The books and the custom cards have arrived. They will be signed and shipped out shortly! Thank you so much for your help in making this game a reality. I would love for you to email your thoughts about the game at architectgames@gmail.com, OR EVEN BETTER, tell me about the Reclamation Journeys that you go on with your friends. I will be demonstrating the game at the Origins Game Fair in Columbus that runs from May 30th to June 3rd. If you plan to attend, please please please make a point to stop by and say hello! (I don't have a sales booth, but I do have several adventures lined up in the registration guide).
This is by no means the end of the line. Should Reclamation "take off" so to speak, I have several supplemental guides in mind, and of course I still have a bonus mini-adventure to provide you all (still in the works). I will let you know when that is complete through Kickstarter. As always, keep up with us on our blog/site and like Reclamation RPG on facebook!

I am proud to announce that Reclamation is complete and ready for distribution! Check out our Lulu spotlight page on Architect Games to see the paperback, hardback, and digital license versions of Reclamation on sale:

A watermarked PDF version of Reclamation is also available at DriveThruRPG:

Paperback and hardback copies will be made available on DriveThruRPG shortly.
I am also excited to say that I have ordered the paperback and hardback copies of Reclamation for all of my qualifying kickstarters! I promise to get these shipped out to you ASAP. Also, if any kickstarter is having trouble accessing the PDF version that I supplied by way of Dropbox, please let me know and I will help you get your electronic copy of the game!
This certainly has been a wild ride, and while I have enjoyed every step of the process, I am thankful to at last take a deep sigh of breath and utter the words, "I'm done!" for the first time in almost seven years! Again, I could not have brought this game to life without your support; thank you a million times over!
As always, you can keep up with Reclamation at www.architect-games.com and please remember to like us on facebook!

Hello Kickstarters,
I have been working incredibly hard these last few weeks to tie up all the loose ends so that I can get Reclamation out for print. I am just waiting on a few more pictures and then I will be ready to go! It has certainly been a wild ride with countless ups and downs. As I've expressed before, I am so humbled by all of your support, and I hold myself accountable to produce a final product that I will be proud of and one that you will enjoy! My goal is to post another update to Kickstarter in the next week where I can announce that the game is off to print!
However, before that happens, I wanted to at least give you a sneak peak of some of the stuff I have been working on. Here is a sample of the Custom Reclamation game cards. There are a couple modifications that I am still going to make to them. For the face cards, I am going to include a plus and minus value to make it absolutely clear what the card depicts. For example, the black king will say +16 and the red king will say -16. Anyway, I am excited about these cards, mostly because of the incredible artwork. Hope you agree!

Warm Fuzzies: You have contributed to the realization of my seven year project, and for that, you’ve earned a personal email where I shall wax poetic over your generous spirit! I promise the email will contain eloquence, shameless groveling, and of course, emoticons! ;) ;) ;)
5 backers
Survivor of the Nuclear Cataclysm: Previous Incentive + You have secured your name in the opening pages of Reclamation as a survivor of the Nuclear Cataclysm! If you don’t get your name in these credits… well… there’s no guarantee you are going to make it when The Sickness destroys our civilization. In fact… you almost certainly won’t.
1 backer
Lorekeeper: Previous Incentives + A special reading of several of the short stories included in Reclamation to help bring the setting of the game to life. This will most likely be delivered by email as an MP3 or WAV file.
1 backer
Epic Lorekeeper: Previous Incentives + A special, bonus MP3 track where a survivor living in the Dystopia leaves a special message just for you!
15 backers
Psychic Download: Previous Incentives + I will personally contact the Progenitor and request that she download an e-version of the game (upon completion) directly into your brain… or your computer if you prefer. To tide you over to the delivery of the finished game, I will send you a PDF BETA version so that you can start playing Reclamation immediately with your friends!
5 backers
Secrets of the Dystopia: Previous Incentives + A special Magi rite, Host evolution, and Pariah mutation that WILL NOT be published in the book; they will only be available to Kickstarter supporters.
31 backers
Forerunner of the Dystopia: Previous Incentives + a signed paperback copy of Reclamation. Your title in the Acknowledgments will also be upgraded to "Forerunner."
28 backers
Champion of the Dystopia: Previous Incentives + a signed hardback copy of Reclamation (this actually replaces the paperback copy awarded by the ‘Forerunner of the Dystopia’ incentive) You may also add a short epitaph or quotation to your name in the Acknowledgments.
10 backers
Reclamation Founder: Previous Incentives + I will use your name (or an appropriate pseudonym of your choosing) in the book. You may find that you are the founding member of a secret organization or prominent tribe. It could be that your name is used as an example of how to chop off someone's head... or how to get your own head chopped off! Your Acknowledgment title will also be upgraded to "Founder."
13 backers
FateDealer: Previous Incentives + A custom, 52-card deck of playing cards featuring the game logo on the front and game pictures on the “face” cards. This will help you play Reclamation in style! Kickstarters who pledge at this level can vote on which pictures I use for these decks!

Immortal Hall: Previous Incentives + I will take a picture of you and have an artist draw you into the game! Email me to discuss how you would like to be immortalized on the page.
0 backers
Dystopian Baptism: Previous Incentives + I will personally create a character sheet for you based on the character you had immortalized in the $150 incentive package. A short description of this character or a quotation of your choice will also be included somewhere in the book (probably on the same page as the picture).
3 backers Limited (2 of 5 left)
Paragon Package: Previous Incentives + To match your nearly perfect pledge, I will in turn write a short story about your character specifically for you. I may even include that story (or at least an excerpt) in the actual book!
1 backer Limited (2 of 3 left)
Live Cell Survival Package: Previous Incentives + five more hardback copies of Reclamation and five more custom decks of Reclamation playing cards. This way, you and your gaming group will be fully equipped to start taking on adventures in the Dystopia. Also, send me a picture and I will have an artist draw your group into the game as a “live cell.” Perhaps you are a band of mercenaries or a tribe of Magi evangelists… or maybe you’re a pack of bloodthirsty zombies. The choice is yours and yours alone… you’ve won two pendants in the temple ga….oh sorry. The choice is yours.
2 backers All gone!
Grand Pillar of Reclamation: Previous Incentives + Oh geez... I don't even know. For starters, I'll call you personally with a sincere thank you. I'll provide you with a free copy of every game that I create in the future (this is my passion and I plan to be doing this for a long time)! Your Acknowledgment title will be upgraded to "Grand Pillar." I'll let you create a special power or a new kind of mutated creature that inhabits the Dystopia. Basically, I'm going to let you shape this world that I have created with your own imagination!
