hardcover. Wow, I am really impressed. The book looks great, and the system is extremely interesting, and I've been a hardcore d20 fanatic for years. Now the next big challange is to try and convince my crew to give it a shot.
hoping this is coming sooner rather than later. looking forward to seeing it
Yeah, I'm wondering how Looie turned out as an Adversary!
Sorry haven't checked my email since Thursday! :o But I just submitted my info, hope it's not too late. Thanks again, and congratulations! :DD
Alrighty, thanks! I was worried because I was redirected to a blank page after pushing submit. Looking forward to the info, good luck on the organizing :D!
@Dennis, I was just debating how I want to handle that. We'll begin communicating with our adversary creators quite soon (I'm organizing everything today), but I can say - we got yours, Dennis, and it looks solid. ^_^ More information to come!
Will we get confirmation that our adversary creation got sent in properly?
@Josiah - Yeah, that was me failing. I meant USPS. (I really dislike that it's USPS vs. UPS.) I won't be using UPS for anything.
@BigbyWolfe - That would be awesome! We've watched Kurt Wiegel's reviews for many years, and it'd be an honor to be reviewed by him.
Sorry, I should have said "Cheapest option for domestic" at the end of that last post. Brain go poof. >.>
Daniel, as someone who works in shipping, I suggest the US Postal Service for international as opposed to UPS. Rates are usually much lower, and there's less chance for additional fees "duties" to the recipient.
My company has had cases where someone got something that was like $100, paid $50 to ship it internationally, and then got pinged with another $25-$50 on 'duties', and that's usually through UPS.
You might even find that Media Mail through the USPS will be the cheapest option, though I like UPS for reliability.
My group's primary GM is Kurt Wiegel who does the RPG review show "Game Geeks" on Youtube. If you like I can probably get him to do an episode on Tephra. He's pretty busy since he's an Ennies judge this year for Gencon and is getting a lot of stuff to review, but I think we might be able to get the show in before Gencon. Might help get your name out there. Let me know.
@Jay Irvine - (Speaking for US shipping) Most of the rewards under $70 will be shipped via UPS. I'll be doing some price comparisons, but I could definitely foresee the $100 and above rewards being shipped Fedex. International shipping will all be through UPS. (If you have a special request, let me know and I imagine we can work through it.)
Will the rewards be shipped out via UPS or USPS or what?
Uhhhh Ohhh can't wait, can't wait, can't wait!!!!!
I've sent out surveys to everyone $100 and under. I'm currently working on the $150+ surveys for backers getting adversaries - you should be expecting those either late tonight (late enough to be tomorrow) or late tomorrow.
Cheers!
15, actually. But the idea is the important thing. (Shouldn't try to make calculations when I've just got up)
Just got up to find a final amount of $22,821. Congratulations. (That means 16 adversaries, btw)
LMAO lisa!!!

I wound up choosing the $150 backing... I was just too tempted by having my friends face off against me to go for the $100 package. You chose WELL in your offering for that...

Any chance that the adversary book will be available to purchase down the road? Can't afford to up my pledge right now, but eventually I would like to score a copy of it.
Ok off to game so this will be my last post before the project is funded:
Just the backers with profiles that say where the are from shows 26 states (AL,AZ,CA,CO,CT,FL,GA,IL,IN,LA,MA,MD,MI,MO,NC,NV,NY,OH,OR,PA,TN,TX,UT,VA,WA,WI) and 14 Countries other than the US (Australia, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Norway, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdoms)
Some fun stats:
Average per backer: $60.64
Average per Day(based 32 days Jan4-Feb4): $678.43
Average per hour(going off [24*32]-the remaining 4 hrs, since I don't know when on Jan 4th it started): $28.41
Again a definate increase from the last set ;)
Excellent. Sounds like a plan to me, and thanks for the quick response!
@Adam Krump
I can't guarantee anything this far out, but it's definitely possible. I think there's a solid chance that we'll post a "backer's only update" that will include a coupon for the PDF download (whenever that becomes available). Again, I'm not sure when it'll be, but I'm rather certain that we'll post some sort of coupon when it becomes available. Don't worry - I won't forget about our 350+ original backers that made this all possible. ^_^
@Daniel Alan Burrow
That's unfortunate but understandable. I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. (Since virtually all of the kickstarters I've gotten in on include a comped pdf copy.)
Any chance of a free or discounted copy of the pdf when it's released?
347 Backers - $20,915 pledged of $1,000 goal - 9 hours to go!!
That did help, thanks daniel ^.=.^
I caved in. I had to be an adversary. I just won't eat for a few weeks.
Congratulations to Cracked Monocle on a job superbly done!
Okay, wow I've GOT to upgrade to get the adversaries book. BAM! 20422 baby!
I have trouble finding people to play games that aren't D&D/Pathfinder or World of Darkness, but it looks like this'll have enough juicy lore that's system-agnostic, and any d12 based system is too cool to pass up :P
Some fun stats:
Average per backer: $58.93
Average per Day(based 31.5 days Jan4-Feb4): $643.55
Average per hour(going off [24*32]-the remaining 15 hrs, since I don't know when on Jan 4th it started): $26.92
A definate increase from the last set ;)
Over 20K...Outstanding!!! Pinche Games is backing you now. Let's see if we can push it to 50K. 16 Hours to go. YOU CAN DO IT!
$20,212 at 16 hours to go - that guarantees two illustrations in the adversary book!
Randomly came upon this and it looked good, so I decided to chip in and get the core book!
Wish I could up my pledge but I already asked too much...Im lucky/glad I was able to up it earlier though. It would be cool to be selected for it. I can see the goal of having 3 or 4 being achievable.
The newest update is for you, Dennis. ^_^
*Still on fence, though seeing 20 K break would be very nice*
Was there a plan beyond 17K?
$19,947.... $53 away from the full 20k!
